Getting Great Live Vocals with Mic Mechanic
Today we'll take a look at TC Helicon's "Mic Mechanic". For me this the ultimate vocal pedal, having a good compressor, auto eq plus great reverbs and delays in a very easy to use package. Users can quickly dial up the desired settings without diving into buried menus. If you don't want to rely on someone else to control the effects, if you're playing on house PA gear, if you just want a consistent vocal sound.... the Mic Mechanic may be the pedal for you. I'll demo the pedal towards the end using a wired Shure SM58.

Good job, my man! You’ve got this thing dialed. Great singing too! I’ve gotta have one. 👍
I just don't get it. I really don't care which media I listen to, vinyl has got expensive compared to CDs. That's not counting that you've got to buy something to play it on. Now, which one do you think I buy?
Great video. What are you using to store your CD's. That cabinet is looks great....just wondering what it is. Thanks.
Love the review, just turn the music way down next time. Sorry to be that guy, it was really annoying trying to pay attention.
Hi Marc. Sounds awesome. Can you explain your full setup, please? I'm curious about what flow/chain produces this kind of sound.

@@danielgrenier2417 yes… amazing pedal
Really cool sound 👍🏾
Depends how good your DAC is or how good your vinyl rig is or how well the album was recorded mixed and mastered etc. My rule is if the music was recorded mixed and mastered digitally i buy the CD and play it back digitally If it was all analog i buy a vinyl copy and play it on an analog setup. All i can tell you is my best sounding Vinyl records sound better than my best sounding CDs and both my setups cost about the same.
@@crazyprayingmantis5596 curious what your vinyl setup consist of? I wanna update in the future…
I grew up with records. They weren't called vinyl. I was so pleased when CDs were invented. So much more clarity and silence is silence not crackle. Then I saw videos trying to tell me records sound better. I'm sorry but I trust my own hearing and sense. Thank you for an honest video. I sometimes still listen to my old records though for nostalgia sake.
Nice voice dude! ~

Why do people hate Taylor idk why
My vinyl record player was only 40.00 and it’s fantastic I love it it’s a portable vinyl player
I had a huge vinyl collection but the surface noise issue; the rumble; the hiss; the cracks and pops; the warping - the fact that every play wore away the high frequency (only takes 15 plays to significantly decline) and that every play destroyed the vinyl surface due to friction and dust attracted by static; the fact that no record is ever able to be centered causing its own problems of wow and flutter; the fact that classical vinyl sounds poor; the fact that the quality of the vinyl varies between producers; the fact that vinyl is poor regards BASS - All that and the cost and hassle of the various components to try and solve these problems (anti-static sleeves; needles; lubricants etc) made me steer away from it. The warmth argument I've never understood - maybe its a love of surface noise??? And lets not talk about the price of records v CDs - OMG!
Good job Marc!

Good to see you shouting out Vinyl Moon! I have been a subscriber for 4 years and just re-upped for the 5th. I’ve also bought several records they have pressed for individual albums from some of the artists they have featured. I love how they give artists money AND exposure, and it’s probably the expense I feel best about.

Loved it. ❤I am gonna buy it for the church in two months
@@RubenSinghHOPE-MUSIC it’s a great little instrument! Perfect for most churches
Ludwig will always be No.1 , I use the Ludwig Blackrolite model , Ludwig brought back there original 18 strand 1963 fine wire snares, that's way their drums have the bright crisp sound. If you like a crisper brighter sound for jazz lighter playing or with brushes use the Remo Diplomat thinner head, but it won't take have hitting, it will dent in the plastic head with hard playing
@@tripacer2005 I’m gonna switch out my wires! What head do you use for normal rock styles?….
I think you mean a rim tap. A rimshot is hitting the snare drum and the rim at the same time for a "cracky" backbeat. Thanks for explaining your church kit!

You nailed it. I stopped watching football because I could not tolerate the hate toward her and the comparisons to Kelce’s ex who keeps showing her T and A for a living and is trying to hurt another woman. Friggin’ football is so male oriented that many red neck imbeciles cannot stand that she is a super success and also a normal person. She truly is a gifted writer and I am not a pop fan but I recognize literary gifts. She is also most likely a genius. It helps that she is very pretty too.
Can't hear a single word you are saying with all that background music.
Actually, all of Brian Wampler's drive pedals are killing some other brand's flagship pedals!
Idk. I love Wampler but some of their stuff can be hit or miss. The Paisley, the Gearbox and Moxie impressed me while the Paisely Deluxe, Plexi Drive Mini and Pantheon Deluxe all disappointed me
@@PedalPoopers the original Plexi-Drive pedal is one of the best drive pedals I've ever used. It replaced a Boss BD-2w, which was my favorite drive pedal at the time. On the other hand, I don't like TS-9s so it's pretty easy to convince me that any alternative is better.
Well, I think records are more collectible (generally), but CDs are more handy, convenient, and versatile. As far as quality, records are the more "natural" sound due to being literally the soundwave etched to the plastic. But CD sound is immune to the scratches, pops, and hisses vinyl is often known for, making for a more pristine listening experience. What do I buy? CDs, usually, because they tend to be a lot cheaper, take up less space, and will last a lot longer.
Yes cds 💿 can last for a long time as long as u take care of it and not scratch it too much
Hello dear I have seen your channel videos. Your video quality is very nice and the videos are Awesome. But I noticed one thing that your videos are not getting views, subscribers, watch-time, like, engagement properly. There are several reasons why videos don't get engagement and don't go viral. 1. Your channel videos are not properly optimized and SEO done. 2. Title and description are not properly SEO friendly and optimized. 3. Ranked keywords are not used in videos. 4. Keywords are not used properly in the keyword section of the channel. By updating the issues, the videos of the channel will go viral and the channel will grow. By using the perfect keywords, TH-cam's algorithm will take your videos to the top on TH-cam. If you want I can fix all the problems. We have big digital marketing agency Waiting for your reply.

I don't think you're getting the best sound possible with this configuration, man. There's a clashing of the bass notes, it's all rumbly and shaky, but without a firm feeling of a distinct, singular bass tone underneath the guitar chord. I think it's mostly your chord voicings, they need to be adapted for that sort of playing. For example, you play a C/G instead of C, with the low 6th string, I suggest a regular C, even muting the 4th string to bring more separation and clarity to what will become the low-end. Think of the bottom 3 strings as a bass guitar: you don't want your bassist to play 2 strings at the same time, abeit for rare exceptions :) So yeah, that's what I'd do - try to minimize the polyphony in the lowest voices and add clarity to the mix.
I say CDs, LPs/records, LP records. Single, record single, cd single.
Great sound and nice vocal chain!
Collecting vinyl is a form of masochistic nostalgia for those who grew up with vinyl and for those who didn't, it's just a trend that trend-obsessed people can't rationally explain to themselves. Some traditions should be kept in life, but some should be unloaded immediately after something better appears. There are few things in my life that make me as angry as the insane manipulation of digital music files by record companies in order to attract listeners. Of course, I'm talking about the loudness war. With this process, the vast majority of the advantages that the digital music file had over the analog music carrier were destroyed and the CD was compromised. Man creates, man destroys... A CD can sound absolutely like vinyl if it is mastered in the same way, and it can sound much better if the full dynamic range available is used. It can sound like garbage if compressed. There should be a law with mandatory jail time for idiots who abuse digital mastering and produce such crap. But today there are remastered editions of music coming out on CD that respect the dynamic range and correct the old, crappy editions. As for me, I'm a 58 year old man who grew up in the vinyl era and would rather have acute hemorrhoid attacks every 5 days than go back to back to those objects of torture and frustration. Nowadays I buy cds obsessively in bulk on eBay and wherever I can find them because I want to own music. If I like something I'm streaming, I buy a CD.
I grew up with vinyl records and wouldn't want them ever again. This is fantasised nostalgia from young fools who believe in junk or fit in trends. The loudness war was a phenomenon in the pop industry, not a necessary consequence of the medium. The classical world was never affected.
Vinyl sells more, but half of those vinyl buyers don't own a turntable, so just collectors. I have recently decided to stick with digital formats including CD, SACD and DSD downloads. DSD sounds as good or better than vinyl (IMO) without any of the drawbacks of noisy, scratched or flawed pressings (yes, even those from Acoustic Sounds and MoFi at $60 a pop). SACD is close. I'll keep my turntable and albums but will rarely buy vinyl at this point.
Why talk about “MP3 file formats”? Flac is far superior as it’s lossless. You don’t mention the price difference and the ability to rip perfect FLAC copies from a CD. However, Many CDs are brick walled in terms of sound.
I didn’t mean for this particular video to get into the weeds of digital file formats… simply mentioned that those formats also sound great
Maybe if you have high end equipment and a warp free pressing, from a very good analog master. I don't see the point of digital files mastered to vinyl. Though I do know people who swear by digital recordings on vinyl.

topic covered 6 million times by 2023 on youtube.
Of course CD's are better. No question.
For me I'm not an audiophile in the slightest so sound quality I'm not really bothered. It's more storing, handling and price that's the deal breaker for me... I only get my favourite favourite albums on vinyl and get duplicates + everything else on CD, sometimes cassette. Because vinyl just takes up SO! Much room! You can fit like 100 CD's in the space 30 vinyl records take up. Plus vinyl if you don't get special shelves can be a pain in the ass to store, falling over on themselves at a whim, even if you have book ends and stuff holding them up so you constantly need to make sure they're all leaning in a way to balance eachother out without too much pressure at either end. Vinyl in general is SO much more expensive, like 2-5 times the price per album. Handling them can be such a pain, fiddling to get them in and out their sleeves without damaging the sleeves or the disc.. or hell trying not to drop the sleeves or disc since they're such awkward shapes in the hand. Trying hard not to catch them on anything to avoid such easy damage to the disc. Having to constantly be wiping the dust and hairs off them before you can spin a side, and static... uuuggghhh static is such a pain in the ass. But... vinyl records just look really nice in your hand, they have more art work, they feel special and they're very fascinating to spin. And although they're such a pain in so many ways, it's these good points that keeps me buying my favourites on them. But I rebuy every single album I have on vinyl on CD too because I often just cannot be bothered to deal with the annoyances of vinyl. While a CD, even a cassette, I can just stick in and play no problem.
In 1975, the average single LP record album cost $7.50. That's the equivalent of $45 today. Very few albums today cost $45. Good pressings cost 20 to 30 dollars, most closer to 20. CDs are cheaper, but records aren't expensive. And you get so much more with record albums. There was a time before the internet, and before CDs, when we learned of bands from the album covers and liner notes. Often, booklets were included with special releases. We knew every name of everyone in a band. CDs came in, with very little information included. Then, downloads, then streaming. Nobody knows anything about the band members. They might know the lead singers name, but little else. The skip button got worn out, searching for the hit singles. We used to know and love every song on an album. And there are a lot of bands that have one good song with a lot of filler that would've ended up in the trash, once upon a time. Now we have all the digital aids that make terrible singers into rock stars. Digital technology has damaged the industry. I own a lot of digital content, but I am back to buying record albums 90% of the time. I still have albums I purchased new in the 70s that sound great.
