I was considering getting a condenser but now I'm not sure and it's almost 3 am. Thanks for making this . I really wanna get into voice acting but I got an accent
@AntonBrowne I've been pondering this exact question, When recording in a non-professionally treated room, why not use a good quality stage condenser mic to take most of the room out of the equation when compressing? It seems like a smart choice but no-one seems to talk about it. What are your thoughts?
Maybe people don't think stage condensers are up to the quality, and maybe the internal foam pop screen - designed for stage - takes away more detail than a studio screen. However, I find the Earthworks SR314 a fine studio mic. The trouble with an un-treated room is that if you get loud, I think you will be able to hear the room, even if the mic is cardioid/supercardioid. Best to try it out, I think.
@@AntonBrowne Perhaps that's the reason. The loss of detail. Although any dynamic mic will also have significantly less detail than a condenser (ie the popular SM-7B). When it comes to the room, that's my experience too. You don't even have to get loud. Just stand a few feet away from the mic and you start to hear more "room" in the recording. That sweet spot of 5-7" (or closer if you want to use the proximity effect) is very real.
@@aTouchoClass I don’t own a stage condenser. I was asking the question to see if it might make sense to get one. I presently have a large diaphragm condenser.
Very informative video as always, thank you Anton

i have the KSM8 and i feel like it needs EQ to make it sound livelier
I beg you to compare the Beyer TGX80 to any world's best mic

@@2010CrazycanuckSo what about using the stage condenser without the cap and an external pop filter?

Don't get me wrong🙏🙏🙏 just waiting for the comparison shure KMS9 Beta 87 let alone shure nexadyne 8 and of course new sennheiser md 435/445!
I think it's a crime to do a review on this matter without dpa dfacto
