Heck yeah! Very grateful for your technical and artistic insights. Just joined 🎉

So much dimension added, and almost a “Soothe”-like removal of anything brittle too. Wonderful demonstration and some clearly great EQ decisions with it too. “Sounds like a record”.

What’s the riff? Sounds great!

Did you record with compression or is it "just" controlled performance because after eqing it sounds closed to a natural yet finished result which doesn't need further compression on individual tracks imo. It suits the song. Great video as usual!

All i can say is...great production and terrific song...very impressed

Amazing. I really like what the compressor did for the tones of this song. It really handled the dynamics of the song structure. I really noticed the movement when the E. Guitar and piano come in on the right channel along with the falsetto-esq vocals. Great song by the way. Reminds me of Jeff Buckley with a bit of Coldplay parachutes. I love the barking at the end as I’ve had this happen to me so many times.

I love this on my drum bus. I use the drum preset then dial it in.

Loved this vid. Amazing performance.

Great song , great eq. You’re a talented singer, writer and engineer. Subscribed.

The saturation in this plugin sounds really awesome from what I can hear in this video, it seemed to polish and bring more clarity to the whole mix in a really pleasing way when saturated at 100%. When on all individual tracks and the master, it brought the whole mix more life, detail, clarity in a really natural and pleasing way. The plugin sounds awesome to be honest.

that piano sound the 3d feel....the vibes of the song.....feelings

well great - and next do a comparison between the sound of a true 013 omni capsule and the omni rendering from the 013 ambisonic. I'm always a bit skeptical when it comes to ambisonic because of all the coloration a usual cardioid capsule has off axis. This should be leading to strange colorations across the spherical sound coverage that potentially should be very different to a usual omni capsule that just loses high-end. In the same way I'm not sure about the rendered figure of 8, since the actual benefit of an figure of 8 mic - the pretty linear reduction of anything off axis - might not be possible by combining 4 cardioids. at the same time both ends of that virtual figure of 8 might sound completely different - one end might end up being right on axis of one capsule, the other end surely not

Great video. Thanks. Does anybody know how the circuit is affected by the different modes? Can’t find any circuit diagrams or pictures online. Do the switches engine/disengage the transformers or switch them from series to parallel mode? I don’t see any other circuitry in the single photo of the internals. Having built a few saturation circuits I’m intrigued by how this devices works. Thanks.

Plugin sounds better

Done. Matt, I feel this. Congrats on being one of the guys doing it the right way… it was obvious early, and as you’ve gotten more and more awesome gear (ugh those Coils!!)… you’ve maintained a really great standard of quality and integrity. Good luck with this. I’m sure it will work. Marty

Sounds great!

Great Vid Matt... As it went along I found my understanding of what each mic does, growing... entertaining and definitely useful. THANKS for always making quality stuff! -Marty

Signed up!

Your videos are excellent. The detail and thorough real world demonstration examples make your videos stand out and so valuable to many im sure. They certainly have been for me. I’m wishing you all the best. You’re doing it the right way.. with integrity and up front honesty. God bless your plans.

I’m in!

Excited for the future of your channel!

Listened to this Sylamore Special song on Apple Music and this Ambisonic recording is 10000% better sounding. Did you record the original version too?

These guys owe you MONEY sir… The sound is undeniable here. The song is really cool and your instincts of how frequent and at which point to bypass is pitch perfect. Altogether a highly enjoyable and repeat watches or review/performance. Hats off!

Man, especially on the favorite setting sections at the end, I much preferred the hardware. The tonal quality was similar but there was just a world of 3D character that's hard to describe that just disappears when the hardware is removed. IMO the software sounds a little flat and lifeless by comparison. Listening on Adam A77x's through a MOTU 828es in a treated room.

Why so little bottom end?

UTA or BAE? I wish something like Neve was also shot out. That would be fantastic.

Sounds really close.

the front-back depth in the ambisonic jumps out at me. the 11 sounds flatter to me... lovely transparent sound.

These sound great. Because the price is right at my budget, where the 013 were a bit over for me. And they can fit well for the main things I want this for: Fingerpicked acoustic. For steel string, but especially my main guitar, a nylon concert classical. And similarly for an older more closed sounding piano. On your piano I preferred the 011, and I think I would prefer the 011s with old upright too. And also good to have something that will work well for additional layers of plucked intruments, like Mandolins, and possibly could work on strings too, maybe especially for more definition definition on Double Bass & Cello? In a mix with a delicate solo vocal, they could come into their own for strummed guitar too, dreadnoughts midrange can crowd a vocal, where what you might want is less thick mids and more of that sparkle the 011s impart. I also think that these could make good drum overhead / cymbal mics. Especially for lighter styles like Jazz, Folk, getting out of the way of the snare and tom mics in a way that the thicker-mid 013 won't. Could do the not too expensive overhead/cymbal SDC pair job better than Beyerdynamic MCE930 (smooth, but a little dark and more expensive), Oktava 012 (nice crunch, but a little grainy), Shure KSM-141 (nice but a little dry/lo-fi) or AKG C451b (clear but a little brittle). Whereas with the 011s I more hear clarity/definition. Have you tried them on overheads?

This is great! I have both the hardware CA-70S and the plugin too - had been thinking about doing a similar video, but you've done it way better than I would! I definitely notice more chunk and a slightly (very very slightly) smoother top when recording - the mixbus was much harder to seperate! I'd been thinking about getting a second CA70S, but the plugin might be stopping me doing that - at least it makes it trickier to get the wallet out.

Talent always comes through ,sounds great

very nice! i have 2pcs superrare AKG C424 four channel output mics, which sound incredible. you could get one from me if of interest.

the violinist is incredible wow . Amazing voice !

You put so much work into that video!

dude…you’re wonderful 💪😉👍

He could have used other major brand axes😅 …for those who aren’t into Taylor sound …e.g. Collings or Santa Cruz OM’s🎉 btw Thanks …the difference is obvious but could be dependent on wood make up had he used another guitar that’s built with spruce y hog

Brilliant video. The first time I learned about ambisonics was when I went to an audio engineering school for 2 years in Oslo, Norway, back in 1987. My teacher had an original Calrec Soundfield microphone which he had used on many recordings. I have always wanted to do ambisonic recordings but I have done live sound most of my career so I never got around to it. But now I have my own recording studio and this video was a great inspiration to go get an ambisonic mic. Thank you for this most beautiful video.

Is just one preamp/p48 required or 4, one for each capsule? Ah, found it, 4 preamps are required: “Preamp Level Matching Use four identical preamps and ensure that all four channels are set to equal gain. This is crucial to capture an accurate sound field and prevents any discrepancies in your recording.”

I wasn't prepared for how good this sounds. Bonkers. Great video!

Beautiful and informative 🎯
