Recording a full song with 1 mic (Lewitt LCT 540 Subzero) - Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro

[@a1guitarmaker]

Nobody ever brings this up, Warren, but you are a good vocalist with an identifiable vibe, style, sound... you know what I mean.

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha thank you my friend!

[@michaellarsen180]

I was about to mention that - I was very surprised, this is the first song I hear Warren sing. Very good job, smooth voice, simple melody with a lovely feeling to get caught up in.

[@dylandylan11731]

Just thinking the same myself....

[@DerekBrown]

Wonderful vocal tone and a smooth performance. I would use him any time for vox, color me surprised!

[@abrotherinchrist]

He does have a classic, relaxed British style. Maybe some Lennon with Thom Yorke and some Tom Petty? I do like the mic too.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Friend, with only one Mic the Lewitt LCT540 Sub Zero, the Audient iD4 and the UK Sound 1173. I had a great time recording this song I wrote with my old friend Buck Johnson , the keyboard player and background singer for Aerosmith. Special thanks to Matt Starr for playing drums on the song!

[@ScottSmithMusic]

👍🏼⚡️💥🔥Awesome!!!

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Someday one of these Mic demos will hit the charts and I will be that annoying guy telling everybody "I knew him before he was famous!"

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha aw shucks thanks ever so much!! You're too kind!

[@philfyphil]

He already is famous, he's a legend. :-) It's great to see a fellow Brit living in the USA and doing marvelously well!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Phil!! You Rock!

[@darioyayolopeslopes4351]

kikiki good.

[@andymusicyoutube]

oh that's marvellous Warren! i love to watch you recording, playing, singing. it's really inspiring! do more stuff like that!!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Many thanks Audrey! It's a fun time!

[@Sky3RN]

Nice one dude ! Still got a slight preference for the Roswell Delphos you showed a short while ago but hell it sounds damn great !

[@Producelikeapro]

Both AMAZING mics!!

[@davidallenhammond2777]

Beautiful song and sung and played so beautifully. The recording sounds really nice as well. Thank you.

[@mattgreenlee5377]

Always inspiring to watch you do one-mic recordings, Warren! Keep up the incredible work, thank you for the fantastic information, and cheers from Wyoming!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thank you Matt! Thanks for leaving this as a comment! You Rock!

[@Scrapyy]

Okay I’m back nearly 3 years later and this is in my top 10 songs I’ve ever heard in my life. Perfection

[@Producelikeapro]

Wow! Thanks ever so much

[@legacyShredder1]

I do the same thing, man. This is a fantastic tune.

[@vintageriddims9768]

reminds me of britpop from when i was a kid growing up in the 90's big up warren, great vocalist, guitarist, producer, songwriter and teacher, much respect and blessings

[@johncore363]

I purchased the lewitt 440 pure after your review. Very nice mic.

[@Producelikeapro]

Amazing John! It's a great mic! Happy recording!

[@fourcolourghosts3346]

Glad i came here.....AJ...;-) great videos and info...thank you

[@joejurneke9576]

I really like this production. I listen to it every few months just to remind myself what one can achieve with guidance, drive and passion. I loved mixing this song as well. Thanks Warren

[@joebobhenrybob2000]

Thanks for backing Lewitt. I got the 440 pure in large part due to you although I listened to countless mic shootouts before pulling the trigger. Totally happy with it. How do those guys make such good mics for such modest pricing?

[@EnamAzed]

Beautiful Warren :) jai beaucoup aimé la chanson, et tu chantes “marvelously well” 👍🏻👍🏻😊

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha Enam! Thank you!

[@Producelikeapro]

Merci beaucoup!

[@contemplasound]

What a killer performance! Beautiful song! Why isn't on spotify yet?

[@boldbearStudios]

Wow, killer performance guys! Matt plays so controlled and I guess that's the main ingredient for a good drum sound with one mic. Warren, I really really like your voice. To me you're a musician in its purest meaning. And one of the most polite and generous people I know. Thanks for all your great work!

[@splashesin8]

I remember wanting that ID4 not too many days back. This did sound beautiful. Omigoodness and its own pop screen.

[@Beatledave7]

Great song Warren, gotta take my hat off to someone who can cover so much musically. I’ve heard you not regarding yourself as much of a singer. You are a terrific singer! and you sound a very similar to Paul McCartney on this tune!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Beatledave7 wow!! Thanks ever so much! That’s a huge compliment! I’m humbled my friend!

[@Realtalkyou08]

Wow 😮 it sounds amazing like really amazing. It’s full, clear with absolutely no mud.

[@ToddGlosser]

Beautiful. Loved the solo at the end, and the movement in the acoustic guitars. More please Sir.

[@josephvalo]

I love the song and I cannot wait to mix it! Sounds like a number 1 hit! Also that was one heck of a review Warren! Amazing job! I never really thought that you could use just one mic to record a song but now I am a believer thanks to you! You ROCK Warren!! I hope you are having a wonderful day as well!

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes! It can be done! - Have a marvellous time mixing it!

[@cornbobrimlove7892]

Wow man.... I love your voice tone and style , vibrato......very nice singing. As good as it would ever need to be for this tune. Let's hear more of you singing man.

[@Producelikeapro]

Cornbob Rimlove aw shucks thanks ever so much!!

[@TheRiffRunner]

Warrens a rock star! Great song, great mic.

[@Producelikeapro]

haha! Many thanks Elmer!

[@salthedrummer1]

Warren you are super talented - man you content is amazing and your vocals is second to none.. God bless you...

[@Producelikeapro]

Aw shucks!! Thanks ever so much

[@Frank.Zimmermann]

Wow!! First-rate, Warren! Great performance, great song. Many thanks for the multitracks!!

[@hansy1305]

My god Warren! Such a beautiful voice you've got. Really refreshing. Also, such tasty guitar playing.

[@TheVidman5]

Warren you're a genious! A true definition of an accomplished musician and producer

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Arib Crisp you are far too kind!! Thanks ever so much!!

[@sunnysuman1255]

You have a good voice, you can sing well. Need more songs like this.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Sunny Suman thanks ever so much!!

[@SimonChampagne]

It goes to show how basic quality gear is more than enough when you've got great performances on good instruments by talented people. Great one Warren! #SkillsOverGear

[@IntheDAW]

Lewitt is hands down one of the most affordable quality microphone companies out there

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi In the DAW I agree 100%!

[@Mcgiver699]

Wow Warren what a great demo, beautiful song and not to shabby vocals. Well done mate and greetings from a Dominican in Brighton!!

[@bjoernkmusic]

Very characteristic high midrange on this one. Really liked it on the guitars, made them cut in a good and non-abrasive way. Didn't like it as much on the vox.

[@joaospin]

Very tasteful, Warren! And nice pipes :D

[@Producelikeapro]

Thank you ever so much!! You're too kind!!

[@autodidacticprofessor869]

Dang. You’re a pretty good singer Warren! Great demo! I may have to add a Lewitt to the mic locker.

[@abrahamrodriguez1205]

MAN, Warren CAN sing! Beautiful!

[@danwildersaidso]

Thank you for the review! I'm definitely getting this mic now! Also, your voice is awesome!

[@donniehill5688]

Great Job. You The Mic and Mr Starr Killed It!!!!

[@pageonemovement]

Can’t wait to try mine! This sounds awesome

[@VOByRobbins]

Would love to try the 540 for my audiobooks!! Thanks for posting this and I'll also check out your review

[@andrewcompton3366]

Wow! That sounded great.What a talent you are.

[@Cangsque]

What a great sound on everything! and nice voice Warren..

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi CANGA anton thanks ever so much!

[@Vesohag]

Wow, very nice song! And very nice sound as always, Warren!! :D

[@Producelikeapro]

Many thanks Vesohag!

[@andreizhilkin2680]

So pleasing. Great song and performance! Would love to have it on spotify... Cheers!

[@alcoyot]

That mic works just fine. Sometimes you want a tube though, either in the mic pre, mic or both. Great song too. your voice is very well suited for pop singing.

[@haydencluff896]

Sounding good Warren! The mic sounds great!

[@trollstjerne]

Great song and nice mic review Warren. Vocals sounds really good.

[@mixanyar2742]

A BIG BIG WOW TO THIS VIDEO WOOOOOW the song is absolutely gorgeous, i almost forgot that i'm watching a mic-review (and i think that means this is how music should be) love the 540s by the way... it's fantastic love from iran :)

[@SingleMaltIdiot]

That looks like a neat mic. Definitely entering the giveaway. Really dig that song as well. Need to comment as, while clearly everyone knows that you - a guitar-loving engineer - are a wonderful guitarist, your vocal tone is absolutely fantastic! Really dig your singing.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Lethonai was shucks ever so much!! You are very kind

[@TrevorRoper.]

big tu^ 53 for song and performance ;-) nice

[@martinjohnbutler]

Well done Warren, sounds really good.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thank you Martin! - You Rock!

[@terrydoylemusic]

Lovely. Sounds like a record :-) That is certainly a great mic.

[@Producelikeapro]

Indeed Terry! - Many thanks

[@terrydoylemusic]

I agree with some of the comments below that you pretty much skipped over the fact that you were using the UK Sound 1173 on every track as well. Modesty is a virtue indeed! :-)

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Terry Doyle aw shucks thanks very much my friend! Yes, the whole idea of the design was to show that take an amazing clean, low noise mic and get some grit from a Mic Pre/Compressor and it’s a win win for me!!

[@Mcandmar]

Wow, just wow. ....mic's pretty good too!

[@michaeldouglas2634]

Sounds Fantastic. Great song.

[@JDUBguitar]

Warren killer song! I know you say your not A singer but that was awesome. I really like the chorus. The producer in me wanted to hear like a 3rd of 5th harmony second vocal on the pre chorus to help build that sweet chorus. Great job overall. Keep making great content and sharing your passion for music. Your videos really inspire me! Cheers from Northern California 🤘

[@jerrypalmer3534]

Really like the song , your voice, everythng about this !! Great !! Thank you !!

[@Brani1974]

What an awesome song!! And I only came here to learn about that microphone!

[@rowanalfred9346]

Warren, you are a bloody legend.

[@joshnealmusic7782]

Nice video thanks for sharing you do make it look a lot easier than it is but knowing that it is possible is very inspiring.

[@cauefernandes5931]

Wooow! This song is awesome!!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thank you Cauê!

[@MartinLuxen]

This is awesome! You should do a mixdown as well to see how much was "added" etc... Would be interesting I guess! Great recording, what a mic!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Martin Luxen thanks ever so much! Please download the tracks and do your own mix as well

[@MartinLuxen]

I will! After my holiday in Greece :D

[@theaviary238]

First time I heard you sing. You are really good!

[@alesnovak2906]

Your best vocal performance so far,Warren..Congrats :)

[@ShiningHourPop]

Very nice indeed. I like your voice too!

[@Producelikeapro]

ShiningHourPop aw shucks thanks ever so much!

[@SirEggbertfartalot]

Well that was a treat for my ears ;0) Really enjoyed listening to this song Warren. As a demo of the Microphone, it is a wonderful showcase for sure. But that song has something all of it's own too, easy, laid back listening. Marvelously well done sir ;0)

[@tommartin7833]

Killer job Warren! Jack of all musical trades☺️

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much

[@jerrymckenzie6205]

Nice song, Warren!

That was fantastic, and you have a great channel.

[@joejurneke9576]

Beautiful masterpiece!

[@PaulSmith91850]

Nicely sung and played tune

[@jamesfisher2575]

Pretty darn marvelous

[@petemusgrove7422]

Good grief Warren, I heard you say in another video that you're "not a singer". Well, I didn't hear any autotune going on and you can come and sing in my band any day! I really like the song a lot, the performances and yes, the mic :-) Can't wait to mix it!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Pete Musgrove thanks ever so much my friend! You are far too kind!

[@mikedennis6979]

Excellent, well done

[@BobSpring]

great vocals! big up!

[@Lucaboninimusic]

Warren leave some talent for the rest of us jesus christ!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha you’re being very kind!

[@marksr12]

Fantastic and well done! I do see additional mics on the drum kit? Warren you are a very gifted musician and producer and very very generous to share your knowledge!

[@SirEggbertfartalot]

I presume Warren left his usual drum kit mic setup in place (a lot of hassle to remove them all and set them back up again).

[@bharathj63]

What a great song!

[@Producelikeapro]

Marvellous

[@bharathj63]

@@Producelikeapro woah! First time getting a reply from you sir! Thankyou for all you've done to the music community! 🙏

[@PeterGregg]

So cool. Never heard of this mic, sounds like a big surprise. I would highly suggest you do a video showing you mixing this song and what settings and plugins you needed for the mic to sound quite good - jealously good lol. Big thumbs up 👍👍

[@jimsanger]

You've surprised me Warren, really impressed by your vocal on this. The whole production sounds great (as ever!) the only thing I'd change is the lead guitar tone, sounds a little on the fuzzy side

[@SM57]

Great performance and song👏👏👏

[@guitarstreet]

Hi Warren! Thanks for producing awesome content with the Lewitt mics - sounding absolutely fabulous. I'm considering between the 440 PURE and 540 S. Any advice for me please?

[@estudiofontesonora]

Beautiful song !

[@Crowbar11115]

Vocals have that Adrian Belew Matte Kudasai vibe...yes, please!!

[@dylanwagman9316]

Warren is the G.O.A.T.

[@Scrapyy]

This needs to go on Spotify! Probs my favourite song of last year

[@upontheword632]

Hey Warren, great talent right there. Kindly advise, if you had 440 pure and 540 subzero, which would you pick as the workhorse mic, and why? What would I miss is I just pick the mic (440 pure or 540 subzero) and the iD4 and not use the uk1173 strip? Thank you. I'm about to launch my music production hassle. Thank you indeed.

[@mattd7650]

Great Song bro!

[@eduardzemlianoi]

Thanks for another one great video! Just want to ask you - how it compared (sound- and noise-wise) with old LCT550?

[@Emergentministry]

I did not really like how it picked up the drums but with that said I can't think of any single mic that would do it better. And everything else sounded amazing. That mic has just made it onto my wish list!!

[@SteveKozak36]

Warren I really like that song great tune.

[@federicobanos624]

Great video Warren! At home I only have a two pre interface, what do you suggest I mic on drums, overhead/kick or overhead/snare thanks in advance!

[@ScottSmithMusic]

Man, when chorus hit I was hit and it was good! I got moved by those vocals and yes the instruments too, but vocally…….⚡️💥🔥 Yeah, great. 👍🏼 nice mic too….. That chorus though lifted you up and swept you away! Beautifully done, guys.

[@dylandylan11731]

Your voice is excellent Warren!!!!! You need to track your vocals like this more of your videos. I'd watch them for the music content alone, kudos fella!!

[@toddfritz7880]

Thanks for all your videos! What are your thoughts on the Berlinger B1 and B 2 microphones?

[@HerrNox]

Hey Warren! Been watching a lot of your videos lately. Especially those about vocals (which are all awesome by the way). Quick question: do you use the same techniques for both female and male vocals? If not what are the différences?

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Herr Nox Marvellous question! Every vocalist whether they are male or female needs different recording techniques and mixing. Starting from getting an amazing performance from them!

[@TheZeSnow]

Hey Warren, that's a very cool song! I really like your vocals. Have you thought about recording a video about your tape machine? Just a practical video about recording on tape. I realize it could be expensive.. But if you can and want to do it, then I'd really like to see it!
