Hi Akash, i love your video! But, i have a question: Why do not you do a video where you talk about game audio implementation? From what I read on the web if you know how to do this, you have a great advantage to get jobs in the industry.
It's true, it's a helpful skill, and I do have a video up on this channel that briefly covers it. It's a topic I want to cover more in-depth the future for sure!
I've been working on building one of these, though I'm having trouble getting a solid connection between the tube and the mic. I didn't buy the microphone you suggested rather trying to use one I had lying about, but the head is a bit more concave and I don't think it is picking up the stethoscope super well. do you just have a crazy preamp boosting the volume?
My gain on the Zoom H6 is set to 6/10, so nothing too crazy! The capsule on my mic is totally flat though, so that may be making things easier. What mic are you using?
OK, I was using a Shure SM57 since I didn't want to buy another microphone for just this purpose. I was running it through a Cloudlifter preamp (+25db) and I didn't get a whole lot. I also didn't want to do a crazy tape job on the microphone since I definitely want to use it for other things as well. Any advice would be appreciated, but I'll keep experimenting!
Ahh that would be why. You're using a dynamic mic, whereas I recommend using a condenser mic. Dynamic mics are FAR less sensitive, and are best for recording louder sounds (which is why SM57s are almost always used on snare drums).
Oh! I'm an idiot. I didn't read enough about the microphone you linked, I thought it was a dynamic similar to the SM57. I do have a condenser mic, but it's not a good shape to butt up a tube like this. I will have to investigate other options (or maybe invest in that condenser because I do like me some microphones :)
How did you manage to get recordings without noise in the background? When you did the heartbeat recording was it much quieter and hence the recording has more background sound?
Oh snap I have the same piano chair as you. One step closer to musical genius!
It's a very comfy chair!! Shame I SUUUUUUUCK at piano!
same :)
You should try to record your heartbeat with your stethmic and see what you hear
Thank You! All the digital, electric or recordable ones I found online were like $300-$400 on the cheap end
Cuirous about part 2, please?
where is part 2?
Why would there be a part 2?
@@MagicBoterham because part 1 is in the title
@@TheREAPERBlog I see that, but it doesn't say "part 1 of x", where x is some integer number greater than 1. Why not ask "where is part 3?"?
Aaannd... please, sound while contacting your acoustic guitar, or other instruments.
Can you get a good recording of a heartbeat with this device?
Yup!
That's what I came here looking for... But no let's record a heater and NOT show everyone how it sounds
This was really cool
Thank you!

is this like a throat mic that's available?

There was a fair bit of noise, but I used iZotope RX to denoise them.
@@AkashThakkarAudio fabulous! thanks a million
Hey Akash, your hair fell off. It seems to be much less than the last time
