    Quite a comprehensive and well-laid out test! Wanted to know if there's an issue with recording vocals when an instrument is playing alongside. I feel the mic distorts the sound of vocals if guitar is playin alongside.

    Which stand could be used with these boya microphones? Would it fit on a conventional microphone stand? Another thing is that I'm using boya mm1 to record voice and an acoustic guitar but the volume gets a little bit low, how to improve or increase its volume?

    Hello! This is informative! How do you control and adjust the gain on this mic? Do you do it on the computer - if so, what program do you need to use to do this? Is it a native Boya app? or is it in an editing program like Davinci Resolve?

    • @enjoyplanet9559
      @enjoyplanet9559 Місяць тому +2

      the mic doesn't have any buttons, settings or a native boya software, so he was setting the gain from the camera or the editing software on his Mac, i had this mic, I've used it with smartphone and i got used with the sound and it's just average, i used it with the pc using a usb sound card and it gave me even worse sound, I've sold it to a friend for a cheap price and im thinking of buying a lavalier mic for better sound gaining because the mic would be on my neck, i advice you to buy the boya M1 or any lavalier mic if you just gonna film inside your room

      @earlmalaki  3 роки тому +2

      will need an adapter. boom mic arm thread is bigger than the mic mount (which is a standard tripod bolt). in my case, i bought a 5/8" 27 female to 1/4" 20 male adapter, threaded it to an adapter that came with the boom arm, then the mic on the other end. hope that helps!

    • @earlmalaki
      @earlmalaki  3 роки тому

      gain-wise, yep! if you're buying mainly for pc use, you might be better off with a short-range mic. shotgun mics like the mm1 have a long-range pickup pattern and thus will pick up sound from a distance (e.g. noise behind your back, room noise, dogs barking, etc).

    I just bought this and is having issues on my Sony A7III. Even at the lowest level setting (one step above mute) the input level is way too high and will easily peak.
    Also the shock mount does absolutely nothing to absorb any noise from lens AF or hands touching the camera. It's just a stiff piece of plastic.
