Lots of great info here and just overall excellent pacing. Great job on this video!

[@Boehmrunner1]

Thanks for the informative video! The sE VR1 or VR2 are also awesome ribbons designed for brass and don’t break the bank, especially used.

[@basiliskuku]

love your videos and energy Bob, to the point as always. I decided to learn the trumpet after many years as a drummer and this instrument is fantastic, should have started it earlier, love it!

[@glennholdaway5356]

Great video Bob, super helpful! Thanks so much for the info!

[@michaelfreeman3329]

Excellent video, very helpful. Thanks so much for making this.

[@CameronJay]

Thanks Bob, nice clean video there and great demo!

[@coreyramirez4352]

Great video! I got a SM7B around a year ago. Couldn’t live without it😂

[@JohnCervantesMusic]

This video was exactly what I was looking for, thanks

[@timothymcarr]

The Royer and your Martin sound great together don’t they!? Love the channel. Keep it up!

[@alecj3454]

Yeah those ribbon mics sound niiiice. I have to say, i do like the Electro Voice RE 20 a lot. Its not as warm as the ribbon mics but its got a clarity that makes a difference.
Great video. Enjoyed it and learned something.

This is such a great video. Been tempted to get a ribbon mic or just build one from micparts, and this video helps show the Royer is a great choice if I can get my hands on one. Also, I'm really happy that there's a music school in Ridgewood! Wish this was around when I was starting music at IS77!

[@josephcowdrick438]

love your content. Something I would love to hear you talk about are trumpet tricks like glisses and Doits and shakes.

[@edbeales8732]

Nice work....

[@jkimsc]

Great video. Really appreciate the perspective. Super helpful. Is that a Martin Committee? Would love to hear your thoughts on trumpets you've used/owned.

[@benoittissier58]

Just for the sake of leaving a comment. I'll try the V7x because it's more balanced than the SM57. Then the Rode NT1 with its quiet top end. Then the KSM32 according to the reviews.

I use the Warm Audio WA47 jr. Works great for trumpet.

[@jtn191]

what model of trumpet are you playing here? sounds great!

[@NPWIII]

Thanks for all the great advice! Do you happen to know where to buy a Fathead II? They seem to be all sold out.

[@picardy1907]

For home recording, or even performance, what about clip on mic's? I get some great recordings from mine but I do need to filter out the low sounds, including the valves sounds!

[@MartinTrumpetino]

how to stop the airy sound ? will pop filter help ?

[@jellezwart9155]

Is a mic like the WA47 also good for playing live?

[@AnthonyRochester]

I wouldn't recommend it, I'd be scared it'd get damaged, and for live work you want something more directional

[@EzequielLagrottaTrompetista]

Hello! I read that the AT2035 it's the equivalent of AT3035. What do you think about it? Thanks!

[@unknownquantity4440]

Do you have favorite mic picks for LIVE performance? Both wired and wireless?
