This microphone offers great value for money. Although there is a lot of competition on the market, this price is unbeatable. This microphone is ideal for switching from a USB mic to an XLR setup with the goal of capturing clear vocal recordings. The quality is on par with the big boys, but at a more affordable price; in terms of quality, this mic gets a solid 9 out of 10. Do you want to take it to the next level and get a perfect score? At the very least, expect to pay $700 for the Neumann TLM 102. br>br>Plus, it includes a shock mount, which is worth $80 on its own. Take it a step further by having Amazon Harmony make a phone call to you. I saved another year 2015%. After all is said and done, a mic of this caliber and a shock mount for less than $150 brand new, tax included? It's impossible to find a better deal.
I used to work in a decent studio producing analog electronic music many years ago. This time, I had to record some voiceovers for an iPhone application. I was on the verge of purchasing a Blue Yeti Blue Radius shock mount to finish the job. However, read on to learn how analog combined with a good digitizing preamp yields better results. As a result, I chose the AT2035br>br>In addition to the AT2035, I purchased the followingbr> preamp: .
Work on the audio is now complete. Recently, it's been difficult to find good condenser mics because so many people have been reviewing these "budget" mics for various podcast or YouTube/Twitch uses, and while they've been pleased with the results, would those same budget mics work well in a small production studio? Unlike social media, I'm looking for something that, when used in a properly conditioned room, captures a neutral response, has plenty of headroom, and has minimal coloration. br>br>With this mic, I'm able to say YES to everything. For the money, this provides a very neutral color with little blemish where it counts, which is ideal for most midrange instruments and vocalists. In fact, when compared to other mics in the studio, I prefer this one for baritone-style vocals. The clarity appeals to alto singers. On the high end, there is a slight drop in response (well outside most applications), but the other mics are for that. br>br>When compared to mics that cost a few hundred dollars more, this one performs admirably, and for a mid-range price, it's a steal. I believe it provides a great sound for the money, whether it's for vocals or instruments. In comparison to other mics, I wouldn't use this for higher frequency instruments or things like bird calls. But, if you don't have a choice (and many people don't), this mic would deliver very professional results for a very low price, and I'm planning on picking up another one soon.
It's been about 5 months since I got this mic. It's paired with my Behringer U-100 amplifier. UMC22 PHORIA PHORIA PHORIA PHORIA PHORIA PHORIA For those who aren't familiar with non-linear audio, it requires phantom power and an XLR cable. Microphones that connect to your computer via USB If you want to use it with your computer, you'll need an XLR to USB interface, such as a mixer or preamp, or something like the Blue Icicle. I purchased this microphone because I needed a larger diaphragm microphone with directional capture, and I trust Audio-Technica. Technica. I genuinely love this mic because of the frequency range, the warmth it gives my voice, and how natural it can sound with the right proximity and mic settings. To get it to sound the way you want it to, you'll need to adjust your preamp/mixer settings as well as your OS mic sensitivity settings. But when you do, it sounds incredible. I keep my microphone under my chin, about six inches from my mouth, and pointed straight up. This prevents my breaths from going into the mic, plosives are almost nonexistent, and it captures a more natural frequency of my voice because it is far enough away, but not far away In addition, I use a 15:1 compressor, - 17 dB of noise reduction and a noise gate of around - 40dB. br>Because I'm picky about my microphone audio, I've spent a lot of time researching, testing, and tweaking to figure out how to use this mic to its full potential. In general, unless you know what you're doing, no good microphone will sound its best. br>With that said, I can't recommend this mic to anyone who isn't familiar with basic audio setup/engineering or who is simply looking for a plug-and-play microphone. br>However, if you're willing to invest the time to learn how audio works, or if you already know and want a better mic than what you have now (like I did before getting this one), I can highly recommend this one.
