nah you just want it to sound better cuz you cant afford a u87 LMAO

Are you making fun if someone who won't buy a 3000 dollar microphone when the 1 dollar one isn't much of a difference?

Dawg first of all autotune doesnt change the way a mic sounds once bit and second there is no autotune used in these videos the only thing hes done is eq it and use a compressor and some other basic stuff which doesnt always help the mic sound too much better than what it actually sounds like tho@@Cybersaurus5783

The fact is that even really budget gear for a home studio recording is 100x as good today as when we sat with our 4track taperecorders and layered 1 track at a time until you had over recorded it to pieces. Today It's all about knowing how to use a few good plugins and you can get really great results even you arent a pro in mixing and editing. And no matter who you are there arent an explicit facit list what makes a good mix
the difference is so tiny, which proves using an equalizer is a very powerful tool
Yeah, and some people even call equalizer autotune because they dont know nothing about music 😂
Imagine the scaam
it just proves that you dont have quality audio hardware at home to hear the difference
@@petrousiliousthezwackel i have genelec monitors bro. I'm a producer
the fact you can get that good of quality on the 1$ is actually crazy
ONLY with amazing equipment hes plugged that into it, think it like "processing and cleaning" the signal, bro has like 10k worth of equipment back there to make this mic sound good,
@@Romo2055fr we wanna hear raw audio
Yeah processing did probably everything here.
Tbh it’s more about recording technique and having a treated room
@@Romo2055I'm glad you pointed that out because I didn't even think about equipment he was using. I was too focused on the fact that it sounded too good to be true... him and mr crabs could've made a band together with the world's smallest violin.
The mic Ed Sheeran is using in that video clip is a Neumann U67, not a U87. The u67 is $7800, and the u87 is $3500. They look almost identical, but they sound different.
comparison between two Kind of mics are simply a joke.
Preamps do have a very important role
@@dsm68000lol yeah, and eq
With all that post processing it’s really not that apparent. This happens to just shows you that good mixing, eq and compression do wonders. REGARDLESS of what mic you are using! Tldr: learn how to mix. Happy holidays everyone.
exactly.
Ur delusional, no amount of mixing or mastering can do justice to cheap mics. You get ur money’s worth, that’s why expensive mics are in studios n $1 mics aren’t
U forget that The outputs (i.e headphones and studio monitors) help with this . And you actually need these to mix,eq, and compress properly. Sooo the mic doesn't matter but ur output and ur producing skills are the ones you need to keep.
You can have a terrible mic, but if you have terrible audio gear, it'll be difficult to achieve good sound regardless of mic quality
Actually not really just the post Processing but the actual recording was well made. Some people just point the microphone not thinking the difference a slight tilt adjustment makes for example
Everyone is ignoring the most obvious point that the performance itself is extremely important. More important than mixing
As an artist and having worked in engineering - any mic with the right EQ changes can sound great and almost indistinguishable.
Then why buy a $3000 mic? I'll buy the dollar mic and the $3000 gear.
@@Daniel_Antonio_Arellano782 There’s no reason to buy a $3000 mic other than for ego
@@Daniel_Antonio_Arellano782 I'll say you don't really need that expensive gear today to produce a hit .. of cause it helps, but the way music is overproduced and often compressed to death before it's getting streamed on mostly lossy formats. Using even 1 miliion $ equip is kinda utter pointless.
I kind of agree. Although I think having a good preamp and a microphone with low self-noise makes your life a whole lot easier
what you basically need is a good room, not a good mic.

He’s a better mixer & in a soundtreated room
mix and master
EQ
You should to these comparisons with RAW audio without effects and EQ, so we can hear the actual difference
Im honestly super curious about that too.
Bro can you make the expensive mic tests at the end longer you have trapped me in endless loops
he have a full time and he chose to make it 1 second so much useless 🤣 and disgusting for real 🤢 no one gonna watch something annoying, regarding the content and his voice nice
maybe that was the goal)

Just download the video and listen to the comparison over and over without having to rewatch the entire thing
How he strained while singing on the 3k mic got me.

u still listening bru
the 2nd one has more clarity and is crispier
Bro you still listening?
Legend has it he's still listening.
1$ microphone into a crazy expensive chain with an almost professional acoustically treated room
Even after RUclips's compression the difference is massive. Texture, dynamic depth, tonality, grit. It's just so much more tonally rich compared to the cheap one.
the 87 is pretty much the best mic ever so yeah
Massive???
Nah man, the video creator eq'd the Neumann to sabotage its sound and improved the $1 mic through post processing to sound better
Yep I believe so, that fraud aint even respond to your comment 😅@darkozoric4184
Stop lying.
The microphone Ed was using in the video wasn’t a $3,000 mic. It was a U67 which is an $8K mic.
Why on Earth does the $1 mic sound soo good 😂
I like how that's not how the u87 sounds like at all but with tons of eq and reverb you managed to make it sound like a behringer c1
Just processing made 1 dollar microphone sound good.
Now, take the Behringer C1 and reverse the process
Lol
Wow. It’s amazing what some EQ, compression, saturation, de-essing, reverb and cutting the silence can do. Quite a frustrating video but interesting and shows it’s not all about the microphone. The Neumann is much better quality for sure we all know that but please remember it’s all in the mixing - which is what he should be talking about in the video. On a side note - The TLM102 or 103 is a fantastic microphone, much more affordable too. I would also recommend the Rode NT1A if you are looking for a vocal microphone. I hope this is useful, happy mixing and always use reference tracks to get the best results! ❤
Quite so! Indeed any quality mic (which most today are!) can be made to sound indistinguishable from another of the same family (SDC/LDC/ dynamic/ ribbon etc.) Also, on the RØDE, I’d go for the modern NT1 over the NT1-A - more neutral, less sibilance, even lower self noise. 😊
+1 for the TLM102. Check out Serrano 87 if you want 87 capsule
None of those you mentioned fix a bad recorded sound.
BIG DIFFERENCE! Cheap - will sound cheap. It sounds like too much mid frequencies. The other mic has so much more detail. 😊
How tf is that 1$ mic better then the one on my school laptop
$10,001 setup vs $13,000 setup
Plot twist, the 1$ microphone hasn't been recorded
Shows how talent and skill can make any piece of musical equipment sound great.
Bruh if it this ain’t proof that microphone quality isn’t as important as we think I don’t know what is… this dude could literally plug his headphones into the microphone, sing into one of the ears, and still make that sound better than my $200 mic😂
It’s crazy that a sound-proof room and good post-processing makes that big a difference
POV : "Me listening with 1$ headphones"
Me : "XD JUST KIDDING"😂😂
Bro the $1 mic sounds 3000 times better than my mic
Maturity is when you realise mic don't make you better the vocal mixing does
Almost not that much? But still really obvious. Thanks for this!
Yeah but the compression gets bad on social media
what youtube left over is eaten up by your crappy audio gear and you still hear a difference
The mixing really made a $1 sound better than my $100 mic
In a previous video the 1 dollar microphone was a 4 Dollar mic. It looks that the price depends on the video needs 🤦🏽♂️
Honestly, this just goes to show how much mixing, audio processing, and good programs/plugins can do for audio. It can make very bad microphones sound fairly decent.
It’s all about the mixing
The $1 mic sounds good! But the $3,000 mic ..another level.
So my last job was working at McDonald's, but I got sacked aye, 'caus I ah stole all the cookin' oil, poured it all over the car park mate, turnin' it into a drift ring hey. People pullin' in for Maccas didn't even know they were participatin'. Man, never seen a Camry slide like that! Straight into the lamp pole mate, it was super mad.
Not a U87…. He’s using a u67. It’s a tube mic. They look similar but the price tag is NOT similar… u67 is about 8k for the reissue, and 20k or so for a vintage.
You're good at singing
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻
@@EdwardSmithMusic yeah you're actually reallllyy really good at singing
This makes me feel a lot better about bedroom producing - except for the fact that I struggle with mixing.
Ur videos are so high quality, here before ur famous :]
Thank you 🙏🏻
Real
The 3000 dollar mic is obviously better but he made the cheap sort of more gimmicky mic work really well
everyone saying "i cant hear a difference" that is the easiest way to tell whos musically inclined and who isn't
An interesting video, although I'm sure Mr. Smith did not mean to imply that the toy mic is the equivalent of a Neumann U-87AI. But it is interesting how, with enough processing, the toy mic was able to sound reasonably good. So why use the Neumann? Well, pattern control, shock mounting, low noise, low distortion, wide dynamic range, really wide frequency response, proper output connections, etc. Not to mention that the Neumann is a worldwide industry standard.
his voice makes the $1 mic sound $30000
Its mixing.
Nah it's not his voice it's mixing
you don't need 3000$ to make music, just 1$ microphone and 5000$ pc is enough.
Ain't no way the 1 dollar mic sounds that good
Well from what I can hear there's no differences at all
Gostei mais do de 1 dólar 😂😂😂
Esse mais caro tem um agudinho a mais, o que não me agradou muito!
The trick is no matter what microphone you use,its about what you do with voice you recorded
ngl first time i watched i didnt notice a difference cuz my mind was just like bruh -_-
Then I decided to re-watch with my eyes close and omg...
The Neumann can be pushed into whatever direction tonally you want, which is why it's fantastic. The shitty little microphone sound awful here. It sounds like the weird telephone vocal effect on every Indie Rock vocal in the early 2000s.
If this is real the people who actually bought the 3k one must be really mad right now
No comparison, the clarity of the u87 is undeniable.
The difference might not be highly noticeable when you listen on a device that doesn't have good speakers, such as a smartphone or a laptop. If all music production only aimed to produce music inside of that limited frequency spectrum, then many budgets microphones would suffice. And of course the sound can also be processed digitally (even using AI).
I am quite impressed with the sound of this recording. It's a great example of doing the best with what you got. 😅
I literally hear no difference
@@CherryOnToppishno it isnt
3000 dollar mic sounds naturally good, so you dont have to buy a whole studio to make the sound of the 1 dollar mic better
the fact that its tiny and sounds basically the same whenn you compare it to $3000 but you can tell a huge difference
It’s actually surprisingly decent. Better then my phone microphone 😭
The 3000 sounds nice too but ill stick to a 80 something dollar one for now lol
It's hilarious how most are uneducated on audio studio setup, it has very little to do with the microphone and more to do with your room setup. But you can still definitely hear the clarity in the Neumann U87 over the Amazon mic. Money is better spent on your room treatments and preamp you plug into.
tbf once the music is processed, they sound pretty similar.
Not gonna lie the 3k one kinda sound just a little better coz why u can hear his voice a bit nicer and the speaking words sound is a lot more clear
Ed Sheeran is using a u67 u can tell by the shockmount
Quick bit of info for those who don't know a whole ton about audio. Assuming the $1 audio wasn't complete bogus, which I believe it is, there was heavy audio processing in both takes. RUclips also has massive compression on top of your headphones/speakers and whatever those are plugged into distorting the sound. Even programs like Spotify don't always offer lossless audio even if they are much better.
You can do a lot with audio processing but most of it will be limited to pre-recorded takes and you'll be very limited for anything live such as shows or voice calls and depending on how much live audio processing you have it can be quite heavy in your computer. It also takes a good bit of know how and even then a lot if time to get a bad mic to sound professional. 3k is abhorrently expensive for anyone but the 1% and enthusiasts and professional quality audio can be had for $100 from the at2020 which you will need an audio interface for where decent/good options will be around $70-110. So the entire kit including a xlr cable and mic stand up to around $200-280. BUT you do not need this to start. Any old mic even og apple earbuds will do, the important thing is to make your content be it music, voice acting, or anything else. If you want a cheaper upgrade usb is an option but please dont spend more than $80 on usb as if you go higher you may as well just save a bit more for the kit I mentioned.
There is a bit more to all this and it might seem overwhelming but it's really quite simple with a tiny bit of research.
The 3k one sounds really clear, but the 1$ one is pretty fuckin good for 1$, but then again he's prob running it through some mixing
I'm pretty sure the one that Ed Sheeran is using there is a U67 which is the vintage tube version and a lot more expensive and rarer then the U87Ai
sitting for ages? then stand up and run, RUN!
Man the $3,000 mic just has more sound pickup ability
you should be happy, in the $3k they didn't even give you the windshield! 🤣🤣
Am suprised that $1 mic sounded pretty good. I was expecting worst quality. Its not 3000$ mic quality but its pretty good
i like when he showed the 3000$ microphone
that one dollar mic is the mic I use in all of my music and it actually sucks unless you're working properly with and a decent audio interface and and picks up noise af , although this mic has become close to my heart so even when I make it out I won't throw it away
you can check how the one dollars mic really sounds on my channel listen to any song I made .
shocked that 1 dollar mic sounds so good lol
The dollar doesnt come from quality it comes from size😂
I bought that $1 mic somewhere for like $4.99 a few years ago... it still sounds good. You can even plug headphones into the other port
The $1 mic sounds like (and probably is) a dynamic mic, the other one sounds like (and is) a condenser mic. That’s the only sound difference. quality wise ehhhh
Those transients is everything
The Fact That I never wanted to know bout this until the question was raised .......
Honestly the fact that a one dollar microphone exists is pretty amazing. That said the more expensive Mike does sound significantly better to me.
I’m gonna need a mic stand for that 1 dollar microphone 😂
the $3000 sounds more detailed but it makes a hissing sound, i would rather use another mic.
Yeah you did make that 1$ make sound great no lies but that 3000$ one sounded so much better 😂❤
Don't matter which mic you are using.
You need to have good voice 😊
singer 70% mic 30%... is what I'm learning these days
well it sounds better when u have all this stuff done to it like the filters you put on it
I didn’t notice a whole lot change from the 1 dollar to the 3000 dollar mic
It feels like you're watching in 60hz monitor vs 240hz monitor
1 dollar mic nice but 3000 Mic takes audio to the next level
1 dollar sounds good with a voice and a mix knowledge.
No, it is not exact the same model Edd uses. You are reviewing the U87ai, and in the video, he recorded with the vintage U87 (no "ai"). There are differences in sound and in price.
It's not an 87 it's a 67 tube mic
use a good earphone guys..... that $3000 sounds a lot more 3d and warm
goin down fr casually playing in the background
You can hear the high end boost on the 87 lol
The 1 dollar microphone actually pretty good! Where did you get that
That mix should come with a shock mount for that price..
Amazing! Goes to show how much a good enviroment and EQ can bring you. The only thing that lacks is overall bitrate quality and stereo
The difference really doesn’t matter much when you’re listening through phone speakers 😂
The 3000 dollar one has this weird like peak type thing
