Oktava MK-012 Pair TEST

[@GeorgeGain6]

Sorry for the “wind whips” btw. My hands are too close to the mics 😭

[@crimpdaddy3559]

I came here for the mic test, stayed for the music. Real nice man 👍 Good vibe. Subscribed

6:10 Listen with headphones. That stereo effect is crazy! :o --- Pretty nice playing! Like it very much!

[@polishbroadcast]

Super impressive playing. Thanks for sharing.

[@GeorgeGain6]

Thank you!

[@inUR2teeth]

Impressive test, display & performance... I've been blown away by the Koshi and the Cajon with brushes... I could feel the brushes moving closer to the mics in my ears. Was curious about those MK 012 as I was searching a dealer for buying a MK 319.... Now, thanks to or because of you ;) I'm considering to get myself those 012 instead... They seems so versatile.. Any way, Thank You.

What handpan is this and how many notes does it have? I really like the sound of this one!

[@GeorgeGain6]

It was an Overtone Handpan from Chekhov city near Moscow. 11 notes: (D) A Bb C D E F G A c d

[@quigley4440]

Perfect - the Koshi really demo'd these mics - no issues. Really considering a pair.

[@soldermecold7456]

Are these using the omni or mic cardioid pattern capsule? Just trying to understand the placement/arrangement. I understand cardioid is usually both at 90 degrees to each other with the capsul on the same vertical axis.

[@xkliber]

Excellent test and playing. 😊👍

[@GeorgeGain6]

Thanks! Hope it is useful in some ways 👍

[@bbjib]

I love both: your music and this mics.

[@jussivalter]

This is the Oktava sound. Not so clean and crisp high.end (clinic clean), but what a beatifull own characteristic sound!!! WARM! I'm allways loved oktavas..

[@monkeyxx]

what a great test

[@stas6689]

Master of sounds:)

[@chrisroberts8972]

Completely mesmerising. Thanks for sharing.

[@szozosebmontagne]

seems good. What about your recording chain: what capsules, recorder at what gain level, post treatment, ... ? I've got a "Koshi", and it does not have this huge bass tone. Have do you obtain this sound, proximity effect?

[@ylevane]

You are just a master! Thanks!

[@dentReviews]

you sound great . I want to do a piano collaboration. ha. the mics sounds good, but is the hiss from the mics?

[@sanderhandpan]

is the Kobyz the same instrument the 'Mongolian throat singer' uses?

[@GeorgeGain6]

I guess yes. It can be named differently depending on size but it is very similar.

[@salaojaliitto1]

Awesome playing!

[@dentReviews]

would you consider recording the flute at 6:41 on a piano song of mine? simple song but I don't have such a flute. :)

[@evallesg]

Hi, great playing and awsome test, thanks. I only have one question for you: what kind of shockmount did you use for the test? Thanks in advance

[@abslenchar2347]

dude you got some skill

[@gdefombelle]

Mais c'est génial cette musique

[@nherbolario91]

This is awesome!

[@wan-handpanmusic]

is it oktava MSP2 with cardioid or super cardioid? Thanks

[@GeorgeGain6]

WAN i believe its basic cardioid capsules

[@kanatatygayev5052]

Thanks for this test. Do you connect your recorder to the dslr??

[@skakdosmer]

I think not. The hand claps were clearly for synchronizing sound and video later.

[@GeorgeGain6]

Kanat Atygayev going into tascam recorder and then synchronized yes

[@crimpdaddy3559]

Lau Bjerno nice, I was thinking the same thing.

[@ValorousFogey]

Great job, man!

[@sigisfoto]

What capsules you used? Is it modified or stock Oktavas?

[@GeorgeGain6]

Sigitas Kondratas cardioid basic capsules

[@WarerBrow]

Dear George, track on 02:47 is your own composition? I'm so curious about hearing it again...

[@GeorgeGain6]

Hi! It is just some random playing here. Kurd scale on handpan is my favourite and it is easy to make cool melodies on the fly.

[@WarerBrow]

@@GeorgeGain6 thanks for answering, i'm flying away to this song for many months :)

[@evangangstad5537]

Also, what are playing with your left foot with thy cajon?

[@GeorgeGain6]

Don't remember how they are called =) A bunch of seeds of some african tree i believe.

[@evangangstad5537]

That's pretty neat. I really love this video by the way. (also, I meant to say "the" not "thy". I'm not one of those kids who thinks they sound cool using archaic language)

[@addthisto]

with or without -10 pad?

[@GeorgeGain6]

i think it was with them.

[@AlexanderPovyshev]

Oktava cool!

[@evangangstad5537]

Which RAV drum is this?

[@GeorgeGain6]

This is an Integral scale. 1.5 mm thick steel.

[@kaybhee6]

dunno... akg 220 420 preferred

[@aknekd]

[@voytsmis]

Bells - KOSHI.

[@GeorgeGain6]

Thanks!! =)
