Several channels with higher view and subscriber counts simply said the Mackie EM doesn't have Live Monitoring. Props to you for explaining how to enable it.
Thank you for pointing that out! I initially thought it didn’t have it but thought it wouldn’t make sense for this category of microphone so I reached out to Mackie and they showed me how to enable it. So I pass the knowledge on to you. Appreciate you watching 🙏🏽🙏🏽
If there is just a 30 dollar difference, then I would absolutely update. It’s a microphone that has all the features you would need. Less likely to have to buy another mic in the case you need those extra features moving forward!
thanks to your great video. i bought that but i have trouble issue, i can't reduce my latency, i just have a 10 ms latency. can you help me reduce delay?
Hello! Apart from gain levels, there were no effects applied to the audio. I’ll always indicate when there is. I always like the viewer to have an idea of what the mic sounds like without any enhancements made to the audio. Hope this answers your question and thank you for watching 👍🏾
Hello thanks! I want to buy this mic but I saw the review saying it has no monitoring on the earphone....but now u mentioned it has no latency after adjusting the pc, i have more confident in buying it....but not sure about monitoring on phone
I can confirm that it does have live monitoring. Just have to follow the instructions I left in the video. It’s one of my top pics in budget mics actually. I’m not sure if it works with phones however…
Yeah...I am thinking if it can have direct monitoring on phones well. Seems like it could but no promise... I know some mic has slower latency but still it means having latency (which is quite annoying) but yeah I think your video is very helpful and you have clearly done more research than other reviews about monitoring. Thanks ! (BTW this is audience from uk)
Hello, nice review :) i thought about using this microphone for singing, how well does it do with higher volumes of singing? Does the sound distort easily?
I don’t sing myself but I feel it wouldn’t have an issue with that. Just have to ensure you’re keeping proper distance and angles to the mic and make sure you are also using a pop filter and I think you should be good to go!
@ten hi, yes i got it recently and tried using it for singing. It's pretty nice, even when i sing loudly it doesn't distort if I'm keeping distance. I still have yet to properly test this mic but I'm very happy with it :)
How do you find all this good music? I know you use epidemicsounds but by which words do you search (hope I explained that correctly) ? I really like you style
Hey thank you ! Yes, I think I know what you’re asking. So, I actually search for different genres of music. The ones I’m happy with tend to be under calm hip hop, sometimes EDM. But I do spend a good amount of time searching. So patience will def be needed in finding a sound that resonates with you. Hope this helps somewhat ?
I personally like both the Maono PM422 and the Mackie… both are good and also come with different accessory lists… so it’s tough, but if it came down to it ? I would go with the Mackie.
@aminarshin honestly, it has great build quality, (you will see if you end up buying it) and I find it’s more neutral sounding. Be aware that the mic does have live monitoring but you need to adjust the settings on your computer to activate it. Happy recording 👍🏾
Great review, I was thinking of getting the FIFINE K670 but I’m probably going to get this instead glad I saw this. By the way is this compatible with the ps4?
Yeah, it’s a nice looking mic and also has a solid build. I actually have a contact with someone at Mackie so I can ask if it’s compatible with the PS4 if you’d like?
Hello! I honestly haven’t tried this out as I don’t own a Mac, but I honestly don’t see why it wouldn’t at least work on the Mac. The tablet? Even less sure.
Hello, That’s how the mic comes in its default settings. You will need to turn on the monitoring in sound settings for that mic on your computer 👍🏾. I left instructions in the video

Is there any arm stand that you recommend with this microphone ? I just bought it as my first microphone...
Something sturdy like this should do the trick. Happy recording ! amzn.to/4g9uNoz
Hello! Do you think it’s worth it to pay 30 dollars more and get the Mackie EM USB over the Mackie 91-CU USB mic for beginner vocal recording?
If there is just a 30 dollar difference, then I would absolutely update. It’s a microphone that has all the features you would need. Less likely to have to buy another mic in the case you need those extra features moving forward!
thanks to your great video. i bought that but i have trouble issue, i can't reduce my latency, i just have a 10 ms latency. can you help me reduce delay?
Hello!
The microphone itself should have no noticeable latency. Plug the headphones into the mic itself and tell me if this fixes the issue 👍🏾
When you were doing the sound test, was there effects on besides the gain? It was it dry???

Where or where can I find the serial number for my new USB microphone
If it’s not on the mic itself then I would look on the box it came in.

@@GoWrightReviews yes, it helped, thank you!
@@theotheratticus Great ! There’s also a few sites that you can get a free month subscription to try it out. I think Artlist is another one.
I'm stucked please help me
maono au 903 or maono pm422 or fifine k678 or fifine k690 which is the best for singing??
If we want to make a good choice, which microphone is better? mackie em usb . maono pm422 . fifine k688
I personally like both the Maono PM422 and the Mackie… both are good and also come with different accessory lists… so it’s tough, but if it came down to it ? I would go with the Mackie.
@@GoWrightReviews My choice is Mackie, but since there is not much talk about Mackie microphone, I was hesitant to buy it
@aminarshin honestly, it has great build quality, (you will see if you end up buying it) and I find it’s more neutral sounding. Be aware that the mic does have live monitoring but you need to adjust the settings on your computer to activate it. Happy recording 👍🏾
@@GoWrightReviews And the last question, does it take the noise well?
You’re referring to the background noise ?
Is it suitable for home recording for singing?
If you’re going to be signing with it I would definitely also get a pop filter. But yea, this should do the trick.
thanks
Great review, I was thinking of getting the FIFINE K670 but I’m probably going to get this instead glad I saw this. By the way is this compatible with the ps4?
Hello!
As far as I know, I don’t believe it’s compatible with the PS4. Can I ask what your reason was for switching ?
Go Wright Reviews because it’s going to be closer to my mouth, the fifine mic is probably smaller than this mic and this mic is pretty cool ngl
Yeah, it’s a nice looking mic and also has a solid build. I actually have a contact with someone at Mackie so I can ask if it’s compatible with the PS4 if you’d like?
Go Wright Reviews sure thanks that would help a lot!
Okay cool ! I’ll answer you as soon as he responds to my e-mail 👍🏾
I never realized how many doors you have. Wow, that’s a lot
😂😂😂
Does this work with iPad and/or Mac?
Hello!
I honestly haven’t tried this out as I don’t own a Mac, but I honestly don’t see why it wouldn’t at least work on the Mac. The tablet? Even less sure.
I can not hear myself singing into the microphone… which is frustrating- I have the headphones plugged in but I can’t hear anything while recording.
Hello,
That’s how the mic comes in its default settings. You will need to turn on the monitoring in sound settings for that mic on your computer 👍🏾. I left instructions in the video
Nice intro!
Thank you ! Glad you enjoyed watching 🙏🏽
Nice
Thanks for watching !
first
Yes, You are !
@@GoWrightReviews what is the cost of this microphone
I think it hovers around the $79 US dollar range. So not the lowest and not the highest but a nice middle range. Very good quality IMO...
@@JD-876 usually, he always leaves an amazon link, so you can check it in the description :D

Is this good for google meet class ?
Yes, most definitely ! One of my top picks in this price point 👍🏾
