Straight to the point without all the BS.
And the vocal demonstrations really put things into perspective for me.
This is the only video where I can see a very detailed explanation of all the polar patterns with good demonstrations and examples. Very much required.
Thanks buddy! Planning to buy an AT2035 for my vocals and just wanted to know more about the differences in these polar patterns and your video has truly helped!
The video is very well put together as well!
The thumbnail genuinely explained this better than any diagram I’ve looked at in the last 6 months
Thank you!
One of the best videos that clearly explains the various jargon around audio pickup. Thank you!
This is an incredible tutorial! Quick, very easy to follow through, and with practical examples. It's probably one of the best tutorials I've ever seen on RUclips! Thanks a lot!!
You're very welcome Stefan! We're glad you found it helpful!
This is super helpful, Thank you. I bought a Shure SM7b for my VO work, but I have a fair amount of ambient noise outside my apartment. I now understand how a shotgun mic could be a better piece of gear for this
Thank you so much for this description! It's helped me a lot!
never understand the orientation the charts always showed until this video. thank you!
You’re welcome 😊
Very beautiful explanation about mics. Thank you
It's our pleasure!
Clear and short. Thank you
All about types of mic you can get here🥳
Very well explained. Thank you
Thank you so much for this video. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Very informative, just what I was looking for. Thanks for the video 👌
For house bands and bands playing small venues with the monitors nearby, you absolutely want a cardioid mic for cutting down on feedback and crowd noise bleeding into the mic.
Excellent video with great illustrations, thank you.
phenomenal video
Superb animatic explanation. Graphics helped me understand what I was eagerly looking for!!! So many Thanks Team!!!
We're glad it helped Sunil!
Great video, thank you very much!
Very nicely explained, thank you for the video 😊😊😊
Perfect explanation! 5/5 stars :)
Super explanation. Thanks for that
Thank you so much! I finally understand!!
This was extremely helpful, thank you. Very clear and concise.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice tutorial about different microphones pattern
Thanks a lot for the info. I was looking for a pickup pattern for teams call. Thanks again
Thank you for info.
finally a useful RUclips guide
1:34 Cardioid mic. I have a usb condenser mic that´s a cardioid pattern. I see people using the same one in many different ways, like pointing to person, straight up or straight down. For voice over / streaming, I guess I should point it to directly to my face? Gonna try like this. Was sideways and getting full keyboard + voice. I think this video will make it all better.
Great video! Not just educationally, but also for the Antarctica joke. Thanks for that.
Fantastic video, thank you ! Also one question, at the first microphone demo it really hurt me hearing the sound of the demo mic going from whichever mic you recorded the main part of the video with. And I'm wondering why was there such a huge difference? Because of the room isolation or the mic itself? I'm personally looking more for the sound of the main mic and the sound of the first demo mic is exactly what I want to avoid (I'm not talking about the polar patterns, but about the sound). The sigma 2 for example sounded much better for my ears
Great breakdown and illustrations, it really helped me to understand the differences so thanks a lot.
Thank you, we're glad it helped!
This is amazing! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Bro, this is awesome and really good. Simple, easy to understand and great information!
Thank you!
While its nice having the option of a hypercardoid for reverb rooms, I wish i had known about its weaknesses like how dam close it has to be towards your mouth. Thankfully i added a shotgun mic to the lineup as well.
Always good to have options!
Thank god I found this. I subbed. Hope you get monotized soon. Good stuff man. To the point too. Love it
Thank you very much !
You're welcome!
What happens when you cup a supercardioid mic? I suppose it reduces the rear rejection making it more susceptible to feedback.
lol thanks! i just needed to see the 3D graph (super-imposed on the mic).
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it Kas!
Great video! But I have. A question how does all of this interact with dynamic vs. condenser mics. My understanding is that condenser mics capture audio from everywhere that would make them omni pattern. But then why do we not just call condenser mics omni pattern mics? Is for example something like a supercardioid condenser mic possible if it does exist how is it different from a supercardioid dynamic mic?
which is the best overhead hanging microphone for drama on stage ?,
❤
I feel like the difference between cardioid's side and behind-noise pick up is kind of similar to supercardioid's behind noise pickup. Which means the side-noise would be cut out even more aggressive in the supercardoid.
Am I understanding it properly?
I'm not sure of what to get between cardioid vs super cardioid. The situation that I'm going to use the microphone is on a super noisy environment for a speech recording. The supercardioid does noise rejection better but what is the point when the back side of the microphone slightly picks up noise?
@@LeisuretecDistribution And that's why they recommend having foldback directly behind cardioids, but at 45º to the rear of a supercardioid. Ah, it's all making sense!
Hey, I have a hypercardiod mic and it sounds great for recording podcast but I can hear a pen dropping in my kitchen is it normal ? is there some tweak to do (i'm a total beginner)
There are mic suppression software out there that can help with this that helps focus only on your voice and block’s ambient noise. I’m not a super professional so I don’t know how to tweak a mic either but the software has helped me a lot! :)
Although I am curious, what singular microphone would be best suited for a round table podcast or board gaming session without going individual mics for each speaker?
@@LeisuretecDistribution YOU are golden. Thank you so much :')
I believe that would be an omnidirectional microphone
so fucking useful.
You're welcome!
Which type is better for recording voice over in a noisy room?
It really depends on where the noise would be coming from, Caridoid typically has the best rear rejctions however super cardioid might work better depending on various factors. It’s also important to consider the angle the mic will be at.
Using a Dynamic microphone over a condenser might also help as the reduced sensitivity will help, maybe even more so than the polar pattern.
@@LeisuretecDistribution
Thanks a lot for your help.
Why does the audio from all of them sound terrible, except maybe the omni?
w video
w comment 😉
Those claps in the beginning are making me act rather unwise
😂😂 you hell 😭
Antarctica🤣✌️
Is it just me or isn't this like the worst use of a cardioid microphone?
