thanks man!

[@KowProdMedia]

Track was cool, sort of a Deftones/30 Seconds To Mars vibe

[@RecordingStudioLoser]

That’s high praise

[@FireMoon42]

I paid 60 bucks for my first M88 used, back in the gunmetal blue barrel era. They're over 60 years old as a design. I also have a pair of MC930 SCs which are my go-to acoustic guitars mics.

[@RecordingStudioLoser]

The older ones look cooler matte black isn’t bad tho. $60…. Wow

[@schance1666]

Wow you got some pipes, man! Great melody, too. Loved that M160 on acoustic, lots of body and character.

[@RecordingStudioLoser]

Thanks 💪. Its so good on acoustics

[@jeffbridges6110]

really dug this video. Nice mics and cool song!

[@ultratone]

Heck yeah!!! More personal projects please. I watch a lot of your videos but this one was special, performance and mic.

[@michaelfrancis1]

🔊❤️ Cheers from Texas!! I knew you had it in you! And wow!! very amazing track! THAT is a proper mic demo Outstanding! 🤟😺🤟 Listening more. Good timing for my family. No storm can shake us! #JusticeForMica

[@billyhughes9776]

Bro -- great pipes! Cool tune. These two mics get used all the time in my little studio, love em. I have a pair of M160s -- on guitar cabs with a 57 (or something similar) and interestingly enough I like to pair it with an M88 as well. I've used the 160s as OH's with really good results, acoustic and cello. The M88 as a kick in or out (love it with the 91a as well) guit cabs like I said, and on the right vocal.

[@RecordingStudioLoser]

Yeah I need another 160. Really want to try it in a pair

[@edmc2]

Finally I have seen someone on KZbin use m88 on kick 😎✌️

[@RecordingStudioLoser]

It’s that rare? It’s magic on kick!

[@edmc2]

@@RecordingStudioLoser is weird… I only related the m88 as a kick mic back in the 90s (I did a fair bit of live touring bands in Australia) most used d112 or beta 52, but the m88 got THE best results (imo)

[@RecordingStudioLoser]

Agreed.

[@therockhour1386]

the dual micing on the guitar is actually nicer than what I anticipated. the mics are different enough to where you can almost pick them out when not soloed. The 160 being back a little doesnt seem to get absorbed by the other mic. Ill mix your next one! For someone who has done decades of self production work.... I feel this pain because youre almost always self producing!

[@satch72]

That opening track. Whoa 🤯

[@johnnyresistance]

great song and great video. love my m160's and m88. haven't tried the m160 on bass yet but love pairing the m160 and m88 on gtr.

[@nana-ld4cr]

Cool song, brother! Thank you for the demo

[@RecordingStudioLoser]

No…. Thank you

[@chrisnorris9607]

That kick drum sounds MASSIVE. Also the M 88 is definitely underrated as a mic on guitar cabs, it's been my go-to for a few years now.

[@xradical89x]

love the song!

[@jimbotski]

Stellar!

[@frankiepedano3518]

THANK YOU! Not enough videos on the M160! Now I'm gonna grab the M88 ;)

[@RecordingStudioLoser]

[@sickmessiah]

Dude. You got pipes. Nice.

[@Steakhuis]

Those mics are new to me. Never really looked into Beyer mics before (I know, massive failing on my part), but they sound incredible. Tha song is great too, something id put on a playlist for when I’m out and about.

[@kerryallen-ql4ng]

I am f’ing perplexed this is the first time you’ve sung on this channel (that I’ve seen) when your vocals absolutely rip.

[@RecordingStudioLoser]

Oh they are out there.

[@bradzillarocks]

I've heard the M160 before and thought it was ok but not great, but hadn't heard the M88 until now and it's going on my wishlist. Sounded so good on the guitar cab.

[@TonyMacaroni69_]

PLEEASEE release this song. it slaps soooo hard man

[@RecordingStudioLoser]

What would my band name be

[@WalkinonSunshyne]

Killer song. Great review. But yeah if you want to drop more killer tracks like that. Please, please do.

[@codycreepcore]

I've also never used a beyerdynamic, but I've been super curious to after every shootout or example I hear.

[@kniferideaudio5145]

M88 is my desert Island mic. Love it on guitar, bass, kick, snare, toms, even a violin if you have a nice preamp. I have 3 and would buy more.

[@Riverparkroad]

THIS WAS SOO GOOD!!!!! Please tell me you got a band/ releasing an album!?!?

[@RecordingStudioLoser]

I don’t have a band. This was just for the funzies. But I mean if there’s enough interest. I couldn’t say no… right?

[@TheBassMountain]

@riverparkroad this is the kind of energy I want to see! Let’s hear that whole album!

[@BrendanMakesMusic]

@@RecordingStudioLoser You keep knocking them out for fun, and I'll be listening for fun, for sure. An album of tunes like that would be on repeat over here.

[@monarch_music]

You may or may not know this, but Beyerdynamic recommends using the M88 with a pop filter (they make one for it) if you use it with kick drum. There are a bunch of Gearspace forum posts about dudes blowing up the diaphragm in the M88 whilst using it as a kick mic. Anyways -- thanks for sticking your art out there -- I know that takes some courage. Cheers!

[@GuillaumeLortie]

Dude!!! That track is crazy good! 👍🏻 As much as the @BeyerDynamic mics ❤ You need to try the M160 dead center on a Greenback or V30. I know, I know, give it a try

[@NextKindMusic]

HELL YEAH !!!🤘🤘🤘 Its 9am and I wanna break some shit

[@RecordingStudioLoser]

*Recording Studio Loser does not condone breaking shit. Except at 9am

[@palsheldon6520]

Sounds great. I've been using an 88 on Rock Kick for a while.. hearing it hear I realize why ik rocks..

[@RecordingStudioLoser]

I really like it on kick

[@GarethGras]

wow great pipes dude! where have you been hiding those?

[@Zeinzu2]

BRO! If thats the first thing you've done in a while.................umm maybe keep the momentum. That song is soo good!

[@RecordingStudioLoser]

I did not expect this kind of response. I need to do this more often

[@lelandbobpalmer]

GREAT MICS! Been using my pair of m160 for over a decade. Don't forget the m201 to complete the "Beyerdynamic drum package" - m160 on oh, m88 on kick, m201 on snare :) m201 can also do great things on many sources - wonderful for some voices. m160, I really like on some female vocals also. Another plus is (since I like to record in "odd places and in the field" - these mics do not pick up a lot of the surroundings. Thanks for the video, dude!!

[@RecordingStudioLoser]

I need to get a 201

[@nancybeckett890]

Yes, Beyer M160's are the best mics for overheads. (Runner-up is Coles 4038's.) The M160 is also my favorite mic for guitar cabs, and always was, long before Royer made every recording engineer aware of the how good ribbon mics work on guitar cabs. The M160 is a superb all-around mic (excels on violins and horns). The Beyer M88 is another awesome mic, and it did work well for the vocal style on the recording you presented. However, it doesn't have the articulation or depth of a great tube mic and would not be my choice for vocals on 'beautiful' or melodic music. Jeremy, although I'm not a fan of the kind of headbanger music you presented here, still I want to compliment you on your magnificent performances and your mix. Great job! I'd love to hear more from you! Sadly, I could not distinguish one single word of the lyrics, so the song could be about the Irish potato blight or the price of pistachios in Venezuela for all I know. Even the title of the song did not make itself known. But considering your level of professionalism, I gather in that genre of music it is detrimental for the lyrics to be heard and understood?

[@AlexValliMusic]

Track is fuckin sick bro!🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥

[@turkdwl]

you really need to check out the M201 next! it feels like an improved 57 on snare. if you're already digging beyerdynamic mics, check that one out too.

[@TheNewSuitors]

Wow! Great song. Great performance. I'll tolerate that shit any day.

[@RecordingStudioLoser]

😂😂

[@andygreen5565]

Nice.

[@MariJu1ce]

M88 and m160s sound great on guitarcabs! Couldnt think of anything else i like them on though.

[@RecordingStudioLoser]

What did you think of the bass cab kick drum or vox

[@philippgrunert8776]

maybe try the M201; woudl assume you'd like it. It is a dynamic and to me is somewhere between SM57 and the 160. I even use it for vocals. But beware I only am a hobbyist.

[@rocketsauce5067]

Have you tried the Lewitt Rex640 dual element Condenser/ Dynamic. It literally is two mics in one with a splitter cable labeled condenser and dynamic. It's a very versatile Mic.

[@RecordingStudioLoser]

I haven’t. That sounds right up my alley tho.
