I would probably try it out with the Soprano Singer in my band. She is amazing but I think the current mic is sub par in capturing what she does and the power and dimensions in her voice
my vocals, acc guitar, foley and maybe my electric Guitar ❤️ also in a live situation i could use one capsule for my voice and the other for the audience 😍
Nice tool to play with. Warren's song (for younger generation) is expression of Love and respect of receiving support from his wife. i can feel it. Mic is exceptional and I would like to got one. Thanks Warren for beautiful lyrics and melody. Make my day.
I was struck by how much this video seems like an average day for me now. We have to practice so many different things each day is mindboggling sometimes! Always fun watching you play with new gear. Good stuff Warren!
lovely song. hope she likes it! crazy how they make it where you can change the pattern in a multiband way. I just adore that you incorporated the uke as well.
thankyou for another review of Austrian Audio! ❤️ i seriously LOVE this microphone 😍 it looks very vintage and raw. one of my 3 absolute dream mics fs!
Great mic had to watch it twice. First time I got lost in the beautiful song. Made me think of my lovely bride and I lost focus on the mic. How beautiful! Great video!
From Your Head To your Feet!!! Warren that part of this video where you're playing every instrument and singing should be the Official video for that track. It's Awesome!!!......now I'll go watch the rest of the video
WOW!!! That is some crazy technology!!! it sound amazing on the guitars, im keen to check out the multitracks and the app and have a play around with it. Keep up the great work!!
Very nice song Warren. Your vocal surprised me a little, But I dont know why it should. You accel at most everything else.... Thanks for all you do for the home production community. its a little overwhelming!
Warren, This is just AMAZING !!!... Great Job, Love the vocals !! Also, your wife is a very lucky woman !! Please keep doing what you do As always, Thank you for sharing.
I'll get mine tomorrow ... can't wait. My goal is to use this for vocal and acoustic guitar in a figure 8 pattern, one side pointing up at the singer, one side pointing down at the guitar. I've had great results, good separation, doing this with a U47 type mic, but obviously I only ended up with one mono track. With the AA I'll have true stereo, and I'll be able to EQ and compress the front and back (or, in this case top and bottom) individually. What didn't work great with the 47 was to find a perfect volume balance between the two lobes. Also, the guitar seemed to ask for different EQ settings than the vocal. (I wanted to get rid of some string squeaking, but cutting that particular frequency made the vocal sound dull.) We'll see ...
@@Producelikeapro downloading the multitracks right now :) wrote the lyrics down, if i'm not mistaken it's on/around 90BPM? this song just hit that nerve for me, thank you for this jem :)
Its so awesome Austrian Audio put the plugin out there for free! Their plugin also works with the Townsend Sphere L22, in case anyone has that mic and wants to try it out. Both brands of mic have the exact same capsule pattern. The Townsend plugin is meant to emulate different mics but this plugin does so much more when it comes to phase and stereo spread.
Answering, I would probably try it out with the Soprano Singer in my band. She is amazing but I think the current i is sub par in capturing what she does and her power and dimensions in her voice
Just saw this now, as I just got a pair of OC818s. @producelikeapro this is the best product/ usage video I've seen for these... well done! Also adorable that you wrote a song for your wife :).
Not necessarily new tech, Lewitt have a similar set up, but I wonder if you could duplicate a track and use different patterns for different characteristics of the sound so remove the need for EQ completely....
Incredible. I record a lot of pipe organ music. I use varying mics usually on top of 25’ tall stands. A lot of trouble to raise and lower to reset patterns. The app and after the fact adjustments are very exciting. And... I love your song “Perfect”
One question Warren, would you make a comparison between the OC818 with the LCT640? Could you share your thoughts on the similarities and differences between these two? If it’s possible. Thanks in advance.
Warren, I'd looooove to see you sing into this mic up close in figure 8, but then make the 5k to 8k frequency in omni!!! Crazy crazy crazy possibilities with this microphone. I want two!!!! You just sold me.
Great song ! And I love the arrangement, especially the bass drum and snare drum with the hands. This is an interesting mic, however, every video seems to focus on the unique mixing features (which I would probably never use), as opposed to proper discussions and comparisons about how it sounds on voices, acoustic guitars, drums, etc. Cheers.
I‘m as much a Yamaha fan as you, I have four Yamaha acoustics (DW 10, FG 820/12, FG 830, FG 840) hanging on my living room wall, and the LL 16 is next on my list.
What a beautiful song! I think i watched this video 10x now, also the mic is great just got mine, hope to use it next week as a spot mic for a viola da gamba. Hope it will not to harsh but the ukelele sounded also great so i hoe it works. Thanks for this (and all other) video(s).
Beautiful song, Warren! Your wife is a very lucky lady to have such a romantic and talented hubby!!! BTW, I am often reminded of World Party when I hear your songs. I wonder if you are a big fan and indeed count their music amongst your 'influences'? Cheers!
@@Producelikeapro I can see (hear) that ;) Hey, BTW great week of goodies for us studio gearheads! That Waves StudioRack and that Austrian OC818 - friggin NICE!!!!! I'm putting that in next year's budget FOR SURE! And...you rocked FAQ Friday!!! Seriously, you and your team hit it out of the park this week!!!
I'm little bit late but to mention it, on 18:30 as far as I know you can move the frequency range by dragging the blue lines/bars inbetween each band and specify a little bit more which frequencies are going to effect by which pattern. :-)
Okay, you show yourself playing and singing, (I love the song, BTW ) but you also show the mic placement next to the amp (2:17) so we know you're off center of the speaker, and it's a real kick, etc. You know your audience!
The song is cool, nice and greatly executed, but I find it's a pity that the little descending guitar melody reminds me too much of "Wake me up when september ends" by Green Day. Don't get me wrong, it's fine and these are only notes and have no copyright or whatsoever, but it's too obvious to my ears that I can't help but think of the other song when the melody comes up so it distracts me from really listening to the song at times. Hope that makes sense. Anyway, great great job on that song and the mic sounds really amazing! Cheers Warren!
@Produce Like A Pro HI! Warren! I didn't mean to offend or to be disrespectful. I was just saying my very first impressions when I heard the song. Have a marvellous day with your wife ;-)
really like the sound of this mic, I'd love to hear how it sounds with some piano with a blumlien pair or classical guitar, I like the level of control you can get with the custom polar patterns.
Hey Warren, thanks for showing us around the Polar Design Plugin. Could you explain what you mean when you say adjusting the polar patterns of the five bands avoids "Phase Shift" which can be caused by other EQs? I understand Phase Shift to be when you have more than one waveform that are not aligned, therefore causing phase cancellation. How do regular EQs cause this? Thanks in advance. Cheers from Australia
Dear Warren, how that exactly work when you're plugging two cables in one mic? Are they in principle recording in omni and then you change the polar pattern afterwards? I'm a little concerned of how the sound will be processed through the plugin. Is it going to deteriorate the sound in any way? Thanks, I'm really interested in those mics.
I just spent hours fixing my old AKG D330BT which had been wrecked for years after the canon plug pins had been ripped out by a well meaning but rushed ‘roadie’ after a gig. I managed to solder in connecter wires and a refashioned canon plug and now knowing that AKG is no longer in biz it may as well be made of solid gold. Also heard rumours of the demise of Bose (at the other end of the audio chain) which is just madness.
Hi David Ride thanks ever so much for your comment! AKG definitely still exists! They just closed down their original Manufacturing plant in Vienna, which was very sad. However, they do still exist! I’m so glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Thanx for dispelling my erroneous assumption of the complete demise of AKG. And good onya for everything: the videos, the knowledge and encouragement ✌️😎
Hi David Ride yes, I understand! I’m sure it confusing to hear reports of the Vienna Factory closing and then making that assumption! Thanks for the great comment!
@@Producelikeapro I am probably the only one who has studied Queen songs more than you have, but I prefer their songs from the 70s. Deacon played the best bass lines ever (Seaside Rdv., Mill. Waltz, Play the Game, Dragon Attack) - well, together with Entwistle..
@@Producelikeapro If you need powerful as well as sensitive Deacon style bass lines for songs that come your way just ask me, happy to collaborate with you. All I need is the basic stems of the songs and I will add my basstrack.
well technically - yes using it in stereo will prevent phase issues - but it technically WON'T be stereo - any more than recording a copy of one side of the performance through a mono mic and then phase reversed. There is no difference in information between the two channels since it's from a single diaphragm - no?
Beautiful sentiment with the song, Warren. The mic has some interesting capabilities. Using the band variable polar patters only for tonal balance is only half the story. In a live studio or live performance scenario use of polar patterns to blend instruments into a sound field using the benefits of leakage modeling is just as important and the two scenarios will interact as well. Can you demo this in a live scenario?
As a music lover and enjoy high fidelity music production (non music production profession), I am planning to record the sound of the home hifi system. Will such a microphone that can pick up sound on both sides via dual connections, perform better over two separate microphones?
See this brand coming up more recently but hadn't heard of them before. Currently looking for a new mic and I'm thinking of going for a Sm7B coming from the condenser that is included in the Focusrite bundle. Would this be a significant upgrade? Also, great song. I'm sure she really liked that!
Well, it is a new brand, founded by ex-engineers from AKG. I just don't get how you could think the Austrian Audio and the Shure are in the same league? They aren't comparable at all. The SM7b is dynamic, the AA is a dual-diaphragm condenser. The Sm7b costs around $400, the AA around $1,000...
Hi MrVleker, the sm7b will be a step up from the Condenser on the Focusrite Studio bundle and of course the Austrian Audio Mic will be a HUGE leap up from the Focusrite Studio bundle!
I like the high end on my voice of the omnidirectional pattern, but it takes away from the low end. Is their a way to use any of the software to tailor a pattern that has the omnidirectional’s high end while maintaining the depth of my voice the way the other patterns do?

Hi MrVleker, the sm7b will be a step up from the Condenser on the Focusrite Studio bundle and of course the Austrian Audio Mic will be a HUGE leap up from the Focusrite Studio bundle!
@@Producelikeapro thank for answering! Yeah it will probably be huge but its a little out of my budget I'm afraid ;)
@@MrVleker glad to be able to help! What is your budget?
Hi Warren how r u? Could you sometimes make video about acoustic cover-mixing guitar and vocal? thzzzz
Marvellous idea!
I like the high end on my voice of the omnidirectional pattern, but it takes away from the low end. Is their a way to use any of the software to tailor a pattern that has the omnidirectional’s high end while maintaining the depth of my voice the way the other patterns do?
No comparison to the Lewitt 640?!?
Lucky guy... I was going to be a musician, but my wife wouldn't let me.
I am very blessed Dan!
