Hi Friends, this is a very exciting episode for me because we’re reviewing a BRAND NEW MIC! At least it’s brand new to me! haha I got a call from John Jennings over at Royer a few days ago and he said "Hey, we have a $499 ribbon mic that I’d love for you to try." This $499 ribbon mic is called the R-10, which is what we’re taking a look at today. Not only did they send us one to try out and review, but they’re also going to send one of YOU an R-10!
Andrew does a better job than my tripod. If you hadn't told us he was holding the camera I would have been so shocked when the camera started moving randomly!
Sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my password. I love any help you can give me!
Sometimes I don't record anything because I spend all day watching your videos jajajajjaa I feel like different person every time I touch my studio after watching ,10 to 20 of your videos a day thank you very much
I have one and LOVE it. Great on just about anything. It does have a very exaggerated proximity effect so if it seems boomy just move it back at bit. Also, you can turn it around and use the back side for a brighter sound or if you need to be really up close to the source. I WILL be buying another so I can have a pair for stereo micing.
My current go-to acoustic mic set up is a Royer R122 and a AKG414 with the capsules aligned in the basic positions Warren is using here. I love the Royer!
the thing i look for the most is how much the fight between the pick and the strings is heard. a little is ok but if its a lot and the transient is too snappy so i avoid that mic for acoustic. seems like the r10 is a good fit.
Hi Warren, I am thinking about adding this Mic to my home studio... Would I need a preamp with extra amounts of gain in order to use this (such as Warm Audio TB12)? Or would it be OK with my Roland Octacapture with 50db of gain?
Thank you for the constant content. What kind of mic set up would you suggest for recording brass instruments? Small diaphragm or large condenser mic? Was looking at Lewitt mics but I have a $150 budget. Don't know if a new or used mic would be a better route for me. Sorry for the long and specific question but may be good for a Q&A video in the future.
garret765 marvellous question! With $150 I would look at Dynamic Mics, probably even used mics. I don’t have a favourite in that price range. With Brass there can be a huge amount of SPL, so I would start with using affordable Dynamics and then build your collection from there.
Wow, It sounds great! If I were mic'ing a Gibson Songwriter acoustic and I wanted to get a full-bodied sound (for solo guitar & vox), would it be recommendable to use 2 of those mic's (using the front and back of each mic respectively)?
I love your work Warren. Curious though about the microphone tests being done. Do you ever feel the need to turn off your vocal mic while trying to highlight these mics? Or maybe it doesn't matter?
Hi Warren. If you're not fed up with them I have a question for you on recording acoustic guitar! Specifically 12 string acoustics. Is you're approach to recording 12 string acoustic guitars different than 6 string? I pretty much mic them the same way, just wondering if you do anything a little different with it.
What a beautiful and amazing sounding microphone. I'd love to use one. I was always a little sceptical about a figure of 8 pattern, but its sound is just gorgeous. And the examples you showed were great. Just to satisfy my curiosity, did you have done compression on it? I noticed some LEDs flashing in the background, which would not change my opinion about the mike or your great presentation. I know, you only endorse products you really like. Thanks!
Not sure if you'll get to this comment Warren (and I know this review happened over a year ago), but out of curiosity, do you have much post processing on the audio? I'm considering getting one of these mics and love the sound that comes out of this microphone. Is it good on vocals too?
I've never used a ribbon mic; and I noticed you had it right on the electric guitar cab. Do ribbons handle SPL better in comparison to condensers? Update: Just read your article on Produce Like A Pro .com and SPL up to 160 @ 1KHz.. cool!
Hi Chris Martinez , I am going to try it on a Bass Amp! I'm actually expecting it to work very well! Plus for overheads it's going to perform great as well!
Whats your exp with artist who are under the influence of a stimuli and u know they can perform better "sober (or less sober)" and what do you u do to make them perform to their max wnhen u know they are great but dont use their full potential on a recording ?
Hi Christian, marvellous question! My experience has informed that a sober singer sonically sounds better, however they may have terrible stage fright and perforce anxiety so they feel that being 'buzzed' helps them relax. Best to build a firm relationship with your artist so you can get best vocals from them!
According to Sound-on-Sound "Royer’s patented R-series ‘offset ribbon’ technology" is responsible for the "slightly different tonal (and maximum SPL-handling) characteristics for sounds arriving at the front and rear". While this imbalance bugs me a little, it's good to know that this is an intentional 'feature' not an unintentional 'bug'.
A FEARLESS review! Great job Warren. Back in the day doing FOH, I would make all kinds of sounds into the lead vocal mic to get a REAL feel of the house response. Loved it when you put away the guitars and started "vocalizing". FEARLESS.........what ever it takes to get the sound you want.
Sounds good. Have you tried a Cascade Fathead II ribbon? I have one and it's awesome. I think it would be a good one for you to take a look at on your show.
Hi Hans, I didn't have to put it super close. Of course you can experiment and try it any way that sounds great! Personally I wouldn't stick a ribbon extremely close to a very loud guitar cab, it won't quite have the SPL that a dynamic would have.
Great review, hope I get it this time! Warren, I have a question in regards to some of the files on the Pro Mix Academy. These are .ptx files and cannot open them. What do they contain? How can I go about opening these? I run Reaper on Windows, as far as my understanding goes, .ptx files are from Pro Tools (?). Can I see them in windows? Thanks ever so much in advance for your help!
Hi Jules, marvellous question! The files are ALL consolidated so can be dragged into any DAW. The .ptx file is not Audio, it's just the DAW session for Pro Tools. On Reaper it's not any help to you, you have everything you need with your set up pulling the Wave files in!
But an Oktava ML 51, remove the transformer for under 200 bucks tops. And stick an Oktava 012 under 200 tops about two feet away and I haven’t heard anything better for a cranked Marshall. Fat and beefy close up w ribbon and bright it up with the 012. That ribbon gets all the knarly rip without the hissssss...might have to HPF a little. Plenty of bright with 012 if needed.
Sterling Audio makes a ribbon, ST170. I have no ribbons and have considered that but I'd rather buy one "better" mic than a less expensive one if the price/performance is worth the added expense. Anyone here used the ST170? Any chance of a review here on PLAP? Thanks for any input!
First, I want to say you're really talented.You are doing very great work, I love your style.Inspired From You,I Also wanna make videos but the thing is i dont have a mic.I Have really learned and wanna get this mic but its a giveaway so yeah.Thank You For All You Have Done. Cries In Real Life
If only I could get one of these babies by the weekend, as I'm planning to give another go at recording my bandmate playing acoustic on Sunday. (The last attempt turned out sounding like drek.) I was waiting for you to do the screaming part of "I've Got A Feeling".
Aw, c'mon. Give it a go. What you got to lose? Worse comes to worse, you can say you're putting the mic through the ultimate torture test, like the gorilla jumping up and down on the suitcase in the old commercial. 😜
@@Producelikeapro It's been a while that I subscribed your channel and I really love the material that you share with us. Specially, when you explain that how do you actually make music, mixing and remixing and all to use different different equipments. I love music tho by my birth and your videos are so inspiring for me. Keep doing good work Man !! ^^
I was really surprised and wondered why you had never reviewed or at least mentioned these mics before. A new Royer mic and for $500 and nobody was all over it like I was?!? I won’t be entering the contest because I already bought 2 of these a while back... hand numbered and everything. I really like them....Great on guitars or even as drum overheads etc. So glad you finally got around to talking about these great new mics.
thank you for reminding me bud, will do, just watching and learning from you is the greatest thing I get given so the chance to get anything else is an extra bonus, thanks again for all you do for us Warren, its much appreciated.
"Take your little brother swimming with a brick, that's alright... Your mammy and your daddy gonna plague me 'til I die, they can't understand it, I'm just a peace loving' guy..." Sheer bloody poetry....
Both of them was given by the same British Scientist :) he said it much easier to say Aluminium but the original was Aluminum. England was saying Aluminum and USA Aluminium but that one dominated :) I love this kind of topics it makes people look like they progress and progress its good :)
Hi DanielC, you should dig a little deeper in your research! It went through THREE names from 1807 until 1812 when Davy decided upon Aluminium. 'Aluminum' is considered to be easier to pronounce and was adopted by Webster well after the final name of Aluminium was chosen. In fact the US didn't officially adopt it until 1925, 118 years after it was first discovered and 113 years after it was officially named and used by the whole of the rest of the world. Haha yes, fun times! Lot's of words have been changed to an easier pronunciation in the US, that's definitely where we are going in the future, a general simplifying of language.
I just sent you a email. I released a reggae album in 2014 and it made it to number ten for two weeks on the top ten billboard international reggae charts. And your channel and vids took my mixes and concepts to the next level on that album I always share your videos and knowledge I have learned to others I know And I especially turn the noobies on to you as well. You’re a gem and a treat. Cheers mate. From Kansas City. !! Love ya man
Peter Brandt these days $300 Mics to $500 Mics can do almost every job! The world is changing fast! The Lewitt LCT940 is a Tube and Fet adjustable mic! It’s a great time to be making music!
Definetly, I was just thinking of what I paid for my AKG mic many years ago, which I use mainly for vocals and while this was to be considered as quite a decent mic, now it's fallen into the cheap-ish pit :). You speak about $300, but this is not even the bottom. There are mics around 100€ - not only from Behringer - which sound ok. Speaking of Behringer, they even sll or sold a case, with pop filter, some bits and peaces and a condenser below that. I never used it pn my ohn, but from what I heard, it seems to be ok.
Hi Peter Brandt yes, some of the cheapest mics can give you great results! In that 1k ish price range there is so many amazing mics, like the Lewitt LCT940, Roswell and many more!

Thanks ever so much Spitfire Music!
Andrew does a better job than my tripod. If you hadn't told us he was holding the camera I would have been so shocked when the camera started moving randomly!
haha!
Yeah he was super steady
Yes, watching it back I'm pretty darn impressed with his camera skills!

Thats great to hear Daniel! Thank you for watching my friend! Make sure you enter to win this lovely microphone!
Glad to see companies coming up with products that cost less than normal. It really helps us home studio artists out. Nice mic!
META MUTT I agree! There are so many great products now that sound amazing and are affordable! We live in a great time!
I have one and LOVE it. Great on just about anything. It does have a very exaggerated proximity effect so if it seems boomy just move it back at bit. Also, you can turn it around and use the back side for a brighter sound or if you need to be really up close to the source. I WILL be buying another so I can have a pair for stereo micing.
Toby Ellis thanks ever so much! Great to hear your experience with the mic!
Thanks Warren, I think I like the "backside" of this mic a little better because it seems render more detail to the vocals.
Hi Audrey, I liked both sides, it's wonderful it has such a wide choices of tone!
Great sounding mic in that price range. Thank you for the wonderful demo and for playing your Brian May guitar!
David Allen Hammond thanks ever so much my friend!!
I often find myself needing a mic that can add some low mids for me so I can see how this mic would be really useful to have in one's home studio.
Make sure you enter to win Meta!!
OMG! Good luck to everybody, and good video Warren!!
Good Luck Irving!!!
I bet Warren won't be able to sleep the night before the Queen movie comes out. It's like Christmas for him :-)
Haha yes, indeed Meta! You are correct!
My current go-to acoustic mic set up is a Royer R122 and a AKG414 with the capsules aligned in the basic positions Warren is using here. I love the Royer!
Thanks ever so much Scott! You Rock!
It would be great if a review video like this also featured an old standby like an SM57 for comparative listening. Thanks for what you do!
Excellent idea David! I did do a video somewhat like that:- th-cam.com/video/Zk7DBwJoIYM/w-d-xo.html In it I sue a whole variety of Ribbon Mics!
That’s a really good idea I think.
I did a shootout between the Royer and a cheaper Sterling ribbon!
Paired with a 57 might sound fantastic.
Definetly has a lot of bottom end
Hi Andre, yes, I love the low end and yes, paired with an SM57 it will also sound great!
the thing i look for the most is how much the fight between the pick and the strings is heard. a little is ok but if its a lot and the transient is too snappy so i avoid that mic for acoustic. seems like the r10 is a good fit.
Thanks Royer and Warren for the wonderful giveaway!

Yes! Make sure that you also enter to win! A pair would be nice!
Sounds killer Warren! you need more of your guitar playing on the channel so I can steal more licks.
Hi Herrefink aw shucks thanks ever so much!
Is there a difference in the low end response of the microphone between the front and back sides?
Robert Simpson yes, indeed. If you watch the full video you’ll see the front has more low end and the back slightly less

qantaresmusic I’m not sure..maybe? You could use them in stereo.
I love your work Warren. Curious though about the microphone tests being done. Do you ever feel the need to turn off your vocal mic while trying to highlight these mics? Or maybe it doesn't matter?
Thanks ever so much Rick! I do mute my lapel mic when I'm recording the guitar sound, so you will only be hearing the Royer then.
Hi Warren. If you're not fed up with them I have a question for you on recording acoustic guitar! Specifically 12 string acoustics. Is you're approach to recording 12 string acoustic guitars different than 6 string?
I pretty much mic them the same way, just wondering if you do anything a little different with it.
Hi Dicey, marvellous question! I usually record them exactly the same way as a 6 string!
These are awesome but I have a question about mic “types.” How does the ribbon mic compare to a FET mic on vocals?
the back sounded great on 12/14 fret pos!
Realraven2000 I agree 100%!

Update: Just read your article on Produce Like A Pro .com and SPL up to 160 @ 1KHz.. cool!
As I understand, you need to be careful using ribbon mics with high SPLs since its internal ribbon is really thin, and it can break
There is no problem using it with low/medium volume guitar amps, I wouldn't use it as a bass nor drum mic though
Hi Chris Martinez , I am going to try it on a Bass Amp! I'm actually expecting it to work very well! Plus for overheads it's going to perform great as well!
what pre are you running it through? I have one and it works wicked with a solo 610
Hi Rick great video. What preamp / interface was this mic ran through ?
Warren, I've heard that with Ribbon mics, it should be angled back a bit. Your thoughts on that?
Hi Zach, I would definitely mess with the placement and get the best sound for you!
Warren, do you have an opinion of USB vs analog microphones? Thanks so much for your videos.
Marvellous question! I'll have to do a direct comparison!
Lol! “We’re big, we’re bad, we’re back!” I love it!
Haha thanks ever so much!
White strings are you using on the acoustic?
Whats your exp with artist who are under the influence of a stimuli and u know they can perform better "sober (or less sober)" and what do you u do to make them perform to their max wnhen u know they are great but dont use their full potential on a recording ?

I have that same Brian May VBM-1 amp. I love it! The mic sounds good... really good.
Sounds good. Have you tried a Cascade Fathead II ribbon? I have one and it's awesome. I think it would be a good one for you to take a look at on your show.
Clinton Maher thanks ever so much for the tip! Yes, I used the Cascade on the Aerosmith album I did! It sounded very cool!
Great video as always Warren! Royer R10 sounds amazing! I would love to get a pair of these.
Kevin Dietz I would highly recommend it!!
Nice comprehensive demo Warren. Appreciate the breakdown. Pretty cool offering from Royer.
I brought the R-10 mic back. Couldn’t find a use for it. So saved the money. In fact I just rent mics now. So much cheaper
Lovely microphone; it brings out upper bass and the mid - range, like full boded claret wine
Yes, wonderful mic for the money!!

Thanks ever so much Native Gringo!
So a ribbon mic doesn't need to be right up to the grill cloth?
Hi Hans, I didn't have to put it super close. Of course you can experiment and try it any way that sounds great! Personally I wouldn't stick a ribbon extremely close to a very loud guitar cab, it won't quite have the SPL that a dynamic would have.
Cool mic with a nice bite in high middle, worked killer on acoustic, gave great character.

DanielC hahahaha I actually asked a Scientist friend, he said Aluminium and have the reason for the other version as ‘easier to pronounce’.
Both of them was given by the same British Scientist :)
he said it much easier to say Aluminium but the original was Aluminum.
England was saying Aluminum and USA Aluminium but that one dominated :)
I love this kind of topics it makes people look like they progress and progress its good :)
Hi DanielC, you should dig a little deeper in your research! It went through THREE names from 1807 until 1812 when Davy decided upon Aluminium. 'Aluminum' is considered to be easier to pronounce and was adopted by Webster well after the final name of Aluminium was chosen. In fact the US didn't officially adopt it until 1925, 118 years after it was first discovered and 113 years after it was officially named and used by the whole of the rest of the world. Haha yes, fun times! Lot's of words have been changed to an easier pronunciation in the US, that's definitely where we are going in the future, a general simplifying of language.
Super cool stuff warren
Thanks Mateo! You rock my friend! Make sure you enter to win this mic!
I just sent you a email. I released a reggae album in 2014 and it made it to number ten for two weeks on the top ten billboard international reggae charts. And your channel and vids took my mixes and concepts to the next level on that album
I always share your videos and knowledge I have learned to others I know
And I especially turn the noobies on to you as well.
You’re a gem and a treat.
Cheers mate.
From Kansas City. !! Love ya man
Ahh, another chance at a mic!!! Yipee!! Hope I win!
Yes! Good luck Nick!
Take my money! ;-)
Exactly! haha
From what I hear it is a pretty dark sounding microphone. I don't think I need one...
Hmm don't find it 'dark' maybe not overly bright or brittle? If you're not looking for a Ribbon sound that's perfectly fine! I wish you all the best!
yeah, but Warren, if I gave you a $15 pen mic you could probably make that sound great too!
uglijimus you’re far too kind my friend!
You played the forbidden song 😂
I really want an microphone thanks for the giveaway i want to make cover video
Best of luck to you and everyone else!
I will win this one.
Best of luck to you and everyone else!
Quick - somebody lend me some money so they can take my money.
Haha I hear you! I’m currently doing a video using only this mic! It’s fantastic
@@Producelikeapro I can tell (fantastic). Thanks for the great review!
If you say cheap-ish to a $1000 mic, I feel sad for my C414 B-ULS
Peter Brandt these days $300 Mics to $500 Mics can do almost every job! The world is changing fast! The Lewitt LCT940 is a Tube and Fet adjustable mic! It’s a great time to be making music!
Definetly, I was just thinking of what I paid for my AKG mic many years ago, which I use mainly for vocals and while this was to be considered as quite a decent mic, now it's fallen into the cheap-ish pit :).
You speak about $300, but this is not even the bottom. There are mics around 100€ - not only from Behringer - which sound ok. Speaking of Behringer, they even sll or sold a case, with pop filter, some bits and peaces and a condenser below that.
I never used it pn my ohn, but from what I heard, it seems to be ok.
Hi Peter Brandt yes, some of the cheapest mics can give you great results! In that 1k ish price range there is so many amazing mics, like the Lewitt LCT940, Roswell and many more!
Peter Brandt PS the 414 is a great mic!!
Yes Warren, I think so too. This is most probably the one piece of gear I'll never sell.
Eee watch those pppps on the ribbon :(
LAIK
Ramon Figueroa is that? like? Haha have a marvellous time recording and mixing!
Hint: Don't buy any mic that's specified in grams or mm.
What is Alumineeyum? hahaha
It's what they make foil out of, so you can wrap up the watercress sandwich you're bringing along to the darby in case you feel peckish.
Jerry McKenzie it’s actually ‘Al You Min Ne-Um’ hahah
Adam Fox exactly! You called it!
Keep playing my daughter is dancing
That's fantastic to hear Shawn!
i NEVER win! change my mind lol cheers
Haha best of luck to you and everyone else my friend!
