Condenser Mic Vs Shotgun Mic : What is BEST for Video
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 окт 2024
- This video compares a large diaphragm Condenser Mic Vs Shotgun Mic. Both Condenser mic types are used to record dialogue. The Shotgun mic is the usual go to condenser mic but a large condenser mic might be the better choice in some situations.
There could be a third choice that might work just as well and be cheaper to purchase.. stay tuned to find out what.
Exactly the video I was looking for. To the point, not filled with gags or useless info just to get the watch time longer. Excellent, thank you.
Hey, thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated!
I just found your channel!
The audio quality is exceptional in your videos! Thanks for sharing !!! Keep posting!!!
Funnily enough, I had interesting results by accident with a cheap dynamic microphone just out of frame aimed at my mouth. The only issue was noise and hiss (I was using an atrocious USB interface by Line6), so I used a strong denoise software. Apart from that and typical denoise artifacts, the voice captured that way was good enough with minimum room reverb. I will need to repeat that experiment now that I have a clean preamp
The quality of this video far surpasses what your subs indicate! You've got a new subscriber :)
outstanding! one of the best and most understandable summaries comparing the acoustical differences between SG and condensers. The clarity and natural sound of the condenser was really impressive, but I agree that the proximity requirements may not be ideal for video. Do you have an opinion on lavs for indoor recording?
Wow now I know how a shotgun works. I never knew that. Thanks!
Thanks for this detailed explanation on how these mics work! I am in over my head in my mic research and this video helped.
Hi S Dee, thanks for the comment. I’m glad it’s been helpful.
Great quality production, only a matter of time for RUclips Algorithm to shower it's blessings on you.
Another great one 👍 excellent explanation on the shotgun mic
Straight to the point.
Thanks for the video, great explanation!
Thanks
After a few videos i finally know one of the best options. A Lavaliere Mic
Great video. Thanks for making it, mate. Greetings from Adelaide.
Hey, thank you!
Very good quality video and informative, thanks!
Thank you!
Now I get it. Shotgun mics sounded perfect, but seeing how they work, I can see why it wouldn't want one for my in-room recording.
Great video, but the K2 looks unusable there because of the lighting- put the mic on the opposite side of the lightsource to avoid a massive shadow on your face.
You are a good teacher........
Thanks for a very cool video.
Why am I seeing this until now... YT is broken again!
very informative video, much thanks
Thanks for the detailed explaination , keep it up
Thank you, much appreciated
Thanks man great video
Thanks.
thank you for the insight!
I prefer to hear a bit of room reverb actually I think it's a bit of a 'fallacy' to try to get the dryest sound possible at least with vlogging. It's nice to hear some 'air' some room.
but why does my yeti nano have a static buzzing noise when I connect it to my Sony a6400 camera. I even took out the Nono usb from my computer and plugged it into a power bank and still a static noise. I live in a flat is that the problem, due to not be grounded maybe. but its just seems like the ups part is the problem as I even bought a new 3 ring, 4 port aux cable as this was also said to be a possible fix but still same loud static buzzing.
can you help here as otherwise I will be heading towards a shotgun mic.
Thanks
I wouldn’t recommend a usb mic for direct to camera connection. They’re fine for plugging into a computer but aren’t really up to recording into a camera or audio recorder. Get yourself a shotgun mic, something like the video mic pro would be great.
I'm trying to connect my shotgun mic for my acoustic guitar, but it's not recording on to the DAW does anyone know how to do it?

Would shotgun mics be good for asmr ??
Why ain't you uploading anymore?
Hey, sorry, I’ve been pretty busy with other stuff and wasn’t sure people were finding them helpful enough to carry on making them. Reading these comments though and maybe I could do some more. Any requests for subjects!?

I totally understand,
Your contents are solid, Hopefully you bounce back sooner.
How come you gave up on your channel?
What 128 Subs? Why not 128M yet?
Thanks for the tips.
Thank you!
nice!
but i can hear the sound of your lip flaps constantly and that's not gonna fly for dubbing
Call me crazy but the “shotgun” style mic is more what I prefer because It sounds smother. With the other mic you can hear all the sounds of his Sylvia and his lips smacking like he’s in your ear and I don’t enjoy that at all.
Counterpoint: if you don't have a treated room, a dynamic mic is better than a LDC. There's a reason why Shure SM7b is so popular for podcasts after all. And in a very well treated room (or a vocal booth) shotgun mics are as very good as well, and a lot of professional VO artists use Sennheiser MKH 416 in their work. Another point to consider is that LDC picks up a lot more mouth noises, it's very clear even in this video.
(also comparing a 1000$ LDC to 370$ shotgun and 400$ SDC is a tad bit unfair, but it's good enough to demonstrate a point)
I just picked up Audio-Technica AT4073a, which had a 1000$ MRSP but is now discontinued and costs like 200-300$ second-hand, and in my moderately treated room (some foam on walls and ceiling, a couple bass catchers in the corners, very heavy curtains on the window and a carpet on the floor) it sounds better (at least to my ear) than SM7b that I was using previously. But since it's me listening to my own voice, I might not be impartial...
This video is amazing... but your hand is so distracting it's a little hard to focus on what you're saying.
Haha, yeah I’ve a bad habit of talking with my hands! Something to work on I guess!
i get better audio recording on my phone than i do a literal Sony shotgun mic what a joke hahaha
Rode, Rode, Rode, Rode. You do realize there are OTHER MICROPHNE MAKERS out there? Really.
These videos are very nice and super helpful. Why are you so upset? He might have this microphone and no others of this quality, or he might like this mic the best, either way, I do not see a problem with this.
