USB cables aren't all the same. Some, like your Logitech cable, appear only to be for power and charging. Others are bor both power and data. You need the latter for your unit to function. Nice mic.
This guy makes video-editing and presentation so natural and effortless. A lot of people try to interject little angle-changes, or surprise visual insertions to "try" to add some humor. But usually it comes off as desperate or amatureish. But Mr. Voiceover pulls it off! And the perfect lighting; Colorful studio; Pleasant speaking-voice. Thank you, Voiceover Village!

Some cables are power only I've experienced that with other devices .the background noise remover captures a noise print of the room and determines what frequencies to kill
I got this mic and can confirm it works with the ipad pro/ipad mini with the ipad usb-c cable that comes with the ipad - it's just plug and play and works fine with Ferrite. It's an amazing little on-the-go option and I've been really surprised by it's practical versatility (like using it as an interface). Hot tip: The mic sounds great and while it is sensitive to plosives, I keep mine in a basic fabric glasses case and found if I just leave that over it when recording, that helps a lot. This really is just a great little mic and has allowed me to a warmer sound doing VO on the road than I was getting with zoom devices. I absolutely love it.
Not sure if David ever answered your question regarding design being so similar to a pack of cigarettes. I met him in a Tula presentation in Brazil and yes, he confirmed that was exactly the size reference. Tks for the video!
The power off and power back on to be recognized is a Mac problem, not an USB-C issue. My old m-audio interface does the same thing. To be recognized on Mac, connect it with software already open. That's backwards from Windows, as it best recogniizes an old/new device's connection if connected prior to opening any software. Also, the reason some dont show a light is also the specific USB-C cable, as USB C has about 12 different versions. I suggest getting Usb c 3.2 gen 1or better.
I want to do book reading with mine or any reading material. I've been curious about it & I really wanna buy it since I don't have a computer at the moment. I'll just use my phone 😊
After a few months of not using the Tula, I've tried 7 different cables today and had no connection to Windows with ANY of them. It's so frustrating. This mic has been wonderful the few times I've used it, but its so unreliable when trying to use it on a computer. If I recorded in mobile mode, I'm not sure I'd be able to get the files off.
@@creatorsvillage The usb cables has two types. “Full functionality” cable - it’s a cable, that transfer data and power. And the cheaper cables, that transfer only power. Did you don’t know/Understand that? And if Logitech cable comes with the mouse for example, it will transfer only power. That’s why Tula not works with it.
@@Alex-Del-Rey Well I didn't know that. But I do now. Interesting that Tula don't mention it in their FAQ "Why is my Tula not showing up on my computer".
I’ve been wanting this mic just to have a super fast easily accessible portable mic to keep in my jeep. I might have to get it soon. It sounds really really good. Even on my iPhone speakers I preferred over the rest.
I just got a tula. I have a Samsung s20 5g uw. When I plug it in to the phone and use camera it says there's a USB mic. I can see the red and green lights flashing when I talk. Everything looks great. Until playback. Silent. Help?? 😆
Hmmm, This is tricky because i don't know much about the samsungs. But in general, I would check your recording levels on the app, Check the gain settings on the Tula, and if all else fails, use the Tula as a stand alone recorder and sync the vid to the audio later. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
Hi Eric, all smartphones will automatically set a USB mic as the input AND the output. So you'll need to monitor via the headphone jack on the Tula. If you're recording with your phone and want to listen to the playback on the phone's speakers, just unplug the Tula and the phone will make the phone's speakers the output again. It's a drag that one can't choose input and output sources manually on phones that way you can on a computer but sadly, it's beyond our control.
What Mic stand/boom arm do you use for the Tula? It only comes with a wide attachment for desk/boom mounting and my mic stand only takes a small attachment...
Hi there. Great video on the Tula mic. Such a fascinating microphone. I do have one question. I know you can use a lavalier mic with it, but can you use the lavalier mic with it AND have it connected to an iPhone so you're using the Tula an interface device?
Awesome video about the Tula mic and its possibilities ! I love your voice, and your sense of humour :). What headphones do you use ? Would love to hear about them too.
Did you have any issues with Zoom switching microphone erratically during calls? I am using Beats headphones for my Speaker, and a Tula mic for the Microphone. During the call, my mic was being flipped back and forth between my sleeping web cam and my Tula, so I disconnected the cam. Then it started flipping the mic between my headphones and the Tula. The other people on the call did not detect any difference in how I sounded so I don't actually think the mic was changing at all. However, I was getting constant Zoom popups telling me about the mic change, and when that happened, the sound in my headphones kept changing. Such a weird situation. I checked Google and I think this is a known-issue. I found a long thread in the Zoom community forums and I see Mac users as well as Windows users with the same issues. I just want to pic a mic and a speaker and have Zoom use those instead of constantly switching for no reason.
@@creatorsvillage - I solved it. I disabled all other input devices and now the system has nothing to try and switch to. :) I had another issue with Zoom, but that was either a dodgy USB port or a loose cable. I switched port and have had no issues since. Thanks!
I haven't used a blue raspberry. But the Tula always seems to come out on top when compared to other mics. Plus it has some much functionality. I still use mine all the time.

I'm on my second Tula mic and it just stopped turning on. TWICE! The first time, using a 2021 MacBook Pro, plugged into the computer it stopped working after 3 days. It looked like it was even charging but it stopped working. I sent that one back and got ANOTHER Tula Mic and after a week THAT ONE STOPPED TURNING ON!!! I love the mic when it works but it just stops turning on and it won't charge with a wall charger, battery bank, computer, nothing! Am I doing something wrong? Did I get two lemons? Is this something anybody else is experiencing? This is driving me crazy!
Oh no. That's horrible. So far I haven't had any trouble with mine. Battery still holds a good charge. However, I don't use it much as a USB mic. I use it mostly in stand alone situations. Maybe you're getting some sort of power fluxuations from the laptop? I'm really grasping at straws though.
@@creatorsvillage I just gave up. I returned the second one and got my money back. Don’t want to go to court a third time expecting the Tula to work and have it not turn on for a third time. I accept my losses.
Side by side comparisons were so obvious! We all can get "store-blind" with our equipment and question anyone who questions us on our preferences. But to actually HEAR the differences were so telling! I totally agree with your conclusion, the Tula was THE best in these side by sides. The range was superior, full bodied, and solidly built. I'm a believer now!
I love my Tula. My only gripe with it is the sibilance. It sort of makes me have to do extra work by adding a de-esser to my audio in post. Wish I didnt have to do that so that it would just be perfect audio baked-in, but I guess beggars can't be choosers? Great video and breakdown!
The Tula Microphone sounds great. With all other mics comparison, I think the Neat Bumble bee sounds great too. (By the way, TULA name is curios name, specially coming from a Russian Manufacturer. Here in Mexico, there is a town with the same name TULA and it has an archeological site where the name of town comes from, this archeological site is very interesting, due to it has sculptures of Giant Men, we call them " Los Gigantes de Tula").
i don't see any room for battery so it's not a portable device i guess, village dude? oh maybe the battery is not removable because you're charging it at some point with your outdated firmware.
All of the electronic design and the firmware engineering was done in Stockholm. Brusfri was invented by a company called Klevgrand (they make awesome audio plugins) and we optimized it to work as an embedded system on our chip.

Very natural.
Thank you for the comparison with various microphones.
My pleasure!
Awesome review. The Tula sounds really great!
Thanks for the comment!
I’m in love with the Tula honestly
Amazing Video @Voiceover Village.. Keep up the good work. Don't lose that interesting humor. I got my Tula Mic....
Thanks, will do!
And it comes in several beautiful colors ! :-) Love the RED and the SeaFoam ! :-)
I almost got the seafoam.
@@creatorsvillage Yes, this is my favorite color... A classic.
naaaaw red is the 💣 lol

Wow, Tula sounded best, and i agree the bumble bee was 2nd. Awesome video, thank you!
Is it good.for tibetian bowls?
Soundsl like air effects on tula like the focusrite audio interface got the air effect option, radio station mic.

This mic has been wonderful the few times I've used it, but its so unreliable when trying to use it on a computer. If I recorded in mobile mode, I'm not sure I'd be able to get the files off.
I would advise sending a note to the tula support desk. Maybe there's a new driver or something.

+ about humor
I just saw on eBay the cream new in box for 150. It’s a steal. This is by far the best mic for the price hands down.
