Also just purchased a huge building to turn into rehearsal tracking rooms and im looking for a cheap Decent Stereo ribbon for the Room.....Are there any cheap mods i could do to a cheap off the self mic (Aint got the money for a AEA but i want the sound) any advice would be awesome...PS i was looking at throwing up a matched pair of your mics??Would this work...

Manny where can i get a stereo matched pair of your mics in the UK...

Very cool!! I’ve got a Nady RSM-5. It’s a really nice sounding, budget ribbon mic.

Great Video about this Mic. Thanks. strange foil, yes that looks like aluminum-coated plastic

Manny is the man!

I recall a boundary mic mod on a Radio Shack model that was all the rage but can't remember the deets

Manny if you get a free moment checkout The Way (Original Mix) Mordant Music, it's on yt and theirs a b side called smasha, did them 2004. Pic disc as well and you can view the images on discogs. Mordant Music label. Peace Manny.

Great stuff Manny, giving the mics a new lease of life and making them even better. Brilliant, cheers bro👊

The fade on the foil is sometimes down to spittle/voice moisture discolouring the coating on it. I've often thought about buying these mics as they're dirt cheap but didnt like the capacitor circuit they put in to give it all that top end. That ribbon protector should be screwed down imvho. Tape is just nasty. Really great video by the way!!

Manny I do like that Los Angeles track, its smashing so I purchased it.

Great channel. Thanks for the detailed work. Can you put a new ribbon in an old Octavia ribbon?

Not the oldest music maker channel on youtube, but one of the best for sure. Thank you for the video!

Came for the mic, stayed for the music at the end. Dig that song

Great info on this ribbon mic Manny !

Here is a cool peek into upgrading a ribbon microphone

Good work. I really like Idles - Ultra Mono. Had a very definite force in sound, an album that knows what it's about. Love my JZ Vintage 67. It's like a World War I soldiers hip flask. Sounds great too, smoooooth. The Soyuz Bomblet 023, and it's more expensive tube big brothers, are beautiful sounding and looking mics too. Some of these kinds of mics could end up becoming cult classics. I see those Soyuz really starting to get around. Have a look at the British-made Extinct BM9 'The Viking' too, works of art, kinda like a Starck juicer. Then there's the Extinct Valkyr stereo ribbon mic. I don't know what to say, if the JZ BH mount looks like beads, the Valkyr is definitely a statement 'piece' ;) I think I saw Moses Schneider use that periscope mic as his 'wurst' (knee) mic.

Damn that sounds good through that machine. Super rich, all the harmonic saturation u want

"Anal Beads" 🤣Love it!

The intro for this reminds me of Repo Man,which has the best Soundtrack of all time!

Thanks!

Cool episode! Stupid question… what kind of tape is the green tape - gaffer? Thanks!

What an amazing collection of mics. Fantastic video. Cheers Manny👍

Sounds awesome Manny, waoh. Right on brother👊

Side shot- badass

Glorious

it sounds great even listening from youtube. i imagine its a bomb listening in the studio 😮

MXR made some great stuff, I used to love pitch transposer.

Wowza on analog drum sounds via this Mara 16 track

That sounds good 😊

I love thrift stores!! Army/Navy stores are always fun as well!! 😃👍🏻

Hello Philip K. Dick

Man I love those type of shops, it's an Alladins cave for me. So much cool stuff. Cheers Manny

Get a type writer and mod it so it becomes the computer keyboard, now that would be funny..

Hope you dig my Saturday Ha ❤

f**k yeah!

Mic'd is not a word.

U only say that cuz u neva herd me! Ya her?! 😂 Another cool one! 🤘

Hi Manny. Steve here, Phil’s Cousin. I’ve been a fan of yours since we were young enough to do party favors. So sorry to hear your friend died. 😢 He will live on forever in this powerful and poignant song you wrote. As always I love your sound and dig the tunes. How soon can we buy a copy of the LP? I’d love to share your new album with my viewers on my RUclips channel. I just subscribed to your channel. Keep on rockin’ You guys are in TOP form! Steve

What happens if you release it at 2am.. 4 am ? What does the algorithm do then, manny? Manny manny Bo banny banana fanna fo Fanny

Hey Manny, I have the crickets and a weird problem with my 2 way genelec speakers when I use them. The phase is reversed in the tweeter vs.the main driver. On both speakers? can’t trust them.. are my speakers wrong? I haven’t used them much after I discovered this .What do you suspect is going on here? ☮

I love the WA-47 on drums too. But also on bass, and male voice. For LDCs, I love the Lauten Atlantis and Clarion, Mojave M-200, Chandler TG Type L, Soyuz 023 Bomblet, Soyuz 1973 & JZ Vintage 67. And the WA 251 is great on female vocals too. On the cheap, I also really like the Advanced CM-48 FET. For pricier SDC pair, Soyuz 013. For cheaper, the Warm Audio KM-84s are nice on overheads, and also acoustic guitar. The Oktava MK-012 for acoustic guitar, or for super cheap the £100 Line Audio CM4. Completely with you on the love the Beyer m201 on snare, but also bass, clean electric guitar, acoustic guitar, even toms. They're much cheaper than 421s but equally useful. I do like 421 on floor tom, bass, especially a vintage jazz double bass sound. EV RE-20 is my favourite bass dynamic mic and also a really good vocal mic. RE-320 is good for kick drum. Love R-121s, but Extinct Audio BM9 is a very nicely made Royer R-121 alternative. About similar price for a pair of BM9s as one R-121. And definitely sound better than the similar priced Royer R-10. Beyer M160 for the win for me, in not super crazy expensive ribbon mics. A pair of M160s is so useful, for overheads, guitar cabs. But on a budget, Cascade Fathead and GAP R1-A mk.II are also way nicer than they should be for their price. Would love to have one of those Vanguard stereo mics, for room but also piano. The Austrian Audio OC-16 are nice 414 like mics that are good on piano, guitar, toms. SM7b, they're also killer as a hi-hat close mic, also on snare bottom, bass cab too.

Great invention. Cheers Manny the crickets rock ✊
