Thank you for the no talk comparison and really good playing!

[@javipenaguitar]

I’m glad you like it! 😀 thanks!

[@juanbrievaluthier6637]

Killer playing!!!!
Neumann km84 my favourite!!!!! its just perfect and pleasant to listen.
AKG 451 sounds amazing and detailed
DPA4011 is a total deception, It costs 6 times as much as the AKG 451. Its just different, not better than AKG 451

Lo que suena bien es esa guitarra en las manos de Javier Peña y la reparacion que le hiciste tu!!

Did you ever use the AKG on a resonator guitar?

[@javipenaguitar]

Yea, indeed the AKG sounds great on everything, but a little bit sharper sound, more edgy. For a resonator I mostly use big condenser capsule microphone, for more low end frequencies.

[@BLOUZouki]

@@javipenaguitar thx for the tip!

[@Nick_Sorenson]

Also sounds stereo to me. Maybe a room mic or camera mic or stereo reverb.

[@javipenaguitar]

I recorded with just one mic every take with no room mic, I just added a bit of reverb (maybe the bounce process🤷🏽‍♂️)

[@julianpedro3215]

Neumann BEST! Thanks

[@javipenaguitar]

I think so too, but the AKG 451 is s a great cheap mic with a lot of definition

[@TheRealCowlick]

Ain‘t matter what mic you put in front of that playing, it‘s gonna sound amazing anyways!

[@javipenaguitar]

Ha! Thanks buddy appreciate it!

[@attybong]

which one do you think is best?

[@javipenaguitar]

IMHO both are great mics. The old Neumann is a more airy, balanced and warmer sounding mic, overall is the winner. But the 451 being a much cheaper mic do his job very well. It depends on your budget mostly, but both can sound really well.

[@dominik4614]

Yeah
More Reverb for Neumann

[@Hello-pl2qe]

Is that stereo? It doesnt sound mono? Nice playing

[@javipenaguitar]

It’s in mono I only recorded the signal of one mic at a time. The room maybe?

[@daniduhamel9758]

Song Name?

[@javipenaguitar]

I played some parts of different songs. The fingerpicking part is a song we recorded with The Blackguards “this ole train” from a LP we recorded at Nashville
