  • Here's a mic shootout between two budget mics vs the industry standard Shure Sm 57. Let your ears be the judge! If you don't have ears, just guess.
    Buy Fifine mic here www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Q2V577W
    or www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...
    AKG www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...
    Shure SM 57 www.amazon.co.uk/Shure-Sm57-U...
    I recorded all through a UAD Apollo Firewire, adding a touch of Reverb and delay on Pro Tools.

    You're great, Dave.
    Seriously, this video has way more value than people imagine.
    So THIS very video reinforces my notion that the main use for the SM-57 is for blending with other mics to spice a certain tone, and generaly it's the one with the lowest volume in a mix of mics.
    I simply could never use a 57 alone. Its harshness will never match my tastes for creamy distorted tones.
    The AKG is a winner and I'm going to grab a Fifine.
    Lots of tones.............

      Thanks Mick. I thought shure but my preference was to blend them all together for a balance of highs and mids.

    I read that the SM57 is so commonly used to mic things that your ears are trained to be used to and like the sound of it. Interesting video!

    Hello. I cam into possession of the AKG P3S but I have never used Jack mics before. Please tell me, can I just plug it into my computer? Do I need anything else for it to work properly ? Please advise me.

    • @davelocke
      @davelocke  4 года назад +1

      In theory you can get away with plugging it into pc and using as mic.. However I'd recommend an audio interface like entry level models by m audio

    • @VipKamaro
      @VipKamaro 4 года назад +1

      ​@@davelocke I tested it on my pc. Without the help of Voicemeeter the mic is barely hearable and the quality is worse than the Blue snowball which is USB. Idk if the issue is the lack of the audio interface or something else. Do you have an idea?
      I will look into audio interfaces. Thank you!

    Fifine is sweet. Is it good for voice and acoustic guitar?

    • @davelocke
      @davelocke  5 лет назад

      I think it is fine for both. It's all personal taste I think. I found I preferred results of different mics combined in the mix.

    • @FIFINE
      @FIFINE 4 года назад +1

      Yes, it's pretty good for voice, it doesn't get any boomy or muddy as some dynamic mics may do, so it would be especially good for man voice. As for acoustice guitar, because of the clarity, it may not give you very much of the low end that you would like to hear in an instrument recording. But yes, it will still do the job fine.

      You could, they're not as good as condenser Maybe but will do the job still.

    • @davelocke
      @davelocke  5 лет назад

      I thought the fifine sounds more trebly and the akg was more dark. The shure I think had most mid range. I quite liked blending them as seemed to give the bigger sonic spectrum.
