Lenny, is the AKG XLII preferred over the XLS model for voice overs?
@HeyLennyB 2 күн бұрын
The XLS has a flat response and offers a slightly darker sound. The XLII would be my choice for voice recording. However, it's important to remember that your recording sound will depend on other factors, such as the size of your room or booth and how well it's acoustically treated. Do you have a mic already? Email me directly, and I will make some suggestions if you'd like.

How can i hook that up to my rodecaster pro
@HeyLennyB 4 күн бұрын
You need to go out from the 528e to a "Line-In" level input. There are line level inputs on the RodeCaster Pro II model.

And yes, adding EQ, Compression, etc , is what it takes ... I use an Exciter plugin along with the Universal Audio Avalon VT-737 Tube Channel Strip UAD Plug-in and the Waves Clarity VX Noise Reduction Plugin together using Garage Band as my DAW.... works great, especially that Avalon VT-737 !!! WOW that thing makes your voice sound GREAT !!!

This is incredible/bizaar ... I too live in Texarkana Texas, I too have an Electro Voice RE-20 AND the one that really shocks me is that I have the Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD USB Audio Interface, which just went out on me after only having it for less than a month. I am sending it back and getting a much better USB interface.... I found this video from google searching last night.

What's the best positioning for a 416 mic? They tell you to point it down, but upwards creates an airy light sound.
@HeyLennyB 16 күн бұрын
Hi @MichaelJamesLorinVoiceovers. The best position for a microphone depends on which one sounds the best. For voice recording, aim for a setup where the mic captures your voice as clearly as possible while minimizing reflections from the room. It's important to consider the mic's position within the space. An MKH416 mic is excellent, but its focused pickup pattern can pick up reflections if there are any reflective surfaces in its path. You may find my acoustic treatment training course helpful. www.lennyb.com/training-courses

Thanks for the excellent video! We love the dbx 286s! I (Craig) recorded vocals with microphones direct in my TASCAM DP-32 on our 1st two albums and while they sound excellent, mixing was sometimes a struggle because of my poor microphone technique. I started using the dbx on our 3rd album, "Strange News From A Distant Star" (on our KZbin channel), and while you might not be able to hear any difference from our first two albums, the dbx 286s made mixing my vocals much easier, and it made any microphone I plugged into it come alive with more versatility thanks to all the excellent features you mentioned.

Lenny B, I have the symetrix 528e and its been FANTASTIC, but I know its not going to last forever. Can I bypass it, where my MIC to USB interface and then to Mac and THEN use a plugin in place instead getting the same performance?? Can I use that configuration to do Podcasts, screen recordings ?? If so, what is the best plugin you recommend that does all that the symetrix 528e does ?? Can you suggest another video or perhaps your courses for me that will direct and educate me on what to do ??
@HeyLennyB Ай бұрын
Yes Robert, you can and will likely get a better result. I create custom plugin settings for my clients, and I generally use the F6 and the Scheps Omni Channel by Waves. If you send me a raw sample of your voice, I'll send you back a free example of what my processing sounds like.

@HeyLennyB Ай бұрын
The RME Babyface is such a great interface. I'd be a little hesitant to run it through a budget piece like the UV1. If the best quality is what you're after, I'd suggest plugin processing. However, if realtime processing is a priority, the UV1 or the DBX286 can offer you a good sound.

@HeyLennyB 14 күн бұрын
The hardware is a little different. The plugin version is great for understanding what the unit can do. I'll put it this way: I doubt that any average listener to your audio could tell the difference between the sound of the unit and the plugin.
@RobTheSuave Ай бұрын
Thanks. I found you from an interview someone else had with you. Though I know your custom presets will vary in price, but is there a ballpark number for a custom voiceover preset for audacity?
@HeyLennyB Ай бұрын
Hi Rob, I'd be happy to get you a price, but I need to hear your audio first. My fee depends on what is necessary to optimize your sound. However, Audacity's stock plugins don't give me enough control, and I can't guarantee that the plugins I'd suggest will run on Audacity. It's free to send me your audio and get an example of what my processing sounds like. Please follow the three steps on this page: www.lennyb.com/get-your-voice-processed-submission-form

Hi Lenny, thanks for posting this. What would be the pros/cons of this versus MainStage for live podcasting or recording voiceover work?
@HeyLennyB Ай бұрын
I think they can both acomplish the same thing. MainStage might be more complicated due to how many features it has. I'd say use the one you're most comfortable with. Editing audio is a different task that you'll need a DAW for.
@auralplex Ай бұрын
The last sentence makes it so I want to sell the unit now. I already have other interfaces that have preamps… and I have plenty of plugins. I guess there was no point to buying the Art if plugins do a better job than it’s onboard EQ and compressor.
@HeyLennyB Ай бұрын
Hi @auralplex, it depends on your goal. I think you can process more surgically and in more detail with plugins, usually offering a better quality sound. However, if you require a processed sound in real-time, hardware is the right move.

Hey Lenny, If I paired this with my Sennheiser MK4 🎤 + Scarlett Solo 4th Gen USB audio interface, would it work as well as you demonstrated in this video? Or would the Solo limit my results..
@HeyLennyB Ай бұрын
The Solo isn't really necessary because the Voice Channel is an audio interface by itself. If you were to run the Voice Channel into the Scarlett Solo, I don't think you'd be limited at all. However, it's extremely important that you gain stage the two units. This means making sure that your level out of the Voice Channel not too high or low. You also must use a line level into the Solo. Hope that helps.

Hello, I am thinking of buying Camden 500. My interface is Neumann Mt 48. I was recording using the preamps of my interface. However, as an external preamp, I am not sure whether the Camden 500 is better than the state-of-the-art Neumann MT48 or what difference I will get. what is your opinion? ( By the way, the preamp I want to use is AMS NEVE 1073 LB. But I'm saving some money for it. Since the price of the Camden 500 is low, is it worth giving it a chance? ) Thankss
