Thanks but my iPhone pressed against my solid state Marshall will have to do for now 😂

Hey Rick I was a sound tech on tour with a major pop star who had Nuno playing in the band(crazy, I know). We used a 421/57 combination which was pretty awesome, and didn’t have to worry about babying the ribbon mic. We bent a couple z-bars to sit together between the head and the cab, same place every show to eliminate the mic stand fuss(although the 421 clip is a little finicky). The 121/57 combo is what I learned in the studio where I did time and you really can’t match the warmth of the Royer... but I wouldn’t take one out of the studio. Thanks Rick for the awesome stuff- you rock!

I LOVE these organic, unprocessed, natural and classic guitar tones.

[RhettShull]

Hands down my favorite mic combo of all time.

[recording]

Someone went up to Chet Atkins and said, "That guitar sounds really good!" Chet put the guitar in it's stand and said, "How does it sound now?"

[Techncian]

Would love to see a video about Rick Hall and the muscle shoals sound.

[kitchinsync]

my solution for the dual mic on one stand is to use a "8"/20cm Dual Speedlite Camera Mount Tripod Bracket Flash Extension Bar, 8" Dual Tripod Bracket" I found on Amazon.
Simply a flat 8" metal bar with oblong holes allowing for 1/4 or 3/8 mount screws for the mic holder and the center attaches to mic stand. The oblong holes allow sliding to adjust the distance of mics from each other.
Usually used for cameras and flash, but works nicely for a two mic, one stand solution.

[SFLogicNinja]

I cannot believe that this clip is a NEW thing. I was like 'WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE". The 121 and SM57 are such a great combo

The 121 takes to EQ beautifully!

[AaronBandt]

A $99 mic and a $1300 mic walk into a bar...

[TravisHY]

One of the best guitar tones I ever tracked was with SM57 and a Beyerdynamic M160. Similar to the 121, 57 vibe, but without the figure 8 polar pattern of the 121 picking up the room.

[alandmoore]

So for those of us without a fully-stocked mic closet, the takeaway would be to setup a mic with a punchy sound and a mic with a smooth sound, get them in-phase, and blend to taste?

[dominicsinicrope]

Another handy mic clip is the Fredman clip. It holds two 57s one on axis and the other at a 55 degree off axis angle. You can blend to taste. Really great for metal guitars.

Here's what I love about Rick, Rhett & Dave when doing these videos, i always learn something...Not worried too much about recording as the frequency is less compared to live gigs. Hate direct to board from amp as your missing the sound of the speaker(s). Btw, both played so clean, so well done...

[GuitarisGreat]

Dang this was a really in depth video. Thanks man, always love your content! So helpful

[sandyamaulana]

Amazing video! Rick was so lucky to have learned from Dann Huff. Huff is an amazing producer, session guitarist, and of course guitarist of Giant. Watching this video also tells me where the Dann Huff's sound was coming from, and it is an amazing sound.

[thechurchofmusic]

I saw Dan Huff play with a band he was in called White Heart back in the 80's. The he really took of with his band Giant. Great player.

[MetalHeadHippie]

I cant wait till you get a Million Subs. You Deserve It. Thanks Rick.

[EricJaegerMusic]

Hey! I have an sm57 already and love it but that duo mic sounds great let me go on amazon and order one! *sees $1.150*... T_T im goin to bed..

[f.hounderclay]

The capsule in the Royer is in the middle, along the flange, while in the 57, it's in the bottom of the cap, about 3/4" from the tip. As such, to avoid the slightest phase issue, they should line up, leaving the Shure sticking out ahead of the 121 a little bit. Or so I'm told.

[vidtrax]

Rick, you're amazing. You've covered so much in the music industry. Thank you and appreciated.
