Recording a full band with a $149 mic (LCT 240 Pro) - Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro

[@Producelikeapro]

I'd love to know what affordable mic you’ve been most impressed with! Leave a comment below and tell us the mic, and WHY you're so impressed with it!

[@int3533]

The SE Electronics X1R Ribbon mic is nice and very affordable.

[@TobyEllis]

The SM58 is normally in the top 3 of my vocal shootouts with much much more expensive mics! I also have a pair of AT 3035s I got used for $100 each that sound amazing. I think AT mics are very underrated!

[@Producelikeapro]

Elroi The Overseer thanks for sharing!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Toby Ellis great advice my friend!

[@Alex_Florin_Prod]

Oh Damn...i'm using an Neewer 800 ,is 20$ on Amazon. I think a 150$ one is great! By the way, i'm happy with my cheap mic...is a cardioid one..and records very well for that price. Oh! And i love all what you are doing...all your work for us! Keep going! (Sorry for my english)

[@catface101]

5:18 Introducing... Warren and The Huarts!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Catface haha yes indeed!

[@LEWITT-audio]

What a great band! Amazing demo! Thank you, Warren Huart! We love the video! The best of luck to everyone!

[@Producelikeapro]

LEWITT hahaha thanks ever so much my friends!!

[@cuttingedge1987]

Just order mine today :)

[@ServingMyJesus]

Five years down the line, Lewitt have reduced the price from £109 to £89. I am so tempted to purchase this, That is why I had to revisit your review of this mic.

[@Producelikeapro]

Wow! Amazing!

[@Racreatives]

Can we all acknowledge how talented Warren Huart is !

[@Producelikeapro]

Wow! Thanks ever so much

[@blakecurtis7809]

Sterling Audio ST 155. Shockmount is built like a tank, switchable attenuation pad and high pass filter on mic. Awesome for vocals and super impressed when used for metal guitar. Under $200 at G.C. stores. Plus a case and extra shockmount rings.

[@curtisburns]

The Needle And The Damage Done sounded great.

[@chrispinelli]

Great demonstration, it's pretty awesome that that one mic position on the drums sounds so good. No matter the mic talent wins out at the end of the day.

[@Kevin-vq6rv]

I'm impressed by the LCT 240 pro mic. It's truly remarkable how affordable and high-quality microphones are these days. The cheapest mic I have is the t.bone RB 500 Ribbon mic with a price tag of 98€. I love this mic because of the typical ribbon sound and the price of course. I always use two of these on acoustic guitar in an MS configuration.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Kevin that’s wonderful my friend! Thanks for sharing your insight with us!!

[@kalidusamarawickrama8015]

Does the t.bone good for vocals and also to record a acoustic guitar ?

[@minkdeville123]

Brilliant. Been looking at this mic for days and finally found the review that tells me all I need to know. So many reviewers aren't able, or too shy, to play the staple instruments. You bloomin' well can. Spot on and definitely sealed the deal for me. (Hmm, shock mount?)

[@Typepov]

most impressed with the AT2035. For a slight price increase over the 2020 you get a highpass rolloff. Ive used it on voice, percussion, room, melodic percussion like marimba/vibe its very versatile for the price. All of my ensembles I work with have stereo pairs on each marimba. They are tried and true.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Zachary Snyder thanks ever so much my friend! I really appreciate your experiences!

[@Typepov]

Ray Wellman at2020 is a great mic for sure! Value per dollar for both of these mics is fantastic.

[@Typepov]

Ray Wellman unfortunately I do not have experience with many AT mics further up the stack

[@Typepov]

Ray Wellman I can see that. The roll off feature is worth the price for my application, especially with the Marimbas. Most of it is live application not recording on my end

[@Producelikeapro]

Ray Wellman thanks for sharing your insight!

[@hogblockula9335]

I have a pair of Rode NT1000's and despite being a little bright they absolutely kill it on everything you can use a LDC on

[@LGKDude]

I am most impressed with another $149 mic, the Slate ML-2. Great sounding mic on its own for the price, but with this modeling technology takes it to another level and makes it extremely versatile!

[@Producelikeapro]

Jon Thanks for sharing your experience!!

[@georgekay372]

My favourite affordable condenser is the Studio Projects B3. You can change the polar pattern, it’s got a pad and high pass and all the fancy stuff. It’s not my first choice for acoustic guitars, but it sounds pretty good on vocals and even snare! I’ve used it in M/S configuration with an NT1 for acoustic before as well and that also sounds pretty good, especially if you do the opposite of what everyone tells you (instead of trying to get the capsules as close together as you can, give it some space. Maybe even offset it. There are no rules.)

[@lutti7238]

I have used the Behringer B1 for years, and still do from time to time. It's a trusty working horse and costs around 100€ (EDIT: at least I paid that years ago. Just looked it up: 69€ by now 😲)

[@Producelikeapro]

Ludger Paas that’s great to hear my friend! Thanks for sharing your experience! I agree, it’s all about just getting started making music with whatever gear you have!

[@ontogeny6474]

What's not to love. The mic -your guitar -your voice??? All wonderful. But you already had me with Working Class Hero.

[@mcsputz4494]

The timing of this couldn't have been better, as I'm looking into buying my first mic and audio interface. Thanks for the demo!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Mc Sputz you’re very welcome! I’m so glad to be able to help my friend!

[@rikdrums7]

Just a drummer that plays around with some home and live recording of my and my friends bands...Lucky enough to have a variety of different albeit relatively inexpensive mics....I truly believe everything has it's place....sometimes the MXL 990 is nice....I like the Sterling ST55 but you really have to crank the gain. I also have a Bluebird SL which is super warm and great on classic rock guitar and vocals. I will say that from this video...I'd really like to check out the 240....I have a friend that needs to do some stuff exactly the way you did here and I think it would be great.

[@cheskog]

Love it... Great sound, great performance... Thanks Warren. This mic, compared to the NT-1A that I have always used I believe is much more versatile... Maybe I give it a try ... Cheers.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Francisco G that’s great to hear my friend!

[@BYD_LRT]

I believe Takstar helps design and manufacture Lewitt's microphones.

[@nivenvojkovic9201]

My favourite cheap mic for recording is the Sennheiser e840. I think it’s discontinued now and superseded by the e845. It’s a dynamic vocal mic, but one day, I used two of them in an x-y configuration, as overheads, on a Gretch kit and wow! I didn’t need any more mics. Flat Eq, through an old O2R for my pre amp, and a touch of compression through a plug-in, on the way in, and it sounds great. Later, I did add other mics, but my the point I’d like to make is how good they sound on their own. So I tried it on a bass cab and guitar cab, and they produced a lot of warmth. Chuck a pop filter in front and it does male and female vocals nicely as well. Oh, head and bell of a Djembe, great sound. Love the channel, cheers from 🇦🇺

[@espalhaarte6875]

Pulled the trigger on this mic as my 1st. I´ll be recording fingerstyle guitar and really hope it serves me well ... i was thinking between Rode M5 - LCT 240 - LCT 040, i'm not an expert at all but they sounded great and at a unbelievable price range, i went for the LCT 240 because it will be easier to use since im recording my own stuff. The stereo recording is a compelling idea but maybe a little to much for someone like me as a beginner and since my recording room and experience is not the best would introduce me to a lot of difficulties and problems aswell. Got to say that your videos on this mic were instrumental to make the choice, and will be very useful to mix so I´d like to thank you for taking the time and effort to share your knowledge worldwide helping people with their passions.

[@DLR1976]

I recently got the Rode NT1 & Ai 1 bundle and works great ! And few months ago also got a great deals on Audix drum kits both D and F series ;)

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi David Ramos great! Thanks for sharing!

[@Fenrir_Beernaert]

I own a 640 lct TS myself but the 440 pure has blown me away... almost the same quality and sound, just without the bells and whistles, also not to forget the DCT 550 usb mic, also with dual option (but those come around 500$ I believe). I have to say I had a hard time noticing much difference between the 240 pro and the 440 pure, but that might just be my untrained ear... it does indeed sound fantastic! and I'm doubting not to buy it myself (or hopefully win it) to put it against my 640 ts and see how it fairs on vocals (that's my main occupation). I think the "cheapest" mic I have is the one that came with the scarlett studio pack (second gen), with headphones and a small diafram condencer mic, that package, including the interface was around 200$, incredible! I even recorded vocals for pro bands with it and nobody noticed anything wrong with the quality!

[@Roadking26]

I just purchased one of these to go with my SM58, and I have to say my Audio Technica AT2035 has been an outstanding mic. I also have a Carvin AT67 it is a great mice for recording guitar. It was my fist mic, but now I have a choice of some great mics

[@beaumaloe]

The lighting and camera for the main (straight to camera) portion of this video has never looked better. Whatever lighting setup was used makes it look very professional. Great work all around, but you guys have upped your game on the production and it is being noticed!

[@Producelikeapro]

Kenny Beaumont aw shucks thanks ever so much my friend!!

[@Beatledave7]

My latest, and affordable...only just!.. acquisition is a Rode NTK Tube Condenser Microphone. I had the NT1 ...the original one and continue to be impressed with it, but wanted a tube condenser. I preferred it to the later K2 Tube mic, it really has a nice high end while sounding round & full, it’s very clear which is what I like! p.s loved your Crossroads jam! 👍

[@nlmal4]

I have buy this mic a week ago and was impressed with the sound quality. 👌🏾👍🏾✌🏾🙏🏾

[@mskman83]

I just got one and I'm excited to use it on acoustic and electric guitar.

[@CliffMacdonald]

Yet another quality video packed with useful information - thanks so much for what you do Warren and PLAP

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Cliff Macdonald thank YOU! Wow! That comment means so much to me my friend!!

[@urltom]

A really good sounding microphone, and very versatile, as demonstrated here! Thank you Warren for providing an informative and enjoyable performance, and thanks to Lewitt for providing one for a lucky musician. The single distance mic, singer with guitar reminds me that distance provides air, and air is a good "compressor", taming spiky transients and blending harmonics in a pleasing way. I got a "coffee house" feel from the vibe. Drums, guitars, and vocal came through cleanly, ready to mix and enhance as desired. The mic seems well built and comes with everything needed to mic any situation. I have used an AT4040 ($299) and would love to compare that with this mic. Thanks again!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi urltom thanks ever so much for your wonderful comment! I’m a huge fan of this mic!!

[@miloradsavoski]

Nice. I would like to see more videos where you compare things. The one with several mic on aqoustic was great. LCT 240 Pro is one of mic I would like in my studio. Thanks for your work Warren.

[@Producelikeapro]

Milorad Savoski that’s great to hear my friend!!

[@soundman1402]

I found this mic to be really sizzly and harsh on top, personally. I used to have a pair of Shure SM-94s... Small diaphragm condensers. I don't think they're made anymore. I paid something like $180 each for them. Those two plus an SM-58 were the only mics I had for quite a while, and they worked out fine -- a lot of recordings made with those and my Mackie 1402! Then I got a pair of AT 4033s, which really upped the game! Watch Sennheiser's Facebook and/or web pages. For some anniversary of theirs, they are heavily discounting a couple mics each month. Mics not ordinarily cheap may be so!

[@skylarcarlson7745]

Crazy, I just covered this song as well. It's on my soundcloud now. I've learned tons from you warren. Thanks.

[@Producelikeapro]

Skylar Carlson thanks ever so much! Agreed! An amazing song! Robert Johnson was an incredible writer indeed!

[@LasseHuhtala]

I've been using a RODE NT1-A for all my recordings up to date. It's so quiet, so you can boost stuff an insane amount without getting too much hiss. It's a good cheap mic, if you can't get your hands on a Lewitt.

[@seanjohnson20100]

Great timing...I've been looking at Lewitt's LCT-140 sm. condenser and LCT-240 lg cond. Currently I use a RODE NT1A and some super cheap behringer C2 Pencil mics. Trying to find the best way to capture acoustic guitar primarily. Would be really fun to win the 240.

[@Producelikeapro]

Sean Johnson I live the Lewitt’s for Acoustic Guitar! They sound amazing!!

[@AxelMairal]

A great mic for beginner is the Akg Perception 100. Is a economic mic and a goog option for recording voice and acuatic guitar. But if you have more money, you can buy a rode nt1000.

[@jollytreepin2168]

I use an SM58 for everything (Home studio, no drum kit), and it works quite well, not so good on my acoustics so this mic would definitely be worth it for acoustics, and I might even stop using the SM58 for most things. Nice video

[@TheSmokedKarma]

Thx Warren. I usually watch on my game console, so I don't get to like and comment, and I know how important it is to the algorithm to get your videos out to people. It is the least I can do for all the help, advice, and knowledge you give to the community. Thanks Warren great video as always!!!!!!!!

[@PetervanderPlaat]

I really impressed of the versatility of this "cheap" mic. Thanks for the performance and the effort you puts in this videos.

[@GaragebandandBeyond]

What's the bass you're playing? 6-string Fender, like the Beatles used to have?

[@shaviraintaniahapsari9526]

It's Fender XI Bass, it belongs to Graham Coxon guitarist from bloor

[@Producelikeapro]

GaragebandandBeyond it is a Fender 6 Strung Bass! It belongs to Graham Coxon!

[@Producelikeapro]

Shavira Intania Hapsari yes, indeed! I wish it was mine!

[@carlgarthwaite6935]

Jack Bruce also used a Fender VI! But I think for the live version of "Crossroad" from "Wheels of Fire" he was using a Gibson EB-3 and Eric Clapton was using a Gibson 335 (The red one that Gibson made clones of Clapton's 335 as a reissue).

[@Producelikeapro]

Carl Garthwaite yes! I love that live Crossroads performance! Unbelievable!! Inspiring guitar playing from Eric Clapton!

[@adamwasthefirstman]

Yep. That's pretty darn nice! I have a pair of Blue Sparks I would say are closest to the value/sound. Plus they have a "focus" switch that, while I don't employ it often, gives you a secondary tonal option, which can be nice. Still, best bang-for-buck mic for me right now is the $299 WA-47jr. Just a ridiculously good value with lots of options. Definitely colors the sound a bit, but in a good way and I've now used it on darned most everything!

[@evighvitveis]

Recently had to buy a portable interface, and because of you I bought the iD4 😉 it did not disappoint!

[@Steelplayer59]

Great job, as always, Warren! I've accumulated several low price mics over the years, and have found three that I seem to gravitate toward: MXL V67 LDC with an output transformer which works well on some vocals, standard SM57 on most amps, and my latest and probably my new go-to mic: Blue Bluebird. It has a warm, yet neutral sound that I find useful for vocals, and even acoustic guitar. Off topic, but a quick question: Have you considered doing a video on documentation of sessions and the equipment and settings used? So often, it seems as though the pros can recall such a level of detail about past sessions, even decades ago, that it amazes me.

[@toddfritz7880]

I have used a behringer B2 a lot lately. It’s worked very well for me. I put it a few feet in front of my bass drum and it sounds fantastic. I’ve done really good vocals and guitars with it too. Next I’m going to try using 2 of the to re ord a band live.

[@toddfritz7880]

That’s supposed to say “2 of them to record” at the end. Oops

[@Producelikeapro]

Todd Fritz Thanks for sharing!!

[@royglennie]

I have a Behringer B1 which I believe is the same as the B2 but only uses one side of the diaphragm for fixed cardioid... seems not a bad mic

[@adamfox9651]

Warren Huart: mixing class hero The only condenser mics I own are three from Sterling: the ST51, SP150, and SP130(SDC). The latter two came packaged together. I got them all really cheap on sale. I wouldn't say that I'm impressed with them, per se, but they certainly do the job, especially considering the price. My bandmate owns a matched pair of Audio-Technica AT2020s, which also seem to do a good job. We initially just used them as room mics to record our jam sessions before we starting learning how to produce like a pro. Now, we like to use them as amp mics in combination with a faux 57 or two. I wish you hadn't cut "Crossroads" short. I whipped out my D harmonica and started jamming along with you. I was just getting into it, too.

[@eddypalogrande]

[@outandfree]

I have Rode NT 1A and Line6 Sonic Port VX, the first one is great, the other is very interesting, it can do a lot and it sounds good.

[@raindogred]

Every room has a magic spot where even a cheap mic like on a phone can give a decent recording of a drum kit..sometimes in front, off to one side or behind..trick is finding it..can take a while

[@youreallygotmenow4855]

Believe it or not, I've been pretty happy with the results I've got with my Samson C01. I know that it is a really inexpensive condenser mic, but I've found it to be really good for recording vocals and acoustic guitars (especially considering its price tag).

[@michaeltsouris8190]

Please do an episode on ribbon mics

[@Producelikeapro]

Michael Tsouris definitely! There is one from before you should check out!

[@roscoemacphersonmusi]

Would love the chance to win one of these, would be very useful in my small set up. For versatlity I can't go past the mighty SM57, a mic I use all the time. Another cracking video Warren!

[@andersbostrom3745]

I like the Line Audio CM3 for recording my flutes.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks for sharing Anders!

[@peterengdahl4087]

As usual, a very cool video, Warren. I bought the Lewitt LCT 440 Pure (from having watched your channel) and will test it out tomorrow. :)

[@autodidacticprofessor869]

Sounds awesome, Warren! My first "good" mic was an AT2035 and I made a bunch of records with it. I still shoot it out against more expensive mics and it wins often. I'm getting into unique mics like these that are kind of between a small and large diaphragm. I'm looking for some affordable condensers for toms. These might be the ones!

[@scottbaxendale323]

I have a first edition CAD E100 ($150) which I always thought of as a poor mans 414. The Shure SM7b isn’t too expensive and I have always considered it a “desert island” choice. The Lewitt mic sounds great! Especially on the acoustic guitar! Thanks.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Scott Baxendale thank you my friend!! It helps that the Acoustic Guitar is AMAZING thanks to you!!

[@scottbaxendale323]

Produce Like A Pro The great tone of that guitar is translated very nicely through that microphone!

[@Producelikeapro]

Scott Baxendale Thanks my friend! You do amazing work!!

[@ElHombrePurpura]

I use my Audio Technica 2020 for everything and it sounds amazing paired with my Focusrite ISA one

[@JenniferLions]

Sounds great ! - I've been using a Zoom H2 up until now. It's a decent mic, but this LTC 240 sounds very appealing at that price.

[@Producelikeapro]

Jenna Lions that’s amazing to hear! Thanks for sharing!

[@lcor2009]

Been following you for a while. Got this exact mic in my home studio. Really good!

[@Producelikeapro]

That’s great to hear!

[@rocknrollguitar]

I friggin love this! I used only one mic to record an entire ep this way, works like a charm!

[@bzqp2]

Behringer C1. I've been searching for a long time - this seems to be THE CHEAPEST option at less than 50usd. Lacks high-end and is a bit too dark, but imho after some EQ it sounds great for an amateur, low budget "studio". :)

[@sirdaveandre]

After watching your video, and reading lots of reviews I finally ordered the LCT 240 pro. First I was looking for a second dynamic mic for guitars, but I decided to go for another condenser first, mainly to record my voice. I already own a good Condenser (B.P.M CR II - 20 year old German Mic) - veeery good on voices in general, but sadly absolutely wrong on mine. Kinda too much high frequencies and not enough mid range. I'll post a review in a few days.

[@frankedge]

Great video and great sounding song. I'm really surprised how good such affordable microphones can sound. I've been using the Audio Technica AT4050 / CM5 for many different applications for many years. On your recommendation, I bought the Lewitt LCT 440 Pure a few months ago and in combination with the UK Sound 1173, which I own too, it works great with my voice and also for acoustic guitars. You're right, the price of equipment is not deciding, it's more important what you can do with your existing resources. Just do it and do not think so much about what else you need

[@dansands6363]

Great video Warren!! Man, that fender is mesmerizing. Absolutely love that finish!

[@Producelikeapro]

Danny Sands agreed! It belongs to Graham Coxon!!

[@lemeker]

Great Demo Warren. That mic is a steal at $149. Sounds amazing too. The only mic I have at the moment is an sm57 for my guitar cab(s), but I think I just found my next mic.

[@Shawnee845]

Would you use a Bass Drum mic to record BASS Guitar. Audix F6 or a D2. SM 57 not the right choice!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Shawnee Hodgson yes you could! All of those mics would work! I tend to use a condenser most times! This mic worked great for it!

[@SteveGresko]

I was surprised how good my bass tone is just using a 57! What was it about the 57 that didn't work for you?

[@gilbycoyote]

I used a Rode NT1 for the longest time with great results.

[@chipcunningham4637]

nice, would love to try one of these out. i use a relatively inexpensive Audio Technica AT2020, which isn't bad, but isn't ideal for a variety of situations like this mic!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Chip Cunningham fantastic! Yes, I am extremely impressed, especially at this price point!!

[@floatinganarchychannel3204]

beautiful review thanks a lot, my only worried mind is if it capture good sound also for classic guitar?

[@sleepycrow1816]

I want to point out, that I bought all my waves plugins and a Lewitt 440 Pure based on your information. So, thank you for that. And if you happen to choose me for the give away, please give it to someone who needs it more than I do.

[@Producelikeapro]

Johnny Lucid that’s very kind of you!

[@MartinLuxen]

What a mic, wow! Impressed! Also great acoustic guitar sound! With my Rode NT1-a I can't get this sound, but I think it's mainly because of the room ambience (it's not treated). I don't like the "reverb" that it adds. Since I'm at a point of moving to another house, I'll definitely treat my home studio and also put a couch in it (this one is too small for that)

[@jurgenschuler8389]

That was fun, wasn't it? Ok, my favorite mic I own is the Rode NT1. I have two other mics that cost a little over 100 EUR combined. I use them for recording kids and they get thrown around a lot.

[@Producelikeapro]

Jürgen Schuler thanks for sharing my friend!

[@Intrinsic.Recording]

Hi Warren, would these make a decent starter OH pair for drums? They sound pretty clean on top, but there weren't a lot of cymbals in that track, save the ride. Handle loud cymbals ok? How much of a step up is the PURE? Would a pair of Lewitt's SDC's be a better choice for this? Thanks man!

[@prime-mate]

Warren sings!

[@Producelikeapro]

[@JimijaymesProductions]

Would you consider the 440 a big improvement for the money? It seems this has a little of that china mic hype in the top end.

It's currently my main mic! Love it :D

[@Producelikeapro]

Pungki Ahimsa Thanks ever so much for sharing!!

[@SirEggbertfartalot]

I've got one mic, it came with the scarlet solo, I think Warren said it was a CM25 ? (in his scarlet bundle video). There's only me learning here, so it's fine for now, seems to be quiet (IE: low noise) and picks up quite cleanly. A basic, half decent mic, that is more capable than I am at the moment LoL But one day, who knows, I might need an upgrade mic or two or 8 or 20 ;0)

[@Producelikeapro]

SirEggbertfartalot thanks for sharing your set up my friend!!

[@ericanderson9383]

I have been planning on buying a LTC 240 pro, I am wondering if buying two would be a good idea to use in stereo? and I love the Shure SM57 also I love my AKG perception 100 pencil condenser.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Eric Anderson yes, what I love about the Lewitt’s, in particular, is they match extremely well!!

[@mariusz7891]

i have sE Electronics sE2200a and it's pretty amazing for vocals

[@newrockorder]

The AKG c214 is definitely beating the Rode NT1a, the AKG records vocals purer, Rode adds a bit of high frequency harshness, and it lacks bottom end compared to the AKG.

[@Czyszy]

The mixing is genius

[@oatscurry]

This is amazing! Your performance 5 minutes had me disbelieving I could get that mic for $150. Would you have anything you'd point out as "points I'd be missing out on" if I chose this over the 440 Pure? Thanks in advance!

[@Producelikeapro]

[@michaeltsouris8190]

I think it would be very useful to present comparative tests. For example, this against an expensive Neumann 47, or this against cheaper Shure 57, so I can really tell what Im missing out on by not owning this mic. I know I know , one is a large diaphragm condenser and the other is a dynamic mic. The idea is a A/B demonstration of mics.

[@Producelikeapro]

Michael Tsouris absolutely! I have a few of those videos as well!

[@GraemeWoller]

Loved the quick rundown, Warrren. Nice mic for the price! How much of Crossroads did you record? I'd love to try throwing a vocal on it!

Is there a noticeable difference from using the 240 compared to the 240 pro?

[@TheRezus35]

I'd like to know how much gain is needed for that kind of microphone? Gain on the interface I mean..

[@sunnibird]

Is this a better choice than the AKG 3000??

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi sunnibird I haven’t used my old AKG3000 in years!

[@peterbrandt7911]

Sounds nice to me. Reminds me (yes in price too) of the Rode NT1-A. Correct me if I'm wrong. Just tried it once, don't own it. And a video with multiple Warrens, what could possibly go wrong :). My favourite mic is my AKG 414 B-ULS.

Hi Peter Brandt haha multiple Warren’s?? Haha that’s some people’s idea of not a good time! Haha
