MY vote at the end was the NT1-A as well - I am a bit partial to condenser mics on harsh vocals! But they all sound excellent, only subtle differences really ! 🎤 Be the first to join my new vocal coaching program: voicehacks.co 🎤 💻 Learn to Scream with me - Book Lessons on Zoom here: voicehacksllc.simplybook.me 🎧 Listen to The Voicehacks Podcast: voicehackspodcast.com

What type of mic boom do you use for the NT1

@eternalwizard776 4 года назад

The NT2-A and NT1-A where the two I liked best for the majority of the screams. I may have liked the NT2 slightly more tho...I’ll have to listen again lol

@eternalwizard776 4 года назад

Nope...on second listen the NT1-A was better!!!

@RickBomhof 2 года назад

thank you for the video!

@tonymann848 4 года назад

Procaster seemed the best to me. It gets every little raw nuance and texture of your amazing voice! It's remarkable how consistent your voice is throughout this whole testing process!! I love that ! Amazing!

@mattpeters7057 4 года назад

NT2-A especially on the low frys

@neoplan6116 4 года назад

Nice idea to test this way and nice from Rode to do this! :D Place one overall for me for me is the Procaster, short followed by the NT-2A. The others have for me to many weaknesses with this "kind of use" in several points to be my choice. Best regards from Germany

@Xbuster6 4 года назад

What brand & model audio interface were you using?

@ollikivela2804 4 года назад

NT1-A and PodMic sounded really nice. I liked the clarity on the high end.

@TheMuffassis 4 года назад

Just now learning about mics and not having much background to go on, I still think the NT1-A was the most well rounded for the various ranges!

@metalmastermind 3 года назад

That Rode N2A sounded pretty awesome...and amazing vocals here!

@diegofernandeztrujillo2517 4 года назад

NT2-A all day every day. Procaster also sounded awesome, close 2nd!

@FilosofiaVermelha 3 года назад

I'm happy the NT1-A was the winner, it's the one I've been recording with lately

@hutchmusician 4 года назад

Any of the condensers. The response is just so much more vivid they make dynamics sound like you’re singing through a pillow. I’ve just started to use a Shure Beta 87a live after years of using my trusty Beta 58 and everything’s so much easier suddenly. The NT-1 for me was the best of these. As you say though, subtle differences, especially for harsh sounds.

@lorenabelizonbautista5242 4 года назад

NT1-A in my opinion was the best one in all kind of voices, thank you for trying them out for us!

@PaigeParanormalXP 4 года назад

NT1-A for sure! That was a great demo!

@fabiobuitrago2522 4 года назад

NT1-A is my favorite! sounds really good for the fry screams and lows

@TheBassManJeff 4 года назад

I listened to them all on my Harmon/Kardon Bluetooth speaker (best sound quality ever btw) and I say that the NT1-A sounds the best consistently through each vocal style. Not much air, and picks up all of your frequencies.

@Paperchasinjr Год назад

Does anyone know what would be the best option to go with cause I’m thinking of investing into my music since I’m not big artist right now I’m underground not a lot of ppl know me but I’m on my way there I’m just thinking of which mic to get bc I’m not sure I was thinking NT1 cause it sounds good or should I get the NT2

@timetoride6900 3 года назад

@sylvainsnake 4 года назад

@oldchannel1262 4 года назад

The NT1-A . Would love to have a microphone as I am starting to try to make my own music and I am vocalist but don’t I am in a tight spot when it comes to money.

@PatrickSilverRose 4 года назад

Definitely the NT1-A. It picked up a lot more sound and even though it seems like the type to be sensitive (can't think of a better word to use lol), it allows it to sound more clear since it picks things up so well. But that also means that everyone can hear it when you mess up lol.

@michaelcurtis5532 4 года назад

Probably have to agree with the masses and go with the NT1-A.

@kenobambino 4 года назад

After watching microphone videos all day i can honestly say the entire screaming portion has made me fall in love and i have now completely forgot why i was here in the first place... Thanks

@theoffering7000 4 года назад

NT2-A has my vote! Great clarity for the fry, while capturing the overtones very well to characterise your tone (: Thanks for sharing! (And the prize!) 😁

@Spencer_The_Cat 4 года назад

The NT1 was my fav (it seemed a tiny bit more crisp), but I liked all the NTs.

@Dirty-Viking-Audio 4 года назад

NT1-A for sure. Captures more of the highs and air which is easier to remove if needed rather than being too dark and trying to boost those areas. Set at fixed distance, pop shield, profit

@KindOldRaven 2 года назад

Tbh I'm surprised the condensers held up with more naturally distorted voices. I find they're rarely used for more extreme vocals, even in recording settings. But in this case I'd vote the NT1-A; as I see many others did as well.

@vincentweber1359 4 года назад

Really close between the NT1-A and the NT2-A, with a slight edge for the NT1-A. (But I have to admit that I might be biased towards this mic because that's the one I use.)

@wookie606 4 года назад

Just remember what pre-amp and processing you use can really make a mic shine. SM7 (The standard for harsh vocals) needs lot of love to get it to the stage where it sounds godly.

@Xbuster6 4 года назад

David Holmes what preamps and audio interface would you recommend?

@wookie606 4 года назад

@@Xbuster6 what mic are you using and what do you want sound wise?

@Xbuster6 4 года назад

@@wookie606 I am getting new mics, probably a few seen in this video. Mainly condensers and some dynamics too. In short, I am looking for good-studio-sounding-quality and would like to know what preamps and audio interface brands/models are best. As far as audio interfaces, and preamps, I am looking to record both vocals and percussion(drums) at home. I plan to get an audio interface that can thus handle atleast 10 microphones, so that I can mic my drumkit with multiple microphones. To my understanding, this produces a better sound for the drum recording. But I am wondering what Audio Interfaces, and preamps work best for this, and for vocals as well.

@wookie606 4 года назад

The Audient interfaces are really nice for just capturing mics cleanly. Some of the Art stuff is good too. Just make sure you get something clean which has phantom power if you want a condenser.

@richardbelanger2090 4 года назад

The first got more warm ...the 2nd it's to dry...my opigion...tkx for the demo

@trinzilla6697 4 года назад

The NT1-A. The NT2-A, as previously mentioned is a very close second. I feel like the NT1-A just picked up a little more.

@marlaslangelis323 4 года назад

@neilweir-smith8228 4 года назад

I would go NT1/NT1A for recording and the M2 for live.

@devon-crain 4 года назад

Really impressed with the M2. I wish I had made my purchase after this video came out. I bought a secondhand M1 a couple months ago. The M1 sounds really quiet compared to mine, like the gain is too far down maybe?

@voicehacks 4 года назад

Possibly I was having a little trouble adjusting the gain between the two because M1 is dynamic and M2 is a condenser so it is way hotter for sure

@nikosihvonen6727 4 года назад

NT1-A sounded pretty good to me!

@juhoikkala3875 4 года назад

Really close between the NT1-A and NT2-A. I'll go with the NT1-A.

@GTavares 3 года назад

Bleeeeaaaaahggg. You got me there. XD Great stuff.

@niclasvestman 4 года назад

Now that was an original and interesting test 😁👍 my pick: for studio NT2-a, has an insane amount of detail (even more so than the the NT1-a) while still maintaining the low frequency body. Wow, truely impressive! But for live, the M2 has an redicuolus amount of detail and clarity, almost on par with studio mics, while having superior handling and easy access to proximity effects (since being handheld), as well as having surprisingly good build in pop/plosive rejection. If there is a need for a mic that could possibly handle both use cases, Procaster might be a really good in between🤷‍♂️. For me, recording with the NT2-a, would be a dream. But I really like the M2 as a very close 2nd. I do find the test (part 2, high fry open) does favour mics without pop filter, as the closer distance makes for some nice proximity fullness. On the other hand the low folds open test favours mics with popfilters, as the exessive airflow completly over powers any internal air blocks. Anyway, thanks for a really cool test! 😎👍

@mattmommaerts 4 года назад

@roxnroll8050 4 года назад

That was a bit rough choosing between the NT1-A and NT2-A. Think the NT2-A nudged it out slightly.

@Omgosh1962 4 года назад

NT2-A seems to have the best clarity.

@lormill4851 4 года назад

It's hard to say. First time I heard the NT2-A I thought that was the winner for sure, but it sounds like it handles fry screams better than false chord screams. Maybe that's just my imagination. When it comes to false chord, I think the M2 handled it the best.

@ximontrespalacios1257 4 года назад

I'm liking the NT1 and NT1-A the most

@donepearce 4 года назад

NT1-A does it for me. Pop filter and back it away about a foot.

@martinherrera7991 4 года назад

The M2 is probably the best mic I've heard for live use, but overall I liked the NT2-A best

@Rykiniafan1 4 года назад

all the nt ones are good but the 2 seems to have a bit more lows which makes the screams sound a bit beefier to me. dont know if that means it adds something extra that isnt in the actual scream or if it is just a bit more accurate. so if those added lows are accurate than my vote is for the nt2-a. if they are added by the microphone id say the nt1-a is the best

@vontheevil 4 года назад

NT2-A is a tiny better in the lower end, NT1-A and NT2-A are very similar in the higher end

@damianbrimstone1656 4 года назад

@moondog50002000 4 года назад

NT2 a for studio

@w.b.t.127 4 года назад

My decision is based on the LOW Pitch Fry Vocal Cords Closed. M1 Dynamic Mic.

@Galacticat_ 4 года назад

NT1-A. NT2-A was nice as well.

@ianmartin2924 3 года назад

This wasn't a fair test. The Procaster, M1 and Podmic don't handle plosives well, and you didn't use a pop filter or wind sock with them, but the others had them. I think the Procaster may stand up well against the NT2A with one. Especially given its a competitor for the SM7B. NT1A has a hyped high freq that I dispise. M1 has poor handling noise. The Podmic may also need a gentle low end boost for it to compete, but it might even do that if it had some gentle processing.

@JordanReynolds 4 года назад

NT-1 and NT-2A are my faves. NT-2A being more full. If you want a more mobile mic, the M2 was great, just a bit too round on the low end at times. NT-1A was decent but it's got a cheaper, hollow, harsher sound. I've never been a fan of that mic, especially on female vocals. Their updated NT-1 (black model) sounds so much better!

@voicehacks 4 года назад

The M2 is super impressive for a handheld but I agree it wasn’t my fave (though great!) because I did find the lows a little “woofy”

@GUARD3EN 4 года назад

I personally like the NT2-A the best. The NT1-A was pretty good, but I thought the NT2-A sounded the most rounded. As far as I heard, the NT1-A had a little bit more upper highs out of all of them, but I thought it wasn't quite as full sounding as the NT2-A. I imagined it'd be easier to mix something coming from the NT2-A than the NT1-A. Like you mentioned in the comment though, it's a subtle difference. Nice screams!

@mfknsorcererproductions 4 года назад

Yeah I mean all of these were excellent across the board just more preference of what people like as far as color I think - for example I love the Procaster on my speaking voice so I am going to be using that + newly added pop filter for videos now

@@voicehacks That is true; all of these mics can sound good when used for the right application!
