Excellent video, this helped me make the final adjustments on my microphone placement when I wasn't so sure, and as someone who's insanely indecisive, this was a lifesaver! I also loved the 'you're supposed to sound like you're in someone's head' analogy, thanks dude.

I am planning to purchase the Focusrite Voicemaster Pro. I am looking for the right cables to connect it to any kind of speaker. Please tell me what kind of cables or what type of speakers it supports. Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day.

@@kingpaco87 Hi! I have no experience with the channel strip. Heads up- I don’t believe that’s an audio interface, if that’s what you’re looking for. The Vocaster 2 is plenty enough for that. Usually, to connect to monitor speakers, 2 balanced trs cables are used. That’s what I use on the Vocaster 2.

@kingpaco87 9 часов назад
@@DaveSoltura The difference between Vocaster 1 and Vocaster 2 is that number one is for hosting, like a guitar, and number two is for being a guest, so you can play guitar and sing. I was thinking of buying number one because I only talk to people when I play my game. Is number one good enough for me? And why did you choose number two? I need to know.

@DaveSoltura
@DaveSoltura День назад
@@victornguyen2480 That’s already a fantastic mic! It wouldn’t be an upgrade- more of a switch to a different mic type. The Quadcast S is versatile. The K688 is slightly better and rejecting background noise, but you have to bring your mouth much closer. I wouldn’t make the switch if I were in your place, unless noise is very much an issue.

Hi :) I was wondering about the Fifine A9. I can’t seem to find a video on it anywhere? It’s being sold at my local tech store but i can’t seem to find any english videos about it. Do you happen to know anything about this model?
@DaveSoltura
@DaveSoltura День назад
Hi! It came out very quickly after the A8 plus. I never got to review it, but I’ll ask Fifine and see if they’re interested in me reviewing it. At first look though, seems like a reskin of the A8 plus, since it shares its page with the A9 on their website. You can check my A8 plus video to get a similar idea since features are the same: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xeBvf_9a0Zk.htmlsi=VZX0FxOvjf1KpjRA

Connected via usb, which turns on the light. Cranked the gain of both the mic and headphones all the way down. Attached the mixer/interface via xlr, and chose that as my audio source. :) So the usb just powers the light.

@@DaveSoltura fortunately, it's not the same problem haha the noise im talking about is more like there is a fan directly pointed at the mic in the background noise (and believe me, when i equalize my mic, it becomes REALLY loud, kinda like a cheap mic). and i have a fifine a6v mic (condenser usb mic), and it doesn't have that same kind of background noise, which is strange, since a condenser mic should pickup MORE noise. im confused. edit: forgot to say it, but the background noise like cars and people talking in the background is not really loud, it's what u should expect from a dynamic mic, so it confuses me even more on why the hell there is this "fan noise" kinda thing edit 2: now that i searched for some static noise in yt, it does sound kinda like a VHS white noise sound effect lol (but like... in the background)
@DaveSoltura
@DaveSoltura 5 дней назад
@@ahpisthebest ah! That fan noise is what you would call preamp noise. So both the mic, and headphones, have some kind of noise, as you boost their gain. If you listen to the mic using the headphone port on the mic itself, you’re introducing even more noise to what you hear back. The headphone preamps aren’t that clean. If you listen via speakers or your monitors, you’ll only hear the mic’s “fan noise,” but through cleaner playback. It should be less than the noise of both combined.
