I think the reason the box was thrown so hard was because we didn't include enough stickers. Don't worry, we'll make up for it next time 😉 But great review! Thanks for checking out the NT-USB Mini!
THIS was THE mic review and test i was waiting for. Those tests compared to other models is sooo helpful not just for this but for all others to compare. Thank you man.
Wow, I've watched a lot reviews and comparsions for microphones on RU-vid. But this one was one of the most detailed and satisfying ones I've ever seen. Good work and keep it up!
@@Podcastage *RODE NT USB mini vs Razer Siren Mini, which should I pick for youtube singing/music videos.* (I don't have too much base in my voice, but I still want them for sounding melodious, and I have quite good mid-range and some thin high pitch, which many mics don't handle well and sound harsh don't want to sound nasaly either. So what would be your suggestion for a budget good quality natural sounding USB mic ?) Please can you reply, I rely on you. And this's gonna be my first microphone. 😊😇
The COMPARISON section is FANTASTIC. The VideoMic NTG and G Track Pro were my favourite. Thank you Bandrew for being so awesome, your videos have helped me a lot over the years and I'm glad you finally blew up LOL.
Now THIS is what I call a review! I've been recommending NT-USB Mini to people as one of the great starter mics for live streaming and now I have a video to link with my recommendation. Still trying to find a dynamic, perhaps super cardioid, USB mic to recommend for those who have acoustically untreated rooms or Cherry MX Blues.. :)
Since I buy microphones based solely on the packaging so that my purchasing decision isn't distracted by how they sound, I'm primarily interested in reviews about mic boxes - can you do a comparison of them that evaluates their qualities along with close mic'ing of how the boxes sound when striking the wall and floor?
i had to pay a bit extra for my samson Q2U, had to get it shipped from the states to the u.k, and is STILL the top microphone for me, so under rated and punches above its price range... smashing more expensive brands.
Dude this is the best review I’ve watched on this mic. You’ve really covered everything I want and need to know. I’m sold on this mic. Thank you for your well thought out video.
This was far more interesting than I expected, primarily because of the desktop-mounted testing. For a brief second there, I thought "oh it's got a little magnetic stand, cool." But I hadn't even thought of how useless that is until you demonstrated it. Not only is the sound rather bad, the desk noise comes through loud and clear as does the keyboard. I'm actually sitting here wondering what they even thought the point of that stand is, considering it's nowhere near tall enough to be at all useful.
I think this video should be longer. We need a cinematic variant! RODE NT-USB MIC REVIEW -- END GAME!! GREAT WORK, super comprehensive and all the little segments are so cool! KILLER JOB!
OMG this is the most practical test/review of almost all the RU-vid that I have seen!! (I certainly spent way too much on RU-vid reviews lol) Love all the practical test, knock the arm, blue switch, etc.. and all the comparisons with different mic. awesome job. subscribed instantly:)
I was just looking for the specified model you have here but you including to all these similar USB/Podcasting type mics and other comparable mics was sooooo helpful. Thank you so much doing this very exhaustive comparison. This is what I really needed. Thanks again!
Great job! I actually found out about that mic from your Twitter account. You even compared it with AT2020! (unfortunately not the USB version, but apparently they're close enough) Thanks to you I might consider buying this mic
Finding the perfect mic is very difficult. What are you currently using? What do you not like about the microphone you’re currently using? What would you like your next microphone to improve upon? What do you want the mic to sound like?
@@Podcastage I'm using a generic mic neewer 800, my room aren't treated, I live in a front of a main Street. My actual mic capt a lot of echo and noise. I just want a mic that can solve that.. I will use the mic around of 10cm of distance. I eventually do colaborations in my channel. . so i need the others functions.. I think the yeti X is good but then I meet the Samson G track pro and I am so confused haaha. thank you four you patience!
@@elkoalah sounds like you would be better off with a dynamic mic than a condensor, unless you are considering getting your room treated, my knowledge isnt anywhere near bandrews but if youre looking for a budget option, the Behringer Ultravoice XM8500 is a great choice. The samson Q2U is even better but more expensive.
An added bonus to this and a few other Rode USB mics is a pretty good audio software that comes with it. Really simplifies a lot of podcasting kind of stuff.
hi, have you got issues with distorted audio when Noise Gate is selected on the Rode Connect software? Everything else is very good with this mic. I use it when I can't be bothered with my Rodecaster. But that noise gate makes my audio choppy for some reason. Already tested 2 Mac computers and still the same result. I only added the Noise Gate in Garageband.
I watched the whole video just so that the channel can get full watch time otherwise 3 minutes within the review I was already sold. Already ordered mine for my first podcast.👍🏽👍🏽
Someone needs to put together a compilation of all your guitar/vocals test sections! Always my favourite part of your videos!! Great vid as always my friend! 👍😁
If only more reviews of all tech products were this thorough with heir approach for designing review content for us viewers. He even told us about the gain button which acts as a button as well. no other reviewer covered. just saying he is awesome :)
I watched this video maybe more than 20 times. And went to some other guys reviewing the same product and went back here. I bought ATR 2100x from your review and now still considering buying this Rode or maybe its mother the bigger one. Greetings from Indonesia. Your performance is awesome.
Massive kudos for such a thorough comparison. So it sounds pretty damn good, slightly dissapointed, though not very surprised that the audio isn't quite as good as the RODE NT USB. But it's good for the price (so long as you put it on a mic arm)
My pleasure Beanie. Thanks for checking it out. I do think above the $100 price point there are some nicer sounding options, and then when you look at XLR, there are a lot more options that I think would be a better option.
Thanks a lot for your reviews. As to your question, I currently use Samson Q2U as my mics for podcasting and it just fits everything I need for recording and producing heavy conversations in ordinary space.
The Samson G-Track pro was a different sound , it caught my attention. The Audio Technica At2020 is real nice. i been useing for 5 years now and still making the extra cash with it. Great vlog.
This is an awesome review! really appreciate showing the difference of the mics, it was very helpful for like us who are looking for good mics out there to start on podcasting :)
This should be the standard on how microphone reviews should work! With that said, Im so happy I got the Rode NT-USB when it came out. The price and quality still holds up! =)
Never watched any of your videos before and just happened to check this out. I think I got to around 14 minutes before I checked to see how long I had been watching, meaning, I was entertained for 75%+. Well done and thanks for the comparison of the 50 mics, haha.
Idea for video. There is only one review on Sennheiser E614 on youtube, and it sounds exactly as NT1, while boomed above head. This blowed my mind.and.I ordered one. Hope will see such a comparison on this channel. Pencil mics seems great for untreated room, better than gun mics with their interferance tube.
I just love when you throw the boxes on every microphone review, but this box throw was the best in my opinion, so aggressive and hilarious, *those damn boxes*
a positive of the mic: it works with Rode Connect, Rode Unify, and Rode Reporter...so Connect and Unify software has compression and eq settings for the mic. The software is a pretty cool podcast mixing/recording/ streaming software.
those lyrics! will certainly not be a problem unless people get to minute 12:25 and understand the 'reptile' point of view: LOL! Bravo for your review, very professional and fun at the same time. Has helped me decide what to choose. Thanks, Podcastage!
barely send any reviews on videos whatsoever. But your approach is awesome. Thanks for the content :) Format helps to understand the implications on the product and compare it to other offers.
This is an excessively useful video. Thank you SO much for every example (close/far, keyboards, mount options, yada yada) ... Thorough and appreciated job.
Awesome review. Loved the extended test of different mics. The XLR sounded best - not a surprise. But I'm looking for a Live Webinar USB Mic and I think it would be a good choice. The sound of the Blue Yeti is maybe a little better to me. And I was surprised about the good sound of the Rode Videomic. Don't know if that would be a good choice for Live Webinars. The second function I'd love if it's easy to use with an iPad Pro. My future USB Mic should be good for those two purposes
Really appreciate how in-depth and honest this review was. I think this a very good step for usb microphones and for those who just wants a simple setup. The fact that this is powered through usb-c that this will be a good traveling microphone if all your other devices are type-c. Out of curiosity.... have you tried using a type-c to type-c cable? Since some laptops only have a type-c port and if there is any differences.
