@Cristy Beale no way its a scam???
Mary playing drums is how I feel practicing anything
"Don't practice. Improvise, alright?"
The slightly more canned sound on microphone B gave it away on vocals but everything else was basically identical.
ryan doody ... spot on. The vocals was slightly canned on the Shure. But for its price, it’s totally awesome.
That little mic is impressive for shure!
The most important part about those recordings were the talent and the engineer. If both of those are good, the gear hardly matters.
A is the pro mic setup, the difference was mostly audible on the vocals. B is also a bit more boxy on the acoustic guitar, but nothing that can't be fixed. Pretty incredible.
I guessed right!
The B track had more tin-can sibilance in it that, as one other commenter said, really stacked up with all the layered tracks and became more apparent. I couldn't hear it on any individual track except for your vocals, though. As you both said, impressive for what it is!
Mary, I really love this Tuesday Talks, I couldn't really hear much a difference between your system and the studio's, most impressive. I think all the instruments you played, were played with so much feel. One of the best Tuesday Talks in a while. Thank you Mary...
I love everything you do Mary.
Love your constant positive smile.
Your videos always cheer me up.
If I could ever keep a cellphone from smashing the screen and thereby the camera lens, I'd probably have one of these by now. But...
I love the lyrics "I see you in my wine glass every evening" with "I see you in the lovers I keep leaving."
That's some heart-wrenching stuff, there.
That was awesome Mary ,Love the mic,Keep up the Keep on Rockin.
That is incredible! I agree that there is a little drop in the low end but the Shure mic is brighter on a few bits. Incredible! And incredible Mary Drum Face on the roll before the final chorus!
Not sure which is which, and whether TH-cam messes with the audio as well, but A sounds "warmer" and B sounds "sharper" by just the tiniest amount... but both have great sound. listening thru headphones.
A sounds "warmer" and B sounds "sharper" --nailed it imo. Exactly what i hear (with headphones).
@@CottonInDerTube Same here, even w/o headphones.
Spot on... the difference surely isn't 90%! But the warmth of the A set brings out the complexity of your voice which makes it so distinctive and appealing.
agree with the sounds, just slightly
Hey that’s the tech from “an album in ten hours” that video that Andrew and Rob did!
I think he runs Rob's local studio as he's been in a few of Rob's videos. He was also running the modern rig when Rob and friends recorded to Phonograph.
Richard Keel yeah, you’re right, she also mentioned that she was in Chicago which is where Rob lives.
Wow! Great Music! The MV88+ held up amazingly well in the studio. Fantastic Video, Thank You!
Great video showcasing this mic. I had ordered one this morning and am really looking forward to it now. Also - that vocal melody is killer! It's a beautiful performance but the note choice itself is really interesting and colourful.
Great review and overall demo & evaluation on the microphone. It is pivotal in my decision-making. Great work! And very nice song and vocals! Love it
That was a great shootout! Thanks Mary, Cheers!
brilliant! I just bought the MV88+ and am very happy to see this and realize that I can use it for so much!
I honestly can’t tell the difference. So I ordered the Sure M88+ Thanks so much for turning us on to a great product and illustrating what it can do, Rob is awesome, I bet that was fun.
thx for making this video. I just bought one of these (first microphone) and am blown away by the sound quality.
Great job and video!! Pros at work.
I continue to be impressed by inexpensive single or dual mic setups. Of course, it also falls to the mix engineer to hear how to balance everything, and a lot can be fixed in post, but the raw recordings these days are amazing!
"It might have a little self noise." No kidding. Great tone though, and great for recording loud things and events.
that's and incredible mic perfect for smaller studios. beautiful song BTW Mary
Great mic. Great test. Great performance. Great song. Thank you.
May be just me, but I think if you hadn't capped the vocals at 75hz. you wouldn't have been able to tell hardly ANY difference between the A & B track. There's a certain undertone in your voice that I think would have been picked up if the low end had been capped at 40-50 hz., especially in your lower register. Very nice demo in a controlled environment to show what these little gems are really capable of! I'm impressed.😁🎵🎶👍👍
I couldn't tell between the two for the most part, and even when I thought I could, I wasn't sure (ha!). What might be interesting is a straight mix of both, the Shure in one channel (left or right), and the pro in the other, and the inverse to give both ears a chance to hear the same thing.
Ultimately, I think that the most significant factor that I believe make a difference isn't in the hardware, the mix, or any of the equipment... it's the talent, and in this case, the talent sumptuously oozes through to treat the ears. Well done.
very cool Mary ! The guitar and bass I could handle ,but I so could not have done the drums and vocals half as good as you did . Great Job . Yeah that little Mic is something .
Love this video. I'm kind of a 1 person band myself. Only difference is I use a computer drum program because I don't have an acoustic drum kit. I can play, but I live in an apartment flat and my neighbors wouldn't like it! Lol
You're a woman of many talents! 👍
A sounded smooth, b was a bit harsher but could easily be fixed with an e.q. during mixing and mastering.
On top of that the MV88+ is a Mid-Side Stereo mic so you get even more versatility with it (these tests were all in mono so you couldn't show that off). I use the MV88+ with my Teche 3D180VR camera (it supports USB audio devices directly). Mid/Side translates very well to Ambisonics -> spatial audio in a small package.
Wow great video love it
you are verry insiring to me, your voice is awesome and your guitar skills are so nice. thank you for making videos.
What a great video !! Thanks !
Great demo. Just ordered one of these. Love your videos
Great comparison! This was fun watching!
both mics sounded good but I feel its more to do with your great voice and even better song!!!!!! thank you for inspiring me.
Thanks for posting. I’ve ordered an MV88 now. I was almost convinced and then your video sold it to me.
Yeow! That woman is unbelievably talented ! Great song. Great performances. And an amazing mic.
I am just setting up a home studio so this was super useful!
Thanks for the info! I can’t wait to get my mv88+
Great Video!
Awesome👍
Thank you, What I liked the most is your personality.
I know it’s quite a bit down the road but thank you for sharing Beautiful voice
Really excellent and helpful vid. Thanks 🙏 😊
It's a cool tool! Good demo!
Top class all around
Thanks for doing this, Mary. I often struggle with not being able to afford the high end mics for my studio. I have a nice variety of low to mid price mikes that I think do the job nicely. You'd be surprised at the reaction sometimes of artists that don't appreciate a good sounding mike. If it doesn't say "Neu____" then it can't be good type of attitude. I am definitely an amateur producer but I have always been told to trust my ears. This has given me more confidence to do that. Cheers.
Shure owes you money. Dang, this was one of the best reviews I have ever seen. So solid.
Cool review
Thanks for this... what a fun comparison! I think ultimately I do hear a little more presence in the 'pro' setup but the Shure mix could probably be teased up with some add-ins and processing too. I'm subscribing, Mary!
Really impressed!
I've been thinking about buying that Shure mic since I found out about it, so I can record demo songs and ideas on my phone with the DAW app I bought, and this video just sold me on it.
super cool song
many thanks for awesome review )
Awesome video. :)
Mary, PLEASE release this song. It's been stuck in my head for days.
Amazing video I think you've sold it to me that is awesome!
Awesome review deffo gone pick one of these lil badboys up!
Nice job on the song and video. The Shure is quite good for the price, useful comparison
your such amazing singer
This confirms my experience with the cheaper MV88, which has the same capsules: it's the most versatile and one of the best sounding stereo microphones you can get
Hi Mary: again; informative and inspiring. Thank you. My perspective: It's all about loving music, loving writing/arranging/recording/producing, loving to share our experiences, loving to collaborate, and having FUN. One side of the coin is that It's nice to have the best equipment we can have. The other side of the coin is that we can LOVE all the aforementioned with even the tiniest and cheapest mic. Further, some of the greatest classics were recorded with subpar equipment! That's my point of view for what it's worth. I would love to collaborate with you on a creative musical work. I believe we could create something AWESOME considering what you and I could both bring to the table.
Interesting video. Wouldn't have noticed a difference if I wasnt listening for one. Mary your voice sounds as great as ever 👍
It’s fantastic to see technology like this come to a price level that’s attainable by the average person ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you for sharing
the sad thing is that there are tons of products which are very cheap in production and just cost much because of a name...it´s not always the technology but the market and trend
Damn you’re talented
Im not normally a fan of Shure Mics but that thing is bad ass .. Im impressed ... 🌹❤🌹
Wow, awesome demonstration, very hard to tell the difference. 😎
Fun way to share songwriting, recording and A/B mic test
The Shure sounds noticeably thinner and noisier, but I think I'm only picking up on that because it's being directly compared to a much more expensive mic. When you factor in price and convenience, it sounds great.
Impressive!
lol I like the clearer sound of mic B by far the most. When I heard the first 2 recording comparisons, I thought to my self "well this isn't fair, the B set up is WAY clearer sounding" thinking that had to be the studio gear hahah
I just bought this mic for nature/hiking videography, but I’m also a musician and this made me feel really good about my decision. Lol Great video!
It's a cool mic and app, sounds great, but a lot of the credit for the sound should go to the engineer and the studio. Knowing what setting to go for, having good acoustics in the room, even knowing where to place it has as much to do with getting a good sound as the mic itself. Nice vid!
Amazing performance for such an inexpensive microphone.
nice analysis. to me, I picked up on the low end deficit, which you already noted, but to me the mid-highs sound a bit shrill compared to the studio mics. I could always tell the difference between A and B in this. but at the same time, it's also, as you noted, 90% cheaper. so when you take all that into account, it's incredible. We live at an amazing time for sound and the quality we can derive from very inexpensive items. From headphones to speakers, mics to amps; everything has been getting very good and quite inexpensive. There are still gains (no pun intended) to be had at the very high end, but by and large, everything is so good and so inexpensive, it's just amazing.
On good headphones, that slight midrange hump in the shure builds up and starts to get very boxy sounding. Most noticeable on drums and vocals. Also, I can hear the room a lot better on the 414...which might be a negative in a cheap home studio!
Still, great for a price. And it's stereo itself right? So you really only need one?
I liked the Shure on the drums by far. Great comparison.
Rob seems like a really cool guy and a true pro. Mary seems like a really cool girl and a true musician. I envy them both.
Great video! I also got the same mic.. in fact everyone at Thomann’s Synth Reactor 2019 got one like it, donated by Shure. ;) Actually a good mic for most uses like you’ve shown. 😎
That's pretty awesome. Through my average priced bluetooth speakers when I'm not looking I can't tell when the mics switch. Of course I think I can when watching but Im not so sure if I really am!
I picked it. Very minor. But if it wasn't ABed then i never would of noticed. What an awesome bit of kit.
I'd say mix A is the C414's and mix B is the Shure. To my ears, I heard a definite difference in the kick drum and acoustic guitar - less low end, slightly emphasized top end. The Shure also had a slight ringy upper-midrange resonance that built up with all the tracks stacked.
....and coming to the end of the video, my suspicions are confirmed! It's no C414, but that Shure is a dang good field mic still. Impressive!
On certain notes on vocals I thought B sounded a little hollow , but damn hardly any difference overall at all , thats a crackin little thing !
The small mic shifted the frequency spectrum up a ladder step on the vocal track. It was nice but i preferred the lower push from the studio mic.
With your pretty voice Mary I bet if you played that song from Fleetwood Mac 'Dreams' it would sound awesome! 🌹
I can definitely tell the difference between the MV88 and C414 even on my phone speakers. The C414 is more open and the cumulative effect is more airy and less midrangy. The drums and the acoustic sound especially boxy on the MV88. It could work on a singular subject on a field recording, but when multitracked it begins falling apart.
B might be awesome for drum toms and or crush mono
The B mic did better than I expected, and sounded great on a lot of things. I did prefer the A mic on your vocals. With the smaller mic, the vocals tended to be a little more strident, though I'm sure that could be EQed out.
A sounded really good. B sounds bright and too harsh to my ears.
Absolutely amazing music. In terms of the mics... it is night and day, but I hope the MV88+ will still be a upgrade from the phone mic.
Nice shoot-out! I'd like to know what you could do with the Stellar X2, which compares favorably to a Neumann U87.
Other than some clipping on the highs its really good.
A is def warmer. At least you can play drums somewhat, all I can do is the stick twirl. Lol. That was a fun video, thanks.
Might be the speakers and setup I'm listening on, but I could tell the difference. Wasn't as drastic as I thought it would be and to listen carefully but there definitely was a "flatter" response from the studio mic. Feel like you might need to do a small bit of filtering to level out the Shure. Sounded nice on the vocals and guitars though, which isn't a huge surprise considering who the thing is aimed at, and what that target market would be using it for, and for the price difference you can't really argue!
Awesome video
ps they both have similar sound I can't really hear the difference between the two
After this, the only application that I wouldn't use the Sure for would be vocals. But this mic is really awesome, and for the price damn!!
I really wanna hear the whole song in this recording.
love that restaurant windows song ..... when will it be gig time ?
