    I don't like it in the shot. I didn't think the audio was bad before. I think it just gets in the way.

  • @trevormorgan9084
    @trevormorgan9084 Місяць тому +23

    Right off the bat, I can say that I never had an issue with the way the audio was before. I always heard you, always understood you. Don't listen to the audiophiles. Not everybody needs a meticulous audio setup like Joe from Game Sack. The way it was was perfectly fine. That being said, the audio through this new microphone is really good. I have no issue with the current setup or sound quality in this particular video, I just don't think it's entirely necessary compared to the way it was before is really what it comes down to.

  • @randommoosebrains
    @randommoosebrains Місяць тому +19

    I prefer the old setup. That said for podcasts I could see this being a thing. Maybe not on these or your other room videos. It’s not a bad mic! But I will defer to the original setup…

  • @FreeToBet
    @FreeToBet Місяць тому +5

    been watching you for more than 10 years now and never ever thought about audio quality
    I dunno why but the introduction of a microphone to increase audio quality after having the same setup for over a decade is really funny for me in like a dry humor, parody sort of way
    Love your stuff man. Most consistent guy on this site

    The audio sounds excellent with that mic, Adam, and it reminds me of the podcasts, which I appreciate since it shows the quality consistency in that brand's mics. So long as the boom arm isn't too obtrusive for you, I welcome this new 'Mic-ed Adam' era!

  • @Wheels8504
    @Wheels8504 Місяць тому +2

    Great pickups as always Adam. I didn't have an issue with the audio previously to the mic. But I also don't have an issue with the mic either. Although in my opinion you were a lot louder with the older audio. With the mic you're more muffled or I guess quiet somehow. I can still hear you though so again I'm happy either way. Take care.

  • @DoctorMinjinx

    Audio has never been an issue ever. i even like the old school video games with just bleeps & bloop noises. Where they had so much game they couldn't put in a proper audio sound track for the game. Funny that you put in a Master System game as i've just picked up a Master Gear Converter that would convert your Sega Game Gear to play Master System games! But i use it for my Analogue Pocket that it fits & works to play Master System Games on the Go! That is my next collection to start is all the games Brazil has on the Master System!

    sounds great, turn off the RGB, organize the cable and we gucci. One thing tho, this mic is good for a setting where you really do not move around, this is Playload so you are moving around, opening, cutting and stuff so the volume changes a lot.

  • @enigma6482

  • @Cal-bp5zg

    the mic quality is obviously improved, but the tone has a certain "harshness" to it now. in a weird way, the reverb on the old setup had a nice "smoothing" effect. you could look into how to adjust voice recordings with an EQ to reduce harshness

  • @MetalGreggNY75

  • @xboxnissan
    @xboxnissan Місяць тому

    Great audio, maybe I'd recommend what I'm doing which is to use a stand (something like the MS7701) so that even if you bang the desk it won't go through the mic. Or, shotgun mic above your head out of (camera) frame is what people usually do on UA-cam. Last resort sound panels but it's kinda expensive unless you DIY..
    In any cases, as a headphone user that perceives echo easily (from former videos), thanks for the effort :)

    I think the audio problem was a thing however it never really bothered me, but it wasn't fixed in the correct way, as IMO the problem was the acoustics in the room (the "echo" and reverb) and not the quality of the audio itself as I personally thought it was fine, the mic is fine but I prefer the old setup

    I've been using Eneloop (Panasonic brand) rechargeable lithium AA and AAA batteries for years now. As an Xbox enjoyer, it's nice knowing I don't have to keep buying batteries, I just have a fresh set ready to go and put the last pair on the charger. Bought a set of 16 AAs and haven't had a single pair fully die or be noticeably unable to hold a decent charge yet.

    The audio is very crisp now, sounds great actually but I’m with a lot of people on here. Not a fan of if in the shot. If there’s a way you could position it above the shot or maybe switch to a boom mic or something, it’d work much better!

  • @_longgaming
    @_longgaming Місяць тому

    Great pickups. I’ve been watching you since 2015 and honestly don’t have a problem with the audio. I will say though, with the mic it sounds less “roomy”, as in, picking up less of echo in the room. The mic is not a distraction to me.
    If you feel like you are sacrificing desk space and is getting in the way of the “show and tell”, I would then make B rolls more prominent.
    Some channels like Review Tech USA and Spawnwave sort of do a hybrid like what I’m suggesting. When you are talking, have the shot of mostly you and maybe some stuff on the table, but when you go to actually show the item, cut to a different camera (B roll). You are actually sort of doing it now, but if you keep the desk mic maybe do that style even more.
    If you really want to keep that show and tell style, then just use a lapel/lavalier mic, give you all the room to get everything in the shot.
    But honestly, your content is great either way.

  • @tonybossaller4074
    @tonybossaller4074 Місяць тому

    Ever since my Xbox 360, I have used rechargeables. With my One X, I switched over to EBL. They do make an Xbox specific battery pack too. Their batteries do work but I have noticed I only get about 2 years before the cells are just dead. (And I do have a conditioner/charger to verify.) So figure you’ll probably need to replace the eight batteries after a year or so.
    As for the Mic, I did like the better quality though the RGB was a bit distracting. But sounded good.

  • @Cimone90
    @Cimone90 Місяць тому

    The audio is better. Maybe you could arrang the arm and placement of the mic in a less intrusive way. But yeah the audio is better. Maybe Tonor has a lapel mic, that would be even better.

  • @georgeewing2993
    @georgeewing2993 Місяць тому

    I prefer the open shot without the mic. Have been subscribed forever and the audio's fine. Not having a mic is kinda unique to your channel and one of the many non utuber type things that has always set you apart. Luv that mad portable Master Systme.

  • @teddiejl
    @teddiejl Місяць тому

  • @Eliterubberduck
    @Eliterubberduck Місяць тому

    For PlayLoad I'd prefer the old audio setup. You move around a lot so the audio kind of comes in and out depending on your distance from the mic. It might not be a bad setup for something like rare variants but the mic being in the shot may take away from the nice displays you arrange with the consoles, games, and controllers. There's also a Memorial Package version (different cover art) of Monster Hunter Frontier G on Wii U, but if Vid is as big of an aficionado as you say, I'm sure you've probably heard about it by now.

    Rush 2049 is a great game, but I do prefer the N64 version, which has better music tracks. You'd think the DC version would sound better, but the it was outsourced and the music tracks were sent as mp3 files, which corrupted on their way to the porting studio. So the DC port's music files are cut down, and don't sound all that great.

  • @XTHHedgehog

    I kinda like the mic honestly. It sounds a lot like the FigureItOutCast (hopefully the name is right). It kinda uniforms your sound between the live and pre-recorded stuff. I do very much agree that the boom arm looks like way too much.

  • @G.G.___162
    @G.G.___162 Місяць тому

    So I mean yeah, the audio is definitely better with the mic; but like others have pointed out, I don't think it really needs to be better than it was.
    It's always been just fine.
    Plus yeah it is kinda distracting, especially after over 10 years of it not being there lol.
    So I dk; if anything, I would suggest one of those clip on mics that clips onto your shirt.
    But between the mic in this video, and no mic: I dk, I could go either way really, but I guess I would say old style with no mic.

    Exept the rgb lights, i kinda dig the added sound quality and i (personally) don't mind the boom. Also, rf pal to rf ntsc is no big issue to convert and it doesn't require expensive circury i used to play Magnavox oddsey 2 back in the 80s with a converter (philips video pac was much more expensive for some odd reason it was cheaper to import), i am pretty much sure they're much better now.

    The audio is WAY better with the mic(the only “bad” things about you videos in the past was the “echo audio”) so I support you having a separate audio recording device, but wouldn’t it be better to have something smaller like a clip on lavender microphone or a Røde wireless GO mic? Way better audio than your old setup, and it’s not “in the way” like this setup. I have the Røde myself(you can see it in a couple of my previous videos) and it is a practical and technical game changer for video production. 👌🏼😉😇
