I run tests on audio gear and share cool updates to the gear that is reviewed on @podcastage. Hopefully it helps your understand the gear that's available a bit better and make more informed purchasing decisions.
I mean, for folks who insist on scraping the enamel off of their teeth, I guess the Nexadyne sort of works. But, the better option is to coach people how to use a mic rather than treat it as the day's hors d'oeuvres. Now that I think about it, maybe this technique might be suitable for some death metal (?).
I used to think the same thing. But on stage, getting your lips right on the grill really is helfpul. When you're on a tight stage with a bunch of instruments around you, even backing up 1-3 inches makes the signal to background noise ratio TERRIBLE! Back up 3 inches and you're going to pick up nearly as much drum cymbal as you will voice. So eating the mic on stage can be very beneficial if you have loud instruments around the vocalist.
@@Podcastage2 Yeah I get that and was guessing that is where the value added can be found. And then there is the cool visual factor (for some). I have limited experience with live sound, so nice to have that knowledge. Cheers.
Thanks for doing these comparisons. A fast strumming on the guitar would be nice, since the broad spectre of overtones reveals the sonic print of the mic super fast. Just a fast round in the style if the resonance tapping round.
This probably won't be seen but would u (or anyone) change any of what u said would be your preferred settings for a higher pitched female voice or would all setting still remain the same?
Recently been having crackling noise through the headphone. Momentarily disappear after device on/off. Different buffer size, Tried driver re install, different cables wi does install. Several rma, no such luck. Any idea what it could be
This exact same video with a goxlr + SE DM1 Dynamite + SM7B would be such blessing for me trying to decide if i should use my shure naked or with the Dynamite....
I'm sorry this video was very clear and yet i'm here asking for more cause there is something that i didn't get, why would you reduce the interface gain just to raise the computer gain ? Aren't the interface gain a better gain than a computer one ? I'm sorry your video was clear but it seems like a missed something. I'm actually rocking with a GOXLR + SHURE SM7B + sE DM1 Dynamite combo i have a total of 60 gain 28 by default with my Dynamite + 32 on the goxlr. Are you saying that i should remove 15 on the GOXLR just to add 15 of make up gain ? Thanks for you answer (note french guy lol please forgive my english)
Because the interface does not have a limiter, which means you are able to input a signal that exceeds 0dBFS and that will cause the Analog to Digital converter to distort. That will be recorded to the signal and you have that distortion in your recording with nothing you can do. By decreasing interface gain you are ensuring that you have enough headroom to get loud without exceeding 0dBFS. Once the signal is on your computer, you can increase that gain and add a limiter to ensure that you do not exceed that threshold and that distortion (clipping) will not occur.
@@Podcastage2 Thanks for answering me man it make sense now ! I just have another question related to gain for some weird reason ( my setup: GOXLR + SHURE SM7B + sE DM1 Dynamite ) when plugin my microphone to the goxlr without the dynamite the mic itself produce a sound but when using the dynamite, at the same volume on the viewmetter i do not hear that sound at all so i'm rocking with the dynamite always on now but something even stranger happen is that i have LESSSSSSS background noise when putting 0db on the goxlr mic setup and add 24db of make up gain i even tested with obs gain than when i crank up the interface gain... Is software gain better than interface gain ?
So i just found out logitech discontinued the blue sona for the g yeti studio and they ARE NOT THE SAME. improvements made include sensitivity, total harmonic distortion value (THD), and signal to noise ratio!
very interesting! I wonder how it compares to the rode ai-micro? Portability in my case is priority. I need to pass a lavaliere mic signal from my right (deaf) side to a headphone on my left (good) ear, so an audio interface that I can keep in my pocket it a requirement. Also I understand that these mini devices require power thru the usb device, but I wonder if that usb device can be a power bank? I really need the direct monitoring (with minimal latency) above anything.
I’m hearing myself it’s not the pc sound setting I checked that,does anyone know what it could be it started when I downloaded g hub even when I deleted g hub it stays
They all sound nice like this. But when you hear the 67 in a song it’s a lot less competitive with other frequencies in your beat. The 103 and U87ai require EQ after compression. The 67 is good with little to no EQ. 67 has very little sibilance.
I use Streamyard for streaming and podcasting, primarily because of its local recording feature. I have a Vocaster One interface and an SM58 microphone, so my audio quality is solid-definitely acceptable. However, due to the poor internet where I live, I can't stream my video at anything higher than 360p without the image breaking up, becoming fuzzy, or going out of sync. Interestingly, no one has ever complained about the video quality, but they sure have when there are audio issues. So, I’ve learned that as long as the audio is as good as possible, people won’t mind the lower video resolution!
