Vincent - Don McLean Cover, Manley Reference Cardioid mic through a Neve 1073 on Vocals

Hit like and subscribe if you enjoy my covers:)
I got to know this song due to a beautiful cover of Jim van der Zee, who won The Voice of Holland this year. I think he is a really great musician and I really like his style. I also see a lot of similarities between him and me in style and song choice. I really began to love the song when I heard the original version by Don McLean. He does such a great job on the song and I love the way he plays the guitar on this.
This video is part of a completely new Episode of my Bedroom Sessions. The video quality has had a great boost because my roommate was so nice to lend me his new Sony A6500 camera. It records in 4K and I absolutely love the quality.
Also I have learned to use my own new equipment better. The Manley Reference Cardioid sounds a lot better with my new shure A15AS attenuator. I also really love the sound of my Neve Ams 1073DPA.

It took me a long time to decide what gear I should buy. I have watched plenty of 'Preamp vs no preamp' and 'Manley Reference Cardioid vs Neumann U87AI' videos etc. Also I have been a lot on forums like Gearslutz. After every buy you realize that you are never done with buying gear lol. In the future I also wanna buy mics like the neumann U87, Lawson L47, Flea 47, Neumann U67, Neumann U47, Telefunken U47, Sony C800g and the AKG C12.
