How can you drastically improve your audio on Zoom calls or recording videos on your computer? A simple plug and play USB lavalier microphone is the key. See all my recommended gear at kit.co/rayortega.
Who is this USB microphone for? For me, this is an option to give to people who are either new to remote conferencing and/or audio production. The Saramonic ULM10 makes it as easy as plugging into your USB port and selecting the ULM10 as your microphone in whatever app you are using and suddenly you have audio that is clean, clear and pleasing to the person on the other side of the screen. No special audio knowledge needed. So I would give this mic. to people who fit this description as well as someone who might want better audio without a microphone in their face.

Thats ridiculous sound! Have been playing with a basic lav mic outside this month. Love the nature sounds in the park I am recording in but not liking the other sounds that are not nature lovely. Adding this to dream list. Thanks Ray!

@RayOrtega 3 года назад

Thanks, Steph! In general, any lav mic used outdoors is going to pick up the environment. If you're looking for more rejection of background outside, you'd need a cardioid or even hypercardioid dynamic in order to pick up just what's in front but that said if there is background noise any mic will pick it up.

@@RayOrtega got it. it's tricky, isnt it. where I am testing it out now is a park close by with lake and duck sounds that I love having in the audio BUT then there is wind and traffic buzzing sometimes too. When I do my usual clean up (which is admittedly pretty basic still) it makes my voice sound super tinny and some car sounds like UFO sounds. lol. it would be funny if it werent so frustrating. lol.

Most built-in mics these days can do a decent job if you get close enough. All mics require good proximity to the mic to sound their best and it's often a combination of being close and the room that you are in that is going to affect the quality the most.

@derwinjax 3 года назад

I was looking for a video that offered a lot of information for someone like myself. I do a LOT of zoom meetings and I give a lot of speeches. I am definitely not trying to be a professional and my budget doesn’t allow me to spend a lot of money. So, this sounds like something for me. However, I do have a few questions: many videos I’ve seen before seeing yours advised that having headphones on is also a good idea. What do you say about that? If I have this on my tie, will I need to have or should I have a headset or earbud on too? Will this allow me to better hear how I sound or don’t bother? Also, if it’s a good idea to have one on, should it be a usb headset/earbuds too. I try not to look like a dj on the videos, so the less I have on the better. Thanks. Sorry for all of the questions.

@FindLiberty 3 года назад

You might mention changing the Zoom audio settings menu options required for musical performance. Zoom has amazing default voice processing that really clobbers music. Under "Advanced" there are noise and echo cancellation option boxes that must be turned off, otherwise if singing along with musical accompaniment, the voice will come through while the musical instrument(s) will be attacked/cancelled/removed as if it's identified to be undesirable background noise. It just ends up sounding like a nasty reverse karaoke effect. Even without singing or voice, a musical instrument performance will sound much better with those two voice processing options turned off.

@RayOrtega 3 года назад

Thanks, definitely something to keep in mind if producing music but in regards to this video the use case is specifically spoken word. And given who this mic is targeted at (people brand new to audio) the processing would actually benefit them until they learned more about how to work with audio and how to best treat their space to limit background noise. Thanks for watching!

@RayOrtega 3 года назад

Thanks! It's hard to say since I don't record a lot of music. With any mic, you want to get it close to the source. So this could work but yes wireless would be easier to use while playing. They have one with USBC that would work with Android amzn.to/3c32rOL and some wireless options

Thanks! I haven't tested the Go mic but I've seen a couple decent samples of it here. I think you'd be fine with either one. The lav mic can be closer to you and that usually produces better results but if the Go mic was close and you had a good space to record in, it would probably do well too and you wouldn't have to be tethered to the computer.

@computerjantje 2 года назад

The lavalier mic you hear in this video is I think a 2 US$ Aliexpress mic sold by another company and then the prices go up and they laugh their ears off. Best microphone is a real brand microphone from a company that would lose customers when playing with crappy mics. So for example better buy a Shure desk microphone or if you really want to, buy a Shure lavalier microphone. Or if you don't mind the view, a Shure or Dpa headset. In reality, the closer to your mouth, the better the sound. Well when the mic is good that is. Why do you want to hear your voice while recording or broadcasting? Are you a singer? I advice you to test and set the mic and levels with a headphone on. Then put the headphone away and start your recording. If you really need a reference just watch the visual audio levels either on your mixer or on your computer. But if you really need to hear yourself while broadcasting/recording then you should never use speakers in combination with a lavalier or other distant microphone. Also a headset microphone with a headphone is kind of asking for trouble (feedback). Just my two cents as a sound engineer for over 20 years.

@danmagoo 3 года назад

Thanks, Ray. I'm wondering, does this mic make noise if something rubs against or bumps the cable? I find that issue with the Fifine USB lav, but I'm not hearing that issue in your video. (Looking for something my wife can use while teaching, instead of a headset and without her having to learn mic technique as you discussed.)

@danmagoo 3 года назад

OK, I got this for my wife to use for her lecture, which was recorded by the host over Zoom, and it sounded fantastic. I do find this mic very sensitive (in Windows I have to set the gain to 50 per cent, unusual for a USB mic in Windows, and Zoom might automatically lower it to more like 25),. I find it would get a lot of ambient noise if used to record directly to a PC, but this is exactly the kind of airy "room noise" that Zoom suppresses very effective. So, I especially recommend this as a great solution for Zoom, or maybe other web meeting apps that handle noise similarly. Thanks again for posting this!

@crwhhx 3 года назад

Another question, if you use this lav for zoom calls, and use your computer speakers for audio output, is the mic going to pick up the sound from the speakers that are presumably right in front of you?

@RayOrtega 3 года назад

It's possible so you have to be mindful of how loud you set your speakers but Zoom does some echo canceling, as do most f the remote software solutions and it generally does a good job at holding speaker bleed off however the best setup is to have some sort of in-ear monitor and if you use something that is wireless like an airpod, you can keep the setup really clean for a great looking video.

@susanajurado3317 3 года назад

Is this mic compatible with DSLR?

@Underhills 2 года назад

The audio sound processed compared to other tests I've heard where the audio is less good. Is this a straight untouched sound output from the mic or is the signal compressor treated or anything like that? Anyways, can this mic be used with external speakers on in meetings or will it cause feedback, echo or anything like that? Thanks for sharing great content.

@RayOrtega 2 года назад

See the section at 5:00. Everything before that was not processed aka it was the raw mic. Then I process it for comparison. With speakers on, it's always going to be trial and error. If they are not too loud then you'll be fine but also apps like Zoom have decent feedback rejection algorithms, so again, you have to test to know how it will work in your setup but having the microphone close to you like a lav will greatly reduce the amount of gain you need and therefore it's less likely to feedback.

@JeffWaters1 3 года назад

Hi Ray. This is exactly the topic I'm looking to explore. I have a Plantronics wireless headset with pretty good mic sound. But, I'm getting tired of wearing it all day long. And, I kinda look like a dork with a headset on webcam. I have a Samson Q2U and can juuuuust get it out of the webcam view. Again, I don't want to be the dork with a microphone in front of my face during business meetings. But, honestly, it's just a tad too far away to provide great sound. I have some cheap $30 bluetooth earbuds that are working great in this setup for hearing other participants. They are the HSPro T15 and just work OOTB with my laptop bluetooth connection. Would a Rode VideoMic just outside the frame sound as good as my mouth 3 inches away from the Q2U?

@RayOrtega 3 года назад

I've been surprised with recent results I'm getting from people using the same mic or similar (ATR versions) and having it just out of shot. A Rode shotgun might have slightly more 'reach' caused of a tighter polar pattern but its' really hard to say. It really is just one of things you have to test in your own setup with your own voice. Wish I could say more but sadly often times it's experimenting with gear to get what you want cause every setup is so different.

@HeyYall398 Год назад

Thank you for the review, it was much appreciated!

@RayOrtega Год назад

Hi, Josh, this is not just for Zoom, it will work with most software that takes a USB microphone which is to say a device that takes a USB mic like any computer. As for working with the earbuds, I'm unsure. It will depend on if the software you are using lets you select the USB mic as your input and then the earbuds as your speaker. In a lot of cases like Zoom you should be able to do that.

does this block out sound from the background? sometimes i have to have meetings in public places and i need a small mic i can use thatll block out noise.

@RayOrtega 7 месяцев назад

Any time you get a mic as close as possible to your mouth, you will reduce the background noise because the level you need to turn it up will be less. However, most lav mics are also condenser mics and they will be more sensitive to all sound so in that way it does not block probably as much as you'd want. You'd either want a lav mic that is directional/dynamic or a USB one (example: podhelp.me/Q2Ublackzon) that is the same. But background noise, if present, will always be included in your audio. You might need to look into something like a gaming headset that has noise cancelation or sometimes the apps you use like Zoom have some processing that can reduce background noise.

@jamescps8799 2 года назад

Does it pick up speaker sound when other ppl talks? Do you need to mute it everytime when other ppl talks?

@RayOrtega 2 года назад

Depending on what app you are using, many of echo cancelation but also having the mic close to you means you don't have to have it gained so loud that the speakers will create an issue but anytime you're on a remote call, you should have earphones to prevent any bleed.

Is there any reason a unidirectional / cardioid lav mic would be a bad idea? I imagine it would be better at rejection surrounding noises?

@RayOrtega 3 года назад

They typically don't sound very good and just aren't very common in lav mics. You tend to lose a lot of the low end and get more plosives but I've used some nice ones by DPA which were pretty good. So yes, if you need the extra rejection it might be worth it, typically for me that would be in a really reverberant place with multiple people on mic.

Thanks, I mention it at 1:28 through about 1:50 when I talk about it being an omni directional condenser and how that will pick up more ambience than a dynamic aka if you have kid noise and that is leaking into your room, it's going to be heard easier than if you were on a dynamic mic but really the truth is background noise is just that, it gets in regardless, it will just get in a little less on a dynamic with a directional pattern like an SM7B/58 etc

@DanielScholtus 3 года назад

@@RayOrtega thanks! Still confused on the advantage of a lav vs other condenser like a blue jeti in which you can go "wireless". And I mean advantage, if any, in terms of noise of course; there're obviously a lot of differences in other aspects. Also don't dynamic mics need to be like an inch of your face to sound good? All reviews I've seen, as soon as they get a foot away sound it's all muffled.

@RayOrtega 3 года назад

@@DanielScholtus Someone would use a lav if they were more interested in the mic being out of the way or essentially not in the shot aka in your face on video. Or perhaps you have a guest who is not used to 'staying on mic.' and then a lav can be clipped to them so it's always in the same place or maybe you want them to kinda of forget that they are being recorded so they feel less stressed. For many who would be on Zoom for business, they may not want a big mic in the foreground of the shot/camera. In terms of noise, it won't be better because most of the time they have omni polar patterns which means it's open to all sides of the room. Whereas other condensers you can choose a cardioid pattern so the mic rejects more sound from the opposite side. Dynamic mics are usually used close but you get the proximity effect which is a build up of low frequencies and it will make the audio sound darker/richer but also more muffled so I think the best position is actually a few inches away however with a dynamic mic, an inch can literally make a difference so you have to be aware of your mic technique. The further the mic gets away from you, the thinner/less body/less presence you will hear which is the opposite of muffled. It will just sound weak and like the mic is not close to you. Hope that helps.
