  • I'm a big fan of Aston Microphones. I owned the Aston Origin for a few years and had been using it to record my commercial releases from my studio.
    So when Aston got in contact and offered me a new Aston Spirit, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to do a comparison video between the two microphones and give my honest opinion.
    Hopefully this video will help you make an informed decision if you're in the market to upgrade your audio recording equipment.
    Thank you to Aston Microphones

    Thanks for nice video Shao道!
    I felt that the Spirit had a richer resolution.
    Actually, my Aston Origin broke a few days ago and I was looking for what to buy next, but this video made me want the Spirit!
    The Origin was great for recording overhead drums as well as vocals and acoustic guitar, but this is the second time it has broken, so I'm a little concerned about durability.

    Thank-you. I have the Origin and this video helped me decide on the Spirit. After listening to them both on my set-up, I agree fully with your findings. It is even more noticeable than I thought it would be after listeing to the TH-cam based comparisons. I heard it instantly, especially the low end. My Origin will now be used as a second mic for acoustic guitar et. cetera. So as you said, it adds that little extra overall, and certainly more low end I want for male vocals.

    Just started watching this, but just purchased the spirit, and a studio I go to has 2 origins and swears by them. Thought I'd try the spirit for the transformer sound. Not tried it yet but can't wait. So in the mean time. Thanks.

      Depends on your personal circumstances. But quick answer would be The Spirit

    How does the mic and halo work in an untreated bedroom??

    • @ShaoGoExplore
      @ShaoGoExplore  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Personally, I'd do all you can to treat your bedroom, hang some blankets up or invest in an isolation ball and reflection backboard. Even the best mics can sound terrible in the wrong recording environment.

    The origin is the spirit with 80 rolloff turned off. Why would you get the spirit when you could eq the end off or turn the 80rolloff switch on the spirit to sound more origin like

      @@ShaoDowMusic the reason Aston made the spirit was because the origin wasn’t having the low sound like the spirit does that’s why the spirit wins out of all the other Aston microphones is because is the one that is the easiest to EQ

    Thanks for the clarification ! For those with a rough voice, what is the best choice SPIRIT or ORIGIN?

      I'd say the spirit if you can afford it, just because it gives you a much more rich tone in the recording
