[@aro7975]

Ya I've had this mic for a few weeks and it's great. Nice and small. Sounds amazing for even just talking. I do run an EQ through it from my RME interface but without it's amazing too.

[@kriLdaChrixt]

I´m super happy with this mic! Got it about a month ago in it´s been a pleasure working with it

[@wilkspaulino1757]

I have owned a C12 a Apex 460 modded by Dave Thomas to sound like the c800g and a u87 I rently purchased the Sony c80 and I have to say it holds up and actually sounds brighter more controlled and even through the recordings for such a small much it can handle alot of spl and has that great modern tone I mean is it a c800g no but you can deff make it sound similar and regardless every mic has its own character especially how each ages differently. Great job Sony now I'm using my c80 on all my newer projects stop by my channel and hear what I've got

[@kriLdaChrixt]

@@wilkspaulino1757 Betu, it´s very comfortable to mix and all my clients loved it! U had some fire songs

[@wilkspaulino1757]

@@kriLdaChrixt thanks bro yeah it's a very easy mic to use and love it very much

[@Blackandwhiteivorys]

I’m sold. I’ve been researching the NT 2000 and C-100 for about two weeks and ran up on this mic! Research over! For the price point I’m rolling with this mic! Great vid!

[@KeyWAV]

Exactly! That’s what I’m saying..the price point and the sound is just crazy good. Honestly was surprised and didn’t expect it. Thanks for sharing and appreciate the comment 🙏

[@Blackandwhiteivorys]

@Key WAV I thank you for posting a recent review! I saw that it was just posted and clicked on it! I'm purchasing this mic right now as I sit in the airport!

[@KeyWAV]

@@Blackandwhiteivorys happy for you man! 🙂 Once you get it, let me know what you think!

Great video G! I just ordered mine as well🔥😭

[@KeyWAV]

Thanks bro! Let me know what you think 💪

[@yousendjoker8176]

What a great video, it sounds fantastic. Your answer is definitive for me, shure sm7b or sony c80? It is for recording some voice, acoustic guitar and little else

[@Karlhto]

great mic man. i'm looking forward to getting the pro tools carbon and having a mic like this one

[@AsadKhanMA]

Good flow Brother 🫶

[@ogpainkillaz6450]

You can tell Sony didn’t wanna miss out on this market of bedroom studio wanna be rappers that can’t afford expensive mics(that’s including myself when I say that😂) they wanted to compete with slate,Townsend, the tlm 103s, I want one now but I already got the Townsend sphere so I guess no need 😢, good video man

[@JaeBTundra1]

😂 it's about the money.

[@tutorial4779]

sounds compressed fascinating.

[@B4LSPAZZZ]

Wassup bro, I have a question about a problem i ran into using FL. I recorded and saved/exported my song but when i went to listen to it pieces of the verse or hook would cut out as if a piece were deleted leaving everything else playing during that couple of seconds except those couple of words. Explained best i could, hopefully you can help.

[@nikoofficialmusic343]

Sick Mic! Are You doing any giveaways? jw Love the content though. keep it up!

[@user-ci1vd7ps5o]

Thoughts on this vs the TLM103? Have you tried the C100?

[@Lanatemusic]

How you like the c80 compared to the elm 102 you used to use ?

[@_YoungKD]

Would you recommend this over the wa87 r2?

[@SilentHillsJamesSunderland]

What audio interface do you use?

[@eldrinpypers]

hey man, your videos is great and studio, can we have studio tour please🙏

[@KeyWAV]

Will make it happen 👍

[@wiseguy0103]

You forget to mention the most important thing, what is the mic connected to, which audio interface or pre amp ??? Always mention the record chain bro 😊 still a nice review the mic sounds awesome 👊🏽😎

[@KeyWAV]

My bad- I'm using a 6ft Cable Matters XLR and that's going into an Apollo Twin X audio interface without preamps or any plugins 🙂

[@silveramateur571]

@@KeyWAV I keep reading this wow if this is true sound better than my TLM 103,Great content like always KEY

[@brucemi3260]

Considering this verses a tlm 103? Do you have a rec?

[@LA_marr]

Me too which one did you go with

[@j.brownofficial5433]

What bout C80 vs C100 ?

[@maxyre]

would you recommend me rather the Neumann TLM102 or the Sony C80? I'd use it only for vocals , for some iann dior type and rnb music

[@KeyWAV]

I would go with the c-80! The TLM 102 is an awesome mic, but the high end frequencies in the mic can be too much when mixing. I find the “SSS” sounds are difficult to take out. The Sony has high end too, but not as harsh when mixing. It also has a tone or saturation sound to it that sounds super clean.

[@maxyre]

@@KeyWAV alright thank you 🙏🏻

[@wilkspaulino1757]

I own the c80 and have used a u87 I find this Sony compression sound going on with vocals I know there is no tube inside but there is this dynamic controlling happening compared to my C12 the c80 seems to be more superior in the mix without sibilance even takes eq very very well and I don't use deesing as much as with the C12 or u87 c80 the best and really underpriced but it's great for us in a budget or those looking for a c800g fet alternative

[@maxyre]

@@wilkspaulino1757 okey sir really thanks for the informations, seems like i'll buy the c80 next week :D

[@gonightnight4901]

Nice! What mic stand is that?

[@deandresmith5761]

Yeah I want one too

[@juanmar910]

Better than Aston Spirit?

[@jamesr141]

Are you ducking the beat for the vocals or no? Just checking. Please reply.

[@KING23623]

Yo bro how you know it’s time to get a new interface and microphone I’m stuck in this right now

[@KeyWAV]

Most interfaces will give you the same sound, but the newer interfaces today have additional features like compression that you can apply in the pre-recording stage. I'd say you really don't need to upgrade unless you want to have additional options when recording.

[@kayjay4952]

@@KeyWAVso if I have a m audio air 192, it wouldn’t be worth it to get a ssl2, volt, or id4? I’m assuming just get a golden age pre instead of a new interface then

[@xxxx-wx5uq]

waiting for another review maybe rode nt1 5th gen???

[@KeyWAV]

I'll see if I can get my hands on it!

[@xxxx-wx5uq]

@@KeyWAV I hope so, I'm curious what you think about the new 32 bit float technology and the new rode version.

[@grindshine]

I got a real question I need you to respond too, are you recording everything yourself through FL studio. This is coming from an artist that wants to know if it can be done solely using FL STUDIO. Lmk bro , I heard a few of your songs on KZbin and they sound good.

[@evilminions00]

He might not answer your question but that is correct. Everything is recorded on fl studio from the vocals to beat, even plugins.

[@KeyWAV]

Everything in FL Studio bro 🔥

[@hotboyroy]

Is song out

[@TremelJackson]

How is everyone getting their fl studio to be a different RGB color I saw a vid where one guys entire fl interface was inverted to look black and green

[@flamersss]

It’s apart of FL Studio 21 that ImageLine included, you just update your FL and goto the settings on top, then “Theme” and select which color layout you want.

[@TremelJackson]

@@flamersss Thank you

[@user-de2gl3qi4p]

Sounds great but it definitely lacks body imo or maybe that’s just my preference.. I prefer the tlm 102

[@vontreherumaiBH]

Yea that’s why I haven’t bought it yet , buuuuuut, I haven’t heard anybody run it thru a preamp and compressor and a converter yet, just mic str8 into the interface ! Which is why we thinking it lacks body !

[@MinisterTravis]

Do you like this mic over the slate?

[@emyhR]

Was about to ask the same because I just got the slate and didn’t know about the mic beforehand

[@KeyWAV]

To each of their own! I love both mics, honestly. If I want a straight forward mic without the use of extra plugins, I'd go with the C-80. But if I'm looking to change up a vocal effect and not really sure what kind of tone I'm going for, I'd go with the Slate ML-1. Both mics will get the job done though.

[@emyhR]

@@KeyWAV Appreciate it! Definitely helped relieve my buyers remorse lol I haven’t used the Slate mic yet. Been waiting for my acoustics to arrive cuz my basement is reverb city

[@JopperRil]

Mic stand?

[@KeyWAV]

www.zzounds.com/a--3979350/item--MUSSMS76501B It’s pretty pricey, but definitely worth it. Sturdy, heavy duty, and it’s on wheels! High quality professional piece of gear.

[@birminghamstudios8113]

I am not too sure what exactly do you mean by its using same materials as c800g ? and how does that has anything to do with it sounding like c800 . you could apply same logic to any condenser mic on planet because they all use mylar brass and gold, how ever they don't have anything in common with c800 ,also c80 capsule is way different then c800 its smaller and new design while c800 is k67 style capsule tuned to higher frequency then Neumann , to my knowledge only reason why it sounds similar is because of sony effort in R&D and years of experience in building microphones .

[@HOTROD256969]

its not open at all sound compress

[@moneymadejay3010]

You think its better than the wa87

[@ayokiff1073]

If you want a heavier low mid off the rip, wa87 will do the job. But with the c80, run it through a good preamp and a eq, you can do so much to get that full body sound. I have both and for a consistent, guaranteed solid raw vocal takes I’d pick the c80 any day. Now the Neumann u87 might be a different conversation I’m not sure

[@kayjay4952]

@@ayokiff1073can I ask if u think I should get a wa87 again? I bought one but I felt it sounded too nasal and thin compared to my wa47jr, I returned it but I just realized I had a high pass filter on the whole time. So I never got to experience how much body it has, I just though it was a nasal mix that’s too bright

[@ayokiff1073]

@@kayjay4952 for the nasal I will say this. I’ve gotten smoother response from the Sony c-80 than the wa87 r2. Where I don’t have to do the get rid of the devil frequency technique. The c80 will capture the full body in a nice balanced way. But if you want more body than the wa87 will do it. But since you mention the nasal part I think it’s better to have balanced smooth recording and you can add more low end in the mixing 💯

[@diveshsingh1673]

If you want full body go sennheiser mk4. This is full body with a lots of low and mid. A tad bit harder mic to work the eq and plugins to cut the mix though, not as bright per se. I would say geared more towards folk or soul type vibe. But it can be used for modern type vocals with eq as previously mentioned does require more work to add shine and pop though. Hope this helps
