Master's degree in audio production here. Been using this fabulous video to study, the graphics make it so clear, and so easy to understand. Great content!
This is the best description of mic pick-up and directional references! Like a $2,000 university course for free! Thanks!!!!!
I don't get why it got so few likes. This video is so damn informative and awesomely made!
Don't worry, in due time... :)

This is the best video I've seen so far explaining the polar patherns a Mic can have. The 3D figures shown to demonstrate the polar patherns (Cardiod, Figure 8 & Omni) are the best part. Congratulations!!!
I thought all mics were the same, but after watching this video I've gotten a better insight on the differences. Much appreciated!
This is still the best demonstration of polar patterns I've come across!
Fantastic! Thanks for this-Extremely well explained! Bravo
This explanation combined with the 3D models/shapes is nothing less than perfect!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the way to demonstrated the different patterns visually as you stepped around the mic.
I had no idea how to make sense of polar patterns (another new term I learned today) up until today because I was shopping around for a new headset/mic combo for streaming. (Before y'all say it, this is just one step. I'm ultimately buying a better headset and standalone mic a few months after this one.)
I had no idea what directions the graph was showing me for the headset and it almost made me think it picked up in a totally incorrect direction.
Thank you for this awesome video!
Subscribed. Just don't stop keep bringing more educational videos like this. People now a days miss videos like this that explains everything from the super basics.
This video is a life saver to me at the moment. Great work I appreciate.
Thank you very much for this. You have been EXTREMELY helpful. I'm a voice actor, but not very well-informed on mics as I should be. You just raised my intelligence level by a LOT, with one simple video.
This is the best explanation I've seen thus far!!! Thank you.
best explanation video in less than 10 minutes! Awesome job here!
Thank you for this fantastic video! Your art of narrating this complex information along with the graphics overlay is phenomenal!
Perfect 5/5 certified fresh what ever let’s you know this video is the best
I can’t say this enough . This video was EXCELLENT! Thank you very much!!
Love the visuals of the directionality!!!
Great educational video. Thank you very much!
You know, I built a iso booth for my vocal mic work and I also use a c414 but I've always set it on cardioid - but hell Omni sounds way fuller! With the iso booth you don't need to worry about bleed anyways so I think I'm going to switch to omni. I think it would be awesome for a male vocal baritone like me. Thanks so much for this!
Thanks for the explanation and illustrations :) Very informative! WAS looking into buying a mic for my flute. Knowing nothing about microphones, your video helped me on which mic to buy! Much appreciated! Thanks again!
Nice Victor! I Love being a Drumeo member, hope to be a Recordeo member soon...Thank You!:-)
amazing video and the production value is just fire! :)
Great video man thank you for this! Super clear and easy to understand.
This video is great and it helps me understand my mic so much more!!!
Ohhhh ths video helping my couriosity 🙌 thankss aloottt
Thank you for explaining this so much better than other videos that "bla bla" over the technical aspects expecting the viewer to already know how everything works. Turns out I had my cardioid mic setup completely wrong this whole time ... doh
Bought my first selectable pattern mic recently and this was very informative.
Awesome explanation! Enjoyed this & thanks!
This video is so awesome!!!!!!!
thanks for the knowledge
Thank u so much
Love from India
This video is very educational. Thanks so much!
The best practically explanation about mics👍

theeee most useful video ever watched
Very helpful, thanks.
Thanks for this video, it was very helpful
This video was excellent! Thank you
Great Explanation 👏🏼
Recordeo is awesome! Thanks!
JulianFernandez You’re awesome, thank you!
Great video! really. Thanks!
U deserve more subscribers sir, thank you for this knowledge bomb
great explanation!
How come I can't see my pickup pattern bubble?? Har har I'm so funny. This was a great video, very good production quality and informative, concise. Definitely surprising from a smaller channel. Great work. Multiple camera angles, lighted properly, visual on screen graphics. Just really good.
thank you so much for this! I leaned so much!
This is gold!
Very knowledgeable! Thank you Sir !
Thanks for the vid. much appreciated.
I wish you would have gone a little more Into WHY you might use these different patterns, but it was still a very informative vid. In a lower end bedroom studio, I would probably want a cardiod mic for vocals to get the least amount of room noise?
Thank u man for this video.
That was fascinating
very precise
Great explanation thank you...♥♥💪💪
Informative but enjoyable 👍
Underrated video.
Thank you so much so valid
Hello Guys... I am from Kerala, India... This is a nice Great Video... Thank You :)
Thank you
BEST CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!!
You deserve a sub
Thank you for this :)
Great vid
Wow this Video is very helpful 🇿🇦👌❤️🥇🏆
Damn amazing 😍
This is great video and so helpful, i recently bought this mic. Question if i use the 80hz high pass roll off do i still need to EQ roll off too.
thanks for the explanation! very very helpful! Do you have videos where you show how to mic instruments with these patterns? For vocals I find figure 8 to be the best with a vocal booth/shield. Somehow it sounds very nice and rich.
Thanks :D
please don't stop making videos on Recordeo
Recently bought this mic, so your video was very helpful. Question, if i use the 80hz high pass, do i still need to high pass EQ also. Thanks
Thaknzz
Come to think of the omnidirectional pattern, it'll be great for drum overheads-I could capture some of the room.
Hands down the best idiot proof guide to pick up patterns; Great job!
Excellent graphics and excellent opening few seconds! Why not use graphics to show the "null" at the 4:50 time stamp?
I has asked this question one the guitar YT channel & was told to ask Victor the question here. Are the Earthworks Mics good for recording guitar cabs? I don't know the model off hand but it's in the $499-599 price range US Dollars. Thank's in advance.
Hey, thanks for your question! Yes, the Earthworks SR25 is a great mic for electric cabs and acoustic guitars. With electric guitar however, I'm generally addind in a condenser mic like the Earthworks SR25 in conjunction with my "main" guitar cab mic, which is usually either an SM57, R-121, MD-421, or 409.
We go through all of this and more inside the Recordeo members area in the Ultimate Guide To Recording Guitar if you wanted to check it out, hit up recordeo.com
Thanks!
Thumbs up!!!
Thanks, what is the difference between hypercardioid and supercardioid mic? Which one is better for outdoor filming?
Can you please tell me which shock mount you are using it will be very helpful for me?
Its good for duet
So basically if your just going to sing into the mic, go with the AKG C214 since they both share the same capsules.
I am wondering if you could recommend any microphone that is sensitive and can connect to iPad for voice typing, please?
What microphones would you recommend to record 360-degree sound without using an ambisonic microphone? There will be four 360-degree cameras and motorbikes will ride around the cameras. I thought of using four rode ntg3 mics, but they are too directional, or two octal mics.
I'm torn between the XLS and the XLII for drum overheads. Please, share your opinions!
which one is best for vocals?
I don’t understand what’s the use for super cardioid- that little lobe behind it, what is it intended to pickup? So for singers, it means cardioid is the best choice?
7:44 what you're listening to is the sound bounce off the wall that he's facing and back into the front of the mic.
Are sure of your drawing for the cardioïd ?
Why there is no indicator on these cardioïd mics ,only the capsule and it works all around for me.
Awesome CGI
I would've loved to see real life application for these different polar patterns.
what different cardioid and uni directional? which better?
Okay but do they have one that is super focused? What's the characteristics of the lapel mic?
How do you have such a deep but clear sound with just a lavalier mic? Is there an EQ secret sauce or is it your room?
Aloha! My name is Sean and I work with Aixdsp. What's the best way to send you our plug-ins?
Hey mr Brooms class
3D Animation FTW!
I wonder what the purpose of each design was for
What's the mic, you used? :)
AKG C414 XLII
ya
Mic for rapper , point to be notice, explain technical aspect.... Next video pls
