    Personally I think the pre sonus got the most balance frequency response from what Im hearing from the raw. None of these mics are bad as long as they got enough lows from 40hz and highs till 15 khz at minimum. Overall all mics are great and I dont think you can go wrong ( for a budget mic) . Keep up the great content my guy! Always a fan of the mic comparisons 🔥🔥

    • @EdwardSmithMusic
      @EdwardSmithMusic  Рік тому +4

      Thank you for also watching and supporting the channel!! The Presonus sounds good, but I just saw that they removed the $50 promotion price to $70... so unfortunately it's not under $50 anymore like the rest.

    • @skorpers
      @skorpers 6 місяців тому +1

      No one even has voice information at 40 hz so it really doesn't matter. There's a reason why live mic often only respond and 50 hz and higher. 15Khz is also pretty arbitrary.
      Voices often cut off long before then.

    • @mdnvisualz
      @mdnvisualz 4 місяці тому

      Correct I'm currently using the presonus M7 and it's definitely better than th USB Blu yetti mic I used to record I'd say I'll probably upgrade to a neumann condenser mic in the near future probably either the tlm49 or 103

  • @accountmann
    @accountmann 8 місяців тому +9

    For me I think C1 gives the most notes out of your voice which you can adjust according to your taste later. But a bit harsh. 2nd best is Martin and Presonus M7 , but it dulls a bit and other microphones just take the most of your voice notes

    I would love to see an updated version of this video if it’s not too soon! These mics are all suprisingly good and it’s cool to see mics that often miss out on the spotlight due to their cheap pricing points

    • @skorpers
      @skorpers 6 місяців тому

      Mics don't really change. We get better for cheaper that's about it.
      The MPM-1000 for example is significantly better than the AT2020, despite being significantly cheaper and including accessories.
      The mics in this video, such as the C-1 and MPM-1000 are extremely close to what's physically possible for microphone quality.
      Going a little higher to something like a V67G for more than double the price doesn't improve your audio quality.

    Did you use the scarlett solo to record those vocals? I have a Behringer C-3, which I believe is the exact same as the C-1 but with more control, and I have the scarlett solo. I have an issue with noise, but it didn't seem like you had the same issue with your setup. Did you maybe eliminate some of it when mixing?

    My ranking: 1-Tascam, 2-Marantz, 3-Mackie, 4-Presonus, 5-Behringer.
    My feelings and opinions: Many people like Behringer because of its bright sound, but in fact Tascam is the most pertinent. It is easy to adjust the brightness on the computer, but if you want to suppress the excessive bright sound, it is easy to affect the sound quality.

    I think the Presonus M7 is the best sounding microphone from this list. The Behringer C1 sounded to sharp in my opinion and all the other microphones sounded too muddy. But of course all of that can be fixed with some EQ, but I just think the Presonus M7 has the best sound quality.

      Don’t be too hasty with the self-noise dismissals. The AT2020 is a very popular budget mic and it has a self noise of 20dB. While I’m not a fan of this mic, Billie Eilish recorded Ocean Eyes with it and that turned out okay. The MXL 770 is also 20dB. The AT4050, quite a respected mic, has self noise of 17dB. I have a tube mic I’ve recorded thousands of TV and radio spots on, the original Rode Classic. It’s the same mic Thom Yorke used for some of the songs on OK Computer. I just checked the spec sheet and its noise is 32dB.
