Thanks man! Yeah it’s a pretty cool mic! Like anything, you just have to play around and learn how to get the best out of it! Initially I felt it was a bit dark, but once getting the processing going it shaped up really nice! The 24” Ludwig has some punch! But yeah I thought the kick came out pretty nice in that mix too haha
Yes they did now am the proud owner of 4 of them and my road kit is 98% LAUTEN Snare mics top and bottom, tom mics top and bottom, La 320s overheads, LS 208 + Shure beta 91+ Neumann U47 FET on the kick! over 15 cymbals and 20 drums This kit rocks CANT BEAT THEIR VALUE !
Would really enjoy a video where you talk about the kit you're playing here and what you look for in a quality studio kit, Rhys. I know you're a great drummer and a lot of people would appreciate that I think. This mic has been added to my wishlist for sure.
I’m subscribed to Slate/ssl. Otherwise I’ve bought everything else. I bought a bunch of slate stuff before they went sub - but decided it was worthwhile being in the subscription with how much stuff they always add.
Excellent video! I know this mic is mainly for snare drums but I wonder what it would sound like if used on other sources such as on a kick drum or guitar cabinet or even on vocals.
Chum for the algo. 😁Cool video. I'm just using SD3 for my home recordings - so I don't need a snare mic - but I always learn something from your vids. Love your drumming, Rhys. Great feel and consistency.
I’m not sure if you’re aware, but there’s some sort of internal limiting inside the mic before it hits the preamp. Sam pura went on a whole Facebook rant about it and it caused a lot of discussion when it first came out.
Actually I hadn’t seen that, I just had to search Facebook to find the post - seems like it all got a little too heated and personal between some parties there… If there is a limiter in the mic, it didn’t stop me pulling a great sound as I demonstrated in this video. I’m just working off how it sounds and I think lauten are a great company - so I’m happy to have one of these in the studio and am about to use it on some session drums today 😄 everyone has different tastes and if they don’t like what they hear, just use something else! So many good mics out there!
Hey Mate! it’s one of my trigger 2 samples - it’s the vintage 70’s acrolite “tight”. A blend of the mono room, overhead and stereo room mic. Added a bit of EQ and saturation. Sounds pretty sweet hey! The pack is on my website if you want to check it out - Spinlight Trigger 2 vol.1

Ohhhh maaaaaaaaaaan can't describe so butter sexy sound those drums are! Well done, I am not paying attention to wich mic just hearing that ringy full body snare cracks my brain.. Adding that room snare really shine! If you have that type of sample for sale I would love to try it.. Thanks!
Hey legend!! Another great video! Thank you for sharing such useful content 💪🏻 would you mind listing all the drum mics used for this tracking session ? 🙏
@@88omarz the rejection is better, but I just like the tone and how it sounds after mixing it better than the 201. 201 isn’t a bad mic. Just wasn’t really my cup of tea
This mix sounds great! I was just wondering how even with the processing off you can still hear the snare bottom as well. How do you achieve this? I am an experienced mixer but I’m new to live drum mic setup. Killer vid!
@@spinlightstudios just bought the lewitt beat kit pro pack. I guess I have to keep trying to get the sound I’m looking for. I’m afraid I might need this. Thanks so much.
Great video dude. Mic sounded great. Might have to get one! That drum mix sounded unreal too. That KICK tho!!

Sounds like a killer set up man! I have Lautens on the snare and Tom’s and far room mic in my set up! Killer mics

Thanks Tyler! Yeah for sure, sounds like a good idea!
Sounds great and natural! Try it on a pop punk track. It would be nice to hear it on a guitar cab.
Gonna have to give it a try! I’m sure it would excel in other places than the snare!
Do you subscribe to slate or buy the stuff you use? Just curious
I’m subscribed to Slate/ssl. Otherwise I’ve bought everything else. I bought a bunch of slate stuff before they went sub - but decided it was worthwhile being in the subscription with how much stuff they always add.
I didn’t know you that are a great drummer!
Thanks 🙏🏼
That range automation trick is golden 🤑
It’s always the little tricks that make the big differences!
Excellent video! I know this mic is mainly for snare drums but I wonder what it would sound like if used on other sources such as on a kick drum or guitar cabinet or even on vocals.
Definitely would be interesting - might have to do some experiments 🧪
Use the Lauten LS 208 for bass drums and bass guitar cabinets but you can't beat a Sennheiser MD 421 guitar cabs !
I'm curious how does it compare to Neumann KSM105 (Nolly's favourite snare mic)
If I had one I would test it out haha definitely not a mic I would like to see hit by a drumstick 😅
I've got the LA-320 tube condensor and it was 600 bucks with a case and sounds amazing. Lauten baby! Love Lewitt as well.
Big Lauten fan over here. Wouldn’t say no to an Atlantis Oceanus … 😝

Chum appreciated haha! Thanks! I enjoy getting on the kit, probably one of my favourite parts of recording is drum tracking 😄

Nice review tbh. I like the voice it has especially considering the bleed. It sounds a lot more natural.
Thanks mate! Yeah think it sounds pretty nice, and takes processing well
What Slate Trigger 2 reverb sample did you use?

You should have a video on snare tuning and head choice etc. sounds great
Sounds like a good idea man!
Can you elaborate on what snare room sample you added?

Thanks Jason! Yeah it was one of my trigger 2 samples with a touch of extra processing in the mix!
@@spinlightstudios Thanks mate.. You are killing it!
Hey legend!! Another great video! Thank you for sharing such useful content 💪🏻 would
you mind listing all the drum mics used for this tracking session ? 🙏
Thanks mate! Just posted a studio tour vid and I do a quick mic run down :)
Super cool!!!
This channel is a fffing treeaaat 🎉❤
Cheers legend!
Sounds fantastic!
Thanks!
How does this compare to Beyerdynamic M 201
I have a 201, I like the lauten better tbh
@@spinlightstudios cool cool. Good to know. Is it just the rejection or what
@@88omarz the rejection is better, but I just like the tone and how it sounds after mixing it better than the 201. 201 isn’t a bad mic. Just wasn’t really my cup of tea
@@spinlightstudios yea I hear that i got that recently and it didn’t impress as I thought it would. So trying to find my snare sound for sure.
This mix sounds great! I was just wondering how even with the processing off you can still hear the snare bottom as well. How do you achieve this? I am an experienced mixer but I’m new to live drum mic setup. Killer vid!
Thanks man! Can you give me the timestamp of which part you’re talking about :)
@@spinlightstudios 3:20 unprocessed.
@@mattelder4269 it’s just because it’s a condenser mic it picks up way more detail
@@spinlightstudios just bought the lewitt beat kit pro pack. I guess I have to keep trying to get the sound I’m looking for. I’m afraid I might need this. Thanks so much.
