Glad you are liking this vid. It was pretty fun to make—it's always nice to hear stuff side-by-side. The cool thing about our industry is that we never stop learning. It's a life-long learning process!

Excellent video! Great job! It might be helpful to post a list of all microphones used along with time index to make it easier to find a certain one. Again thanks so much, this must have taken some time to put together and has been a useful learning tool for me.
