I hope UA-cam is paying you!! Thank you for the insight

[@DarkenedCyrus]

Thanks!

[@TheMasterTMTheMaster1507]

Great video ! I thought I was tripping ! Around minute 12:40 I started noticing background noise like another voice in your room. But I actually hear your voice in the mic obviously and also the mic picking up the audio in the headphones 😂

[@DarkenedCyrus]

Ooof lol. I must be that old and the volume that loud or that mic is the best mic ever lol

[@LinuxRocks]

Hi, I just got a Fifine AM8 Microphone for Christmas and was wondering if you have any good adjustable mic stand suggestions ? Thanks in advance 🙂 Love the vids

[@Zynphii]

This video is a masterpiece. It’s criminal that you’re at 17k subs since I bought you had like 500k with the quality you provide.
You did answer my other question about the cloudlifter on a different video but as I mentioned, I’m currently using the Scarlett solo. What would you say about this interface? Should I return it and get a different interface in combination with the am8 or stay with it? For example, the fifine sc3 mixer.

[@DarkenedCyrus]

You’re the real MVP. Thank you for the support!
The only scarlet product I’ve used is a 2i2 and I genuinely enjoyed it. Easy to use, etc. there are other, cheaper options, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good product.

[@Zynphii]

⁠@@DarkenedCyrus Yeah definitely man!
I know the UMC22 berinhger is one of them but again, I’m not too sure what to choose since it’s my first time using an audio interface and the Scarlett is my first one.

[@scuffiitv]

What mic would you recommend between the pd400x, fifine am8 or the k688 or maybe something in that range that sounds better in your opinion?

[@DarkenedCyrus]

If you’re thinking about the PD400X, go that route. 100%

[@GrinningJack]

I recently bought the GOXLR, beside Shure Mics, what other mics would you recommend for the GOXLR?

[@DarkenedCyrus]

On a budget? Get the FIFINE K669D. Want Elgato? Get the Wave DX. Want condenser? Get the Rode Signature Series NT1

[@FallenKiid]

Holy, 5hr video lolol

[@DarkenedCyrus]

5 hours of a middle aged bald man talking about microphones. Perfect 👍
