I forgot to mention, Lewitt DID send me this mic to review. This hasn't had an effect on my perception though, I've been a fan for years. Affiliate Links - Amazon: NT1: amzn.to/2NUoBJK LCT 440: amzn.to/3imNwRh Sweetwater: NT1: imp.i114863.net/oeaZVO
I've recently picked up 440 pure (and thank you for covering that mic, helped me a lot to actually decide to go 440 route), and dang i love that thing. Really nice tone and man was I impressed with room/background noise rejection it provides. I live right next to the road - and a pretty noisy one i must say - so i always avoided condensers due to them being really sensitive. But right now it sounds like I get more outside noise with my sm7b compared to lct 440 pure. Maybe it's just me, you know, "loving the new one better". But yeah, I would agree that shock mount is a little bit underperforming. So apart from living right next to the road, I live right above the subway line, so when train passes, I can hear it on recording, even though tapping on the stand or table doesn't get transferred to the recording. When it comes to pop filter, yeah, it could've been better, but I'm fine with trading a bit of effectiveness in favor of convenience and really slick looks :) So once again, thank you for your videos! Helps a lot!
Glad I'm not alone in my (very small) critiques of the mic! I'm also near a subway line, so rumble can sometimes get intense lol enjoy the mic my friend!!
I feel like the Lewitt would have been the winner in the guitar recording for it's detail, but there was a weird, distracting rumble. Do you notice it? Maybe it's to do with the shock mount issue you mentioned. On Ursula's voice the Rode, to my ears, sounded much more natural and flattering. The Lewitt was just too sibilant for her particular voice. It does sounds good on your voice, though. Good vid.
Thanks Timothy! The rumble would have been the environmental sounds, my room is not the greatest. To be fair, the Rode was put through the exact same situation though :)
I understand why you prefer it. I have a dark voice myself, more so with congestion. I don’t prefer how I sound on the sm7b because of it. I, too, preferred the re20 because it was brighter to me than the sm7b. When I’m congestion free, my voice, which is also deep, has a sort of razor sibilant edge to it. Congestion free is the only way I prefer the nt1 since it’s really just capturing reality. My perfect mic would be a mix between the mkh 416 and maybe the tlm 103. I like the sound of the 416 on my voice, congestion free or not, but I wish the self noise was lower like the 103 or the nt1 for precisely the reasons you explained. There’s also a clarity(a sort of emptiness I can’t quite explain) that I hear on my tlm 103 that I wish my 416 had. I was thinking about the 440 at one point when I was scooping up a few microphones, but I figured if I can’t make things work with what I have so far, the problem is me.
Nice! One day I'll check out the 103 and see if I agree, its a shame I haven't gotten a chance too quite yet. Same with the 416! That's a whole new realm of microphones I have yet to explore much :)
All the Lewitt's to me sound rough in the high frequencies more like a dynamic mic. The Rode NT1 wins out on both vocals and guitar for me. Try putting them up against the AT 4040.
For Voice the NT1 is a bit flat .... works for voice nice for Audio Books and of course vocals.... for Podcasts, Radio, Commercials you have to give it a bit on the top. If you would mix the tracks from Ursula you would have to DeEss it to make the Guitar not fall apart from the Voice - or put it through sth vintage like LA2A (just my opinion). Frequency Response of the Lewit looks similar to the NT1"a" The Neumann TLM102 is as well quite brittle when you get close, but many people like this Radio or Commercial sound. Here in Germany many Radio Stations went for the TLM102 and it sounds that they even don't use a DeEsser .... bassy and brittle like hell ... the sound changed in the last 10 years a lot even at the more conservative Stations which used to have u87s .... I would give the (black) RODE NT1 the status of "the" Volkswagen" of mics - in general you can't go wrong with it at all - and the price is outstanding for that what you get (+ 10 years Warranty + no sound change if you buy another one after some years -> like AKG loves to do it)
I think Lewitt handle eq better lot of people just base on sound but working with sound is different and Lewitt is better than the nt1. No offense to people opinion but cheap mic don’t take eq too well.
Hello again ! Not sure if you remember me but you were the videos I watched when deciding to get a sm57! I'm thinking of upgrading my sm57 to lewit, but not sure how lewit can handle in a very noisy room. Since even my sm57 noise still enters in (washing machine noise / heater noise etc.). Advice would be awesome thank you! Should I stick with sm57 or upgrade to lewit or is there any other mic recommendations for my situation. Thank you if you do respond!
Thanks a lot for this and your other videos! Very helpful and interesting. This got me way deeper into thinking about microphones than I initially planned to :-). A question about the high end of the Lewitt 440 - can it be tempered a bit with EQ? I mean it in the sense that the brightness can be brought towards the TLM microphones more? Or is it a type of harshness that will always remain inthe signal?
HOW IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS? >>> This Lewitt was the Mic i wanted (in conjunction with lewitt540S) but the overpoweringly loud low rumble in the background of the blind guitar tests strikes me as an utter AVOID ... urgh.... I genuinely wish someone could explain this away. I''ve scoured the comments section & while a few people heard it too, AudioHaze only suggests that both mics were recording in the same environment settings. Not great?
Here in my country is very difficult to buy microphones for a fair price... NT 1 Sweatwater price: US$ 269 for example. Let’s use the Big Mac combo as a currency. Wel in USA I have to buy 21 bigmacs, here in Brazil I have to pay 100 bigmacs! It is insane!!! Cheers!
What is the low rumble that is there everytime you use the Lewitt? Is it the bad shockmount? Its hard to compare those two when there is such a loud 50Hz rumble.
Exactly. I knew i wasn't the only one hearing it. Can't believe it hasn't been picked up in the comment section or video? There is a very loud low rumble in the guitar section. Did you hear it elsewhere too? Concerning since this was the mic i thought i wanted.
The Lewitt sounds like a winner. However, the one thing I noticed (and the singer mentions this) is that the dynamics aren't as strong. Almost like the Lewitt has compression built-in.
I’m with you and went with the Lewitt myself. Comparable mics from great companies. You bring something fresh to this space on RU-vid. Love your Channel.
Thanks a lot, man! I'm about to buy my first "good" mic, and I've been checking out a lot of your videos, they really helped. I've been jumping from the AT2035 to Rode's NT1 and NT1a, to really liking the LCT 440. I think this video was what I needed to finally make a decision. I'm going with the LCT 440. It seems to fit perfectly with my circumstances: I have a low-mid baritone voice (not quite as deep as yours), and no acoustic treatment where I'll be mostly recording. And in my country there's a considerable price difference, the NT1 is at least 70.000 ARS while you can get an LCT 440 for 57.000 ARS.
Hey @axelmont, how's your experience with 440 ?! Even I'm planning to buy a condenser mic and I record in an untreated room too. I'm glad to know review on this one!
I like how the lewitt rejects the room in the singing test.. and I think that makes it easier to eq in a mix than the nt1. Can’t wait for mine to arrive..
The Lewitt was way too boomy on the guitar with some weird background noise. On vocals the lewitt was a bit too bright and plosive (needs a better pop filter). I think the NT1 was better. NT1 would require less post processing in the final mix. I would do probably a high pass and low pass roll off on the lewitt plus some mid high freq tweaking, as with the rode NT1 I would just do a little bit of tweaking as it sounded pretty good out of the gate. I think the NT1 wins for her voice and guitar, based off the highly compressed youtube audio and using AKG k371 and k361 headphones. Great video and much appreciated.
I really like the sound of the 440 but I’m concerned about the lack of noise rejection. You can definitely hear a lot of background noise, especially noticeable in the blind guitar tracks. Is that something fixable in post with something like Adobe Audition?
As you can see from my channel, I have songs I recorded with mxl 990 but my voice is in a dark tone. I want to switch to Lewitt 440, but will its brightness turn out the darkness in my voice? And what kind of change would it be, I wonder if it's worth it? What is your suggestion, the reason why I chose lewitt catches my eye in more modernist works.
Thanks for another great vid! Both the NT1 and 440 Pure are wonderful mics. You may or may not remember, in your review of the Neumann TLM 102, I commented that I owned the NT1 and was interested in either the TLM 102 or 103. One thing I neglected to mention, was I also own a 440 Pure. I had convinced myself that I slightly preferred the NT1 on my voice. Anyhow… mildly interesting story… I did end up buying the TLM 103. It’s a beautiful mic and I loved it. HOWEVER… just for kicks, I put it up against the 440 on my voice. Put the capsules right next to each other and then recorded both at the same time. I did this on two different songs, in a fairly well-treated room. Results? On one song, I, ever so slightly preferred the 103. But, on the other, I clearly preferred the 440. It sat in the mix effortlessly, without eq. Long story short.. while I still think the 103 is wonderful, I returned it and am now using the 440 most of the time. One other perhaps interesting thing… on the one song that I slightly preferred the 103 on, I tried some simple eq to see if I could get close to the 103 sound. I boosted approx 3db around 100hz and cut approx 3db around 4K. I then set up Ableton to easily A/B them and closed my eyes while doing so. Basically, I couldn’t tell the difference between them. I even guessed wrong a couple of times. I learned so much from this experience. Thanks again for the great vids!
That’s amazing to hear!! We live in an absolutely wonderful time to be recording, microphones have the price can outclass industry giants. Lots of people like to say the golden age of recording is over, examples like this show we’re 100% in a recording renaissance
His well explained theory helped me understand his point and draw my personal concussions, definitely one of the best RU-vidr on this kind of thing,I have had the incredible privilege to come across! Became a subscriber & fan , about four days ago,never regretted it, with any video watch.I love descriptive converters. questions rarely even come up!😪👏🏾
That NT1 frequency graph is off. It is nowhere near that flat in the high end. Rode has the data sheet for it online and it rises starting at 4 kHz and boosts to about 3 db at about 6 kHz and up to 5 db at 10 kHz. That fake graph (which you correctly doubted) barely shows 1-2 db deviation from flat. Pretty much no microphone is that flat. Every major microphone manufacturer has the proper information for download on their website so please check that before putting up any erroneous data that thousands of people who watch you videos may think is correct. You did say you were doubtful it was accurate but you put that same fake graph up again later in the video next to the correct 440 Pure graph. Edit: The video was good and informative besides that mistake btw just to be clear so thanks.
Idk tbh im not an expert but nt1 seems better to mixxing and engeeniring when it comes to music production and the lewwit is there too but i prefer it more as a voice over or gaming stereo type
can you do a side by side comparison of the background noise rejection of both mics , by level matching both the outputs- since both mics have different sensitivity. i really want to look at the noise floor and see how much background noise the lewitt rejects in comparison to the nt1. i am thinking of buying a lewitt by selling my nt1 for this reason. can you help?
Great review! I tend to prefer the more neutral less bright mics. I wouldn't say that I like dark mics persay (the sm7b seems quite dark to the point of being bland to me), but I definitely enjoyed the nt1 more on your voice (although they're both FANTASTIC mics and I love that you go with what you love instead of what the crowd loves). But for music I liked the Lewitt better on her voice because of that added air. That's what I love about audio so much, it's so subjective and there are so many offerings that we can all find what we love! Would you ever consider reviewing the rode procaster? I'm curious what you think about it, especially compared to the sm7b and the re20.
Definitely! Its such a subjective thing, beyond some spec measurements its all about finding the right mic for your voice, almost like a wand from harry potter or something lol and I will definitely try the procaster at some point! All in due time, so much to check out haha
Both are very good microphones for the price but NT1 sounds better to me - LCT is too bright to the point where it sounds almost artificial. NT1 is more balanced with mids and top.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Try sE x1S (i suggest this one for first) or/and sE2200 next time. Something tells me you'll find a new favorite mic :)
It's quite noticeable the Lweitt LCT 440 really makes the mid-low frequency darker, and the high frequency brighter. This makes NT1 sounds very neural and flat indeed. For guitar, NT1 sounds more spacious for bass, the Lewitt seems a hair thinner.
I know I'm gonna get hate mail after saying this but to my ears the NT1 sounded muddy on your voice and quite boring. The Lewitt sounded perfectly balanced for your voice. Very tempted to get the Lewitt, as my voice is like Sinatra meets Chris Rea.
omg dude I dont' know whats doin' here, but I like watching you talking about mics as you actually talk into the one you are talking about while simultaneously explaining the mic you are mixed with!!!!!!
My friend, are there any professional grade lapel mics for voice over and podcasts? Due to my Autism I walk a lot while I talk and my work doesn’t mind post processing. Thanks.
Unfortunately I'm not super knowledgeable about lapel mics! I'm more in the world of studio and live mics. There are plenty of handheld microphones that I can recommend. I suppose the biggest thing would be low handling noise.
Using a pair of dt 900 pro x’s and it’s interesting how it plays into the strengths of the 440 pure. The dt 900s are quite dark and you hear every last detail if the room something was recorded in, so when the song at the end started it was always immediately obvious to me which mic was which, even though I was kind of just letting the video play in the background while doing something else. (I already have a 440, no beed to convince me it’s good xD) It was such a huge difference I was actually surprised enough to write this comment. The main difference to me really is the room rejection, the 440 just handles that so incredibly well. Great review as always!
How do you get such good audio through these condenser mics without any room or ambient noise ? Are these mics good at rejecting surrounding noise or have you treated the room where you are recording & you also EQ to sound so good during post production ? I want to buy this Lewitt based on your feedback but my room is next to a busy street. btw, I love your videos.
Thank you! Useful video, and nice and good song and singer! What do you think about the 441 flex? Asking to Lewitt, they say that the 441 is more balanced compared to the 440 with less top end. I remember that you preferred the nt1 to the 441 flex. Do you think the same today?
Unfortunately its been quite a long time since I was able to use the 441 Flex, but from what I remember the sound profile was pretty similar, I remember both being noticeably pretty bright, but in a really pleasing way.
@@AudioHaze Thank you! Do you think the 440 pure is better than the NT1 in a not treated environment? What do you think about the Aston Spirit compared to the Lewitt, both about vocals and behavior in a not treated room?
modern vs vintage Vocals and guitar were recorded using LCT440 & Rode NT1 Rode NT1 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UEnGk5BeRgo.html LCT440 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B7P-ApFk5QY.html
Lewitt has a lot more floor noise or hum. RODE is noticeably quieter and brighter. For me I would have to go with the rode because of this. Things get too noisy when you have a couple of tracks recorded with the Lewitt. I had this problem with the shure sm7b. Thanks for the vid man!
The ride NT1A has been extremely unreliable to me, I bought it from new it barely lasted 2 months, it say for 6months because I was sick of it. I sent it off for warranty repair to rode, it came back and stopped working AGAIN! I’m not the only one too. I bought an at2020 I haven’t looked back since
had a few mics just got nt1 for 207 love how it sounds on my voice being 20 voice not fully dropped yet i can decifer if i want a warm sounding mic or brighter mic started with neewer usb to at2020 to sterling159 to nt1 next mic def a nueman lol the nt1 does job well need more time with it this will help me decide u87 or tlm 103 u87 is warmer side tlm brighter so.
I think the NT1 was better during the singing test, but I think that's due to the lack of a pop filter. However, I also liked it better for the guitaring. The Lewitt sounded a bit harsh. My ears must work differently, because the results I heard werw the opposite of what you described. Also, I didn't hear background noise in either mic.
man, despite the self noise declared by the companies, what do you think? I compared a Rode NT1 5th with a Lewitt 040 small and the Lewitt has no noise, the Rode has
LCT 440 is an incredible mic for the money. Anyone who doesn't know much about this stuff and just wants a fantastic sound for minimal fuss should grab one. I spent countless hours/days/weeks/months messing around with other mics for voiceover, ranging from a Yeti (which sounded like ass) to an SM57 (which sounded very good but had a hundred finnicky drawbacks like picking up hum and needing excessive gain and complicated EQing... and still at the end of all that didn't sound nearly as natural as the 440). Bought a 440, spent about 10 mins applying the simplest of EQ and some expander to catch mouth noise and breathing, spoke 30 deg off axis (but still centered on the mic's polar pattern) to avoid plosives and take a bit of the edge off... amazing results. Easy and done. This is what mics should be but so rarely are unless you spend thousands. Can't recommend it enough. The only down side is that the mount and pop filter now appear to be plastic, not metal. But at this price I'm amazed they were ever not plastic.
I am just starting out in voiceovers and have an Electrovoice EV 320 and use SONY 7506. I feel like I might be better off with a Rode NT1 or Lewett Pure 440.
No, no No hell no. I do not own a Rode of any kind. The NT1000 works better for instruments than the NT1 having listened to both in the same room. But no. No NOo no, Hell no. But thank you for the instruction and information.
Man! Love your videos! Just what I needed! Definitely gonna go for Lewitt. Also been looking at the AKG C214. Glad you mentioned it in this comparison. Will that be possible for you to make a video comparing the Lewitt 440 to the AKG C214? Would help a lot. I am considering one of these from a Singers' point of view with also some guitar recording sessions from an untreated room. Thanks a lot!
I would love to! I would just have to get my hands on that microphone to shoot with. I could ask AKG if they'd want to lend one, but with a company that large in all likelihood I'd have to buy one myself, which will take some time.
Hi there. Thanks for the reviews and sharing. If you get the chance to review a Sontronics STC-2 - STC-3X or the SCT-20 please do. I think it is another microphone that you would like. They have a beautiful sound and even balance with that slight lift, similar to the Lewitt LCT440 that you like for your voice. They are not overly expensive either ranging from $250 to $330. The most popular model is the SCT-2 at around $300, which has a high pass filter and -10dB pad. The SCT-3 adds 3 polar patterns. The cheapest one is the SCT-20 which has no filter or pad. Apart from that it sounds as good as the other models as it has the same capsule and components. TBH I get on well enough with mics that have no switching at all like my TLM103. PS. I am not affiliated with Sontronics in any way. I have just recently purchased 2 of their microphones. The SCT-2 and SCT-3X. I am amazed at the sound and build quality for the asking price. They are also really beautiful in a retro kind of way. Sontronics are still using through hole boards with top quality components. I prefer the through hole circuit boards as they are easy to repair when a component goes out of value and are easily modify if needed. Not that I would modify one. They sound great as they are. The SMD boards that most are switching to are a real pain to work on. I noticed that the Rode NT2A mics that I got a little while ago have SMD circuit boards. I don't know when they changed to SMD for their lower end mics, but I wish they hadn't.
May I be so bold to ask a question? Watching videos I noticed John Lennon used to double mic for effect eg two mics on one stand. Similar to double micing a guitar cab. I got to thinking: if you wanted to mix a dark and bright mic to cover a large range; what would you use? Could be dynamic, conderser, tube or a mix. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
For someone with a very deep voice i'm currently using a Shure SM7B but it can get a bit too bad for my voice. What microphone would you recommend for me? Would a Lewitt LCT 440 Pure be a good choice?
All great but wish you were the one singing. I clicked on the video because i was looking for a male singers comparison with a lower voice similar to mine which you have and you were talking about how you prefer the lewitt for your voice and continued to have a higher pitch voice singer sing into it. Not that they are bad but it would be nice to have both
English is very nice for testing microphones as sibilants are not pronounced that much, with some other languages the microphone shows its nasty sides easily. But it can be heard here, Lewitt is so much more sibilant when she sings although it sounds great when you speak.
alot of ppl on youtube try to make their voice real bassy, which is annoying sounding. I was just thinking that your voice isn't annoying like most audio channel's are. But then you switched to the rode, and it was bassier and starting to get annoying. So good call on the Lewitt!
You have a really down to earth unpretentious channel, and I like your direct presentation style. I also think your comparisons hit the right spot - well timed, and the blind comparisons with the reveal afterwards are effective. I''ve come to the conclusion, where possible, one should save up for a few really good microphones, which are : 1. Well manufactured - i.e do not have quality issues with significant variances from one microphone to another, and 2. Which avoid resonances in - in the case of the NT1 - I think it has this in the sibilance area. 3. This final criteria is hard to describe cos no one is talking about it. I'll use the word "resolution", i.e speed of response of the diaphragm, from soft to loud. Some microphones sound like they have already been compressed - e.g dynamic microphones, which is a sound of its own, but I think with the kind of digital and analog tools at our disposal, I'd prefer a microphone that has a more accurate resolution, or what some would call an impulse response, which is more true to the input. My thinking is that all kinds of components in the amplification, affect the slew rate. Creatively for some sources like voices, some microphones, especially the vintage kind, add harmonics, probably some hysteresis, almost like a doubling of the source - with a miniscule delay, making it all thick and gooie (liek gummed up), which flatters certain sources, depending on what you have in mind. So I think microphones should clearly belong in one camp or the other - e.g tube mics, like the U47, and TLM's like the TML 103, each with their own signature. For most beginners/hobbyists, we will not be able to afford and maintain a high quality tube microphone, so one interesting line of education would be - what kind of processing can one add digitally, to emulate that smoothness, to add that tube or transformer goodness to a transformerless/non tube(valve) microphone? You may want to explore this in one of your videos. I think it would have a lot of traction. In this comparison the 440 pure just seemed like a more consistent microphone. I own the original NT1, (bought between 2002 and 2004) which unfortunately seems to have stopped working, very sad, cos I probably only used it on 4 or 5 occasions. I'll see if it can be repaired - i.e find out what has gone wrong with it - cos I'd rather not have to spend on another microphone. And if I did have to spend on another microphone, my suspicion is that the NT1 has had a phenomenal ride, but clearly Rode is running out of ideas, there is not much that they can do to improve it, and they do not have anything much better in their line up. The NT1 is their cash cow. To have to have been forced to cut the price of the NT1 signature edition, to about $160, tells me that there is now real competition, to the NT1. My gut feeling is that in technology, we have to accept, sometimes the newer stuff is better because they have had more time to think about their designs, and more time to source better components, and thinking about manufacturing and design technology gets better over time. Long and short, the NT1 design has had its day, time for us to become more adventorous, try new things. The reality also is - for those who become more serious with this craft, we will end up with several microphones, and for each recording application, end up trying out more than one microphone, and over time have preferences as experience grows. So its never - one or the other. For the hobbyist who is only going to have one microphone - sure - just get an NT1, or Lewitt 240 - basically any decent microphone from any of the major manufacturers, in the $80 to $180 price range, and it will be good enough, subject to post recording EQ. Where I think the more expensive microphones like the Neumann U87 have an advantage is that post recording, they have less excessive resonances, and need less "reshaping" in the mix to fix obvious sonic anomalies - but of course you pay for the privilege. Definitely we are in a golden era of recording where within $300 - one can get highly respectable microphones with acceptable recording quality. I still feel however that there is this "graininess" I hear on all RU-vid vocal comparisons with condenser microphones, and wonder, do we need more accurate capsules to capture the human voice. But I think also that maybe these microphones are intended for recording with a bit more distance between the source and the capsule, than what most RU-vidrs adhere to. I hear this graininess in both cheap and expensive microphones, when voices are recorded, but not so with guitar recordings. Could be just me !, but this observation is consistent across so many RU-vid vocal/microphone comparisons, on RU-vid, and I cannot seem to get it out of my mind and wonder why is this so.
Hey man, just a bit of feedback - I know your heater is a perpetual issue, so it would help a lot of you had a highpassed version of the comparisons. I can immediately tell the 440 in a blind test just because of the rumble. Hard to get an objective idea of the difference when there's that neon sign saying "this is the lewitt"
You should try and find a mxl 990. Nice boosted high end. It's fantastic on acoustic guitar if you can get it in the right neck position. Would love to see an episode on the mic and comparisons. Thankyou for all the great content so far 😁
To me they sound like theyre on the same "quality" level. The Lewitt doesnt sound better it ist just clorser to my preferences. The Rode sounds like something I would like to use an equalizer on but has a very solid base.
Have you thought of comparing the AKG C214 vs the Lewitt? I watched some vids but no full comparisons here and I liked the AKG a little better. But its more extreme in that bright direction thats why I chose the NT1 now cuz i feel like it will be more versatile.
Great video. The artist is beautiful (both in terms of voice and appearance). And her comments about the mics seem so spot on! I'm pretty torn between these mics. Lewitt is 10€ cheaper. Both sound great. NT1 a bit punchier and more balanced perhaps. LCT440 more detailed, bright, clear. I'm not sure if my voice needs more oomph in the low-mid frequencies or rather mid-high. I guess my voice is a pretty avg male voice, maybe on the lower side but quite mid-range. I definitely don't want to go too extreme in either direction. I don't want that super warm broadcaster sound. Both of these seem balanced *enough*. I was also looking at a SE V7 previously, a dynamic. But the thought of the mic being too quiet and having to be super close to it (with high gain as well) turns me off. I don't think background noise is THAT big of an issue. At least for me with a fairly quiet home/neighbourhood. Untreated. I mostly use my microphone for voice chatting and speech/VO/streaming type stuff. Not a recording musician even though I love music. So yeah. Dilemma 😂.
I heard the Lewit have a rumble The nt1 didn't i like the Rode way better because its more flat and the lewit is too bright even though the s is not as strong a de esser can fix it
Different mics suit different voices. So true. I own Lewitt 440 flex and my sound engineer told me it suits my voice so well. Wouldn't think twice to get another 440, whatever "edition". ....And thanks for the 'poop' :D (I love this kind of humour!)
I had a scarlett studio setup, i want to upgrade now. I mostly record vocals and guitar and i am still very much confused between these 2 mics. I dont know which one to get.
AWESOME comparison. Thank you! Were these mics plugged straight into a recording device, or did they go through any processing first? An equalizer or anything? Thanks!
