Neve vs API "Clone" PreAmp Shootout (Warm WA273 vs Capi VP312)
มุมมอง 14014 วันที่ผ่านมา
Here is a shoot out or comparison between a Neve style Preamp the Warm Audio WA273 and a API style Preamp the CAPI VP312. Neve is usually a more warmer sound while API is a more mid forward sound. I think these clones do a good enough job emulating the Neve and the API, in spirit anyway. I run multiple sources including Vocals, Snare, Kick and Mix Buss through both types of PreAmps to determine...

How do you mic an Acoustic Guitar? In this video I put up 5 mics in normal places to mic my Martin D-28 Acoustic Guitar. I run through the sounds of each microphone on the guitar and then when I find the good spots I mix them together for a final product in Reaper. Do you agree with my usage?

Auto Field Recording on a Rasberry Pi

Here I walk you through the process of setting up a Single Board Computer (SBC) to auto record out in the field. I am using a Le Potato from Libre Computers but you could also use a Raspberry Pi. A Rasberry PI 3, 4 and of course 5 would work perfectly. You will need to have an audio interface to handle the Analog to Digital conversion and have Reaper installed on the Pi with a valid licence.

I have a a pair of Event Studio Precision 8 And JBL 308 6.5 My Events are of need of repair sad to say. I put the 308's up and the bass is to Smeary. Is the Kali tighter ? because my events are just that...... hard to tell from your room....................thanks
I would say the lows are a bit tighter but not significantly. I mostly noticed how much clearer the mid range was.
@@redtonestudio2982 Thanks 👍
I sing a wide range of styles and have used the V67 for about 5-6 years and I've been impressed by its performance at this price range. Your assessment is right on.
Thanks for watching! It surprises me every time I use it!
Nice!
Nice collection, looks like you have all the bases covered.
Thanks for watching, but we both know there is always room on the table for a couple more! Ha ha
It's a sickness, but why not... BTW, you look and sound a lot like Dan Campbell the Lions coach!
Ha ha, this week alone I've been compared to a young Undertaker from WWE and now a football coach! I'm not complaining, it's better than the usual Ron Howard references my whole life!
Undertaker's (WWF/WWE) brother? What's up! I've always been curious about these microphones. Thanks for posting!
I guess I don't get the reference? Is he a giant ginger as well? ha ha. Thanks for watching!
@@redtonestudio2982 as soon as I saw you, "Undertaker's much younger brother" immediately came to mind LOL! He has a little bit of ginger mixed in with his otherwise dark brown hair...I think. Anyway, thanks again!
FMR is just the slightest bit clearer/smoother in the top end, but unless you're young you'd hardly notice that anyway
Thanks for watching, I'm getting pretty old now, so I couldn't hear it that much. Such is life....
GREAT JOB Red! I had no idea Reaper had these settings. It's obviously possible to take this further or even scale it down, for example - without having the auto macros, for whatever the need is. THANKS EDIT: Where's the "other channel" of yours?
Hey, what's your honest opinion of the V67 since you've had lots of time with it to compare to better mics, or more expensive I mean? I've always wanted to get a pair for a few things. Also, you can easily mod them to make them a little better, but I mean they seem to sound pretty good anyway hah. I wonder what kind of SPL's the circuit/Capsule can actually take.
I think they are great mics for the price and I'd love to have a pair of them just like you. I would worry though with being budget mics they wouldn't be very matched from one to the next. I've used them on electric cabs before blasting pretty hard, I feel they take a lot of abuse.
I like the MXL v67g as I could hear some highs on it.However the TH-cam quality on this recording isn't too good as both dont sound as good as I what I hear from other TH-cam videos.Sorry about it.
That is interesting, I'll have to check into what is going on. I do my best to make sure TH-cam doesn't apply any compression, as I render at thier recommended levels. Thanks for the feedback.
@ Yup. Sounding a bit thin. I will have to listen on my headphones I guess.
*WHAT ACOUSTIC GUITAR IS THAT ON THE INTRO and how was it recorded "signal chain"?*
It's been awhile but for sure it is my Martin D-28. Most likely it is mic'd by a AKG C414 into my FMR Audio RNP then into my interface a QU-16.
What do you think? Is this something you would use?
Hello and thank you for your effort with this test. It would be interesting if you could adjust the EQ curve of the MXL to that of the Warm Audio, because then we could hear much more clearly / more honestly how much better the Warm Audio actually resolves.
Thanks for the feedback, this could be something I incorporate into future videos!
The Warm preamp was indeed "warmer" with a midbass bump compared to the CAPI and the CAPI had some more high end, perhaps because there wasn't that midbass bump... I prefered the CAPI because of the smooth bass and clean high end but it still had that nice midrange saturation... Warm seemed muffled a bit in comparison... I'm listening on LP-6 monitors and Beyer 770s...
Thanks for watching! I am tending to agree with you the more I use them.
It's not fair for JBL 308 (2-way) to compare with a 3-way Kali IN-8..😅😅
That may be true, but they are similar enough in price where some might consider one or the other. I know my pick. Thanks for watching!
@@redtonestudio2982 Also, if you squint, the IN-8s look like two-ways. And if you squint harder, the JBLs don't look like carp. Same same ;) I got the Kali's for a project studio. Have APS Klassiks at home, but the IN-8 v2s do punch above their weight. The build could feel sturdier, but for the price I'm fine with simple build, if they are reliable and the sound is great. Glad they reduced the Class D noise and removed the standby problem the originals have (the reasons I didn't buy the OGs). Kali are clever here, because there isn't to my mind a competitor for the Kalis anywhere near the price. Things like Focal Evo 65 are 2-way AND a bit compromised in the treble. Dynaudio Lyd 5 is much weaker. ADAM 3-ways are nowhere near this price. The JBL 305s, 306 and Adam T5V, T7V are still great value propositions though and do sit well enough in the ballpark of the Kali LP6s. Adam build quality feels a bit sturdier than Kali & JBL, if you don't hate the AMT tweeter (I kinda like it).
Fathead is so iconic and tony
I'm not sure who Tony is, but the fat head does have that iconic ribbon sound! Thanks for watching!
@ tony is a jack of all trades lol
@jordanramsey5763 ha ha, learn something new everyday!
Perhaps you should look at a few videos from some other crafts people but what the heck. I guess it works. Not too sure what the next guy will do when they need to get the neck off.😂
Ha ha, I don't waste my time doing it right! Just glueing and praying over here! Thanks for watching!
Bro you sure you hooked everything up correct? there is literally no difference
Yep, I was adjusting each amp to get levels as close as possible. They are different but it's subtle. Make sure you are listening on good headphones or in a treated space.
CAPI has more bottom, feels fuller. In some cases it's almost like the WA is missing an octave.
The studio sound setup is paying off. Great job! Kinda Dwight Yokum does Reckless Kelly
Thanks for watching! I need to get these guys back together for a few more songs...
most definately! ya'll sound great!
On these sources the AKG was my favorite on everything except for the drum room mic where the Warm Audio sounds incredible. Given a different singer and guitar my preferences might change. Both are good sounding mics to my ears, just voiced a bit differently.
I mostly agree, but I like the warm more for my vocals...
C414 sounds more full
I'd agree!
Mic a crispy
Just like KFC chicken! Thanks for watching.
A MXL, and B AKG
You've got them backwards! Thanks for watching!
A is the MXL, and B is WA47.
You've got them backwards, good to know that they are similar enough to both sound good. Thanks for watching.
The LCT 240 is almost always immediately identifiable. It's extremely bright and has a certain crispy metallic sheen to it. Very fatiguing on spoken word without heavy de-essing.
Yep, I can hear that a bit. I'd say it's still a decent mic for the price, but it usually is on my shelf these days. Thanks for watching!
seems like the jbl have no mids and the kali have boosted mids, not sure if i like either. not sure. I have the jbl 305p but I dont get great results in the bass. maybe its my room. im thinking about the yamaha hs8 now.
Sitting in the room I know fairly well, I didn't notice a huge bump in the mids when going to the Kali's but the clarity really made a big difference. I had the 305s before the 308s and I liked the mids better on them than the larger speakers, so you might be on to something. It sounds like you may need a sub or a larger speaker, but room acoustics are the most important factor! Thanks for watching!
These old arch top guitars have a unique sound, very different than a flat top, so do not expect to get a flat top sound Also, use acoustic guitar strings. Electric strings do not compliment an acoustic in most cases. I would use 11 - 52 or thereabout.
I wanted to use acoustic strings but didn't have any laying around, also I use 13s on my guitars, and didn't want to go too much tension just in case. Thanks for watching!
I really loved the subs from this JBL... but the highs were piercing lol.... I am into the IN-8 for a long time now.... maybe with the bass eq in dip switch will get my lows the way I like on the NI-8s
I'm getting more than enough lows without a sub with these! Thanks for watching!
@@redtonestudio2982 Thats great to know! IN-5 is also an option, cause of lack of space, but having an 8-woofer is delicious, my HS8 sounds amazing on the subs. However, my LP6 have tighter bass (40-100hz) in my home studio. As I am selling everything and moving abroad, I'm really considering to get IN-5 or IN-8
The kick was great, I really like that comparison, and quite frankly it's inspired me to try out all the condensers I have on my kick. Now, I don't want to sound like a jerk but with the way you were playing the whole kit, it wasn't realistic and didn't really reveal anything interesting about either mic imo. Drummers typically play with the volume and tone and reaction of the room to the whole kit altogether, kind of like you wouldn't just pluck guitar strings at low to soft velocities randomly to demonstrate the sound of a guitar. Sorry, but I hope that helps. Loved the rest of it, though. My most recent mic purchase was a WA-67 and it easily became one of my favorite mics.
You have found me out! I have no idea what I am doing while drumming. You have seen everything I can do with a drum set... Thanks for watching and the feedback!
FYI the bridge is not supposed to be glued on its a floating bridge held down by string tension movable for intonation. I have 4 of these guitars ranging from 1944 to 1968 Made in America and made to last ❤ I didn't understand why when you had the neck off why you didn't reset the angle.
I left the bridge unglued, that is what I figured it should be, I had to really cock it to get it to intonate correctly. I probably should have checked the neck angle, but I just put it back to where it was. To me the string hieght is quite good now, I don't think it needs a different angle. Thanks for watching!
In my opinion, the MXL is better because it has a linear and natural sound.
Interesting, it is a great mic and crystal clear. I prefer the color of the tube circuit, but each their own. Thanks for watching!
@@redtonestudio2982 ✌🙏
Which method do you prefer recording?
The one I use the most is just the two panels behind me when I sing or play guitar. It is the easiest to setup and I don't feel as trapped in. Thanks for watching!
can you share the blueprints for this studio desk? i would like to build one similar like this!! it's amazing!!
I am more than happy to share the Blueprints. You have found me already on Facebook and Instagram. Thanks for watching!
super wykonane mnie podoba się kolor mahoń adekwatny do Retro zależy jak komu taki kolor pasuje i podoba się serdecznie pozdrawiam i zostawiam łapke w górę miłego dnia
Thanks for watching. I too like the color, it fits well with the rest of my studio I think.
Thanks for your service, much appreciated! ❤
Thanks for watching!
The AKG 414 has completely different characteristics, the MXL is more of a Neumann TLM 102/103 clone. Besides, the price difference alone is insane, while MXL still holding up well enough against AKG or Neumann. Unbelievable for a sub $100 micro! ❤
Thanks for watching
I sold out my warm wa8000 and i stayed with mxl v67g .. direct to an interface appolo works much better .i dont know why but it happens 🎉
Thanks for watching! The MXL is a great mic, no matter the low price.
I am curious how these stack against the LSR 4328
I would be curious as well, but I have no experience with them. If I am ever offered a set I'd love to shoot them out as well. Thanks for watching!
If you don’t want to go in ceiling’s for the front and rear heights ( living room set up ) would bookshelf speakers on the front and back wall pointed at the listing poison be ok
Hard to say, I only mix in stereo. Adding more speakers makes the room harder to treat...
Brought back from the dead. I have a similar old archtop found in an abandoned house. Neck is seriously loose but heat and pressure hasn't let me remove the neck even though it's loose. Feels like it has a fastener. I have done the hammer and block without success. Still considering more aggressive methods.
Good luck! I'm surprised this one came off as easy as it did. It did break off a bit as you can see in the video, but mostly intact. Who knows what has happened in the last 50 years, so somebody may have put a screw in there somewhere. Thanks for watching, I hope you get it resurected!
V67 is value sounds good
Yep, for the price it is a great mic!
What do you think of the wa47 vs tlm103
I don't have a tlm 103, the seem to be very popular. I've seen a bunch on facebook marketplace though. I should pick one up sometime and do a shoot-out...

@@redtonestudio2982 awesome I will check them out now ! I had the 305's and they were good ,didn't care for the Yamahas much
Yeah, they will be cursing you. Using Titebond II which is water resistant it makes it hard for someone trying to get the glue to soften with steam. That is why people use Titebond original with the red label.

Kali - the best🎉
The best here anyway, I'm sure I could spend more and get better ones, but for now I'm happy. Thanks for watching!
@@redtonestudio2982 If you ever think of moving up a notch or two later in price, and don't mind two-ways, rather than three ways, I definitely recommend considering the APS Klassik 2020s, from Poland, at around 1200 a pair. I love my Kali IN-8 v2, but the APS Klassik 2020s do beat them slightly in some ways. They have tighter bass / while somehow deeper, they're louder, better built, and the soundstage and midrate is more open. HEDD Type 07s are a step up above that again too, at around 1800 a pair. Even so, I don't think the IN-8 v2 is significantly lacking compared to those, considering they cost 1/2 to 1/3 the price of those. They are more than 80% of the way there.
Mic A sounded like it had more presence (high frequencies) and articulation through good headphones. But, I don't think it's enough of a difference for most people to notice unless they're heard side by side as you have done on this video.
Thanks for watching! I agree they are close, I still perfer the WA-47 but like you said, most people won't notice.
I had one just like that. Got it from a Salvation Army thrift store that my ex worked at. She saw it and grabbed it. Mine had a sort of tiger striped paint job on it. Had for a while there till it just wore out. Lol.
Which wore out? The guitar or your ex? 😅😅Thanks for watching!
Only problem with the 990 was the self noise. mine doesn't sound that noisy tho so idk if there's something wrong with the chain or mine is a golden sample. The WA-47 sounded better in all aspects but I figure it suprises no one!
Yep, it was no surprise to me as well. The self noise can be quite an issue on low output sources, once you are recording amps or drums though that goes away quickly. You have to be careful of stacking up that same noise though if it is your only mic. Thanks for watching!
@@redtonestudio2982would you say this could be a problem for vocal recording?
@@sophiarayne for sure, vocals are usually very dynamic, lots of loud parts lots of quiet parts. Then usually you add a lot of compression bringing up that noise floor.
