    I've watched a lot of mic videos. you somehow succeeded to "show" rather than "tell" better than anyone I have seen so far. Thanks

      Totally agree. I like how the video is polished and comprehensive, while still maintaining your personality, and not being too slick.

    This has to be the best video for demonstrating microphones. I really appreciate the time it must’ve taken to get this all put together.

    This was great. I’m a music producer that’s getting into the video/interview/tutorial realm and have 2 shure sm7bs but I like the idea of not having a microphone in my shot. The rode ngt3 sounded pretty close to the sm7b as far as smoothness and bass on your voice. Thanks for putting all the time in for this comparison.

  • @Bear_rose

    Great job on this video! Thanks for making it. This is a subject for which you can do all the research you want, but it really helps to have practical examples. Audio can either elevate your video, or cripple it. I just switched to using the XLR-K3M on my a6400, and the difference is considerable.

  • @bigchevy350boy
    @bigchevy350boy Год назад

  • @warlight96
    @warlight96 2 года назад +6

    I love your style, It's a little improvisational and goofy seeing you hunched up between the different stands trying to get to the camera mic. And yet you still do such an amazing job of showing how each microphone works and how they sound, which not a lot of other people do. It's like you understand that you have to actually use a microphone for the viewer to understand what it sounds like! Wow crazy right? a lot of people just talk about a mic without using it in the video so I really appreciate your effort and expertise. You've earned a sub.

    I've got a senheiser mke400 on an extra large adjustable boom arm. It was a little bit of work, fabricating a mount that weighed enough for the boom arm, but it turned out awesome. I put it just out of frame above. I think it sounds amazing being that close. It probably helps that my room is acoustically pretty deadened. I built sound panels for my walls and ceiling.
