Thinking about buying the Rode NT-USB Microphone? Check the latest pricing on Amazon: amzn.to/3c1HCkz (as a disclaimer, purchasing through this link gives me a small commission to support videos on this channel -- the price to you is the same).

Thank you for the review. I like it that you used the microphone stand provided in the package, so that I could see how it would look like in front of the computer.

Excellent video man! Love your realness and hearing (and seeing) the audio challenges you faced also, glad it's not just me! :)

Good review. I've been using this microphone for almost 4 years. I would highly recommend it for singing vocals or singing to backing tracks. The mic. is very sturdy as I've let it fall by mistake on two occasions. I've noticed that when connecting to Windows 10 the audio levels have to be set pretty high. This did not happen on previous versions of windows. Like all u.s.b. microphones the post editing after recording can really make it sound way better...This microphone can be used as an external mic. for your phone. All you need is a little O.T.G. cable & a free app. called Open Camera. You will notice immediately the improvement v your phone internal mic. I also have a Blue Snowball which does not work with my phone. Hope the above may be of benefit to some folks out there.

Thank you Kevin, super helpful review

Great review, thanks a lot!

Great video, was wondering what boon mic I needed

Thanks for review. I'm buying it now.

Excellent microphone. Clear deep voice 👍 working with windows 7 after couple seconds

Great Video Thx Kev

Good sound. Thanks! Mini is great too!

Anyone else catch how he perfectly timed the ending of the video to when his kid started cying? You've got that fatherly duty timed like clockwork.

For those who are wondering about phone compatibility , I found this works well with my Samsung a52s 5g. I was worried that the power output of the phone could be too low, but there's no issue. May be different for some phones tho.

Good review dude

I prefere the Rode to the Blue Yeti from all the reviews I’ve seen, but the blue yeti has the possibility to have stereo sound, to make interviews, etc. Not only a cardioid sound. That’s why I’m hesitating a lot

Hey what program do you use for voice recording with the Rode?

How about white noise? Do you need to remove air noise in editing?

Would you recommend this mic for better zoom calls or sth closer to earbuds instead?

How sensitive is it? I am worried about it picking up my ceiling fan and whatnot.

How do you connect the microphone to your camera?

can you use an usb female to 3.5 male adapter to use for a micro usb on a dslr to record videos?

Do you have any recommendations for a "Mic Boom Arm" for the Rode NT-USB; headphones, and speakers for computer.

Watched this video to get a good idea of the microphone for podcasting and streaming, this really helped my decision. I'll probably get a boom swivel mount and a shock mount too. Good review, thanks man.

does it have bad plosions

How well does this mic do ambience (wind, trees, birds, rain, thunder etc)?

I’m wondering what sound is it the “tut tut” thing ? I’ve heard using my headphone it’s noticeable when you speak

Hi, thank you so much for the video, and also can I know how to make a full video to up load to youtube? l'll be appreciated.

Best gain settings for Windows 10?

Hey Kevin, thanks. Do i need to get it a phantom power v48? Tried it on ableton 11 live it wont read though when i sing it records poor warps of audio sounds like acoustic shrill.. Can the phantom power improve audio quality?

Kindly help me, my Rode NT USB is taking too much sound my neighbors background sound,, how can i remove this. means this mike is too sensitive it takes sounds like 1KM away sounds. please help Greetings from India

Does the mic work well with a power USB hub?

I'm surprised you have a list comparing the SM7B to this rode. One is xlr mic, one is usb.

great sound, man! it's unedited, isn't it? thanks for the review

Thanks Kevin, The microphone does not seem to be picking up on my macbook, any advice?

0:00 Hello Kevin! My name is John.

thanks for this video, I've bought it but I don't know how to connect it to my Canon G7X markii. Please can you help me. I need it also for my KZfaq videos. thanks

Its very quiet out the box how to make it louder? Just got it

Hi Kevin, can you please help🙏 Today I purchased the RODE NT USB. I have a Macbook Pro 2019 [USB-c] but have a USB Hub for conversion, Blue Led shows for power on & Microphone Identifies in Systems Prefs, but I have tried to record something in both the Rode CONNECT App & Audacity & just getting silence on the recording, any help appreciated, thanks - Robbie

Can you use it with phones?

I purchased RODE mic, plugged it in and then I couldn't hear soundtrack I had installed in my PowerPoint until I disconnected it. Help

Can anyone tell me if you can adjust the height of the mic when it’s on the stand? Does the stand adjust at all?

Hi! Why does Rodes Software Connect not Support the mic ? Or does it in the meanwhile?

Is your room sound treated?

Is it good for beginner artist

Good mic for voice overs?

Bought Rode NT-USB. Did not work correctly from the beginning. Connecting to PC ok, but not working or working very poorly, loosing connection. It turned out that the supplied USB cable (very long 6m) is the cause of the problems. I have measured the cable charactereistics (I have oscilloscope etc.) and it does not comply to USB specifications. Not even fully compliant with USB 1.1.Full Speed (12mbit/s). Shame for company with such reputation to include such poor cables. Bought another USB cable and it works.

I find the mic to be sensitive to pick up sound from literally anywhere and anything, downstairs etc. It's also sensitive to my voice, it clips fast.

Do you edit your audio in post ? Mess with gain? Compression ? Threshold ? Or just straight from mic to vid ? Thanks!

Can I connect two rode NT-USB microphones to one computer and record audio at the same time?

im kinda confused with these mics.... Im searching for a new mic, something clear and nice, not too expencive. But im not sure when buying do you need some aditional system for the mic? Or you just plug the usb in the pc and thats all?

Oh, you filmed on my Birthday Eve

Thank you :) I hate reading instructions

Does it work for PC gaming well or at all?

Is it true - that I cannot connect my nt-usb to røde-connect?
