    This is the best video I've seen so far explaining the polar patherns a Mic can have. The 3D figures shown to demonstrate the polar patherns (Cardiod, Figure 8 & Omni) are the best part. Congratulations!!!

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the way to demonstrated the different patterns visually as you stepped around the mic.
    I had no idea how to make sense of polar patterns (another new term I learned today) up until today because I was shopping around for a new headset/mic combo for streaming. (Before y'all say it, this is just one step. I'm ultimately buying a better headset and standalone mic a few months after this one.)
    I had no idea what directions the graph was showing me for the headset and it almost made me think it picked up in a totally incorrect direction.
    Thank you for this awesome video!

    You know, I built a iso booth for my vocal mic work and I also use a c414 but I've always set it on cardioid - but hell Omni sounds way fuller! With the iso booth you don't need to worry about bleed anyways so I think I'm going to switch to omni. I think it would be awesome for a male vocal baritone like me. Thanks so much for this!

  • @accidentals_hacks
    @accidentals_hacks 3 роки тому

    thanks for the explanation! very very helpful! Do you have videos where you show how to mic instruments with these patterns? For vocals I find figure 8 to be the best with a vocal booth/shield. Somehow it sounds very nice and rich.

  • @selfmademusician1420
    @selfmademusician1420 5 років тому +3

    I wish you would have gone a little more Into WHY you might use these different patterns, but it was still a very informative vid. In a lower end bedroom studio, I would probably want a cardiod mic for vocals to get the least amount of room noise?

    Come to think of the omnidirectional pattern, it'll be great for drum overheads-I could capture some of the room.

    I has asked this question one the guitar YT channel & was told to ask Victor the question here. Are the Earthworks Mics good for recording guitar cabs? I don't know the model off hand but it's in the $499-599 price range US Dollars. Thank's in advance.

    • @RecordeoOfficial
      @RecordeoOfficial  5 років тому +2

      Hey, thanks for your question! Yes, the Earthworks SR25 is a great mic for electric cabs and acoustic guitars. With electric guitar however, I'm generally addind in a condenser mic like the Earthworks SR25 in conjunction with my "main" guitar cab mic, which is usually either an SM57, R-121, MD-421, or 409.

    What microphones would you recommend to record 360-degree sound without using an ambisonic microphone? There will be four 360-degree cameras and motorbikes will ride around the cameras. I thought of using four rode ntg3 mics, but they are too directional, or two octal mics.
