An awesome video as per usual, Brandon! 😄👌 As always, I appreciate you for taking the time to go into such a high level of detail and thoroughness with your videos. 🙂👍👍 I picked up the Wave 3 off of eBay for $100 back in January of 2023 which I can’t wait to setup and use. 😁🎙️ Cheers to you, my man! 🥃🥃

May i know what mic stand you are using?

@Milkywayhaxz 4 ай бұрын

nt1 is the best in this video hands down but the wave 3 isnt terrible but it sounds like it would pick up button clicks/ table taps really harshly

If and when time permits could you film a video on determining if you’re able to use the Wave 3 as a USB mic on a Sony PlayStation 4 console, please? Thank you 😄👌🎮🎙️

Sure, but I think the answer to this is yes anyways. I’ll let you know

Do you think i can use it as an podcast mic or i should buy fifinek688 if i want to use only my android phone to record

@DarkenedCyrus 6 ай бұрын

If you have multiple people in the room, go dynamic like the K688. If you are solo, then its up to you!

@rashedmango9753 6 ай бұрын

@DarkenedCyrus thank you so much but i just want your opinion wich is best to buy usb pod mic or fifinek688 or fduce sl40, im really confused

@DarkenedCyrus 6 ай бұрын

@rashedmango9753 k688 is my budget choice. The PodMic is great, just a little pricey

@steefa_wav 6 ай бұрын

id love to hear a review comparing this to the most popular dynamic mics, AND if you have a woman to also do a sound test for each of them (in addition to your test) that would be even better because there are hardly any videos showing off which mics work best with female voices.

Hey man, watched both your videos regarding the wave 3 and the fifine k688. Which would you recommend?

@SanDiegoMarvelWow 4 ай бұрын

I have had this microphone (Elgato) for about a year, and I have mixed feelings. The quality is great, but it has a mind of its own. The sound will go up and down on its own. I can't figure out how to fix the problem.

@AsifKhanavidandroid Ай бұрын

It's probably the noise gate or cancellation. Try turning it off from the Wave Link software.

tbh for the price it's an overpriced mic. For $150 you get a plastic mic with an uncomfortable shape just for what? the software? all that functionality you already can ger inside the OBS, but for the $150 you can get a good usb dynamic mic like AT2040usb or even smth from Rode, etc.

@DarkenedCyrus 3 ай бұрын

The Wave Software is really what you’re getting here and is hands down, amazing. You can’t do everything in OBS that it offers, as it handles the sound for the whole system, not just your stream

@danyalOFF 3 ай бұрын

@@DarkenedCyrus I understand, but now in OBS you have Application Sound Capture, so you can capture the sound of any app (discord, music app, etc.)
