Wow, such a HUGE difference adding the line to blend it

COOL

Great mic but I think you need some low cut on the hot rod to make it sound as good as the regular.

5:30 thanks for explaining the drum samples. I was thinking “there is no way that drum sound is just 2 overheads.”

Sounds like a Tim O’Reagan song from Jayhawks

If you try to be Arturo, you will have to fight! You can mimic him but whew he is one tough dude cause I played his works and my goodness

Can I ask a question, just because I don’t want to open my 4038 up if I don’t need to. Sorry if this is a bit long too. So I’ve had this mic brand new for a few years, and def never exposed it to any big air blasts, or high DB’s, but today I was just doing a little vocal test with it, and I was doing a little rap verse, quite close, and I wasn’t singling loud by any means, and thought I was singing quiet enough that I wouldn’t need a pop filter, so I was trying to be quiet, and gentle on my plosives, but that said, when I listened back, I def exposed it to a few plosives. There was probably about 10 all together, and most were very mild like T’s, and F’s, but there were probably about 4-5 P’s/B’s that were a little stronger, but still pretty mild. I’m so mad at myself, because I almost never do a mic test on any condenser up close without a pop filter, but I just thought I was singing really chill, but, anyways, I tested it after with a pop filter, and it sounded fine, and tone wise nothing was obv messed up, or to different, but if anything, I felt like maybe the low end was a bit thinner, just a hair, but that could be totally in my mind, or just the tonality/pitch of the other takes being a little higher. I just wanted to ask though, in your opinion, and I know you can’t say for sure, but do you think there’s a good chance that even a handful of light plosives messes anything up, or actually stretched the ribbon? Also, say a ribbon did get a little stretched, is low end loss a particular symptom/affect, and do you think if it did stretch a tiny bit, it would be comparable/equal with how it might just stretch naturally over the span of some years? Cheers.

I love this guy! Just an incredible human being. I just bought ENAK Microphones from the estate of Clarence Kane, my mentor and friend for decades. We actually go back to his pre-ENAK, RCA days. ENAK, like AEA is faithful to Harry Olson's original design and specs. Nothing wrong with that. But Royer is innovative and as an engineer I love and respect that. John has caused me to re-examine the method of corrugation we use in restoration work. Thank you John! You make amazing and interesting videos! I hope to buy you lunch or dinner some day!

Two of my favorite musicians playing great music on superb instruments. Tasty!

what kind of guitar is this? sounds great

hwhatdfdfdfdf

Sounds like a Maynard Ferguson arrangement

Consistent placement. Love to see it!

Glad the 121 can take a joke. That would have killed most ribbons

Got mine 2 weeks ago.. How close to the speaker should it be? Thanks

Released a new music video! Check it out! 'I Ain't A Monster' Let me know what you think in the comments! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWbbpqGhnpd8n80feature=shared

This was exceptional

Sounds fantastic!

but that supro is defiantly with a 8 inch or else its gonna be a oval or sth

Fastenating! Thank you!

DId you do work in the DAW for added brightness considering the darkness of ribbon mics? Just curious. Great video

@royerlabs. I already have an older R-122 and wanted to grab one of the new ones to record in stereo like what is demonstrated here. Sounds fantastic!! What is the name of the mic holders that are holding the Royers in place because I’d want to do the exact same thing? Thanks

This sounds like better than the r-122 to me on violin

R-10 or R-122?

Royer sounds better imo; the 57 sounds farty

121 for me

Just listening and noticing the “less decibels” sounded nice and intimate. Definitely different from the “louder decibels”, which, in this example I didn’t care for.

hey make a Ax-mount for the R-10 and SM-57

great chorus mate

First, my respect for Jacquire King, best producer on the planet. So I preferred the r-121 without the booster. Running the mic-pre hot on the API you get a little more room noise, but the color of the UAD API running hot sounds crunchy and delicious in my opinion, which is funny because I learned that directly from Jacquire 😂. On the other hand, if I were recording vocals or high gain electric guitar the booster would be wonderful👌. I think it depends on the situation also, if you want the acoustic a little buried in the mix I would say no booster, but if it’s a vocal acoustic solo performance I think the booster would be great! All in all, great demo, great mic, and my absolute favorite producer of all time! Thanks 🙏

Far too complicated for me..

@RoyerLabs Can we hear them RAW without reverb?

Interesting combo. What do you think one is doing the other isn't?

Love the SF12's ....I use a modded Stellar RM7, 1.8 micron ribbon, better tranny and removal of built-in pop filter - stunning! Poor man's SF12...cost about $1100

Rub your stomach and patting your head is childs play in comparison

This sounded beautiful. It reminded me to take my R-10 to my recording session today. I'll bring my DBooster too. (That should get me to the same place as the Hot Rod, right?)

What do you do if you're still not getting any signal (or barely any signal) after following these instructions? I hooked the dbooster up to the R10. I've tried multiple cables and interfaces and wiggled the cables. I turned on the phantom power before plugging stuff in and I tired turning on the phantom power after plugging it all in.

Uh, no examples?

Very high quality mic 🎤

ça rend mieux si vous les placez en mode blumlein. j'ai aussi des micros à ruban et je n'ai jamais trouvé mieux que la position en blumlein.

What a great song.

no way this is a mono recording lol

Please explain badge backwards.

Way to go dB! 😄

Excellent!!

I have one and yes it does exactly what they say it does. I've not tried all the others, but I can say, 110%, one will not be at all disappointed with the dBooster.

fantastic song, fantastic recording and mix.. LOVED IT!❤

Great Microphone!

stop using this guy to sell me microphones!!! :)

are you sure that's a c7?
