[@Producelikeapro]

What are some of your favourite microphones in your locker?

[@paultorbert6929]

I have 3: M-Audio Luna(first gen) I use that in PT8LE for vocals, with a pretty radical eq curve. Sennheiser e609 for live guitar cabs(Randall RT212cx) Sennheiser e865 for live vocals I would like to win a Roswell K67 mini, I entered their giveaway…. 😂

[@andreirlmeier]

421 sennheiser

[@andreirlmeier]

Kill the algorithm

[@ArloTarr]

I’m about to add a Peluso 414 but I’m going to upgrade my interface first to the Evo 16🤘 Tracking drums in my home studio next!

[@danieljones6824]

My SM7 (not B) SM77 on snare and MD431 for live vocals

[@puppperoni]

It's been a good night. Dave Catching here. Not saying goodnight, just saying.

[@mannysmiclocker]

Agreed ;)

[@rundajulesproductions7735]

How do you get a hidden track w/o a CD? If somebody does it on vinyl, 'nuff respect 'cuz it would be expensive, but hardly hidden if you can see the grooves?

[@in.der.welt.sein.]

I've noticed a lot of the super cheap EV mics get overlooked rather often, like the nd267, bk-15, and nd767, and they're also surprisingly great. The older pl mics are pretty cool too, like the pl80.

[@in.der.welt.sein.]

The pzm-180 mic is incredible for drums. I'd highly recommend trying that out at some point.

[@dljr60]

love the beyer 834

[@ryanshook8284]

I have one of those hot holders. Bought from DIY Guitar pedals. I believe those are the same as Rick Wilkinson's design.

[@pablo.l]

[@mannysmiclocker]

Aw man thank you for sharing 🎉

[@RC32Smiths01]

You know that's a strong professional with credentials like that! Seeing diverse professionals with much advice and gear to showcase is a wonderful thing.

[@mannysmiclocker]

Amen and perfectly said!

[@ProbablyTooLoud]

This new series is a gold mine !

[@mannysmiclocker]

Appreciated you sharing and thanks for checking out J!

[@besenkopf77]

Another great episode. I liked seeing the Realistic/Radio Shack mic.

[@mannysmiclocker]

Thrilled you enjoyed and yes to my surprise as well he had one Ha 🎉

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks for watching!

[@butterblood]

Got to see Dave play with EODM during a snowstorm in Prov RI 2005? Maybe 15-20 people in the room. One of the best shows I ever saw.

[@mannysmiclocker]

Lucky you Wowza🎉

[@butterblood]

@@mannysmiclocker Samantha Maloney was playing drums I believe.

[@Producelikeapro]

Wow - a dream

[@councilofgiants1031]

An absolute TREAT! Thanks, Manny and Dave [and Mr. Warren, of course] for this current installment of Manny's Mic Locker! I love the sharing of knowledge, experience, and joy these guys exude for delicious consumption by we who aspire to create. Great stuff! :)

[@mannysmiclocker]

Thanks for sharing and you are appreciated for tuning in! It’s what we do and try to share knowledge of the old days of recording and behind the scene tips🎉

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks so much!

[@liamfitzgerald7528]

I have all three of those EV mics. The 635A is great on guitar cabinets. I've gotten great sounds with the PL95 on acoustics

[@mannysmiclocker]

I need to get some of these quick too lol

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks for sharing! Need to check them too!

[@Netsuko]

I would believe this guy was an absolute professional just by the way he looks. There comes a certain authenticity with this look. Rick Rubin, Andrew Shepps, Dave Catchings…

[@mannysmiclocker]

I need a beard too Ha

[@Producelikeapro]

Do it *in palpatines voice*

[@grantwalkersound]

A serious hidden gem that Dave has at Rancho there is a pair of Milab DC-196's. They weren't mentioned here and they're very obscure, but I threw them top/bottom of snare on a singer/songwriter record out there and they were fantastic. Possibly my new favorite snare mic.

[@mannysmiclocker]

I’m manny mic locker 1 I featured Milab VIP-60 wowza so I get it. I’m gonna do a review of their sister company Pearl on a upcoming episode. We may have edited that out as I remember him sharing …🎉

[@zorkwhouse8125]

really enjoying this series :-)

[@mannysmiclocker]

Thank you for tuning in ;)

[@zorkwhouse8125]

@mannysmiclocker it's awesome man. Ditto the "show us your junk" episode you guys mentioned as well. I've seen most of that earthquake series, and before ya'll mentioned it I knew I had recognized you from somewhere - so that's cool and congrats that you're doing your own show now. So far so good and look forward to the next one. :-)

[@jg-ce1yg]

as the only of my peers who is super into mics this show satisfies my mic lust and curiosity, enjoying the series a lot 🎙️

[@mannysmiclocker]

Thanks for sharing and you are appreciated! We live doing these shows and mutual as far as learning 🎉

[@danieljones6824]

Sennheiser is the MD431 MKII

[@Producelikeapro]

Marvellous!

[@timjonesguitar]

Really enjoyed this

[@mannysmiclocker]

Thanks for sharing Tim🎉

[@Producelikeapro]

Thank you so much! Manny is bringing the real guns

[@johnnyresin]

I found an old Realistic Highball 2 at a thrift store years ago for $20 and it's amazing. They were designed I think for harmonica, but sound so good on snare drums! The only drawback is the built-on cable with 1/4" jack 🤣

[@johnnyresin]

Just remembered I actually used it on a Queens drum cover video I did years ago for "First It Giveth". The spot I had it kind of caught the snare, rack tom, and hats all at the same time. I also used a super cheap plastic karaoke mic I got brand new for a think $3 on the floor tom, and a converted Fender Rumble bass combo as a sub mic on the kick. I feel like y'all might appreciate that 🤣

[@mannysmiclocker]

I’ll have to find one now! Thanks for sharing J 🎉

[@johnnyresin]

@@mannysmiclocker no problem, and thank YOU for this amazing episode, along with all of the others of course 💚 The Highball 2 reminds me a lot of a 57, with just a little more grit. I also forgot to mention that the body is a little small so it doesn't fit every mic clip. It fits my Shure clips just fine, but I have a couple of cheaper ones it slides right out of 😂

[@jobotsound]

What's that intro tune? Sounds awesome..

[@mannysmiclocker]

It’s my own band called The Chavez Ravine. Tracked called “ Audio Trafficking” off our LP Uno. Thanks for sharing J!

[@ryanshook8284]

What mic is at 18:55? Looks killer but he doesn't say what it is

[@mannysmiclocker]

I believe it’s a ev velocity mic. $200-500 most times I see and Almost all need re ribbons but it’s a very cool mic for color and it’s a Ribbon!

[@ryanshook8284]

@@mannysmiclocker Thank you immensely for taking the time to answer this. Appreciated

[@christophervaldez8746]

You shoulda asked Dave about his band Honk if Yer Horny. 😅

[@Frankyandhisguitar]

Killer mic collection. Inspires me to just try any mic, especially the inexpensive ones.

[@mannysmiclocker]

Now 🎉that’s the spirit!

[@Reprodestruxion]

Time to interview and record my countryman, Alain Johannes

[@mannysmiclocker]

Ha totally 🎉

[@Producelikeapro]

Let's do it?

[@Reprodestruxion]

Sending it to his Instagram and Facebook

[@Joey-rp5vg]

Dave sounds like a cool dude. What a great collection of mics. Manny is as cool as ice,, ( might need some ice out in the desert ) cheers Manny. Big thanks to the PLAP team.

[@mannysmiclocker]

Joey you are appreciated my Man and Dave is such a true sweet Cat! He’s genuine as gold in my book!
