This channel is dedicated to the tech of at-home, professional voice over. I review microphones, studio equipment and help new voice actors set up their studios from hardware to software so they can make the next great recording!

I listened to this on my Sony MDR-ZX110 headphones. I, too, own a set of MDR7506 headphones, and while I can't comment on booth vs control room use, I will say the MDR7506's are just too damned tight and too damned heavy, which is why I'm using my MDR-ZX110's at the moment. The general discomfort (tightness, heaviness) may be contributing to why you find them so awful for control room (editing) use.
They do sound similar but not at all identical. AT is fuller and flatter, where as the Lewitt is slightly scooped and more presence, which I guess makes it more mix ready without too much EQing
Your hands need a tranquilizer. I literally had to put another window in front of youtube so I could hear your voice without needing to watch those hands nervously flailing about non-stop for 13 minutes and 48 seconds.
The 80 Hz filter is a sharp (18 dB/octave) high-pass. It's good for cutting out room rumble and some types of handling noise. The 300 Hz filter on the other hand has a much gentler (only 6 dB/octave) rolloff, and is intended to balance out proximity effect in close-miking situations without limiting the low-frequency bandwidth per se. The high-frequency boost isn't meant to add presence--it's set too high up in the spectrum for that--but to compensate for the sound-dulling effect of heavy windscreens.

OMG! Thank you so much for this video! Amazing job describing for us laymen what the heck compression is, how it works, and how to adjust it. Also, thank you for sharing your settings and recommendations for a good place to start with these settings. Trying to get started in audiobook recording and have been struggling with some of these pieces and just determining a good place to start! Your recommended jumping off point was just what I needed, so thanks for letting us peak behind the curtain and not giving us the cliche response “everyone’s settings will be different”!
For what it's worth, I have both this NT1 5th gen, and the NT1 Signature Series, released a few months later and selling for $90 less. To my ear, they really do sound the same via XLR-so much so that I've successfully used them as a stereo pair. The extra $90 really does seem to be for the USB capability and the associated effects package. "Raw" sound quality is identical as far as I can tell.
Mike--I want to let you know that I purchased a TZ Audio Stellar X2 based on your recommendations, and I'm quite pleased with it. It's very rich for voiceover work. If anyone has any recommendations for EQ'ing this mic, I'd love to hear your experiences/recommendations. Thank you!
Sir, I am very tired of asking everyone. But I did not get the right advice from anyone. Some say to buy a dynamic mic, some say to buy a condenser mic. I want to record my poetry professionally at home. Please tell me a good mic and audio interface which gives me professional sound quality within my budget. My room is not Sound proof, My total budget is 350 dollars for audio interface, mic and headphones. But sir I want the Same sound quality which is in this video 👇🏿 ru-vid.com0MytL7WNsBg?si=n2rVzX24BK0bI5F-
