Best Microphones for podcast, YouTube & content creation 

FYI: The TLM 103 came out in 1997 - 23 years ago.

@@FamousTVvoice xD

The SM7B requires so much gain that you can easily hear any background noise and it sounds worse than a much cheaper condenser mic if your room isn't terrible imo.

have to agree. they sound even better in my newer videos.

🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Exactly my thought. The production quality & value is insane. I think less people care about audio anyway.

No it lacks the treble sparkle a condenser has, there’s no way to add it in.

Agreed. I thought it sounded really nice the way he had it set up though. A lot of value there.

The RE20 is in black as well

​@@tuneunleashed I know. I feel like wanting to sell right away my grey ones and get a black RE 20

The SM7B is the most overrated microphone ever. There are tons of better options for not even half the price.

I have both mic's NTG 3 and MKH416 .... MKH416 is simply the best period. Get the MKH416.

@- I also have both mics and agree the 416 is the better mic. The NTG3 is quite midbassey in comparison which can really muck up male voices if you're not careful about placement or are in a crap room.

True but rode is a Chinese copy of mkh 416 and will mot perform as well we took it on a fishing trip, it git got little and fell apart very quickly, MKH416 can handle a stort for $300 more, we use it on a houston storm and keep working like the boss of all mics.

57s and 58s are the ultimate super utility mics.

@@stephenrosenthal5337 58's and 57's mostly suck. You just see so many of them because they're literally impossible to kill. Every one that has ever been produced I'm convinced is still on some guitar cab or snare drum somewhere. Run it over with a bus and it'll still work...somehow.

The Tlm 103 is on the EA4 shock mount attached to the rode PSA-1 arm. And connected by an XLR With 90° connector

@@brodiebrazil Thank you this helped me too.

The logo is on the backplate, which can be orientated either way.

Ikr I wish I could have that audio

dbx 286s and a soundcraft mixer whatever that means

@@Deactrals Sound devices mixpre 6, microphone preamp

its definitely not

@@Altair4611 bruh that was 2 years ago. At the time it was a bang for your buck 🤣🤣🤣

@@itsCorona29 still no

Grace M101 works great, but it’s not cheap and you need an AD converter.

I understand that everybody is using scarlett interface but there are much better interfaces nowdays in same price as scarlett, so yes you can, but I have seen guy using the TLM103 with just and interface and it sounded so quiet and bad, because it was picking a lot of room noise, after he bought DBX286s the 103 finally got the sound and tone it supposed to have also he had less room noise

Yup.

A lot, it´s one of the biggest Neumann´s workhorse the 103, it sound better and fuller, it definitely is way more sensitive, it also costs more but that compromises what you get from the microphone.

MKH-416

You can use anything as long as you're right up on it. I wouldn't boom it though.

Just mono, here.

@@brodiebrazil oh, it looks like you've managed to light up every VU in the rack with your voice

With respect, listening to a microphone comparison through a laptop speaker is mostly pointless. They're all pretty much going to sound like your laptop speaker. A pair of headphones (even cheap ones) or a near/midfield monitor setup will do you much better.

depends what you're using it for, but i agree - great mic!

It speaks to the noise floor of the microphone. So basically, without the mic picking up any external sounds, how much noise does it make on its own. All microphones have SOME self noise. Crank up the gain enough and it sounds like a faint hiss. Some are noisier than others, as are preamps. The best combination as far as noise is concerned is a microphone with low self noise along with a very quiet, clean preamp. The major con to a setup like that, the only con really, is it tends to cost some money.

btw, I was looking at these on Amazon (ca)

yeah it's definitely not for the beginner crowd, should have declared that.

@@brodiebrazil @Brodie Brazil btw, I really like your persona. The way you deliver. I ended up getting the RODE Videomic Go 2 as it's affordable. Also, for now I can use its USB feature and then when I can afford a decent camera I can use it with that. Thanks for the informative video. Subscribed.

Go for it man! You don't NEED to have these super expensive mics (relatively speaking) to become a RU-vidr. You can start with much cheaper stuff and then work your way up. That's how most people do it. Sure, they help with the quality, but seriously, your story or topics/content or whatever is MUCH more important than your gear! Trust me. I work in the music industry and I have signed multiple artists. Some submissions had GREAT sounding demos and they were using GREAT equipment and the mix was good, but the song was shit. And some had shitty quality due to their circumstances but their songs were AMAZING! Great lyrics, great arrangement, and great vocals! Which one do you think I would sign? Use what you have or what you can afford to start it! I didn't think I would do a pep talk today, but there you go! :) Have a nice one!

You don't need to spend a fortune for a talk podcast

Dude go watch pewdiepie, we pike to hear the samples

Says the guy with 1 subscriber. Comments like this are from insecure narcissists who are desperate for relevancy. Sit down.
