    If ghost hunters used better audio they'd only be proving ghosts don't exist. They need hiss and artifacts so we can try and create audio voices - what's the audio version of pareidolia? Andrew, your humble honesty about your abilities and limits is exactly why I like your reviews most of all. Happy Holidays and I wish you the best for the New Year!

      Ghost Hunters: "The ghosts drain the battery in our gear to try manifesting."
      Skeptic: "Okay, cool. Then...why don't you ever bring in half a dozen car batteries and give them what they apparently need?" 😉
      Ghost Hunters: "'Cause...Uhm...Same reason we like hissy mics..."

    If there's one bit of feedback I can say about RX. Use Gentle not surgical. It's less artifacting and doesn't negatively affect the sound as much.

    Regarding de-noising. Audacity has a great free de-noise plugin. But you can't use it on live audio. It has to be processed. I've used it to several times to save recordings from significant ground hum and noise floor.

    Here's an income generator for you. Do mic and gear giveaways. You don't need all those mics. Share the love. Make some money. Win win.

    • @Podcastage
      @Podcastage  9 месяцев назад +1

      I find that being able to reference these mics and compare them to new iterations is incredibly beneficial and useful. That’s why I still have them. I would love to get rid of all of them but a handful because it takes up my living space, but I want to make my videos as useful as possible and that means including the mic comparisons.
      Giveaways would not be a money generator for me at all because giving stuff away and paying to ship it would be a drain on income. I wouldn’t charge people for an entry because I don’t like the idea of running a pay to play lottery. I also don’t think developing an audience that is there solely for giveaways is conducive to a sustainable youtube channel.
      Thank you very much for the suggestion though, I appreciate it.

    Ha. Regarding Ghost Hunting mics: It doesn't matter. There's no such thing as the supernatural. That aside, for the LARP drama of it all, if these individuals (AKA grifters and/or m*rons) used good equipment properly, it would ruin their show, which, of course, highlights the terms used in the parenthetical.

    Not only destructive… but if used in real time, rX plugins have a ton of latency.
    If the ghost hunters use good mics they wont have white noise to “find” ghosts talking in.

    Yeah, please stick to mic reviews and the sorts. Just as you have been doing.
    About selfnoise: I engineered a lot of audio books, and if the room is good, then low selfnoise is great.
    Especially since a lot of listeners use headphones that reveals it more.
    You can get rid of a lot of noise, in post, by using a good gate, Fabfilter’s Pro-G is awesome, and/or with gentle use of de-noisers, but if there is no noise in the recording, you save time and get a better result. I went from a Neumann M147 to a TLM193, and never looked back!!

    I had always audio crackling with Voicemeeter, microphones that suddenly are not working with ingame Voice Chat with Equalizer APO, delayed audio that has timing issues skipping sometimes a few seconds with Pulse Audio Effects. Didn't test the Steelseries app yet...

  • @DecisiveHard
    @DecisiveHard 9 месяцев назад

    Okay slight question (for anyone really). What is the device called that auto levels (live, not recorded audio) your mic volume. I think it's called a compressor (something that will adjust your screaming volume to be normal levels, but boost your low-talking levels)? I was looking to find something of that nature as the few equipments I've seen just auto-mutes it (like the quadcast, or my personal mixer just mutes as well).
    I've messed around with a bunch of free plug-ins over some months, but not really working how I want them to.
    Thanks for the video! Cool to see you touch on something like ghost hunting mics haha.
