    Re-uploaded after RUclips had a site-wide bug that caused views to be counted incorrectly. I did not want to let it die to a malfunctioning algorithm, I have seen that before. So I deleted it. I rarely ask, but liking and commenting on this would be a massive help. Thank you!

      @@Hainbach It sounds amazing! Especially with the contrast between that rich ribbon mic piano sound and the lofi broken cactus sound. Gonna have to look into getting our own cactus - if a pedal made that sound, people would probably be losing their minds and dropping hundreds of dollars.

    One type of mic I find indispensable is a stereo Omni in ear headphone sized set. Just got a new set from Earsight in France for around €100. But there's Clippy, and Usi Pro too, but Earsight are better value and may sound better than the Clippys and the Usi is hard to buy. Perfect to carry always with my Zoom F3 for a tiny but great sounding recording setup. For a slightly bigger setup, I like the Line Audio CM4 cardiod on a stereo bar for compact ORTF setup with Sound Devices MixPre 3. Then I like the character of the Oktava MK-012 and it's flexible with the multiple capsules. Think you can mod them for even lower noise. A lot to be said for a self contained recorders mics, like the Sony. Loved my Sony m until I lost it

    • @compucorder64
      @compucorder64 11 месяцев назад +2

      @@ekkoflokNo worries, there's some good mics at all the price points. CM4 is great, very nice character, but maybe being a back electret doesn't have the top end extension, SNR / senstivity and resistance to handling noise of some more expensive. Then I think the Oktava MK012 also has nice crisp character, especially on voice and guitar, but self noise isn't quite up there with the very best. Then Beyerdynamic MCE930. Then then Neumann km184 you mention. And on up to Schoeps. All good options.

      @@ekkoflok no, I wouldn't say it does sound like the electret mics I've used before. It has a smooth high end, but so does something like JZ Vintage mics. And it's maybe not quite as sensitive and ultra low noise as some. But with any kind of good clean preamp, they sound really good. With my Zoom F3 they sound great, Sound Devices, my MOTU Ultralite mkV. Then again, there's some great DPA mics that are electret designs. So I think think really hampers them from sounding good. Neutral but smooth, intimate but not compressed or congested is how I'd maybe describe them - pleasant basically.

  • @bricelory9534
    @bricelory9534 Год назад +1

    I absolutely love this! These niche sort of comparisons are so helpful when thinking about our own mic choices when there are so many options out there.
    I would love, if it ends up being something you'd find interesting to do, is run the same audio sources through different mics so we can have a better sense of what each excels at. Of course, I understand that this has extra challenges with RUclips compression and the other well-noted issues with sharing precision audio comparisons on different audio set ups. But I think it could still be really interesting to hear!
    Regardless, I really love this video - thank you for sharing!

      @G.Man- , I think those options will do just fine, I have had the sE x1R, which stood out sound wise, Also the Bumblebee pro Audio DIY offers great quality components, I bought their ribbon motors and Samar audio transformers, many transformers available . One of my absolute favorites is the Rode NTR, they are apparently going back into production anytime, they are possibly the most versatile, it sounds similar to my AEA KU5A somehow but with a diffreent polar pattern, but costs a bit more than the range you mentioned. I am at a point now if I had to start again, I would just go straight for the mics I want specifically. However I think the so called budget options available now will almost all sound great, hope that helps!
