ribbon mic shootout for trombones / R-121 vs. Voodoo VR1

For online lessons or other requests contact me at:
[e-mail]
Please listen with good headphones or a good pair of speakers!!
This video shows the difference between Royer R-121 and SE Electronics Voodoo VR1, both are ribbon microphones.​
No effects in the signal chain, just the mics, cables (Sommercable carbokab 225), interface (Apollo X8) and the DAW (Logic Pro X).
No Unison preamp Plugins were used! Instead of the Bricasti M7 Boston Hall preset, we didn't use any other plugins/effects in the DAW.
If you are interested in the sound of some unison plugins, please let me know!

Mic position was off axis, about 150 centimeters away from the instruments, pointed to the edge of the bell.
Unfortunately the room is a bit boomy around 200 Hz.

I was wondering how many trombones he has - apparently, all of them :-) The R-121 definitely has that classic sound, while the VR1 is a bit more modern and brings out the rasp in the low notes nicely, but they're both great. Thanks for the demo.

Thanks for getting back to me re: Prince Philip & HM The Queen's connection with Rodgers & Hammerstein's 'Oklahoma!' as the backdrop to their courtship: ruclips.net/video/HMmBBCbixj8/видео.html
Nice playing and sound differences - to think I used to play trombone in secondary school! Wouldn't have a clue - I only play me now! Didn't recognise any of the tunes you were playing - they certainly weren't in my 'A Tune A Day' book - (Ha ha - only kidding!!) All the best, Anthony

How much room is between you and the mics?
Both sound quite excellent on all sizes of trombone here. :)

[@BernhardMichaelPlos]

i guess 2 meters away from the bell :)

Which do you prefer?

[@BernhardMichaelPlos]

personally I prefer the royer mic. it has such a clear and dark sound through all the registers.

[@jessicaphillips-rife1084]
