THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING! What do yall think about this video? What videos would you like to see from me in the future? What microphone do you record on?
Thank you thank you yea that’s exactly why I bought it because I know that I will be able to go back to it over and over again no matter what for the rest of my life
😭 I just pulled the trigger today with the combo neumann interface I’m about to use this set up for the remainder of my career I was iffy buying everything all new but it gave me more validation knowing I’m the first to use these two pieces brand new I’ve used a couple u87s used and gave them back and ended up with lesser gear trying to chase the u87 sound with cheaper gear I always told myself I didn’t need the u87 but there’s nothing close to it def worth the money if you have it but I’m all in now and staying with these two really looking forward to creating future projects I know I’m late to the channel but I know your loving the u87 😭
Two tips. 1. Get yourself a heavy mic stand. I like triad stands 2. Never out the shock mount on the stand while the mic is on the the shock mount. Happy recording
I am liking it a lot so far it definitely feels like it sits much better in the mix. The presence of this mic makes the vocals feel like they are more upfront.
Spin the nut at the bottom of the shock while holding the mic (instead of spinning the mic). Much less chance of dropping Same with the stand. Loosen the nut holding the boom and spin that into the mic mount (instead of spinning the whole mic assembly) If you try and do it your way at a real studio you may or may not get smacked on the head
@@jpinthestu Just trying to save you from a bonking! p.s. - The magic of the u87 is its versatility. Even when it's not the best mic choice it still sounds good, which makes it such a workhorse even in a studio with a big mic collection. No doubt you'll be very happy with it!
Oh yea definately I appreciate it. I plan on recording my guitar more and it’s ability to also record vocals very well is the reason why I bought it. There are definitely better options but after using it for a couple days now at this point I am extremely satisfied
Thank you for saying this. I opened the comments immediately to come tell him this as soon as I saw him spinning the mic into the shock mount. The other advantage of spinning the stand/shockmount instead of the mic is you are much less likely to strip threads on the stand and shockmount this way. This is because you don’t have a large weighty microphone wobbling up and down as you are threading it. You do not want to strip the threads on an Atlas mic stand or a Neumann shockmount! Those are expensive mistakes.
Ha I just got myself one an week ago myself . Also had the Tlm 103 . For every one who don’t say it’s not a differnce they just don’t understand what to listen for .
Yea I heard the difference immediately after using the tlm 103 for so long. Don’t get me wrong the tlm 103 is super good but sheesh I immediately heard the difference
@@jpinthestu your right . Tlm 103 will definitely work if it’s all that’s on hand . Fun fact the song day and night by kid cudi and drake best I ever had was recorded with the Tlm 103

Congrats, man! No looking back once you get the U87 Ai. I have a few mics, and I always go back to the 87. Sounds good on you, too!

Thank you I will definately start doing that. I deserve to get smacked on the head for how I do it. I appreciate your input
