it's so beautiful to watch a video and listen someone being honest about tubes 💕🙏 without the ""warm"" cliche and all that bullshit...FETs and tubes are just components, without a properly circuit around them they are just a chunk of material.
Love the comparisons, but I would love to have heard these comparisons in a full mix too. Like whatever mic you would normally use on the instrument and then the FET vs Tube
The FET is just so much faster with the transients and it feels like there is more top end detail in it. The Tube still has a lot of high end, but because it doesn't respond as fast it seems like its more smooth.
Tubes are not slower, they just compress the signal, giving the impression of "slowness." Tube mics excepting the u67 have little or no negative feedback. Fet mics are designed with lots of negative feedback so they operate clean until they hit a threshold. It depends how hard you are hitting the input.
I’m just about to open my studio to the public and I found the topic very helpful because I never put much thought into the tonal aspect of different microphones and how much closer the right microphone can get you to the sound you have in your head
That was really illuminating, man. I've been looking at tube mic upgrades for the studio for a while now (shoestring budget) and thinking a lot about where it would apply and how. That 3D sound you described seems to lend itself really well to vocals, metal rhythm guitars, drum room and acoustic instruments. I found the top end a little harsh in some of the more sibilant electric guitar lines, but blend the low end of a tube mic with the top end of something like an SM57 or even one of my Earthworks SDC's and I bet something magical would happen. Thanks as always for the awesome content man!
I love these styles where you geek out on the differences. BUT! I would love a quick note on the bottom or some audio saying which is which so I can learn to hear what you're describing
Great video! I'm a huge fan of Soyuz mics. I use a Bomblet for vocals, VO work, and acoustic guitar. It's one of my all time favorite condenser mics. I'd really love to see how you think it compares to the rest of the Soyuz lineup for vocals.
Wow, I feel like in the acoustc the tubes slower transcient response makes some of the hits in the gutar sound kind of compressed but in a niced controlled way. Also I feel the low end was more consistent in the tube, in the FET I hear the jumps in the low end more exagerated.
This is something no one is asking. Would a Fet mic go well with a Fet compressor? I have a MC77 purple audio. It’s said by some to be even better than the original 1076. Lots of singing engineers go with opto compressors. And either a tube mic or no tube. I never thought about this until now. Would it be bad to mix Fet and Fet? The compressor already adds a bunch of color. I don’t really hear of Fet and Fet mix. When it comes to compressor and mics. I hear of opto and tube mic or Opto compression and something like the U87. Any thoughts on this? Thanks
I love this type of video. The conversational style is nice, but what I really liked was the "case study" approach to comparing equipment. You did something similar with the 57 vs $10,000 ($12,000) worth of mics video. Love it!
I love the Vacuum tube mic over anything else, Iam a Ham radio operator and I use Vacuum tube Ham gear, My transmitter is a 70's era vacuum tube unit and my RF amp (Radio Frequency) uses vacuum tubes to generate a little over 2kw of power, the reports I get from other Ham operators around the World have nothing but good things to say about the transmitted audio. Nothing beats a vacuum tube!!!
The theories could still apply. But that would be hard to test. There may be one out there. But, I don’t know of a preamp with a tube a none tube circuit.
Pick attack seems a touch more harsh on the FETs , but in a full song/mix , probably wouldn't notice it ....Unless you bumped up that frequency range with EQ
I like this style of video if the point of the video is not another boring shootout of 1176 clones. Ha! This was a good one. I just wish you included how you micd it up with a quick chain overview and how the mics were placed. Literally like 30 seconds
All depends on the tube you use. New stock tubes sound about 10% different from FET, whereas expensive NOS tubes from the 40s and 50s can sound 200% different.
Maybe someone else made this comment... but one of the big deals with a tube vs. the fet is the harmonic spectrum that it favors (odd vs. even)...Our ears like the odd ones more which the tube enhances naturally. I really believe that is where 80% of the magic comes from. IDK.. I'm a lifelong student--so I'm not set in stone here.. just an observation that I've made along the way. That dude is a killer picker! (and you have very good ears, IMO).
Why so over-compressed, and why oh why are the waveforms hitting at over 0 dB? For all I know the A/D is clipping transients that the mic attempts to pass along, but cannot. Confusing.

Absolutely beautiful sounding acoustics .. wow!

I love this type of video! I'm always experimenting with this sort of thing and usually don't have anyone as nerdy as me to talk about the results. 🤘

You should be able to see the track we are soloing
@@RecordingStudioLoser 5.4" phone screen. Completely impossible to read what's on what channel. Austrian Audio hi-x55 headphones though 😬
Gotcha. I'll change it next time!
@@RecordingStudioLoser thanks man! And thank you for the videos. Very inspiring. I'm learning A LOT
Loved the vid! This stuff is dope
Did you Guys shoot out the Bomblet against the 017s on vocals yet? super curious for that!
ruclips.net/video/b07Iu2KEhEQ/видео.html. Boom. The giveaway I talk about is over but you can see the two next to each other in a few contexts
Great video! I'm a huge fan of Soyuz mics. I use a Bomblet for vocals, VO work, and acoustic guitar. It's one of my all time favorite condenser mics. I'd really love to see how you think it compares to the rest of the Soyuz lineup for vocals.
Can confirm that they all sound the same on a phone
You all are awesome! Great video
Please make more of this
The tube versions, in pretty much every example, sound more hifi to me.
Wow, I feel like in the acoustc the tubes slower transcient response makes some of the hits in the gutar sound kind of compressed but in a niced controlled way. Also I feel the low end was more consistent in the tube, in the FET I hear the jumps in the low end more exagerated.
Love the relaxed feel. Could been an hour long and I would loved it
I love mic comparisons more plz
Interesting!! Love the style of the video :). Did you compress on the way in??
No just straight in
@@RecordingStudioLoser Damn! Sounds great - probably a combination of a great player and RUclips getting lucky on the built-in compression!

Love it❤
what about using preamps with tubes instead of in the mics, anyone know if it ends up having the same effect or if it is different somehow sound-wise?
The theories could still apply. But that would be hard to test. There may be one out there. But, I don’t know of a preamp with a tube a none tube circuit.
Dude I was with you all the way up until Manbun.
EXCELLENT
I was thinking of dropping some cash on some Soyus mics.
Could never stand the SM57. 😒
Pick attack seems a touch more harsh on the FETs , but in a full song/mix , probably wouldn't notice it ....Unless you bumped up that frequency range with EQ
Love it
To my ears on my setup, it sounds like the big difference is the tube slows down transient info.
Try some tube swapping IF it is allowed.
I Would... But Unfortunately that's a no go. Can't get any replacements anyway! Lol.

So much I "could" say ...
Крутой ролик, Лузер!
Why so over-compressed, and why oh why are the waveforms hitting at over 0 dB?
For all I know the A/D is clipping transients that the mic attempts to pass along, but cannot.
Confusing.
Overcompressed? There’s no compression whatsoever.
The levels are hitting -18 you can see the meters… No converter will clip that low.
