I sold my Sony c800 for a ga8000 😮!!! (Golden age ga8000 test)

[@LamVinhKhangMusic]

just bought the GA8000 love it man. Its sound amazing.

[@Lanatemusic]

Good choice!

[@omegacrosby]

That sounds fye fr🔥🔥🔥 Golden Age took they time on that product 🔥🤙

[@Lanatemusic]

So far so good I’m loving it. Very open and clean sound.

[@zackburnam7032]

It's all about the mix really, mics that start at $3k and up all sound good. I have a Manley ref c and Sony c800g and they both sound similar once I start mixing then I really can't hear the different when I get the artist songs mastered.

[@rtdrec]

That sounds good! I put the original Sony tube and capsule in the GA8000, as well as a few other original Sony parts, and it sounds even better now! The signal sounds wider and smoother, with more 3d depth.

[@lanateharris5441]

Where did you find the parts

How to find the capsule?

[@benjamindiaz1645]

What was the chain? 🔥 did you boost the high end even more or just eq the lows?

[@Lanatemusic]

Ga 8000 through a Tubetech channel strip. into Apollo x6. I added lows and some top end.

Do you think it sounds better than the c800? What are the sound differences?

[@Lanatemusic]

I like it better , it sounds more like a finished record. My Sony did have better mid lows and a nice way of making takes sound better than you think. Overall for the cost the GA is hard to beat. Im keeping it.

@@Lanatemusic What do you think about the u 87 in general compared to this mic?

[@Karterstudio]

@@isaiahhudson5470 I also have a ga 8000 and from my perspective it's hard to compare these microphones, both are very good, neumann can be shaped more, ga and sony are "ready"

[@JaeBTundra1]

​@@isaiahhudson54702 different mics my man. U87ai is a beast of a solid state mic with a transformer and the Sony is a beast of a tube mic that's known to be hifi modern bright sound that cuts thru a mix.

How does the ga compare to the sony

[@lanateharris5441]

I have a few videos on my page you can compare the quality. I did “beautiful lies with the Sony same preamp and interface that I have now as well

[@ripdocholiday9650]

Sound fire

[@WIIMTheMusician]

Sounds so close to that Sony quality!! Couldn’t u just saturate some mids / lows to get it even closer to that $10,000 sound?

[@lanateharris5441]

That’s excactly what I did.. still missing a little but I’m beyond satisfied coming from a Sony to this mic. It’s better than any other mic I’ll get compared to the Sony in this price range

[@markmason4536]

🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏿

[@ripdocholiday9650]

What u think so far any dislikes yet and what do u think about the similarities

[@Lanatemusic]

Hard to compare being that I had a vintage c800 and not the G. The ga has a lot of the sound I did like about the G over my c800 which was the top end clarity. Sony has a clearer mid and mid lows. I’ve actually enjoyed creating on the GA just much as my Sony if not almost more. It has the perfect look and sound to make you wanna record. It’s about 85 percent of the way there sound wise to a real Sony. It’s a keeper.

[@tecno8335]

I told you it was better.

[@Lanatemusic]

I like it for the way I mix better but Sony is still the better mic. Better mids smoother top end but for the price GA nailed it about 80 percent there,

[@tecno8335]

Sony too bright. This is just bright enough. But you sound like a good engineer, so it really doesn't matter, honestly lol.

[@realtalkroscoeg]

@@Lanatemusic I think it sounds better then the Sony
