RODE SENT ME THESE ITEMS FOR THIS VIDEO. SO IF YOU LOOK AT IT THAT WAY I NEED TO DISCLOSE THIS IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT, However i try to place no bias upon them, and let you make your own conclusions, all i can say is i do quite like the mics, i wouldnt have thought of giving them a go, but i am pleasantly surprised, as you know i use RODE mics and Wireless mics for my camera in all of the videos, but was pleased to try these proffessional mic's i especially like the fact that you can plug them in via usb to a phone or computer without an audio interface, and just sound good out of the box. for someone looking for an all round faff free mic, i would recommend them, and that is an honest opinion. packaging is a bit overkill and was hoping they'd get sent with a mic mount direct to a stand aswell as a suspension mount, but you cant have it all! also comes with a pop shield, which does its job. i like them, to the point i might get another to use for other things, as im used to an old akg 242, which is good, but the noise floor isn't great it might be a bit broken. anyway those are my thoughts. Another bonus is it comes with a long USB C to USB C cable and an xlr cable. which is handy.

#restoration #howto #organ
I'm perfectly fine watching another year of Look mum an organ! No need to finish this project 💔
Same. It's what got me to subscribe. Before that I was just an occasional viewer
totally!
LOL
I'm looking forward to a year of interesting organ music!
Yeah, we're Lovin' the journey!
Coming from a professional sound engineer of 7 years from a large Church: Great job. Ambient is definitely the way to go for an organ. I'm astounded at how well that organ sound expands even in such a small room. (The reverb was a nice touch too.) Props to Rode for contributing to the ongoing experiment. 👍
Okay I know this is old news but I just want to say how much the LEDs lighting up the pipes makes a huge difference in making the organ feel alive
not to mention the help with the tuning...
Love the LEDs, simple yet effective
I'd love to see it with the overhead lights off
Thank you. Giggles 😊
very Animusic
You don't often hear a pipe organ in a small room like this, and it's a very cool sound
You want to feel it too!
When you hit the low notes, it's awesome!
I’m actually really excited for when he gets (whom I presume to be Anna Lapwood) in, because of this specifically.
I’m intrigued to hear what she thinks of that dynamic.
It's interesting because you can easily add a big church reverb to this, but in a church you can't take the reverb away!
Boy that sounds so good! That little touch of reverb really works wonders!
You can actually hear some stereo separation with this setup as well. Sounds like being there!
It would be cool if you call the original tuning company that's written on the console (I checked some videos ago and they're still open) to tune the organ as it always was tuned!
But... DIY!?
@@greatestytcommentator he said he doesn't want to... it would be nice tho
Keep in mind the pipes are apparently from several different locations originally, though I agree with the sentiment, it would be cool to see that tuning company show up
@@spearmintderg exactly my point! Althought the reed and string pipes are pretty damaged hahah
@@spearmintderg ok, so checking out on the Internet again it seems like that J.W. Walker and Sons are not just organ tuners but also organ builders! But as I said it seems like they're still running their company
Oh, mate, the Anna Lapwood collab, to which I'm assuming you're referring, would be great, but have just loved this series so much, and can go as long as long as you like. Best thing ever rescuing this marvelous creation 👍
I love this "if all else fails, consult the manual" approach with the microphones.
Also works for the organ! haha
Really? Using a manual? I thought the whole talk about placing Microphones would show the manual is to be left in the box haha
Sam, you better fill that room with some smoke, turn the lights down and make a video playing some spooky tunes for Halloween!
Also what an absolute legend you are Sam. Thanks for all your efforts, and I'm glad humans like you exist. You make us all better people.
@@georgihristov4415 He already did, not such a good idea... look at the old videos.
Dressed as the Phantom of the Opera. And I need to hear In the Hall of the Mountain King at least once on this amazing setup.
Vapor through pipes de tunes it. Fog air is denser and the tuning goes flat.
@@michaelshultz2540 It would add to the Halloween feel
And as soon as the fog is gone the tuning goes back to normal.
Wow Sam!! That sound was just epic!!! She sounded good just on the camera mics but now... just don't have the words!!!
The most realistic midi organ ever :3
Great work Sam - looks and sounds great!
Just remember to disable the high-pass filter on the RODECaster, to allow those big pipes to really come through in the bass.
Can't wait to hear more!
Aha! Oh yeah forgot the hi pass! Ahaa well I have another vid with setup in a couple of days I'll be doing so ha. Oops. Cheers!
Nice! For recording, one thing I like to do when I have multiple microphones is to keep the close microphones dry and apply the reverb (and possibly some delay) to the far mics. When mixed, it can make a small room sound large. It also reduces problems with phase cancellation.
You should be seriously PROUD of what you have (re) created here. Beautiful, and dam it sounds fantastic!
It would be very cool indeed if Miss Lapwood were to visit and play your lovely pipe organ!
Ooooooh yes good idea
Two weeks ago I got a flat tire and I watched the last video from the tire center lobby. Somehow I got another slow tire leak a couple days ago and you uploaded this just in time for me to watch it once again from this lobby. Thanks for keeping me sane. 😂
The universe has a sense of humor sometimes
The organ tuning sounds 100x better than in the last video, amazing work getting it to that point on your own!
For recording / using the mics, it would probably be best to use a single pair at a time, arranged in a stereo configuration (X/Y or ORTF) to save any issues with phasing between the two pairs in the room.
I wonder if boundary microphones would well in this application. I used a couple PZM microphones in an old school house with a piano and it sounded amazing.
@@FeelingLikeThatNow the great thing with PZMs is they can make the room sound twice as big if they're taped to a wall or ceiling. I used to record with mine taped to a door.
@@FeelingLikeThatNow All depends on the room I guess!
The new mics sounds amazing. I've just absolutely loved the organ project. You inspire me! Your music, your wide-ranging skills, and your irreverent, fun-loving sense of humor all make me very happy. I'm a bit sad that this particular project is winding down, but know I'll have fun checking out your other ventures. If I ever make it over to London, *This Museum Is Not Obsolete* is right up there with Abbey Road for me to visit.
Great to see you on Sonicstate Sam, was shocked how down to Earth you are, well not shocked in a bad way, just really happy that you're a cool grounded guy.
Thanks for posting vids like these, they're awesome.
It sounds so so good!
The microphones are awesome, just set the noise gate correctly or better yet, see if you can find a gated noise filter instead or realise that idea with the given effects . The microphones are arranged pretty well too, you can quite easily tell which way your head is facing, while you're talking (13:15) . However, the balance and F/B seems to be a little off . I suggest levelling them by using a small single speaker facing upwards in the middle of the room, playing white noise and then you can level and EQ the microphones pretty easily . Many "00s and "10s Surround systems came with a microphone, to basically do the opposite . Then do a final touch up by ear and add reverb or whatever else, you may come up with.
Hope I'll be able to visit some day, until then,
greetings from Germany
Went to the museum a couple of weeks ago and experienced the organ first hand. Too too cool... and the museum is absolutely insane... really wanna go back and sample up everything ..! //spike
This is just such an amazing story. It brings a smile to my face every time you put out a piece about the organ.
Both you and Joan are the best type of people. Saving the organ in the first place, and then _again_.
Honestly this might already be one of the best permanent organ recording solutions around. This is lovely!
You're right Sam, it sounds pretty damn good! Is so cool to have a pipe organ in the museum. I wish I lived in the UK so I could see the museum!
It's amazing how much that little bit of reverb changes the feel of the organ! Awesome work, I love seeing these videos :)
I would really like to hear the full version of "you don't know what you are dooooooooing." 🤣
Brilliant work Sam. I am sure Joan would be thrilled with this! Wholesome full bodied sounds and I agree with the other comments that touch of Verb reallys adds too the FLAVOUR!
I always enjoy your "internet heckler" impressions lol
As a Swede I feel obligated to recommend getting in touch with Anna Von Hausswolff about playing the organ.
No digital synth (and most analog too) can't even try to compete, even the most expensive ones, with THAT sound. Incredible. Marvelous machine. Really cool to give it a new life.
Sounds wonderful with a bit of reverb. Now it really has the feel of a proper church organ.
Sounds like you found the panning feature. Great reproduction. Can't wait for the tuning (although you've got it fairly close!!).
Sounds very nice. I still can't get over that people are not hyping the synth-organ crossoverpiece of yours more, I think it was absolutely genious. The one a few (joans organ) videos back
Oh dude, that sounds so fantastic. So much more rich sounding with the mics added 😀
This setup sounds chuffing brill, really clear with a nice subtle reverb. What a beauty!
+1 for the numbers on the board
That Bach was a great surprise. I really want an organ at home now.
You're so awesome Sam. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Brilliant, the organ just keeps getting better and better!
Living the dream! Amazing result from the beginning to now. Genius!
The best thing about 4K is being able to read the sign on the organ.
Wholesome.
"Due To some Rework on the organ this past week it is quite out of tune today!
We do apologise, give it a go! But don't expect it to be perfect today :D "
This project came such a long way, very nice sound with your Rode mics.
Simple enough suggestion indeed.
Thank you. I would have never in my life heard this music otherwise
Thank you for your loving attention to detail in bringing this gem to life!
That sounds great!! Have played organs like this, the new mics make such a difference to the sound. I’ve really enjoyed this journey
Very cool! I'm really enjoying this series of videos, and I think I'll miss it when it's complete.
Really enjoyed my visit and meeting you the other week. I love the idea of the organ being played by musicians remotely across the Internet.
That sounds amazing! I love the idea of being able to play it over the internet, and looking forward to it.
The lack of space takes away the reverb and echo compared to a church, makes it sound like a fairground organ
And that's a bad thing? No :D
Sounds like you're volunteering to pay the rent on a bigger place for Sam's museum. How kind.
I love it! I think Widors Toccata would be a great test for this beauty!
These organ vids light up my month.
God on Rode, sounds so good, much better than before.
This is so cool. Not too many people can say they have an organ, and one that they more or less put together themselves at that.
Wow it sounds so good!! Beautiful!
The organ sounds AMAZING through the mic setup, and I enjoyed watching you set up the interface to record it; mixing the close and far mics. The playback device or visitors was a great idea too. As someone who CAN play the keyboard, I think I'd very much enjoy playing the instrument and sitting back listening to some of those songs on the device. And THANK YOU for not adding a touchscreen!!! As someone with low vision, considered legally blind, I HATE the profusion of inaccessible touchscreens on everything from self-checkouts to softdrink machines!! The only touchscreens I use are iOS devices with VoiceOver screen reader, but not for music-making! Okay, signing off now that I've written a book!! :)
Wow that sound is awesome, made my hair stand up listening to it with IEMs. Keep up the good work!! 👍
Hans Zimmer' wet dream this. Fantastic work so far!
thnx for this long series, it sounds truly back alive
The Rode NT1 series of microphones are fantastic. The NT1A was a legend back in the day.
love the sound of it
You are a hero of the internet. Never stop!
Nice one Sam just that touch of reverb makes all the difference! Well done me old son.
Nice work. The tuning and mics worked out very well. Thank you sir.
I visited the museum a couple weeks ago, it was soooo good!!! just wish i knew more about how to use syths and also me being able to play a bit of piano would have been good... playing waltz of the fleas (the only thing i can play) on the famous church organ was a lot of fun anyway! Would 100% come back again for a guided tour
That sounds fantastic compared to the old camera audio! The organ itself is sounding fantastic as well! Nice job getting it in good order and thank you for sharing this wonderful project with us!
Id love to see a sound fond of this organ ❤️
The Queen's Funeral March, the introduction song of A Clockwork Orange, was the best possible choice. A well deserved like, Sir!
That sounds absolutely awesome, especially with the touch of reverb. Thanks to Røde for the sweet equipment that helps take an already-special instrument next-level!
I have an idea. A “Look Mum An Organ”plugin. But not an emulation. You send a midi file and the organ plays it in real time and you record it into your DAW. Wait times could get long, but it would be so worth it.
When everything finally comes together, this has such a heartwarming beauty !
You saved this beautiful instrument. You have made it relevant once more.
It sounds so good, awesome project! I can;'t wait for the next installment!
oh wow, the mic's really help soften the really high pitched pipes!
Your work ethic and sense of fun is just outstanding ... encore!
Nice work Sam! I have no idea watcha on about but I'm watching!
If you manage to get automated public internet playing and recording setup I think you might start an entire internet trend/genre where people can make awesome organ "covers" of ANY kind of song. I could see the recordings being put into games, weddings, tiktok trends and all sorts of unique places, and I am so here for it :D
That outro is one of the funniest things I've seen this week. 😂 Awesome update on the organ.
The sound difference is night and day, wow that sounds good.
Nice! I love hearing how this organ rebuild is progressing.
After watching all the videos hearing the organ like this was really epic. Well done!
Wow these sequences sound really good on an organ
That thing sounds so much bigger with the stereo mics. Absolutely incredible
Excellent. I teared up a little. Voice of gawd it is.
Great stuff Sam! I'm a big fan of Rode mics AND pipe organs. Sounds wonderful here. 😎
Sounds great through the new microphones!
Sam! That sounds amazing! Just your maintenance/tuning with a nice mic setup and the difference is actually incredible.
It's almost as if you really did Know What You're Doing... 🤔
Amazing amount of work you've put in! With amazing results! Well done!
Great stuff Sam! I finally noticed the hymn numbers and had a laugh! As a long time programmer, I am also always off by one!
2:38 - Love the 'Philip Glass' type tune! 😁😁😁😁
Such a difference with the new setup, its almost like I'm there!
wow the miced up organ sounds really nice
This entire project absolutely pegs the cool meter. So very well done. I can't wait to hear it when you get it fully tuned and a real organist to play it. Maybe you can talk Anna Lapwood into giving it a go?
got all the important numbers up on the wall, each minus 1, love it
In tune and hearing frequencies below 100Hz, sounds great! 👍
Thank christ, it's finally in tune! 🥳😅😀
It sounds bloody brilliant Great work Sam
Thank you for this project Sam. The organ sounds great!
I hope it's Anna Lapwood! She's fun!
What a great sound this makes through you new mic setup! Nice touch with the reverb!
