    Can someone tell me how this setup (with the shotgun) compares to using a good on camera (3,5mm) microphone with it's own power? For example compared to the likes of Rode Videomic NTG, Diety D3pro, Sennheiser mke400, Rode Videomic pro+...

    • @JoelK
      @JoelK 14 днів тому

      Hi. Two reasons - mics and preamps. Shotgun mics from Rode etc are great for general use. Specialised shotgun mics from different makers, condensor mics used for recording, or capsule mics from Zoom are higher quality and capture sound differently. Preamps: plugging a 3.5mm videomic into your camera means the camera preamp is processing your audio. Many DSLRs have ok to average preamps that colour the sound/ introduce noise. Many cinema cameras have dedicated XLR inputs and high quality preamps that capture great audio (think Canon C300 etc).

    • @JoelK

      Zoom and other external recorders are often used to capture audio and sync later for footage from cameras/several cameras. As mentioned in my review, the Q8 is a rubbish camera but a versatile external recorder, much like the H6 etc

    I think the most obvious difference can be heard in the mandolin and guitar recordings. There's more clarity and the transients seem more snappy; the Focusrite has a slightly veiled and smeared sound in comparison. The acoustic guitar recording seems to exhibit more low end girth with the RNP. I couldn't hear too obvious differences with the spoken or sung samples, so it seems that the main differences really lie in the lower and upper parts of the frequency range.

  • @CrazoidMetal
    @CrazoidMetal 20 днів тому

    I have both these units aswell and must say firstly, good video. I think your original conclusion is spot on.. I hear virtually no difference either. I was going to record my guitar tracks with the RNP but after doing a similar test that you’ve done here, I just plugged straight into the Scarlett instead. I think anyone that says they hear an improvement from the RNP over Scarlett has a very active imagination and are bound to their preconceived ideas and bias regarding other factors involved here (branding/populism/expectation) An interesting way to have done this video would be a blind test.. see if the folk that say they prefer the RNP would be able to pick which one is which..

    Great video, I have a PR30 as well, to me, it sounds like the mix of a good ribbon mic and a 57. I'm getting tones of compliment from sound guys when I'm using it live on my guitar amp, smooth tone that sits perfectly in the mix.

    Great video!! Thanks for the info. Do you think the Pro-70 would sound decent in a resonator banjo for a small band situation? I tried a Gold tone ABS banjo mic today. I clips to the outside and bends over the head, but had a lot of feedback probs, even at low volume without a band. I'd bought a Gold Tone SMP + ( magnetic / wound coil pickup that attaches to the rod inside ) but it just does NOT sound like a banjo anymore. PS: Great to come across a fellow Aussie banjo Player. Not many of us around.

      Hey mate There’s a few of us around :) For a resonator you could try a K&K under bridge style transducer. You get more of that piezo ‘thwack’ at the front of the note but they’re pretty great at feedback suppression (much better than an internal mic).

    My RNP was sitting in a drawer for years, I got it out today since I got a new mic Warm Audio WA-8000. Running through an SSL usb audio interface with legacy 4K. I wasn’t even in my booth and could tell the signal was a lot thicker than the SSL built in preamp. Definitely need to isolate the sound recording in an acoustically treated environment. And turn up the gain will really be able to tell the difference then. The built in preamp on the usb audio interface was clean but sounded thin. Definitely some warmth going through it. I’d keep it. Next level preamps cost much much more.

    I really enjoyed this video, thanks for taking the time to talk through the different Mic options. Also enjoyed the relaxed and informal nature to it....easier to take in the info. :D I play banjo in a band most weekends often with minimal space so feedback (when we need to be loud) can be an issue interns of my proximity to the FOH. Therefore we use EIM as there is no need to add fuel to that fire so to speak. From your video I was drawn to the Audio Technica Pro 70 option as a mic offers so much more than a transducer/ pickup in my opinion....as you explained we don't hear the banjo like that so it would need some manipulation (roll off the low end). I've just bought a Gold Tone CC 50 RP which has a closed back ...Id like to use the Audio Technica Pro 70 option but have no idea how that will impact the sound. My instincts tell me there will be more low end as it can't really escape due to the closed back. With that info, whats your thoughts? lastly what do you think of transducers like the K&K Banjo Twin for example? Thank you in advance, really appreciate any insight. :)

    • @JoelK
      @JoelK Рік тому

      Hey mate Interesting you bring this up. I just joined a fairly loud blues/country band, where they want me to occasionally play banjo. With an easy 100db level (including bass and drums), there’s no way a mic, whether out front, or my AT Pro70 rig, would cut it. K&K mini would be superior, even if you’re loosing the tone of the banjo. When I had a K&K dual mini on my first Deering, I would always run it through a Boss EQ7 pedal, both to boost level (passive transducer), and shape the tone to be closer to what it is acoustically. I suspect if you use something higher end, like an LR Baggs DI with EQ, you could get further. Maybe I’ll get one installed on my 6 string banjo and do a follow up vid? Otherwise, let me know how you go

Of course I wasn’t out in the audience to know how it sounded exactly, but from how it sounded in the (professional quality) video taken of the performance, I think I’ll have to pick up one of these for use with my banjo (probably the more compact PR31) for home studio and possibly live use.
