Neumann MT-48 Interface for Voice Over

[@MarkVO]

It sounds exceptional. Like an extra dimension was added to the sound. Really clear.

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Thanks Mark! I feel like a veil was lifted off my sound.

[@gainandpain]

Looks cool ! Waiting for comparison between your old setup .

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

That will be coming for sure.

[@markhicks5569]

Mark thank you. Just got mine. Playing with it to do simple broadcast and use it for things like zoom calls! It is so simple to use and drives my bcm104 flawlessly. I also noticed the transparency…have to listen very closely to hear difference. But it works flawless. It does get warm but agree only hear fan at start up. No touch screen lag. Please do some videos where you set it up and show how to get the best out of its compression, gate, limiter and eq. Oh and I should note I traded in my Apollo twin x for this beauty and could not be happier for the future of where this will take us.

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

You’re very welcome! I can probably swing that at some point soon. Enjoy!!

[@John-tm2hw]

...and you've discovered just how darned good the Anubis/MT 48 is. It's a very serious and flexible tool. Make sure that you save all your presets..also bus compression? Parallel compression? Bus EQ?! It's all in there. Don't forget the fact that you can record 2 tracks from the MT48, one with FX and one without. I'm a fan, have owned an Anubis for some time now and I just wouldn't part with it - unless it was for an MT48 because, frankly, there isn't anything better than this device, for this price. It packs a hell of a lot into a small package for not a lot of money (yes it's expensive but it *actually delivers the goods*)

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Right? Yeah being able to track both pre and post effects is huge. Wow. So simple, yet so powerful and the routing is insanely comprehensive. So much still to learn. Loving it.

[@jonlieberman997]

congratulations on your setup. I am out on the road but my MT 48 is waiting for me at home. I also have a U89 and it is one of my favorites. What sort of shock mount are you using on the U89? My goal with this setup is to record acoustic guitar and vocals while on the road.

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

It’s a great combo. A match made in heaven. The shock mount is a Rycote Invision. Great versatile mount.

[@evrimusic]

Hey Mark, thanks for the very informative and entertaining reviews! Can you recommend your prefered clone vintage U47/67 microphone around $600 US give or take? My main microphone is an AKG414 eb with c12 brass capsule, which I love and use for most applications, however, I would like to compliment that with another mic. My thoughts so far are hovering around JZ47/67 (which do you prefer to complement the 414eb) and 3u audio gz251fet. Would love to hear your thoughts.🙏

Sounds fantastic, well done!

[@zeitakulobusta]

Lobster says 2 claws up! Would be great to compare dialing the exact same settings in to your UA box in just the vanilla plugs.

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Thanks for the idea! I should.

[@Tav_cr]

It sounds amazing. UAD has been the King of desktop interfaces for a long long time. I'd bet they are working an answer to this device right now or may I say I hope so. Thanks God for Competence. Everybody is saying the old king is dead, long life to the new king.

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

UAD’s mediocre conversion has always just been accepted as a trade off because its DSP allowed it to do what nobody else could do, but now that native plugs have caught up, UAD is being exposed as a company seemingly without a roadmap. I have to believe they are working on something but I don’t have confidence right now that it will be next level worthy if and when it happens. Neumann has made it clear they are building an entire pro-level studio ecosystem.

[@Tav_cr]

@The Microphone Assassin It would be great if you could do a comp between the MT48 and your Apollo. No one has done that yet (at least I can't find it) and I think many people is expecting it.

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

I will. It may not happen right away but it’ll happen.

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

@@Tav_cr Just as a super quick test between them using the u89, I posted this over at the discord server. The difference is much bigger than I expected. discord.com/channels/1074099600211841086/1098619604932231272/1117916239533199490

[@Truongchihai83]

may I ask, which video application you use to keep the audio quality when you upload onto KZbin, your audio quality is so great, thanks

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Thank you! I record my audio into my DAW, Twisted Wave, the same way I record audio for work. Then I lay that wav file into iMovie alongside the video.

[@djb12DeepAcidHouseExperience]

Thanks Mark, I just got mine and hooked it up yesterday. I was about to try to get the DSP configured today and was wondering about how to set that up , so this video came out at the perfect time. What I do is a bit different than you. I do dj mix podcasts and I do voiceovers saying the track information artist, title, label etc. Thanks again! 😊

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Brian, you’re going to love it. The on board EQ and dynamics are killer. It’ll be perfect for what you do.

[@djb12DeepAcidHouseExperience]

@@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff awesome! I can’t wait to dig in after work today! I appreciate the reply and the videos you do! You and the booth junkie are the best channels on KZbin!

[@djb12DeepAcidHouseExperience]

@@MarkYoshimotoNemcoffI’m getting set up now. Do you use the -10db pad and the rolloff on your actual mics? What settings are you using on your gate and limiter?

[@DailyRiot]

Hey Mark, have you tried any of the Audient interfaces?

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

I have an Evo4 for zoom calls.

[@PepPayo]

🔥 Wow Mark, this is a game changer! It sounds really amazing! My GAS is a bit lucky with the fact that Neumann hasn't included de-esser (YET). I would love to own one in the future and do a vs against my Rodecaster Pro II! Thanks again for sharing such great content! Greetings from Barcelona and have a nice day! 🖖

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Thanks Pep! Greetings from L.A.! I probably should have included a G.A.S. warning at the beginning of the video. I’m subscribed, so I’ll for sure be watching! :)

[@PepPayo]

@@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff Thanks to you Mark! It is a privilege to be able to enjoy the valuable content you share! The video is perfect like that! I hope I can incorporate it into the setup sooner rather than later! ;)

It is a privilege. So remember to eat your vegetables or no videos for you.

[@PepPayo]

@@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff Yes dad, 5 times a day! 🍕🍔🍟🌭🍿 Ooooouch, I think that I failed with the emojis xD

[@Jayrawk]

I recently bought the Neve 88m which I absolutely love. The pre's and DI sounds excellent, and both run the the Marinair transformers. Sounds excellent with my Blue Blueberry, SM7 and Neumann TLM 67. It's also easy to use external pre's with the Neve 88m due to the inserts in the back. I am currently running the Neumann TLM 67 into a Neve 1073 into the return of the Neve 88m. Glorious sound, but almost to much color. I'm thinking the Neumann MT 48 may be the perfect match for the Neumann TLM 67 adding just the right amount of light color with its clean-ish hifi sounding pre's. I'd love to see a video of the TLM 67 direct into the MT 48. I think this may be a perfect pairing with color, clarity and hifi.

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

As it just so happens, the next video coming is the TLM-67 direct into the MT48. ;)

[@Jayrawk]

@@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff Looking forward to it.

[@BillBene67]

Sounds amazing Mark. Do you feel like this will be your go to interface moving forward? Apollo sitting idle? Yep, that would be great if they had a deesser too.

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Yes, there is no doubt this is going to be my rig going forward. I can't see moving backward to the Apollo again. I have to really consider how Apollo is going to fit in going forward, if at all. Luckily, it's easy to de-ess on the back end, but I'm holding out hope they release the De-esser the Merging Anubis has at some point.

[@mphatic]

@@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff Yeah they have said they will be releasing it on their web site - with a few other choice things...Yeah you guessed it - I got one 2 days ago..falling in love with sound allover again..finally something that can deliver...

[@LeBeautiful]

PERFECTION

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Right? So goooood.

[@flotzmtv]

Clear as clean glass, man. Wow. Hey, how did you de-ess?

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Actually, no de-essing. It’s just getting the top end of the 89 dialed in and me also working on physically restricting my sibilance during delivery.

[@flotzmtv]

@@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff Oh. Holy shit. Wish I knew how to do that. Haha

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

@@flotzmtv Still working on the technique and the easiest way to do it.

[@flotzmtv]

@@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff ​​⁠ No joke, I would buy this today, because it kills that weird blanket of Console, replaces the need for an external preamp, and it’s just killer, period, but the lack of a de-esser is all that keeps me from buying. I guess I could de-ess in post. I have RX, and I could also use the Precision afterward. I can’t believe how good this sounds. Like noticeably better, by lengths. I’m glad you featured this.

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

@@flotzmtv I've been de-essing in post for commercials and it's been great so it's a fast and efficient workaround. But yeah, the difference between this and my old sound is insane. The real secret is that this doesn't sound like most device preamps. It's on a whole different level.

[@JeffKellyMedia]

Mark are you still using MT-48? Playing with idea getting one. Still on Apollo. Did Neumann put in De-easer? Hope you fire up the channel next year again at least for a once in awhile update if nothing else. If MT48 put in some noise reduction in real time I’ll buy one right this minute.

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Hi Jeff. Yes, still using the MT-48 every day. Apollo never gets used anymore. No Neumann de-esser yet but I’m hoping they’ll make it available after NAMM in January. You never know, maybe there could be a new video or something in 2024. Not ruling out anything.

[@JeffKellyMedia]

@@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff good to know. I’m not heavily invested in UA yet. So I may follow your lead with the MT-48. It’s only money. Haha Happy Holidays

[@crazyKurious]

Now, imagine hearing SV33 an high definition mic via this

@@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff I hear they are made to order, I use ProAudioLA for buying stuff. Where did you get these from ?

[@Ahmedbensalah1433]

What does the reverb sound like? how much is it compared to Studio Pro quality? Do you think I can record reverb direct to track? or it's just for monitoring and no way to record it?

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

I never use reverb, so I'm not the one to ask, but yes, you can print reverb if you so choose.

Will users be able to share SNAP presets with other users? Also did yours include any Snap presets or were they all blank?

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

So, it comes with no snapshots loaded, but it appears that in the web browser interface, not the desktop app, you can download and upload snapshots, so it would seem like you could share Snap presets! I'm glad you asked.

It's in the dynamics window. When you activate it, it opens a prompt to ask what the sidechain input will be.

Excuse me, what? "You can't hear when I take out a compressor" and "not drastic"??? This is night and day difference, all the bass in the voice goes away completely, and presence of the voice go bye-bye without compressor.
