    Great video! You'll get a lot more subs for sure I just hope you figure out a smoother way of switching mics because it's the wonkiest thing I've ever seen 🤣

    the dm500 one actually sounds clearer than the sm58. what about boya dm500 vs se v7? great review btw :)

    Great review! I'd imagine this would sound more bassy/broadcasty compared to Rode Pod mic. Do make a comparison video comparing this to other $100 mics!

    Sounds better without the windscreen. I think it's a solid dynamic microphone.
    I bought mine for $60 on sale.

      That’s a great deal! I totally agree about the windscreen, although I found with my voice, I’d get a lot of plosives.

      Instead use a pop filter :)

    What Adudio Interface is need? My Boya DM500's gain level is very low... with ( Behringer UM2 )...

    • @randyrektor
      @randyrektor  Рік тому +1

      Interesting, I didn’t have that problem at all. Make sure your interface is set to mic, not line or instrument. That may help!

    sm58, or 57 are small and muddy. This Boya sounds good, maybe even better than AT2040, but as you say 700hz honk on the 2040, and that could be cut with eq. Sounds better than sm7b

    are you using the raw audio of the mic in the video?

    • @randyrektor
      @randyrektor  Рік тому +1

      I believe I had a low cut set at around 80Hz and a small amount of compression to help with consistent levels. I normalized to -6dB. One of the challenges of microphone reviews on UA-cam. Your video needs to be normalized or UA-cam will do it in processing. That said, it’s pretty minimal.

      It would sound just about the same, slightly quieter though.
