But Japan fought on, so Truman-who became president after FDR died-shifted the plans to drop the bomb on Japan.

As it happened, the Allied armies defeated the Nazis in the spring of 1945, before the German scientists succeeded. Roosevelt instigated the Manhattan Project in 1942, after Albert Einstein and Leo Szilard, two of the most prominent physicists of the day, wrote him a letter warning that German scientists had figured out how to split an atom, that they could turn this discovery into a very powerful bomb, and that we needed to beat them to it or risk losing the war. I tracked my vocals through the Slate VMS with the 251, C800, and 47 emulations and the 1073 emulation.President Franklin D. I then took an actual Telefunkin 251 and Neumann U47 (not FET) and ran it though a real Neve 1073. I was not able to use the C800 at the time of recording. My first demo of the mic at Vintage King went okay. The Slate mic was put up against a Telefunkin 251, a Telefunkin U47, and a Flea U47. The 251 emulation sounded like it had a little more body to it compared to the real 251 but the high end sounded similar. I liked the 251 emulation better than the original though. I then loaded up the 47 emulation and put it up against both 47's. The two OG 47's sounded great on their own. It was dark, muddy, and would make me ask if the mic was working okay. They unfortunately did not have a C800 to put it up against but it sounded like what I remember a C800 sounding like bright top end, a mid scoop, and a big body.Īll the mics at Vintage King were all lined up agains the wall in a small vocal booth (I hate vocal booths like this).

When I was listening back, it was in the show room so not really the best place to really hear the difference.

Overall, the comparisons were okay but by themselves without a comparison, I'd say they sounded great (except for the 47 emulation). Once my mic came in, I picked it up and took it to the studio to put it up against our real 251/47 > 1073 (no C800 again). Telefunkin 251 > Neve 1073 vs Slate 251 > Slate 1073 With the VMS plugin at 100%, no EQ's or compression, and the 1073, emulation and real, set to 40, I sang the same line into each mic.
