Lauten Audio: Vocal & Guitar Samples
Lauten Audio Horizon Microphone
I wrapped up a really cool recording session yesterday at Broken Radio with the folks from Lauten Audio. These guys make killer mics (I’m using their Horizon mic at my home studio for pretty much everything from vocals to acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and percussion) and it was a treat to sing and play a bit of acoustic guitar through a number of their mics and a few different preamps from their partner Summit Audio for some testing and web features that they are planning. We went through everything from the Horizon to the Oceanus to the Clarion and the Torch mics from Lauten Audio in one full day at the studio. All of them sounded amazing with each capturing a slightly different perspective or character of my voice and an assortment of acoustic guitars (this reinforced my love and absolute commitment to my Taylor 814ce  and my Elixir Phosphor Bronze strings: the combination sounds INSANE through these mics and, moreover, is just such a joy to play by comparison to the other acoustics/strings I played yesterday). I’m not sure when the feature video will be up on their site or when the sound files will be up, but stay tuned at www.lautenaudio.com and you can be sure I’ll keep you all posted here on my blog.
Up Close & Personal with the Horizon Microphone from Lauten Audio
Thanks to the team from Lauten Audio, Summit Audio and Broken Radio for inviting me to participate in the session. It was a ton of fun to work with them, as always, and I’m looking forward to hearing the tracks. Be sure to check out their sites for some killer recording tools and stay tuned here for updates. Keep making music, people!
