You know things get serious when you put a paper towel on your face.

What preamp used for tlm 49

[@kaplanhirschmannmusic893]

@@AditMMofficial We used the internal preamps of our RME Fireface UFX on all microphones.

This was fun. Having done my own shootout video like this, I found Mic Mod EFX and IK Mic Room were fantastic options if you have a decent source mic.

Gut gemacht.Danke für ihren video!!

Mazal Tov on these gorgeous and haunting vocals and composition. Even my 16 yr old daughter was drawn in and curious. May I ask what mics and technique were used to record the piano? The piano sound is exquisite as well! Bravo

[@kaplanhirschmannmusic893]

Thank you for you kind words! The piano sound in this shootout is the combination of two Kontakt-Libraries from Native Instruments. It's the "Grandeur" combined with the "Una Corda". The "Una Corda" adds some mechanical noise and overtones to the very clean sounding "Grandeur".

[@dididisaster7615]

loved this. More please. So honest and fun and exciting. Thank you. I am a c414 XLS fan as well

[@kaplanhirschmannmusic893]

Thank you! We have already other videos in the pipeline ....

I think overall my favorite was the 414xls. Very pure, intimate, & natural. That TLM49 is extremely seductive while being fairly natural. I would’ve liked a Shure KSM44 or 37 thrown in the mix along with maybe a TLM170 or 193.

The slate Mic is only featured first 1 time. The AKG is featured first 4 times. (Referring to First Test) The beginning of the Vocal is mellow, and not exciting the reverb or compression etc. as much as latter in the track.. SOOO, the first Mic always leaves off a better impression - louder is better ect! A better test would be a short sample 4 words of the vocal looped with strong continents and S's Test 2: 2 measures of overhead drum cymbals, hard splashing, and A/ B /A/B every Mic against each other, ... 😂

Amazing voice!

[@kaplanhirschmannmusic893]

Thank you!

[@Godzillah]

I think I ahould record with all mics in the future and then choose my favorite i stead of just deciding which mics to use.

[@lmgindamix6996]

I think the 414 was the best because it entered all the same finals

[@RenanC]

Excellent video.

[@kaplanhirschmannmusic893]

Thank you!

[@kaplanhirschmannmusic893]

Do you have a favourite microphone or microphone emulation in this video?

@@kaplanhirschmannmusic893 While i listened to the video on an "inappropriate" home speaker, i found the TLM 49 to be smoother. About the ML1. I have one, which I'm trying tl sell. The first unit i had suddenly started producing a ocean-like humble noise, making it unusable. The second unit sounded fine, but there were moments where the noise would "come up" and disappear. I found it unreliable. In comparison to a TLM 103 and an AT4040, i found it to be very sibilant for my voice, even more than the TLM 103 Keep up the good work!

[@kaplanhirschmannmusic893]

I‘ve heard from colleagues that there can be quality issues with Slate gear. However we are very happy with our ML1 - it works like a charm. I really like how it can sound with some of the emulations. The „pure“ sound of this mic on the other hand isn‘t something to write home about ;-).

[@kevinrocha7085]

What monitors are being used?

[@Yimballa]

beautiful Voice…

[@LeagueofStickmansHD]

Merci. Genau was ich gesucht habe

[@kaplanhirschmannmusic893]
