Absolutely. He could have charged, and I would have paid to see this, but I’ll be back here often….because he didn’t. Thank you so much, this video helped me a LOT.🙏🏽💐
"Does that help?" YES!!! It does!! You have a perfect balance of articulate instruction mixed with friendliness and a great conversational teaching style. Thank you!
Mike's untreated room, sounds as good as most people's booths. I don't know what it is, but I think his voice must just have an additional ability ours doesn't. It auto EQ's to trigger ASMR, no matter what room he is in.
Thank you, thank you! You answered a worry I’ve had about my setup and taught me more useful information in 30 minutes than I’ve found in a month of research. Thank you!
Mr. Delgaudio your vids kill me. So concise, no bs and very easy to understand. Your work on these vids blows me away! Thank you for all the time, energy and passion that you pour into them!
That continuity mishap came out of left field and gave me a good belly laugh. It's really refreshing to find a good channel with someone who's genuine and not a sales personality on UA-cam. Thanks Mike!
setup with an explained type video? my, my, it must be our lucky day, it's hard to fine pros out there willing to share with us noobs without charging a pretty penny, you keep on making me realize why I sub to you, great video and over all great person, thanks for the info. I can see now why you're called Booth junkie, when it comes to your booth you might has well be very drunk with knowledge.
If your using a FETHead, or a Cloud lifter, Technically, it is best to have it as close to the microphone as possible. These pre-amps have a very high input impedance. That makes the cable between the mic and pre-amp more susceptible to noise. Especially electromagnetic noise. So keeping that cord short is best. In most cases it isn't an issue, But I'm an engineer, and I like things all prim and proper. Great Video!
i opened the replies to see if anyone didnt care about what kirb said at all, and just corrected the "your," and i was pleasantly surprised to see that people in the audio society are actually normal
Played acoustic guitar for years and always wanted a studio, but never had a clue how to use electronic/digital recording equip. Nice to get such clear information on basic #101 type stuff. A great help in my journey!
I've been working in bands and recording studios for decades and thought I knew all I needed to know... wow, was I wrong. Never too late to learn more. You videos are super helpful!!
I think this is really helpful for someone who understands how a lot of those things function and is learning to level up their at home setup, but it seems like a lot for someone just starting out for their first home studio and just wants to get started.
You are so good, Mike. Excellent information and delivered with the clarity and warmth and patience that anyone can benefit from. Now that VO work has been transported to creating home studios, this is so helpful and your manner is a warm and friendly one. I just wish you could come over and bring all the right stuff and set up a perfect little home studio in my spare bedroom. For a price of course. I know you really like the E-100s mic and was wondering why you chose the SHURE one that always needs a Cloudlifter. In the meantime, keep making these videos and posting them. So helpful. Thank you.
Mike.... You're the REAL MVP! I have enjoyed your videos for years. Thank you for all of your support and wealth of knowledge. I reference your videos religiously to friends and you have helped me love microphones!
Mike, one of your best productions.... thank you. The DBX 216s looks like a winner for only a few more bucks over a cloudlifter with added features. Paul
Thanks Mike and, yes, that totally helps. With all the Covid stuff going on right now I find that I am shifting into a virtual classroom for all my lectures, etc. I never thought I would learn about voice acting and/or streaming, but listening to your masterclass was painless.
Now, thats how a professional tutorial is done. Congrats Mike and thank you for your time and effort making these videos. I think that you not only have talent as a voice over actor... you are a great educator as well.
Just staring to get some equipment together to start podcasting. I've watched quite a few YT video but this is, by far, the most detailed, yet easy to understand, instructional video on this subject I've seen. Well put together and articulately explained throughout. Many thanks
All of your vides are easy to understand. I take notes and see what I need to do to get set up. Thank you for doing what you do here. It's really good.
Thank you so much for your help, I’m trying to get started up, your videos have really helped me. I’m looking at the E100SX for my first mic the interface it comes with will hopefully do for me temporarily. I have the voice and innumerable character voices ready to go and am hoping this will help provide for our little family, you’ve helped me to go from everyone telling me to do it to feeling able to do it. Thank you.
in the process - thanks for the tips - I know its easy to ask and a challenge to deliver, but an updated Reaper setup would be wonderful as the looks and placement of items has apparently moved since 2018
Booth Junkie content is eternally relevant, no matter how old the content is it always maintains relevancy due to just excellent descriptions. One of the most useful channels on UA-cam for voice over.
I want to thank you very much for this, you are an amazing teacher man! I am (as many of us are) in a bind for current work requirements to get a home studio set up immediately. I am having to rush order all of this equipment and had no idea the past few years how the sound tech works so am scrambling to your videos and others to learn what to buy and how to use it. This is a life saver! Hopefully I am purchasing the right stuff, I am trying to go for a whisperbooth (saw your video installing one) and I keep hearing about the mic Newman TLM1 03. I don't know what interface to buy so I will go with yours from this video I suppose, hopefully it all compliments each other. Its mainly for animation and commercial work. Keep doing what you are doing, well done!
Extremely helpful. You take the time to explain the small details that really make your tutorials very helpful for people completely new to the process.
As a voice artist myself with my own sound studio , I really appreciate Mikes videos , and the help that he offers to the newcomers to our profession . Well done Mike , I always enjoy your video's .
Mike, where have you been all my (short) voice over life?!? I've been looking for "how to" home studio set up videos for quite awhile. I've found some UA-cam videos but nothing like your details and visuals. I'm not technically savvy so your presentation was incredibly helpful! I look forward to seeing more of your videos. I'm feeling so much more confident. Thank you so much!
I just want to take a moment to say thank you so much for all the incredibly useful information that you so generously provide for all us newbies! I used to be a radio DJ years ago, but now I have recently become very interested in beginning a career in voiceover. It’s a different animal. It is so refreshing to see a veterans like you, be so willing to advance, share knowledge, and spread the art. I have been looking at all of your videos, and I must say, your down-to-earth demeanor and thorough explanations, make all of this so much easier. You make everything seem more doable. Now, I need to find a VO coach! Thank you for sharing, you have a new subscriber here.
Nothing short of superb! I appreciate your step-by-step approach. I'm very grateful for you taking the time and I will be utilizing the information that you shared hopefully towards my success! Gracias Senor!
I just want to say a big thanks, this channel is something of a god send. I've pondered getting into voice work for years (decades?) and have messed around on youtube with a little gaming channel using a basic headset in the past, but making the leap to anything approaching professional quality has always been a little intimidating. Well my headset mic finally broke a while back and another project I'm involved with is approaching the point of needing high quality voice narration and I figured I'd take a serious look at what I'd need to set myself up properly and finally have a real stab at it. Several days of mind bending research later I came across this channel. Needless to say it's still quite intimidating (Getting super paranoid about reaching an acceptable noise floor/acoustics in my nerd room/office) and frankly I'm still very much undecided about just what level I want to try to come in at, but your content has made a huge difference to my understanding of the tech and processes involved so, yeah. I now at least have a fairly good idea of what it is that I don't know. Now I just need to make a decision, buy the gear and try to record something amazing. Cheers again!
Thanks, that helped a lot, really appreciate it. That gave me a basic overview of the equipment and how to set them up. Thank you for showing the details, like the cable types, what the cable ends look like, and showing them plugging into the equipment, that made me feel comfortable that I was following all the little steps.
Another great tutorial. Love my Sony headphones. I've been using a version of them since my radio days. They aren't for everyone like you said because of the way they sit on your ears but for me that's comfortable. Great value for me.
I'm setting up both a desktop and laptop for recording instrument and vocals and found this very useful. The laptop is for portable use. I can see that an interface with a level indicator may be useful for a quick mic gain setup. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
We kids have 100s of things to learn from you :) much appreciation for every bit of effort you put to teach us so many things. Cheers and great setup btw :))
Great video Mike, and great help all round, may thanks . I bought some used kRK5 monitors, i wasn't sure why ! , i then started looking at Mics , still not knowing why ! , I then found your channel, with your unique way of reviewing mics and your absence of singing lessons got me intrigued , "what do you use your impressive rang of mics for" ? Your a voice Actor , and thats got to be for me one of the most unique job title i ever heard , hey at 62 , dyslexic , loosing my teeth , I am defiantly not a signer , Im too introvert and insecure to be an actor , but maybe my voice can still be heard , with a Mic , some speakers, and an interface or two , and a lot of help from you 🙏👌
Man this vid is awesome. I am pretty clueless on the audio side of animation. This is exactly what I needed. Straight to the point and informative that covers multiple points. Ty
Mike, thank you for that - and for the series! I'd always used internal sound cards and never really trusted USB due to throughput/latency issues; re-thinking that now thanks to you. I was a session-singer for years but since those days have "messed with" producing music myself - and have gotten quite a bit wrong.... Have produced three of my own audiobooks and, finally, am switching from Cakewalk Sonar (which I loved for music) to Reaper - at least for audiobooks. My first thought in building a new workstation - was to look for yet another internal card - but...hey, I won't be using MIDI on this machine...
Thank you so much! This was so helpful! One of my delays in setting up my booth is knowing what to do as far as equipment and how to set it up, etc. This was so easy to listen too and I believe will make it easy to implement. Thank you, thank you so much!
Great information ! Glad I can see this over and over ! As a non-tech person it is important for a beginner to see this ( including me ) Thank you ever so much !
About the Asio4all : before you install it, check if your Audio Interface already has it's own Asio Drivers. My interface has it's own drivers. And Asio4all can get really finicky
Awesome video!! Thank you. Just started setting up my home studio. Been out of the game a couple years and previously had worked primarily in studios. So watching you set up scratch helped answer a lot of questions.
Who do you think you are Mr. Delgaudio? Always with these videos.... these OMG videos. Spewing so much info that KICKS SO MUCH AUDIO A**! I really appreciate the work you do on these!
my first studio was in 1985 when everything still went with a tape recorder i was 14 years old then. now everything is much faster and easier with the pc, but then it was literally cut and paste and you needed a lot of external rack effects. now you have a lot of plugins, but then in those years you had no plugins
This masterclass by Mike has been brought to you by his kindness and expertise.
Thanks Mike
Yup
Absolutely. He could have charged, and I would have paid to see this, but I’ll be back here often….because he didn’t. Thank you so much, this video helped me a LOT.🙏🏽💐

"Does that help?" YES!!! It does!! You have a perfect balance of articulate instruction mixed with friendliness and a great conversational teaching style. Thank you!
Mike's untreated room, sounds as good as most people's booths. I don't know what it is, but I think his voice must just have an additional ability ours doesn't. It auto EQ's to trigger ASMR, no matter what room he is in.
Great video topic mike! Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
U should do one like him
So i can chose what is better for me
Like he is great but I don’t like his interface and it’s a little expensive
iiZlatanHD Just use this as a checklist. You don't have you use what he does.
Top ten greatest crossovers, my two favorite audio UA-camrs.
Eyad Moe he’s not telling you what to use , use what you want lol
I wish this video was made yesterday. I spent like an hour cleaning up my desk to make it less crowded. haha. Great video, Mike! I appreciate it.
oof size: LARGE
Thank you, thank you! You answered a worry I’ve had about my setup and taught me more useful information in 30 minutes than I’ve found in a month of research. Thank you!
Thanks Mike... your personable style, and your obvious expertise, make for a winning combo.
Five years after you uploaded this, and it is still incredibly useful. Thank you!
Mr. Delgaudio your vids kill me. So concise, no bs and very easy to understand. Your work on these vids blows me away! Thank you for all the time, energy and passion that you pour into them!
That continuity mishap came out of left field and gave me a good belly laugh. It's really refreshing to find a good channel with someone who's genuine and not a sales personality on UA-cam. Thanks Mike!

Great information Kirby. Thanks!
Can a FEThead be plugged in directly into the mic?
It is made to do that, there are limitations with the construction of some microphones. But, yes it ends up looking like a long XLR Connector.
Cool, thanks a lot!
i opened the replies to see if anyone didnt care about what kirb said at all, and just corrected the "your," and i was pleasantly surprised to see that people in the audio society are actually normal
Wow step by step and very well spoken. You broke everything down very simple. Ive been looking for a video like this, great video!

The voice quality in your videos is top-notch, I have visited so many channels, could't find this quality.
Thank you for your patience! Great stuff.
Instantly shared this with my crewmembers! You're golden Mike. Literally. Dunno how much money I've saved through your guidance.
Mike, one of your best productions.... thank you. The DBX 216s looks like a winner for only a few more bucks over a cloudlifter with added features. Paul
A hero we don't deserve! This guy's Videos are amazing, and so is his attitude. Thank you for the outstanding advice with all your videos, Mike!

I think that you not only have talent as a voice over actor... you are a great educator as well.
Mike, you may just be the best explainer on UA-cam. "Show and Tell" reaches a new level when you're involved!
Just staring to get some equipment together to start podcasting. I've watched quite a few YT video but this is, by far, the most detailed, yet easy to understand, instructional video on this subject I've seen. Well put together and articulately explained throughout. Many thanks
Thank you so much for this! I took a class on hooking up gear over a year ago and didn't get a chance to work on it until now. This helped so much!!
I've had a home studio for years, but I still learned a lot watching this. Love your attention to detail. Thanks!
All of your vides are easy to understand. I take notes and see what I need to do to get set up. Thank you for doing what you do here. It's really good.
I'm running a webradio, actually receiving my EV RE 320 today and your channel is a real gold mine for me Mike, thanks ! ^^
You have such a talent for explaining things clearly. Thank you, from the UK.
Thank you so much for your help, I’m trying to get started up, your videos have really helped me.
I’m looking at the E100SX for my first mic the interface it comes with will hopefully do for me temporarily.
I have the voice and innumerable character voices ready to go and am hoping this will help provide for our little family, you’ve helped me to go from everyone telling me to do it to feeling able to do it.

Yet again, I get to enjoy the wisdom of this Booth Guru. Thank you Mike for this lesson!

Dude, I´d listen tou you for 30 minutes, even if you were describing poop colors... Your voice is molten gold.

Thank you for showing the details, like the cable types, what the cable ends look like, and showing them plugging into the equipment, that made me feel comfortable that I was following all the little steps.
I thought I knew all this sort of stuff. But no, you have gently and thoroughly taught me a great deal . Many thanks Mike.
I think you have the best audio of ANY channel I've seen on youtube in the past 10 years. Good job! Looking forward to watching more of your videos :)
thank you. I just started doing my own audiobooks and narrating them.
Thank you yet again!

Thanks so much for that info about the gain! I thought something was wrong with my mic or interface because I had to turn it a good 80% up
This is excellent. Thank you so much.

No amount of gear will ever give me the great voice that you have.
You covered almost everything, at least everything which I've ever think about and a little more. Thanks for Your work.

About the Asio4all : before you install it, check if your Audio Interface already has it's own Asio Drivers. My interface has it's own drivers.

This is how it is explained. Thanks
Great. Well done.

Hugely beneficial! So clear about the set up and heaps of helpful hints. Thank you!!
my first studio was in 1985 when everything still went with a tape recorder i was 14 years old then.
now everything is much faster and easier with the pc, but then it was literally cut and paste and you needed a lot of external rack effects. now you have a lot of plugins, but then in those years you had no plugins
Extremely helpful. Thank you!
This is what I was looking for. The best video on UA-cam on voice over studio setup. Thanks for your guidance
Super helpful, Mike! Thank you!
Mike. Superb instruction video as always. Thank you.
Smart guy. Incredible teacher.
I am not even building a studio and i still watched the whole video, Great work !
Awesome! This is exactly what I needed!
Thanks so much for this vid and all of your great content
