Microphone Comparison : LR Baggs M1 Active And M-Audio Pulsar II

[moronslave]

nevermind my recent question, there's an answer just below my post:)

[moronslave]

nice! what music are you playing? any tabs?

[luikangwei]

How did you record the sound from the LR baggs and upload it to your computer ?

[rjmprod]

I think you did a professional job recording and letting us know just where the changes took place, this was a most informative undertaking, Cheers! I believe you achieved quiet a special sound using both the pickup and mic combo with the addition of a tasty reverb plugin. Again great job!

[miroberlinberlin]

great!

[utubuser10]

beautiful...

[xnashox]

it sounds good, but the guitar lost a lot of bass with the pulsar direction, but nice job buddy

[FingersSoAwesome]

would you recommend the Pulsar II for singing too?

[BrunoBaudewyns]

@FingersSoAwesome HI. It's not the best mic to record vocals, but it makes the job done. Check out some of my other videos. I did some cover song with a singer, using this microphone for the voice!

Do you need an external preamp with the M1?

[BrunoBaudewyns]

@QueenToKingOfSpades Hi. There is 2 version of the M1 a passive and an active one. I'm not sure, but I think you do need a preamp with the passive and not necessarily with the active, which has a higher output level.

However, I doesn't mean you can't use one with the active version. You can use a preamp to sculpt your sound and not necessarily to raise up the output level!

Excellent demo of the pick up and lovely playing.Want to get one for my travel guitar. :o)

[samusd62]

what is the name of this awesome song??

[BrunoBaudewyns]

@samusd62 It's 'Angelina' by Tommy Emmanuel.

[dancollinsandapiano]

The Pulsar II sounds great! Just bought a pair, hopefully I can do wonders with it like you have!

[ReneeJeVaroni]

This was so peaceful and angelic, GREAT JOB!

[BrunoBaudewyns]

Hello I´ve been looking around for some kind of acoustic pickup and there L.R. Baggs came up before my eyes on thomann.de; how do they work if i but some effects on, like gain, overdrive etc.

Thanks for any type of answer and great playing there mate! :)

Regards // Svante (Sweden)

[BrunoBaudewyns]

@SavantSvant I Svante, thanks for the comment. Unfortunately I can't help you regarding effects. I mainly use the LR Baggs for live gigs and the only effect I use with it is the mixer's reverb.However the M1 is a magnetic pick up so I guess it should respond well to gain & overdrive,even whawha:)It sounds better than a piezo system & with a condenser mic you risk larsen problems.If you're looking to electrified your acoustic, a soundhole pick up like the M1 is the best choice. Hope that helps :)

[SavantSvant]

@BrunoBaudewyns Thanks alot mate for the quick answer! Im gonna get me one of those! Thanks again!

[SavantSvant]

@BrunoBaudewyns Thanks for the quick answer friend! I will get myself on of those, think im gonna get L.R.Baggs M1 Active Soundhole Pickup from thomann.de. But I have one more question, is it hard to instal the endpin jack socket into the guitars body?

Regards // Svante

very nice Angelina

[nicospahni]

Well done! I'm interested in buying the M1 active and was wondering how it responds to deliberate slaps to the body (compared to an internal mic).

[BrunoBaudewyns]

@nicospahni Hi. Off course it's not like a real condenser microphone in the guitar's body but for my purpose it responds well, not to "boomy".

I guess i could send you an audio file with some slap test ;)

Contact me if you're interested.

[nicospahni]

@BrunoBaudewyns Hi Bruno, an audio file would be greatly appreciated if you find the time. Could I ask you to record slaps to both the side and the top of the guitar? Best regards from Switzerland, Nico

[janklosowski]

@BrunoBaudewyns Hi, how this pickup alone react with percussive elements on the body when you just knock the top and sides?

[BrunoBaudewyns]

@janklosowski Hi, it's not like a real condenser mic in the body but for my purpose it's enough.

I did an audio file with some slap test for another youtuber. If you sent me a private message with your e-mail adress, I can send it to you.

Good comparisons - the Baggs on its own gets my vote!

[WhyWaveProductions]

your mic is clipping theres a big distoriton
