EPIC Mic SHOOTOUT with Warm Audio Mics

Joe Carrell and myself did a MasterClass in Austin, Texas at Warm Audio’s Studios recording the rather marvellous Motenko. When it came to the vocals we thought we would try every mic that Warm Audio Studios had to offer!

I have used everything Warm Audio makes, and hands down the WA-47 is (in my opinion) the best thing they make. It's a great mic.

[jmdmusicstudios]

I think the WA67 suits the singer the best IMO. It highlights his wonderful natural resonance

[FransJCMartins]

This is the reason why I bought the 251. Just love tis mic. Also my stereo pair WA-84’s. Used them on acoustic guitar, piano in front of a choir, drum overheads, snare bottom and hi-hats. Great mics!

I have a WA-251 I bought 3 years ago because a couple of friends of mine in Nashville doing a lot of session work recommended it, it’s been good.

As can be seen (and mostly heard) here, a great singer sounds good through any mic. Impressed by the lack of sibilance and constant great tone. One thing that jumped out at me ... on the 44, when it went to the chorus, magic happened. It wasn't the same with the others, which made me realize, you don't always have to use the same mic on the lead vocal throughout the entire song. I feel like I just learned something.

One of the most practical, wise and helpful vids I have ever seen (and I've seen a multitude!). These comparisons videos are always so tricky because the mind starts adding and subtracting. End result is in the track. Same with guitar, bass, etc. They can sound amazing solo, but in the mix is a different reality and the most important part..

Great Review I am seriously thinking about getting the 47 after this review.

[bob-rogers]

I liked how you showed the vocal solo, with one instrument, and in a full track. to demonstrate how context matters.

They all sound really similar, so it's great when you explain what you're hearing so I know something to listen for.

44 is my favourite for the song, the voice and the 70s mood. But I think the voice in the first appearance was more tamed them the other entry. The guy has a great voice! Cheers!

[michaelyolch]

I own a lot of great mics. The WA-251 is my favorite of the Warm, overall. BUT...for HIS voice on this track, I also picked the 47 both times, blind. Very nice!

[chadfayrobinson]

The 67 does it for me ! Smokey track I like it !!!

[BobbyLouxMusic]

Warren, why don’t you use a power tenor male vocalist to get the real differences in these mics? As a tenor myself, the ability of mics to withstand the spls is a huge part in comparing or finding the right mic. Thoughts?

[carminelombardi]

What a great way to compare mics and see them in different mixes and to understand what you can expect in post. This taught me immensely.

[Tito-Torres]

Man I loved this little piece of song. I want to listen the whole thing

[rome]

I liked the 251 the first time and the 47 the 2nd time. I do think what I liked in the full track is more relevant though. I don't plan on making a lot of songs with just vocals and Wurlitzer.

[Hannynco]

WA 67 vs WA8000 which better for main vocal male and female?? Thanks in advance 🙏

[splashesin]

I suspect Warm audio is way beyond warm this whole month mostly. Even with, air conditioning. Sounds fun! 😊

[Kenneth-F]

This episode is great! Thanks for all the great content you do!

[RicherPodcast]

Have you had a chance to try the WA-8000 (Warm Audio’s Sony C-800)? Any quick thoughts? 😁

[jamieremus]

I liked the WA47, I own one and I’m familiar with the sound and I like the pleasant tube warmth and saturation I’m hearing. 🙂❤️
