Hahaha. This comment makes me happy. We only started the channel a couple of months ago and we're having a lot of fun with it. We're a podcast and video production company, so we're lucky that we can spend the time to make our videos look good as it's all done in house! Stay tuned for more!
Oooo that's a good question. My favourite microphone that I own I haven't done a review on UA-cam for yet. It's coming in the next few weeks so stay tuned for that one.
So what mike would you recommend if you want it to be positioned on the desk but not covering your face? I kind of feel Rodes marketing pictures are a bit deceptive as they clearly show it being used 25 or 30 cm away.
It is a tad deceptive isn't it! There's no way it would sound good enough positioned where they have some in some of their pictures. I'd have a couple of options for you: The sE Neom (USB) has an inbuilt stand and doesn't cover your face. I haven't recorded my review on that one yet, but it is a goodie! amzn.to/3W8lMn8 It doesn't ship with a pop filter though so that could be a barrier. My other recommendation would be if you want to have the microphone on your desk, to get a desk stand: amzn.to/3W2Op5n and then a Shure MV7x: amzn.to/3LpUDav or a Rode Podmic: amzn.to/4bMH0wW. That way you can have the microphone nice and close to your mouth, not obscuring the view of your mouth and have high quality sound. Depends a bit on your budget - but that's what I'd be recommending!
Thanks, I found this helpful. Your recording has no sibilance - is that because of your voice, the mic, or post-production de-essing? My voice is very sibilant, and I'm struggling with the Rode NT-USB Mini. Maybe this Rode model is better for voices like mine?
Hey! You can hear what my voice sounds like with the NT-USB Mini on this video to give you a good comparison: ua-cam.com/video/K37VHfSoajg/v-deo.html - Though I don't have an overly sibilant voice, the NT-USB mini will give you a bit more attention in that higher frequency more sibilant frequency zone. We don't do any post-production when reviewing the microphones so that you get a great picture of what the microphone actually sounds like straight out of the box. To reduce sibilance with your mic it can be a really good idea for you to change the positioning of the mic in relation to your mouth. You may find that being more off-axis with the microphone will give you less sibilance. It depends on what side of your mouth you talk out of (yes, we have a dominant side - crazy right!). My advice to you would be to plug your headphones into your microphone as you're talking and start playing with the position of the microphone. Move it around your mouth and try to listen to where you're the least sibilant, then position your microphone there when you're recording. I'm reviewing another USB microphone that I've been trialing for awhile here at the moment which might be a good one for you too with that in mind, that'll be out in a few weeks or so, so stay tuned for that one!
Condenser microphones always require more delicate attention than their dynamic microphone friends. Condenser mics are wonderful, but you have to have the right environment (like an acoustically treated room) to get the best out of those mics. For the price point, the NT-USB is pretty remarkable - but it's not my first choice for podcasters, especially recording in home setups. What's your favourite for your setup?

Do you like the shure mv7 better or the rode ? Whats your favorite microphone out of all you own?
Oooo that's a good question. My favourite microphone that I own I haven't done a review on UA-cam for yet. It's coming in the next few weeks so stay tuned for that one.

Thanks!@@bambymedia
Good mic ❤
It's definitely one of my favourites!
@@bambymediaThe Rode X XCM-50 is also a great mic.
Turn up the gain innit bab?
You shouldn't have to go through all of these acrobatics with a condenser mic. It's a bad mic, poorly built, poorly designed. The end.
