    The way u individually tested each mic (naturally and with singing vocals) is a sign of greatness in your craftsmanship.

    For anyone that buys the Zoom iq7, I was reading the manual and discovered that there is a black case adjuster near the male lightning connector. If you take it off, it fits with some cases. PS 3:34 you can sing 👏🏿 If that’s an actual song that’s out, I want it

    Thank you.I think the sound characteristic of shure mic is the same as their headphone,which adds some warmth to music.Audigo mic is undoubtedly the best in this video,it shows more detail and better dynamic,and I will go for Zoom IQ7 personally cause the price is more "reasonable",although it's a litter over bugdet.

    I need phone lavs but stereo so I can separate the two tracks. They seem to all record onto one channel. So limiting in post. I need to separate the two speakers to be able to edit them individually. Do you know of any? It seems to be a receiver problem. I’m fine if it’s combined into one stereo track as long as I can separate the left and right track from each other and it’s actually recorded left and right - not record everything “equally” and then just panned to each side.

  • @gair1944
    @gair1944 8 днів тому

    Fantastic comparison. Some caveats: I really liked the sound of the Shure MV88, but if I wanted to do video at the same time I'm not sure I would get the proper directionality with the Video orientation along with how the mic position is placed. Maybe I'm wrong in that regard? The Audigo looks like the best alternative to do video with Audio and get higher quality audio with the Video being placed wherever needed while the Audigo mic can be stand mounted away from the iPhone video.

  • @MackDaddyVic

  • @rockinggator969

    Nice Video. Too bad there is no USB-C version of the Shure that attaches directly to the phone, so we are stuck with iPhone 14 or older. Anyone know of a usb-c mic that plugs right into the phone? There is a Rodes but it is plagued with issues and the audio quality isn't very good. Would love to find something!

      I discovered the Saramonic MTV11. Not to be confused with their original "Mini." It's plug-n-play like the Zoom stereo mic, but sounds suprisingly rich in comparison, with less background his. To be honest, it think the quality competes with the Sure-88, and at half the cost. (Just mentioning this mic as an option).

What mic -under $150- would you recommend that’s going to pick up that all-important bass line best?

    • @PatrickBreenMusic
      @PatrickBreenMusic  Рік тому

      Hey! For that use I'd recommend the Audigo. I feel that mic does a better job or recording multiple instruments at once. I also like how the Audigo mic will place recorded instruments within the stereo field based on where they are recorded in proximity to the microphone (front, left, right, back). I can imagine you could get some really beautiful sounding recordings of your string quartet.
      Oh, and wireless is just so much nicer. You put the mic on a mic stand, press record remotely from your phone. It's nice!
