This Microphone Blew My Mind (Why The Lauten Audio LT-386 Replaced My Entire Mic Locker)

In this video, I want to show you why the Lauten Audio LT-386 Eden is my favorite microphone to use for pop applications. The Eden has been my go-to mic for over a year and most people don't realize the amazing features this microphone has to offer. This mic can serve as 9 different mics in one, making it a swiss army knife in my mic locker. This is NOT SPONSORED!

Can you do a mix tutorial on mixing low end kick and bass. That's the most difficult part for amateurs to master.

[@outlawedbeats]

Great video and a great job showing the settings.... I've had this mic since Dec 22, it's amazing, really. It handles fx really well, as well as outboard gear. The Neve 542 is a really nice touch with it.

[@PatrickBreenMusic]

Great video man! Loved hearing your examples and perspective. Lauten makes amazing mics. I use my Atlantis on pretty much every session. Definitely hope to get my hands on one of these in the future!

[@BrendanMiranda]

Sounds nice. Been using the Clarion for about a year now. These mics are soooo good.

[@daystrainsandtracks1246]

Don't have 2 grand, so i bought the Clarion. Thanks for the tip!

[@mixedbygip8938]

Dope Video bro!

[@mrpringles9343]

You should totally do a how to for Chill Pop like the band Easy Life. They’ve got such a unique style that is super creative and chill, like a fusion of jazz, indie pop and lofi

[@MDHeleniak]

Good vid. Thanks.

[@AnwaarAliOfficial]

In the music section what type of Bass instrument is used?

[@RubenMillsOfficial]

I ordered one of these for 2 grand yesterday 👌🏻 great timing on the video, bro

[@MakePopMusic]

2 grand is A STEALLLL!

[@RubenMillsOfficial]

@@MakePopMusic I know 😂

[@benolakshman863]

@@RubenMillsOfficial Damn where did you get that from for 2k😮?

[@RubenMillsOfficial]

@@benolakshman863 used on Guitar Center which I wanted to do so I get 45 days to test it out and make sure it’s what I want

[@user-it4di4sk1k]

​@benolakshman863 you can get them used on reverb for 2k. I got mine there for $2,200. It's a great mic

[@happycry8112]

Sounds solid af. Have you listened to Magdalena Bay? I think is one of the best pop acts right now and i would love to hear a How To video on their style, they have tons of layers and the vocal production is crazy

[@jarjar45123]

+1000 i love their production

[@ThreeDaysDown7]

you should do a video about how to make a song like mgmt. Eectric feel was really popular. Something like a song from their oracular spectacular album

[@jasminex6661]

you guys should do a giveaway for this, would give the chance to reward some of your viewers who can’t afford it such as myself

[@MakePopMusic]

We can do some giveaways but a $4k mic is a steep giveaway for us 😅

[@jasminex6661]

@@MakePopMusic oh well it was worth a try!😂

[@zachpitt9249]

Try Lewitt RAY microphone its built in autofocus is a game changer.

[@jaredsorce]

I’m trying to decide between tlm 103 and warm cx 12. Any recommendations?thanks!

[@MakePopMusic]

Those are 2 very different mics. Do you want FET or Tube? For tube, I’d say just do the Lauten 320 V2, for FET the 103 is fire or a Telefunken TF11

[@jaredsorce]

@@MakePopMusic I appreacite the response! I was going off what I liked the sound of. I didn’t consider this and now will. I would primarily be using this for vocals. I sing a lot of classic rock and standards as well. Is there a benefit of tube over fet or is it more preference. Thank you again for taking the time to reply!

[@mechpade]

this or lewitt lct1040? both are tubed with a bunch of pre-sets

[@MakePopMusic]

I tend to grab this more than the 1040. They’re both great though.

[@victorsimic1796]

Hows this compared to the Vanguard V13 gen2?

[@MakePopMusic]

I prefer this much more. I tried the vanguards and liked them. But ultimately sent them back because I would’ve never picked them over my Lauten stuff.

[@vadimmartynyuk]

Anytime I hear a mic that's not SM7B, my ears thank me

[@Azfurita]

true

[@BplusK]

It’s looks like a Pringles can! 😂 sounds great tho

[@rodolpheseror7501]

4000$ I hope it's a good one yeah

[@hldfgjsjbd]

4k? No thanks
