first listen and i feel more presence of the dynamics in the U87, but the 219 is super smooth! Both are great!

Thanks for the tip... I have a contract with a Sync agent and sometimes my tracks get rejected because of the lyrics...

Was this song released?

Did he sing that so-sweet song Just Take My Hand in the Ollie TV commercial?

Hello I am trying to find your song "just take my hand." Please tell me where or how to find it

* Kicher...

Anyone know where to get such a 219 mod done in sweden?

I toggled between :55 and 1:17 about a dozen times to hear the same line back to back rapidly. The low midrange was the deciding factor for me. I went back and listened to the top end to see whether there might be some spittiness or high frequency zizz I associate with cheaper condenser mics. I was pleasantly surprised that although they sounded a bit different, both sounded great up high. I finally quit listening, positive mic #2 was the U87. Holy crap. The U87 has never been my *all time* favorite, but on average, it sounds really good for *most* sources. The Joly MK219 absolutely kicked its ass. I have a MK219 somebody gave it to me probably 15 years ago or so. I don't think I have ever used it. I am going to compare it to a U87 today to see how it stacks up in its stock form. I know Michael Joly is no longer modifying mics. Is there someone else still doing these mods in the U.S. for a reasonable fee? Are the mods something anyone with some soldering skills can do at home? Are the replacement parts easy to come by? Assuming the stock version isn't as good, I would love to send mine out or give it a shot myself. Great comparison! Thanks a ton for doing this!

Brilliant! Thanks, Steve

i'm vibed on the send effects and happy that i have them to play with too in this way!

I'm amazed how many guitar tracks you have and also you put all the effects on first. Thats quite amazing how you know it and mind map it out in advance cool!!! Any comments on this be great thanks.

That accidental harmony this is so cool Steve! Great job on this.

I love your song

I was searching for the song hope makes us stronger but it's nowhere to be found

This was a beautiful podcast - both of your stories are very moving and inspiring. Thank you both!

This was great, Steve. You gave me some great ideas for things to try.

Gee Whiz Steve, you have hooks coming out of everywhere :) I'm off to start working on mine right now...

Fascinating to have a birds-eye view of your creative process. Saying 'thank you for sharing' doesn't quite cut it - it's a wealth of experience distilled into an hour...but thank you :) Now on to Part 3 :)

2023 is the year I'm striving to make it happen, starting here...

I'm a big fan of optimising my workflow. These little gems are worth their weight in gold, and also, the reason I'm looking forward to joining your course. Thanks Steve...

Hi Steve, so great and informative to see the production process in action...this info is invaluable...

Ahh, I'm a swamp/cajun fan, so this was such a nice surprise to know there is an outlet for this genre... Thanks Steve :)

Awesome work Steve from your former piano student Spencer I can now play the drums and guitar because of you. Thank you

Thanks for sharing Steve. Do always 'master' on your initial or 1st time bounce? I was always under the impression I had to bounce my mix 1st, then master 2nd.

Hi Steve, I'm listening on really small desktop speakers, but from here, the track without the console sounds slightly cleaner?

Hi Steve, thanks for this. What kind of mic are you using to record your acoustic guitar? Thanks!

Thanks for sharing Steve.

Hi Steve So great to see the creative process in action - working it out as you go along - taking a concept to a finished song. And along the way, we get to see that pros also tune guitars, and do retakes - the naked truth :) Heading over to your site now... Ric

Thanks for sharing Steve.🤙.

Why are they different takes? You know there can be so much unintended tonal variability in the voice, that it makes comparing mics via different takes kinda useless. Put the mics exactly next to eachother and multitrack record... itll be way more fairer. Unless you record super mega close, you can easily be in the sweetspot for both mics.

I got them wrong. Crazy

This is a good comparison between two great microphones. I also have a michael joly modded 219 and it is one of my favorite microphones for tracking vocals.

Very soothing to listen to, well done!

Beautiful song. Great voice!

Great song Steve!!! Is that one microphone recording both vocals and guitar? Sounds awesome bro!!

Thanks for the video, great tips!

hi

That's a fair bill on that cap mate

Sounding great Steve! What is that chair with the movable arms for playing guitar? That’s fantastic!

Lots of golden nuggets here. Great stuff.

Great video! 👍
