@Produce Like A Pro, what I wouldn’t give for a tube mic. My dream mic is a Telefunken ELAM 251. I’ve been really impressed with the Warm WA 251 and would love to go after one of those mics.
What a sweet, but haunting, tune, and another of Manny's excellent, sensitive productions. Love the atmosphere, around the minimal performance, and love the touches of magic around the edges. Superb
Manny, you seem like the most genuine.... well versed...talented and authentic guy I've seen online in a while. With you there's no bluster and ego we run into so often. You're a good experience. Thanks for your time efforts and perspective. God bless.
Nice job overall, although this seems to be more of a mix walkthrough and not specifically about the MA-37, which doesn't get a lot of time over the nearly 1hr video. Dry placement, pre amp choices A/B, EQ reception at source while tracking, comparisons on same source with other mics etc. would've been both cool and helpful. Just my thoughts, as I'm in the market for a MA-37 right now. Cheers.
I liked everything about this. I always seem to learn something new when I watch Manny. Great music and vocal performances. I like that spring reverb a lot! You're right! It is a beautiful sounding song.
Cool. I hear a bit of Björk in there. The Sony was a favorite of mine at Danny Dallas’ studio Sound Patterns in Detroit back in the 1970s. Very distinct, clear but smooth. Great on guitar amp and many other things.
Manny is the best! Thanks so much for sharing more knowledge and experiences with us mere mortals! 2 personal favourites of mine are currently the BM9 from Extinct Audio (UK) and the Mojave MA-300; use them every day.
@@mannysmiclocker I know you’ll really enjoy it! It sounds incredible on lots of things. We have seen a lot of usages on the Internet on acoustic instruments and voice, but I think it really shines on saxophones especially if you’re into bebop and like partial harmonics being picked up as cleanly and distinctly as the fundamental tone. It also sounds pretty awesome as a drum overhead. The only thing I don’t like about it has nothing to do with the microphone but rather, because I am a blind audio engineer and to change the polar pattern from UNIdirectional to Omny requires you sticking a screwdriver in the back of the microphone which makes me nervous lol. so, I make the interns do it LOL!
Sweetwater sent me an advert for the new Mojave and all of its accolades. Was seriously looking at purchasing one to replace my Shure in my vocal booth... UNTIL I looked at the price. Good Golly Miss Molly! For that price, this sucker had better do all of the singing for me!
I had the pleasure of using a C37-P in the studio 30 years ago. Not a favorite vocal mic, but really good on guitar, and as a distance mic on drums. Always wanted a C-24.
Great video, thanks Manny! You have a really interesing approach to mixing, lots to learn from you. I love the reversed vocal effect. Awesome sounding mic, one I've always wanted! I entered for the giveaway so who knows . . .
Love me some Manny production, his course is brilliant too. Mic sounds really good, love the way you treated it though. “My studio is in a war zone” tell me about it man. I’ve got a mad weightlifting gym downstairs dropping massive concrete balls that shake the building every so often, inevitably at the worst possible time
Yes I will look into. Recording with hundreds of musicals around Can be challenging. Truth we gotta work regardless and hopefully make the best of all our situations. Thanks for sharing John.
How about hearing these track with no echo, to really hear what this mic really sounds like ? Match it next to 4 other good mic's isoing the tracks pre EQ as well ?
You can download the multitracks for free to really hear what the mic sounds like :) This is why we do what we do. We share performances, tracking, mixing and multitracks so you get a real-world understanding of these products. Thanks.
Yes the files are still Raw Dawg for you. The reverb and Eq we not meant to cover anything . When mixing with Artist you sometimes lean towards their desire and I added all because they wanted. I was thrilled they approved mix and end of day Win Win everyone.
I feel ya! You have to really make a commitment any mic over 1k. Good luck definitely sign up to try to win via PLAP!!!! I will work hard and hopefully save up myself for one. Thanks for sharing KSMIT.
It's a cool tune but I'm not sure this is a showcase production for the MA-37. To my ears the recording sounds boomy and cluttered. The guitarrón and the cajón feel like they're fighting to occupy the same space. The lyrics are hard to understand and the reverb is kind of dense and bloated.
@@mannysmiclocker Sorry, Manny. I'm reading my comment back. I was a bit impulsive in writing it and it reads a lot harsher than I intended. I'm in no position to criticize your work. I'll be lucky if I improve to become half the engineer you are today. I will try to display a little more humility in the future. Until then let there be no doubt that I'm a complete schmuck! Thanks for the video and thank you for your magnanimity.
@@helmanfrow Appreciated your honest vibe and thanks for sharing . I’m like you sometimes my reply’s short in comments and could be completely opposite of my true vibe ;) once again we love your input and never stop ;)
Hi Helman, I would suggest downloading the tracks and mixing them for yourself. Some of the greatest mics in the world have more information that is necessary in final the mix. For me the overlap of low end and low mids is very easy to solve in a mix, just as it would be with many other high quality mics. Many thanks, Warren
It’s funny you say that because usually that’s the way the band is recorded. When we mixed that wanted more FX and just something different then traditional. I went along for the ride but it’s still there if remixed. Totally a fun session to work on and great band. Thanks for sharing Alex.
What are some of your dream microphones? Share below!
I could never afford any good mics, I have an e609 I use for everything 😊
Dream mics: ela m251, c-37, u-67, md-409
@Produce Like A Pro, what I wouldn’t give for a tube mic. My dream mic is a Telefunken ELAM 251. I’ve been really impressed with the Warm WA 251 and would love to go after one of those mics.
They are something special, indeed!
One day, Paul. One day! Thanks for sharing.
I always wanted a Neumann TLM 102 studio set .
Great video Manny, way to go man. It's a privilege to watch you work, really is. Thanks very much and big thanks to the PLAP team
Glad you enjoy it!
Thrilled you enjoyed brother ;)
What a sweet, but haunting, tune, and another of Manny's excellent, sensitive productions. Love the atmosphere, around the minimal performance, and love the touches of magic around the edges. Superb
Thanks for listening

Thanks for the multitracks! I love the tamb/shaker part. I get a feeling I'll be using it a lot in my beats! :3
Thank you!
That’s so cool! Good luck and we appreciate you Czyszy ;)

Thanks ever so much!
They played so Beautifully! This mic really captured their performance!
Thanks, Lily!

Aw yeah thanks for sharing Benny! You own recommendations appreciated and I’ve been told Extinct Audio are next level as the M300.
Thanks ever so much Benny! Manny Rules!
Thanks Manny! You Rock!
FREE Multitracks are always a god thing! Especially when Manny is involved!
Yes!

@@mannysmiclocker Manny Rules!!
A Manny video! This will be great!
Thanks, Lee. Manny is awesome.
Thanks Lee and I’m always grateful for PLAP family having me :)
So dreamy and ethereal, like floating on a cloud in a dream. Ahhhhhhhhh
Thanks, Gilbert!
I have a vintage c38b. It's also pretty dark for a condenser and almost ribbon-like. Have been super curious about this mic. Sounds great!
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy the mulitracks!
I love those!
I have the MA37 and love it. Had it since around January of this year.
Fantastic! Thanks ever so much for sharing
I’m with ya and gonna buy one too!

Lovely production from Manny there. Not just a noisy guitar guy, he's got great ears!
Yes yes ! Thrilled you enjoyed
Manny is incredible.

First off -- great tune, and as always Manny IS the man. Love it!
Thanks Billy for tuning in and sharing. PLAP rules.
Thanks Billy! Yes, Manny rules!!
Love that vocal reverse trick. Dope
Thanks Sonny for sharing that. Happy accidents work sometimes. Appreciated you sharing and digging PLAP ;)
Fantastic!! Thanks Sonny
The time adjustment thing is genius totally worth the watch
Thank you, Thomas!
Great video, thanks Manny! You have a really interesing approach to mixing, lots to learn from you. I love the reversed vocal effect. Awesome sounding mic, one I've always wanted! I entered for the giveaway so who knows . . .

Awesome video! id love to have one of those mics! I love that Manny is always breaking all the rules! Rules are made to be broken! Great video guys!
Manny to Manny Appreciated My Man!! PLAP and Mix Academy Rocks
We wouldn't be where we are today if we didn't break the rules.
@@Producelikeapro very true! Thanks for keeping it real!
Love me some Manny production, his course is brilliant too. Mic sounds really good, love the way you treated it though. “My studio is in a war zone” tell me about it man. I’ve got a mad weightlifting gym downstairs dropping massive concrete balls that shake the building every so often, inevitably at the worst possible time
Ha yes we both rock war zones ;) thanks for sharing and checking out PLAP and Mix Academy.
You need to check out my studio then! ha
Manny the legend!!
He is!
Bad ass engineer.
@@leefchapman yes! He certainly is
A legend in my own mind Ha that’s about it ;) Thanks for sharing Conor. You are appreciated My Man!
Sounds great! Nice work Manny
Marc!!! Thanks for sharing my Man! You are the Gold Standard always ;)
Thanks Marc for your great comment! You’re the man!
Yes, he is Manny! As are you my friend!
I'm not a microphone guru, but who would'nt be happy with a Telefunken U47 lol... Great video and giveaway!
Thanks ever so much
Beautiful, I was really digging the bass instrument, super funky and great tone! Anyone know what that instrument is called?
oh nm manny broke it down for me. 19:23 if anyone else is wondering :)
Yes I believe I broke it down or Dom mentioned in interview. Thanks for checking out William.
Hi William! Thanks ever so much!
Manny, you Rock!
Have you tried it on guitar amps?
Beautiful thing! Such a generous giveaway Warren!
Thank you and thanks to Mojave and Manny also!
Nice tactic: build and substract :) I like that somehow, can't tell you why :)
Because it’s wrong and yet so right Ha! Thanks for sharing TK.
Marvellous Thomas!
@@mannysmiclocker haha indeed
That intro song was 🔥
Thank you! Enjoy the Multitracks. Manny is incredible as are the musicians.
Wow you're now with 666k sub man.
Thanks ever so much!
Yoiu need that plugin wave makes to get rid of vocal bhackground noise. It works so well
Yes I will look into. Recording with hundreds of musicals around
Can be challenging. Truth we gotta work regardless and hopefully make the best of all our situations. Thanks for sharing John.
very interesting band!
Thanks ever so much Hugh!
Sounds beautiful from about 1 kHz on up, but the smear and fudge in this mix's nether-regions is like floating on mud.
So these are worth a punt then?
Sound like a traditional Cochin song.
Damn, that guitarrón mexicano sounds killer, man!
Dom is the man on that bad boy! Thanks for sharing Will. PLAP rules!
Thanks, Will!

Haha indeed
Anyone test this against the MA-1000?
How many bonus entries for some door dash?
Haha I’ve never actually used them? I use Postmates! Haha
$3500, can't do it.....
I feel ya! You have to really make a commitment any mic over 1k. Good luck definitely sign up to try to win via PLAP!!!! I will work hard and hopefully save up myself for one. Thanks for sharing KSMIT.
Indeed! LOt's of other great mics under 1k as well, Mojave themselves have many
There are some very useless bass frequency build up in the bass track its annoying.
It's a cool tune but I'm not sure this is a showcase production for the MA-37. To my ears the recording sounds boomy and cluttered. The guitarrón and the cajón feel like they're fighting to occupy the same space. The lyrics are hard to understand and the reverb is kind of dense and bloated.

would rather here it around a campfire, to much processing. echo not natural.

Hi Alex, we all definitely hear in different ways! Feel free to download and mix the tracks how you hear them! Mute tracks, whatever works for you.
