This is awesome, so good to see Noam Vazana there, gives me wonderful memories back during our time in LA - Thank you for all you do, this is incredible!
Lovely version of a beautiful Neil song! Great sounding mic on all the sounds, especially on the vocal and trombone - awesome performances by a very talented lady!
I left my comment about a couple of possible cover ideas before I listened to this. I just heard it. I haven't heard the original much...anyway, I just closed my eyes and let the whole thing wash over me. Great job by all of you. I'm always waiting for more videos.
absolutely awesome version. my fav NY song - message still not being heard 50 years later! great mike beautiful production - trombone a little surprising! ('Oh I just happen to have one of these in my back pocket,' she said! LOL) Well done all!
Fantastic recording! The Cloud mic really does shine. Great job putting this video together Warren. Always great to follow along with your perspectives and ideas with regards to sound capture and mixing. Keep up the great work brother! 🔥👊🧡👍🔥
Great cover. Great mic. I love ribbons, never owned one or recorded with one but I remember trying to find out how 'Bing' and others of the era got that 'silk' sound as I couldn't figure it out on my own and then learned it was an RCA ribbon. Wonderful. Really excellent demo man!
This is an absolutely stellar mic. I checked it out at NAMM in 2020. (I actually own a few Cloudlifters.) I happen to love ribbon mics. Perhaps you can do more videos like this with other ribbon mics. You noticed how great this mic sounded on bass. I've used my Shure KSM313 ribbon mic on a Mark Bass amp head with Mark 8X10 cabinet; no compression or EQ was needed.
Wow…pleasantly surprised by how great it sounds on acoustic guitars. Love it on trombone (incidentally I recently did a session with trombone and opted to use my JZ V47--relatively shiny, new toy--and was really happy; but I'll have to A-B my 44-A against that). Thanks, as always, for the great/informative videos!
Sounds fantastic. Great job on all the parts. I've used various ribbons but never owned one. This would have to be a serious contender for consideration if for nothing else, it seems to do everything very well.
I just check the multitrack, I never knew that a Ribbon mic could sound so good and clear after adding a little EQ, specially in the vocal I could get a very nice air out of it.
I don't have experience mic'ing. I don't exactly know how to listen for good performance. I did notice the flatness / smoothness of it's inherent spectrum, so I understand that is a sign of good performance? But what else? Lack of sibilance? Thought I heard some. Comparing specs and graphs of course. Wish you hadn't recorded drums. I thought it ruined the mix, plus made everything else, individually, almost impossible to judge critically. I think what your doing here Warren is great for everyone, the manufacturers/retailers and us, the consumers. It's very difficult now-a-days to make educated purchases since most of us have to buy on-line. Providing us with actual in-use performance is invaluable!
Great track! I was a bit surprised to actually hear trombone for the solo. It makes me wish I'd kept up with my trombone playing after high school, but at the time, I just wanted to rock. Oh, and I'm a big fan of ribbons (have a couple) and the Cloud seems pretty well perfect, not only on guitar or bass, but vocals if you're after a vintage sound. Thanks!
I expected this mic to do well on the vocals, the trombone, and the guitars. The surprise was that bass. If I had one (i.e., if I win one) I'd likely never go DI bass again. Nice review. I sat out AES this year even though I'm just a LIRR ride and a walk away from the Javits.
All Along The Watchtower Hendrix version. My all time favorite tune to personally cover. Edit: (Hit the send button too early.) I wasn't expecting anyone to pull out a trombone, which this mic captures extremely well. I use an AEA KU5 for trombone and other brass and some woodwinds.
Nice sounds. I’m not familiar with Neil Young’s music whatsoever, but I really like the character of ribbon mics. How about a Steely Dan cover next time?
What cover should we record next? Please share below!
Would love to hear another Queen song!
Tiny Dancer, Matter of Trust, In a very Unusual Way, If you could read my mind, I'm not going to let it bother me tonight..... Thanks for all you do!
Unchained melody song
Todd Rundgren - Just One Victory or It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference
MOTOWN. Any song. Pleaaaase ! 🙏😊

Next cover.... I would like to be surprised your choice is always superb.
Coming soon! What would you like us to do?
@@Producelikeapro What about Peter Gabriel Solsbury Hill????
@@verdi260 Yes! Already done it:- ruclips.net/video/fZ4uddNyNLo/видео.html

That was a lovely version. What a great mic. Thanks very much for the review and the video, much appreciated
Thanks ever so much Joey! You Rock!
I thought Naom was talented, then the trombone came in, and she just knocked it out of the park. What a joy!
Incredible talent, I agree!
Sounds beautiful.
Thank you!
Wonderful cover ❤
Thanks ever so much!
That sounds so good!❤
Thanks ever so much John!
Wow, fantastic vocalist! ... and trombone player to boot! :D
So lucky to work with these incredible artists!
Sounds fantastic. Great job on all the parts. I've used various ribbons but never owned one. This would have to be a serious contender for consideration if for nothing else, it seems to do everything very well.
Good luck to you and everyone else in winning the microphone!
Wonderful🥰
Wow, that's so cool recording!!!
Thanks ever so much
Loved that, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh no... I missed the entry.
Mic and recording sound amazing.
Great mic! Thanks ever so much

Sounds absolutely great on voice. I wonder how it performs for spoken word? I know the BBC used to use the Coles 4038.
I imagine it will be very cool indeed

Thanks Lawrence! Yes! Trombone!
Always nice to meet a fellow trombonist! :) Do you still own a horn?
@@nanivazana No, long gone, regrettably. 😥
One of the most evocative tunes ever written. Neil, in my mind, is only second to Dylan. This vocalist does great take on this song.
Thanks so much!
@@Producelikeapro there was a female artist who covered in in the 70s, I had it on a ktel record (Canadian hits record). Sparse, acapella, gorgeous...
She really does do a great job... especially with the brass 👊🧡👍

Thanks ever so much! Yes, the mic sounds great on trombone!
pl
Everything sounds better when you throw a trombone in the mix! :)
nothing like a ribbon! I've got a pair each of Beyer m130s and se VR2s!
Thanks for sharing!
Very nice sounding. ;)
Thanks Audrey!
nice sounding ribbon mic, unfortunately not currently available in UK
That’s unfortunate
Good review! By the way I would love to hear the same track into the audient asp4816 console vs the id 44
Niceeee 🔥 🎙
Thanks 🔥
@@Producelikeapro Yessir Yw! Likewise 👍
@@Vmadethebeat thanks ever so much!
Its not a bad choice for her vocal I would say as well, there's a nice touch of presence that naturally pops out.
Thanks ever so much!
Do you prefer 44 or 44-A for male vocal?
Nice sounds. I’m not familiar with Neil Young’s music whatsoever, but I really like the character of ribbon mics. How about a Steely Dan cover next time?
That's a marvellous idea!
can i use the multitracks to help build my portfolio?
Yes!! Warren makes that very clear in many of the early videos and on the website! Have at it - 🤘🏻
Indeed! Go ahead!
Amazing mic and bass... This bass is inexpensive but I love his sound!
It really is! Thanks so much
Bowie's "Space Oddity" or "The Slider" by T-Rex. {please, please). Great mic, recording and rendition!!!!
Would love to do Bowie! Thanks so much
Between AEA and now Cloud, there are 6 RCA 44 style mics on sweetwater, ranging from $1500 to $5800. How would you say they all compare?
All good, I would let your budget determine. The cheapest of those is amazing and so is the most expensive! Ha What's the $5,800 one?
The AEA is an exact clone (maybe even counting many of the exact components) of an RCA.
Wes Dooley bought all of the RCA NOS (new old stock) components.
@@Producelikeapro A potential shootout would be lovely ;)
@@whatskraken3886 marvellous idea! I have done a Ribbon Mic shootout in the past:- ruclips.net/video/Zk7DBwJoIYM/видео.html
Would have been pretty delicious ... if there was more than one microphone on drums ... 3-4 next time ... Please !
Absolutely! We do all variations!
Do a glimpse of us by joji cover
I'll check out that song!
