    Good video. Something easy to confuse is what is off axis? With the mic at, say, 45-degrees from your mouth, this is still “on axis” (i.e. 0 degrees). That is, if the capsule is pointed toward your mouth it’s on axis. It the mic is rotated about its own cylindrical axis such that the capsule is rotated away from your mouth, even it the capsule is directly in front of you, only then is it “off axis”.

    @theheatstudio question i thougjt bought getting sphere but in europe its 1500 € right now^^....i mainly use my earthworks for vocals and love it.
    Does this smaler version sounds as great as sphere if use it mainly for vocals and am fine with the smaller amount of mic models...coz i love the 8 choseb ones but wouldnt buy the mic if it sounds not rhat good then the sphere
    Thank you

    • @theheatstudio

      That’s a great question, this microphone has the same emulations as the sphere but with a lot less features and models, I haven’t done a full comparison, but I’m planning to do one soon and post a video about it so I can’t tell you exactly how similar or different they sound but I can tell you that if you’re recording vocals mostly and don’t need multiple polar patterns or stereo recordings then the SC-1 is perfect

    The following question arises: what happens with the coloration that the pre applies to the signal? The modeling is supposedly designed for the clean response of the microphone. This makes me doubt the accuracy of emulations using an external pre or a unison pre, for example.

  • @eddwardmusic
    @eddwardmusic Год назад +1

    I noticed that most of the gear reviewers (surely paid ad by UA/Sweetwater/GuitarCenter) show the mic with drums or guitars, but nobody on vocals, while singing. Is anything to worry about? Or does UA has anything to hide? Cuz surely there's a policy before making a review, what to say/show and what not.

    • @theheatstudio
      @theheatstudio  Год назад +3

      Influencers choose what they want to record or show, UA doesn't demand anything so it's up to them. Most people choose drums or guitars because it's easier to show the difference between models since drums have a full frequency range plus you would have to either be a singer or hire someone else to sing in order to produce a video which makes things harder.

      @jmclane27 Год назад +1

      ⁠​⁠@@henrikpetersson3463 as a sphere owner myself, I respectfully disagree. The cage on each of their mics is different which can lead to different resonance results. I’ve done the comparisons.
      Additionally, the other mics are dual capsules, which allows them to model front and back.
      So for certain recordings I actually have used different polar patterns to get more or less room feel, depending on the desired taste.
      I haven’t used this mic yet, and it sounds good…but without the same components…there scientifically not going to be the same. And I’m not saying better or worse if you notice, just saying different my friend

      This is the lesser, lesser version of the original Townsend L22. You have the The Dlx and Lx which sound different despite having the same components using the same modeling technology and the SC - 1 is just a cheaper version of that which I don’t think any of the emulations with the SC-1 sound like the actual microphone it’s trying to emulate unlike the Dlx and Lx version. This is a gimmick for new engineers and artist thinking they’re even getting close to having these actual microphones in the locker.
      And to rephrase what I said in my 1st comment :
      The sc-1 sounds tiny on every emulation
      Nun of those mics in real life sound tiny….stick to the tried and true Slate modeling mic or the Dlx and lx version for the truest sound for what your going for.

      Not true. They work very well as the differences between different microphones are small and mostly a frequency curve, here and there some saturation but very often not even that, no matter the microphone has a tube or a transformer.
      I hate those emulating plugins and U agree they are a waste of time and money, but after I measured many microphones and matched them with the eq I must accept the facts, purchasing different microphones just because of the 1 od 2 db frequency curve change is stupid.
