This guy is on a frickin roll

[@Mario_DiSanto]

Is that a Lentar lense in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

[@kellypeterson2625]

I have read and watched a lot of info on microphones. Your video is the most informative I have seen. It explains very clearly. Thank you!

[@Mario_DiSanto]

Perfect, exactly what I was hoping for here.

[@daniargileo]

I love your videos, Mario, they're very cool! Never stop!

[@Mario_DiSanto]

I'll be sure to keep 'em coming.

[@AldeanLeger]

Strokefest! Strokefest! Strokefest!

That last bit is valuable. We might think we want an expert to tell us what to do in a given situation, but often what we really need is a fundamental understanding. That way we are more likely to make effective decisions without the expert. This seems to be a universal experience between many disciplines, not just recording. Thanks for the video, Mario. Cheers!

[@Mario_DiSanto]

"This seems to be a universal experience between many disciplines". Yes 100% sir. I try to keep this mindset where ever my endeavors lead me. Cheers.

As a person who does audio engineering school, I learned a few things here. Really cool and insightful vid.

[@Mario_DiSanto]

Schweeet! Glad to hear it.

[@bennetfu]

Great work as always!! I really like your approach to these educational videos. I‘m getting a lot of new knowledge and inspiration from your videos. Keep it up! Greetings from germany!

[@Mario_DiSanto]

So happy I am able to help people from all around the world. The internet is amazing! Cheers

[@Thomas.Lafitte]

Thank you so much Mario, you made me learn a lot this time!!! You got the clarity of a Neumann's microphone! I have the great luck that my father was a teacher in physical sciences, and learned me some basics, but the way you explain things seems very clear to me!!!

[@Mario_DiSanto]

Very cool Thomas! Always great to hear from ya.

[@scottshields3054]

Mario, there's a lot of stuff you mentioned in here that's really good. With polar patterns, you can also use their blind spots to your advantage and get minimal bleed between sources. It's also something that becomes pretty obvious that someone either knows or they don't when talking to most hobbyist engineers. As you said, it can definitely affect the end product. Even in mixing it can be pretty obvious who knows this stuff and who doesn't.

[@rolfiee]

спасибо Mario! i think i would be incapable of watching a video of this length on such a topic if not for you keeping it interesting lol.

[@Mario_DiSanto]

Very happy to hear that. I often fear these long videos should be cut down to half the length. It's so hard to cut out information though.

[@gordonhuskin7337]

came for the info, stayed for those suspenders! Good vid as always big guy

[@Mario_DiSanto]

Belts are for posers.

[@the.fresh.bananas]

Great presentation of some very useful information. Thanks for that! Cheers!

[@Mario_DiSanto]

My pleasure

[@billymcguiremusic]

Been really enjoying all of these recent videos you've been putting out, Mario! I always love stuff like this! In response to your 3:1 video, I didn't realize you were a mechanical engineer during the days; that's very cool!

[@Mario_DiSanto]

Thanks man been putting a lot of time into these. Cheers

[@billymcguiremusic]

@@Mario_DiSanto You've definitely been hustling!

[@TheProducers]

This video is super informative and It opened my ears regarding the use of omnidirectional mics for a live acoustic recording. Great stuff!

[@Mario_DiSanto]

Thanks Claude! Omnis always seem to be cast aside, but I like em.

[@juanfernandorojo8805]

Excellent videos, I'm learning a lot for a project I have in mind that I want to do. Thanks

[@Mario_DiSanto]

Thanks for watching!

[@julianarturomoracortes9798]

This videos are just amazing. Love them!

[@Mario_DiSanto]

Thanks so much for watching friend.

[@profileproductions4462]

Awesome vid!

[@wave8362]

1:22 "Our brain converts acoustic pressure into intelligible sounds." and sends it where? 🤔 (lovely content as always, cheers)

[@ysamuelarai]

Thanks. Hope you can also delve into microphone acoustic/resonance chamber designs as well at some point, e.g. of the Shure SM7b

[@ArlenSheehan]

mario youre the man! Cheers for the video!

[@johnkaplun9619]

Best video you've made yet

[@Mario_DiSanto]

Glad you think so! These longer videos tend not to do as well as the other fast paced ones but I like to get the information out there regardless.

[@johnkaplun9619]

@@Mario_DiSanto yeah anything good tends not to do well anymore lol. Appreciate you doing these videos anyway

[@millennialanimal]

And the best dressed KZbinr goes to! Mario DiSanto!!

[@Study_Sleep_Chill]

Proximity Effect, now I know! Thanks. Looking at a Mic-parts kit to upgrade my Monoprice 600800.

[@Mario_DiSanto]

Little DIY projects are always fun. Good luck.

[@ClaudeLavender]

Everybody luvs Mario, yezzz!

[@mikebassy]

Love that jacket

[@nedjowann]

very nice

[@BadChizzle]

Since we’re friends, I’ll even watch your videos containing things I already know. Well done, by the way. 👍🏼 Now… I’m still waiting for a Loving video about your Acrolite, as you stated you could do a complete one on just it alone. Being the proud owner of my own… as well as the black sparkly version… and even a Supraphonic. Chuckiedoodles is waiting with excitement for that, as well as one on your kick pedal. Just kind requests, mind you.🤞🏼Aaaaaaand ideas for content.🤔 I do understand one, “Can’t Always Get What They Want”,.. but if I try some time… … … Ha Ha… yeah, I did dat. ✨Respectfully, Your Fan and Friend in California✨

[@Mario_DiSanto]

I have always wanted to try out a Supraphonic! It's the bonham machine! Which do you prefer? Or are they different beasts from themselves?

[@BadChizzle]

@@Mario_DiSanto Let’s just say, I wouldn’t break up with any one of em. But… I think they have a lot in common. Like tuning range, to mention an important aspect. Supraphonic is a little more open sounding if you want it to be. Wish I could drum like you, I’d know them way better than I do.

[@mikebassy]

Weird day , my friend gave me a brand new epiphone Les Paul for Xmas ! I cried

[@Mario_DiSanto]

Wow that sounds like a great friend man!

[@mikebassy]

I sometimes walk past Joe Meeks studio and I wonder if you could have taught him stuff , you would have been in a candy store if you met him .

[@AldeanLeger]

Is the bass roll off on my microphones specifically designed for the proximity effect or is that just one use?

[@Mario_DiSanto]

Multi-use. Some microphones it acts like a HPF to filter out unnecessary frequencies for a track.

[@mikebassy]

It’s like a young guy from a film or band who plays CBGBs is teaching us which makes it way cooler but I’m still not able to keep up

[@martinhorstrecorder7866]

best jacket ever! stolen from Shaft? 😀

[@Mario_DiSanto]

$7 garage sale find!

[@AldeanLeger]

I think you answered my question "why does my Fishman amp give 24v phantom power?"

[@Mario_DiSanto]

Did I??? Never heard of 24V phantom power lol!

[@AldeanLeger]

@@Mario_DiSanto I was reading between the lines

[@AldeanLeger]

@@Mario_DiSanto I'll try to dig up my manual and report back

[@AldeanLeger]

From Fishman: The Loudbox Artist and Loudbox Performer use a 24v high current phantom power supply standard that allows users to operate condenser microphones and other devices requiring phantom power without issue. In many cases, the high current standard provides increased power and stability than 48v sources.

[@AldeanLeger]

It looks like most modern condenser mics will operate in a range of 9-52V

[@Jacob.sahagun]

I need some more gay directional mics in my arsenal

[@Mario_DiSanto]

I keep a few in my arse. Ba Dum Tis.
