mannnnn i replayed instruments you put together about 9 times... i love the makeshift track mannn, the guitar was clean.... the percussions were a tad jankily mixed but, dawg... like i want a song lol... thanks for the vid.... i just bought a TLM 103 and a Lewitt 144 helpfully due to this vid
Loving your videos, great advice throughout. I also wanted to say 1) well played to your cat and 2) I love that you're using that upside down NT1 shock mount for the Neumann. Can't wait for that to be the next content creator craze.
Fun, entertaining, informative, warm, cozy, sweet sounding, etc., etc. (I just got the KRK S8.4 8" subwoofer, matched with the KRK G4 5" monitors I already have, and I'm amazed!)
@@AudioHaze Thank you too sir, I continue to learn a lot about mics from your always informative and entertaining vids! (Your black cat is always a welcome sight because I have one too.)
"man do i need a haircut" i just said this to myself as i clicked on my video, and that was the first thing you said here. i swear 😂🙃 man that is so crazy......... im going to the barbershop in the morning
Without acoustic room treatment a Diaphragm Microphones will pickup the rooms reverberation that can cause all kind of distortion, cancellation, comb filtering etc to the recording. U can't polish a turd.
I prefer the sm7b over the Re20 but I also realized that I'm more of fan of Dynamic mics over condenser mics simply because it gets the natural tone of my voice and I don't really have any soundproofing equipment
I'd be very curious to see and hear your take on, the difference between the TLM 102 & TLM 103. You must be curious yourself? From cold, dark, humid & weirdly back to normal Ireland! ☘💪🏽👀👍🏽☘
oh I would absolutely LOVE to! Neumanns do be kind of expensive though haha, so it'll probably be sometime in the future :) - From the cold dark Brooklyn winter
I own the AKG P170 and it is pretty atrocious with highs that slice my ears off... so I consequently bought a stereo pair of the sE SE7 and they are THE BEST budget SDC's with full range low end and very accurate mids with a smooth high end and lowest self noise in it's class...
Get a body donor for your poor SM58 please it's the best mic 🎤 Love NT1 for it's low noise and flat response and original SM7 the original one is way too different than the SM7B. I also love love love Telefunken U47. I listened my vocals with it and I instantly fell in love. It's my #1 choice I'm trying to own soon.
Something you said early on sparked some interest for me. It was about the RE20 being one you like for the top end of a contrabass. What mic(s) do you think work best/amazing for contrabass?
Audio haze I know this is a dumb idea but if you ever do a video on pop filters, could you potentially test a surgical mask to see how well it holds up compared to traditional pop filters?
I bet this video gets big views just because you mentioned unscripted gear stuff often does lol. Quick question (possibly a dumb one). I know you've spoken about EQ on this channel before, but I don't believe you've discussed this directly. When you apply EQ to a mic does it completely alter the mics frequency response to fit that eq or does it simply alter the existing frequency response? For example, if the mic is boosted at 100hz by +3dB using EQ but it already has a +2dB boost to begin with does this mean that the actual frequency response becomes +5dB at 100hz or is it exactly as specified by the EQ? Thanks, John.
It would end up being a +5dB boost :) flat on an EQ curve does not mean the EQ is making the mic completely flat, that just means the EQ hasn't adjusted anything yet. And there are no dumb questions! We're all learning here
Need your advice bud. I got the 25 anniversary edition PreSonus with the two Mike interface, the microphone you're holding, and the headphones. It was on sale for only $65 at $150 off. But I have been seeing a lot of videos that are saying it's super noisy and the amp cannot drive many Dynamic microphones like your re 20. The problem is, people are telling me the thing has a lot of hum. Is this something you have experienced or is it a clean sounding interface?
Hey Ricky Young! I bought a sm57 like 6 months ago becouse in the tigthes budget I wanted versatility. You think owning both the sm57 and sm58 is redundant? Btw I also think the P170 is dark and my voice is really dark too but, just a preference, I prefer to EQ a dark mic than a bright one. This is for everyone that is looking for any microphone: if it works fine, the rest is about preference and your speific space, form your own opinion based on the evidence that is provided.
Nice! And no I feel like most studios will have both :) it’s not the most necessary to have both, but it helps in any situation. That’s true, dark EQs can be easier but I also think you have to factor in noise control here, because if you’re EQ’ing the high end on a dark mic, it may get buzzy unless noise is under control
For noise isolation, the 440 is shockingly good! But for sound, it really depends on your voice. the 440 is a much brighter microphone, do you want your voice to be shiny and sit atop the mix, or darker and sit firmer in the midrange?
I picked up a used Shure sm7b and cloudlifter two years ago for $470 USD. I originally had the rode n1, but was able to resell it for what I got it for. I never rly use my microphone anymore expect for talking to people online in games. Do you think it'd be worth it to sell it and buy a sm57 instead with a pop filter?
I don't see any reason to downgrade if you like what you're using now :) I mean if you want the extra cash go for it but there's definitely nothing wrong with the set up you have now!
Quick question, I currently have the sm58 for content creation and streaming. My voice is more on the higher end (male) and I was wondering if the sm58 is relatively good for that (suggestions are welcome).
I would say its neither good or bad for that, the SM58 is sort of just a sound we all recognize, it does have a presence boost but its not necessarily overly bright. I know the Se V7 is considered much flatter, so it may be a bit more mild and smooth on a brighter voice (but I haven't got the chance to check it out so I'm not positive)
For some reason I like to get microphones even though I don't need nor use them for more than discord lol Edit: any suggestions on what hobbies I should get into relating mics lol
It would be funny if he only had like 3
hahahaha
All three are SM57’s

Hahahah if that becomes a craze I will be SO honored
I love my TLM 102 with the shock mount.
Its an awesome mic :) I just think its a bit picky with its room and surroundings
Fun, entertaining, informative, warm, cozy, sweet sounding, etc., etc. (I just got the KRK S8.4 8" subwoofer, matched with the KRK G4 5" monitors I already have, and I'm amazed!)
Thanks as always TC!
@@AudioHaze Thank you too sir, I continue to learn a lot about mics from your always informative and entertaining vids! (Your black cat is always a welcome sight because I have one too.)
That jam at the end was vibey :), also that tlm and sm7b combo is killer, nice vid
Thanks! I really liked the tone from the 102 + 440, great acoustic tone :)
My RE20 is black, and therefore sounds darker. It's been a good mic for my voice, and I've also had success using it on kick drum.
I use the neewer 800 for room mic too
Nice collection buddy! I have a NT1 for gameplays in my channel. Great mic!
Nice choice!

Do an updated version

Woo!
Great video, I could have sworn that you’ve sold me stuff at GC. Nice collection & loved the Jam!
Haha no way! I mean if it was in Charlotte then definitely
@@AudioHaze No, I guess not. I frequent the St Louis & Evansville IN stores.

@@AudioHaze Try going through life with my last name 😖
Danke!
I hope this helps for getting your haircut 💇♀️ 😉
Well, no, seriously, I just appreciate your content.
Thank you as always Rainer! Hopefully soon I'll get the haircut, maybe I'll just let it get crazier lol

Something you said early on sparked some interest for me. It was about the RE20 being one you like for the top end of a contrabass. What mic(s) do you think work best/amazing for contrabass?
interesting. I also wish you would have done the presentation of the mics while using them.
Maybe next time! To be honest that would have taken so long to edit and record haha
Nice job
Thanks Adam :)
It's not an AudioHaze video without an RE20
yessirrr
Song is pretty good! I think you should start a band or something;) seriously
Maybe someday soon! I've been in a couple bands in my day :)
Totally cool!
Thanks Rod!
Audio haze I know this is a dumb idea but if you ever do a video on pop filters, could you potentially test a surgical mask to see how well it holds up compared to traditional pop filters?
Yeah sure I could give that a shot at some point! Don't know when, but I'll write it down :)

I just found your channel today how did the sm57 end up underwater?
Touring lol, when you try and get off the stage really quickly for the next act sometimes stuff falls off the pile....into a puddle
thanks really wanted to know
I'd love to hear (and see) your thoughts on the earthworks icon pro if you ever get the chance
Oh I would absolutely love to! But ya boy needs more budget lol
@@AudioHaze so I ended up getting one and I'm still testing it out but maybe if there's a way for me to send it to you you could give it a go?
12:33 An attitude filled mic review in literally no more than 3 seconds, finished off by a smug lie-down. Your cattarooni really knows what's up.
Hahaha honestly she's become a necessity for her chaotic energy
Nice collection... but I expected all yours mics to be borrowed from a friend, and your only mic to be a ribbon mic XD
HAHAHA one day, when I've mastered production and all I need is a ribbon lol
At4040 vs lct 440 pure....which is best....for sound...?❤️❤️❤️❤️
And which is best at noise isolation??
For noise isolation, the 440 is shockingly good! But for sound, it really depends on your voice. the 440 is a much brighter microphone, do you want your voice to be shiny and sit atop the mix, or darker and sit firmer in the midrange?
@@AudioHaze my voice is in Between midrange - high end....
How about at4040... Is it better than lct 440 pure..??
You should've sang for the meme
I don't want to hurt your eardrums :(
Don't show us a "be nice I was only 15" on something that sounds that good! What the hell? 😂

Edit: any suggestions on what hobbies I should get into relating mics lol
Music of course!! Or voiceover, or youtube videos, or podcasting, so many options!!
this channel is stupidly underrated. also what do you think of the different tone the sm7b provides when the windshield is removed?
Thanks so much!! And honestly that sounds like a great video idea sometime soon ;)
I liked the song at the end! Nicely done.
an NT1 for live concerts whaaaaat?
I know right I was a maniac!!
I got the Lewitt 440 Pure based on your suggestion. I just need to figure out how to properly EQ it for my voice.
Good knowledgeable video. Great work.
Great video bro ❤️🔥
Thanks dude!
And you have a problem with that V7X and should get it replaced by warranty...
definitely noted :)
10:15 Oh no! you traded de 512 audio mic for an actually usable mic? 😭 so sad
hahahaha yeah that mic is definitely either take it or leave it
Thank you. But scripted, planned, produced is better. And cats. Always work in some cats.
I did work in cats!! Just for you!! (well actually she crashed through the set I had no control lol)
@@AudioHaze Yes. And let this be a lesson to me and anyone else who comments on videos while watching them instead of finishing the entire video.
I love these kinds of videos man! I own 4 microphones and I need more >:3
lol yes feed your addiction
Ahh love the jam at the end. Wish it was longer though.
Thanks! Yeah it was definitely a short jam :/
that ending production was super dope
Thanks dude!
