Hey there. I do have a link in my description, but since I did this video, it seems they may not be selling the cables anymore. I’m not actually sure about that. If you find out, let me know. It’s www.v2cables.com. I think you need to email them to order and they custom make them. But, like I said, I’m unsure if they’re still in business.

@@TheRecordist Yeah, I have been to that website. They don't list any dealers, or give prices. just an email address. I guess I'll try emailing them. Oh another question while I;m here, have you tried the Lauten Ckarion/ If so, do you think there is a setting on the Atlantis that might be close enough to the Clarion to use them together in a Blumlien configuration?

@ hey. Well, the clarion is the one Lauten mic I haven’t tried. It is next on my list to grab. But, for the Blumlein technique, they shouldn’t be that different to pull it off. Perhaps in the Neutral position.

You know, I have never tried that mic. So sorry about that.

@TheRecordist I got one at the pawnshop for $20 lol It quickly replaced my at2020 , which replaced my mxl 770. I feel like it's the better budget mic between the 3 imo

@ oh I don’t doubt the X1 would be better than those other two. I’ve found that sE Electronics makes some killer mics. I think I’ve loved every one I’ve tried.

Yes. It’s listens in 360. It requires the included 5-pin cable that converts to two 3-pin XLR cables. These cables plug into your interface. Then the plugin will convert the signal to dual mono. So each side of the recorded track will be the same. Then it’s only a matter of choosing one of the tracks and then you’ve got mono. So to be clear, it requires the plugin. Then it silences that other side if you choose the cardioid options. The plugin is like a mic polar pattern switch that you can choose later. So you can choose omni and it’ll combine both sides of the mic. Or you can choose cardioid and it’ll use only the front. Etc. So the plugin makes the mic mixable. Hope this helps!

@ Thank you very much i searched about this everywhere i also contacted UAD support they didn’t answer and you made all this long explanation thank youu 🥰 you are an amazing person and an amazing youtuber love your videos and thank you again

@ oh. Haha. Thank you very much! I appreciate that!

Yep. It’s a really bad mic.

Hey thanks so much!

Hey thanks! I don’t use Audacity. I did try it one time for a client and then quickly advised him to get another DAW. It is quite limited. Visual test? I don’t know if any to test the cartridge. I just need to hear it. I can tell you pretty quickly. Dynamic mic cartridges are pretty resilient. They’d need some serious damage to stop working.

@@TheRecordist thanks for the reply.. Much appreciated.

Hey there. Sure. I’ll try to get those. Cheers!

Hahaha. Thank you, sir! You don’t need to upgrade the F8n Pro. That’s a great recorder! Thanks again for the compliment!

Isn’t it though? It’s crazy!

So sorry I didn’t make this video to your preferred specifications. Thanks for the comment!

Hi John. That’s great! You’ll never look back! Snark is history! Cheers!

Hey there. Whatever was on the screen is what I did. I think I did.

I didn’t have plans to review it. I’m trying to stay away from cheaper marketed junk mics. These mics will end up in a landfill at some point. Hidden cheap mics from small companies are good. But these mass marketed Chinese mics are just not what I would ever recommend. Sorry about that.

Oh yes! Now that would be something!

Oh thank you very much! So appreciated, my friend! Cheers!

@@h.c.7799 that’s how it’s done. And it’s done this way for a reason. Time is money. A clean and dry signal to work with is always preferable to a wet one. Now, if we’re talking about film sets, then it’s sometimes a different story. Sometimes getting the sound of the room helps sell the story. Podcasts, radio, voiceovers, and voice acting prefer a dry signal. Is Disney doing it wrong?

I disagree. Mics and speakers remain virtually the same now as always. Mic choice is subjective. An sE V7 might feed back or cause signal-sourced harshness just as much as an SM58. At the end of the day, both are dynamic mics; a moving coil design. Same thing.

Sure. You can do that. It doesn’t become a 57, but it will change the sound for sure.

Might I suggest moving away from dynamics and on to large diaphragm condenser mics? Give the sE4400 a try.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Hey there. Well, both are fantastic mics. For me, I’d pick the Dachman DA 87i because it has more options that I would use (polar patterns, etc). It also has a really nice saturation due to the giant transformer in it. However, if I was looking for a clean all round use-for-anything mic, it would be the Mini K87. It’s smooth and rounded and has a really nice bottom end. Very pleasing to listen to. Remember, you can always add saturation but you can’t take it away. So, it would be up to you what you’d rather. They’re both great mics but totally different.

@TheRecordist thank you!!!

Oh that’s awesome! Fantastic! You know, I’ve been asked many times to review the SA800G (among a few other pieces of gear) and I even emailed @stamaudio7618 to let them know. We shall see!

@ we shall se my friend!

Hey there. I don’t have much experience with the MKE 600 but I can say that I doubt it’s as close as we’d want it to be, else the 416 would stop selling, and it hasn’t. It’s still a hugely selling mic. For more than 50 years now.

Hahah. No worries! I think you’ll love those cables! They’re fantastic!

Yes. They all have their different sounds. It’s quite amazing how there is a clear divide between viewers of this video. Some really love the Dachman and others really love the Stam. Others still, love the other polar patterns just as you’ve said. Very interesting!

@@TheRecordist it’s like they are not sounded linear when switching the polarity, it’s what I hear 😬

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Good tip! Hahahahaha

That’s great information! Thanks!

Oh wow. Thanks so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to tell me that! Cheers!

Hey there. That’s a good question. They hold my Apple AirPods 2. I crushed my last pair in my pants pocket. Then I kept them in my coat and would always forget them. This works out well. I also can stick my phone or items like flashlights or other things I need at the ready when I’m either on a shoot, or field recording, or anything really.

@@TheRecordist That is handy indeed. I could use something like that myself.

@@winnipegbandog I’m all about being prepared. Hahaha

Hey thanks! The drum VST I used was Steven Slate Drums 5.2 or something. It’s ok. I used all kinds of compression, EQ, and saturation to have to sit properly, so they don’t pop out that good. Haha. But thank you once again!

Hey thank you very much, Manuel! I really appreciate that!

Absolutely nothing sacred whatsoever. It’s the size of the room I was working with and the amount of padding I had to add. The measurements came after the room was sufficiently deadened. Haha.

Oh wow! See now that is a great idea! Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

Hey! Thanks very much! No lut. Just got tired of the warm lighting and magenta hue. I used a power grade to transform my B-RAW footage into Alexa footage and then took some magenta out. I’m still hunting for the look I want. Haven’t found it yet. Thanks very much for noticing!

My pleasure. Thank you for your openness and generosity to share your wways! Big fan

@@pacovillalta4910 much appreciated, my friend!

That’s a great idea! When I bought the curtains, I was going for a blue color but they didn’t have any in stock. I had to build it quick so I just went for black. The light colored curtains are a great idea! And $10 each for those blankets is a steal!

Hahahah

Yes. I got a deal on them so thought I’d try them. Total garbage. I could already tell when I received them. They’re just not dense enough.

@@TheRecordist what you can do is coat them to improve them. There are fabric latex paints (stinky though) as it might mean the air pockets/bubbles flex less. It wont do a great deal though tbf. Or soak a thinned acrylic paint/lacquer into them and let it set so they stiffen.

Hey thanks! And that’s great! Just make sure there aren’t any holes in the burlap that can cause some rockwool to shed. That stuff is very bad to breathe in. Your method is the one I originally wanted to do. And I might still do that. I just needed something up immediately so I did this. I prefer totally dead because I can create the room sound later in post, if needed. Great comment, Craig!

Hahaha. Sure! Send it to my email: recordist@thetps.ca Cheers!

Fantastic! And thanks, Barry!

Hahahahahaha! Well said! A booth is the best thing ever. Glad you have ventilation! It’s my next project!

Hey thanks! And no worries!

Hahahaha. Are you on the Cult of VO Discord?

@@TheRecordist Yes I am lol. I have posted a few of my youtube videos in the for likes thread.

Hey thanks! Well, there are booths on Ali Baba and Ali Express. They won’t do anything for sound proofing but they’ll definitely help with reflections.
