@@_xtrmntr_ I disagree. Because it’s a naturally thin sounding mic, it has an inherent brightness to it.

I feel like from getting to use that 1300 mic it’s more about the features on it than the sound itself

[@patthesoundguy]

Being an audio engineer with many years of experience I love these videos. What's amazing about it is there is quite a difference between the microphones but when you start doing a lot of the modern processing techniques I bet you could use the $13 mic for a major record release and no one would ever know the difference. The second you auto tune the vocal the vocal ends up being partially synthetic and generated by the computer and will sound like a $13 mic was used in my opinion. I liked the Lewit it sounded great for the money

[@WanderingLogos]

Is there any consumer level auto tune software that’s any good? I looked about 10 years ago and didn’t find one. I even thought about creating one bc I’m a software engineer but, it was not easy to do. I didn’t want to work on it forever

Yess! Exactly! i'm an engineer for 4 years now and got myself thinking, there's a lot of things that are just so overprocessed nowdays, for example speedup rap, anything with hard high pass and with a lot of reverb, which you really don't need a TLM-103 to make a good song.

[@LaceChaser]

I’ve recorded 4 albums with 1 single $80 condenser mic and all instruments and vocals sound AMAZING, but a lot comes into play with getting a great sound. I recorded them all in an open 3 story house, I made a cardboard box shell around my drums to point the sound to the mic, I used my favorite 5w practice amp for guitar, same with bass, and recorded vocals in a shower with glass doors. So, every track had optimal recording possibilities. Editing the songs only took a few hours because of this and my first EP in total took 3 days to make and put in stores using that one mic. I called it “3D EP”(3 days & 3D art on the cover). You NEVER need to spend 1300$ on a microphone unless you want to just LOOK FANCY. The sound is up to you to make good or bad. Also, maybe you might want an expensive mic to pick up tiny micro sound waves such as in “ASMR” or whatever it is when people lick microphones and whisper….. to each their own I guess. But, yeah I’d say that $130 mic in this video could be used to produce professional albums ANYDAY!
