Ah thank you so much!!! Comments like this keep the motivation coming :)

Nice! You definitely won’t be disappointed :)

same here!

Thank you so much! And yes definitelyyyy on the list, just need an affordable one to fall into my hands :)

Nice, definitely the way to go, best of both worlds :)

@@AudioHaze really?

Whats my prize

@@AudioHaze friendship

Thanks so much for the sub dude! And to answer your question, it definitely won't effect audio quality, just got to mess with it a bit in post, I have a whole video on it check it out :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8h5qNWKurSbop8.html

@@AudioHaze Got it! Thanks man👊

Thanks for the info! Those are some nice choices, I'll have to look into them :)

oh my god yes coming right up

Haha yeah its definitely a generalization for sure, the RE20 is very condenser like as well :) I'll have to check those out at some point!

@@AudioHaze My little love affar with Beyer began with the TG-X81 by the way. One day I took 5 mics from a store to my studio and compared them with my SM58. Gosh, they all were better but the TG-X put it to real shame. The 58 sounded like a pre WW2 radio in comparison. I still don´t get it that Shure is so successful with these prehistoric mics. I mean, people are crazy. Guitar players - for example - say that they need their 57 to get "their" sound. So they are not able produce a decent sound with guitar and amp only? For example at a small club gig or during rehearsals? Wouldn´t it be better to produce a great sound in first place and then to take a neutral mic? But ok, it´s an image thing I guess.

I KNOW RIGHT MY HEART IS HAPPY THEY ARE HERE

I KNOW RIGHT

Ah well you don't actually need a cloud lifter or any external gain! I made a whole video about it :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8h5qNWKurSbop8.html

Thanks man! And good to know, I'lll have to check it out :)

Thank you too my friend :)

This video was brought to you by Amazon prime 🤣😅

Hey Michael! Just left this on a previous comment, I would check out the LCT 440 Pure if you get the chance, great room rejection for a condenser. I just did a review on it too :)

@@AudioHaze great! Thank you, i will look up that review

@@AudioHaze thank you also for the reply. Most of my requests for help have gone unanswered.

@@AudioHaze If I may, a little nudge please. My voice sounds the best on the NT1 for voice over. But my room is not well treated for it. The LCT gives my voice a bright upper end which I don’t like, and yet the room rejection is a big attraction. Question: is it possible to EQ the LCT accordingly? Thanks so much.

You are! Are you familiar with Status?

@@AudioHaze Indeed, sir - the CB-1. Had them for about a year now. If you are evaluating them for a review, be aware you may find an anomaly in the lower midrange that can misrepresent the tonal characteristics of guitars and keyboards. Reference tracks will "cure" this glitch, but it took me about 3 months to become aware of it. (my brand is Ollo Audio, so I'm quite spoiled)

lolllll Michael diving deep, this one’s a deep cut hahaha

I am! Such processes can definitely help but I'm not sure how full proof they are. Honestly in my experience the more room absorbing material you have the better, whether thats formal treatment or just stuff in your room haha

Definitely no need for a cloudlifter with a SM58! I used a 58 and a 57 with my Scarlett interface for years with absolutely no issue. The SM7B is a hungrier microphone, and it still does not necessarily need a cloudlifter. Most any interface should work (beyond super low end like maybe an Audiobox USB), but if I were to choose, a MOTU M2 would work great :) so would a scarlett

Thanks for the algorithm boost haha! I think a 57 vs a NT1a is an interesting match up, I think for pure strumming and more of a darker, less defined sound, a 57 would work yes. You could get more of a detailed audio image with the NT1-a though, then EQ the top end out of it later.

I think you'll like it! Its not my absolute favorite mic but its solid

@@AudioHaze thanks! I hope so lol

Dang! You could get a behringer interface! The uphoria series is quite good and you can get one for like 40 bucks

I love this video! I really do! Especially you addressing disagreements made my day - I found it highly enjoyable. Especially noise, which is a big hobby of mine, hyped me up a big deal! I would never disagree with you on the fact, that dynamic microphones do a better job at rejecting room noise, compared to a condenser microphone. But I know where the the strong disbelieve in this fact stems from. I am using microphones in an untreated room with the kind of soundproofing you can expect. There is a crowded street in front of the house. In a room like this, adding noise suppression can become difficult. You found a seemingly nice setting, but then the street hits rush hour and you notice, that your carefully tuned noise suppression does a sometimes much worse job. In extension, this observation proves, how easy it is to make mistakes in measuring noise suppression. You need to be sure that sound from the outside of the room doesn't hit your microphones. You need to place, angle and level the two microphone capsules at the exact same place. You need the exact same sound to test it, because variations in sound can create different responses (that is reverberations) in your room, depending on the structure, acoustic insulation, the exact acoustic treatment of the room and what not. There are so many things that can go wrong, falsifying the result of your measurement, that it can become much too easy to fall for the false impression, dynamic microphones weren't any better in noise rejection. That being said: The distance to the microphone has a quite big say on the noise rejection in both, dynamic and condenser microphones. And the differences between the two types of microphones aren't as big as the differences in distance can be.

Well said my friend! Glad you enjoyed that section, I'm sure some may not, perhaps I could have represented it better, but I think I will refer them to the comment you've just made here in the event they disagree haha

Hahaha yeah it would make a perfect pair right?? I'll see what I can do, but it wouldn't be until much further in the future when I have the funds. And its Ricky! You were close :)

lol its like the "if a tree falls and nobody's around" but with a nuclear bomb

@@AudioHaze Well it is sort of on that line of thinking, but the disturbance in the electromagnetic pulse is going to play havoc on the magnets even if the body of the microphone remains.

boop beep

I feel like there are no lowers only winners here

@@AudioHaze You are just lowering the walls and revealing so much about yourself. First the puppies on the wall and on t-shirts. Now we learn of feline assistants. All of this time I thought I had to choose between microphone videos and videos of cats and videos. This is like one stop shopping. If you ran a ticker with the baseball scores I would keep your channel open in one window all day.

@@seanwebb605 lol yes I'll just pack every facet of internet culture into my mic reviews :)

@@AudioHaze Just puppies, kittens and microphones. Well maybe you could do one of those videos where you are drowsy coming home from the dentist. But with puppies and kittens.

:))
