V8 SOUNDCARD REVIEW: DO NOT BUY UNLESS... (V8 + BM800)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- I finally got my hands on a V8 soundcard and review it. In today's video I test it with the BM800 across the different use cases that it is typically bought for. Is it a 'do not buy' or should you just buy a phantom power?
Shoutout to Aedrox (fb.gg/aedroxgames) for lending me his V8 Soundcard!

It's definitely fine to buy and use the BM 800 condenser mic along with the V8 soundcard if you're just starting out and if you don't have the budget.
It's okay to use these two items but if you really want to get serious with content creation, whether streaming yan, song covers, tutorials, etc. you need to understand that you'll be upgrading your equipment somewhere down the line and it's going to be a much better investment if you purchase a good mic along with an audio interface or a mixer which can offer audio of a much higher quality and more flexibility. I've been using BM 800 as my only mic for 3 years now that's plugged into an audio interface and I'm satisfied with what I have.
Again, no one is telling you to buy expensive equipment nor is anyone saying that you'll end up with poor quality content if you use the BM800 along with the V8 soundcard. Make do with what you have and if ever you get the money or the chance to upgrade, I highly suggest getting a better mic and an audio interface/usb mixer.
Great content bro, keep it up!
Excellent points bro! Nothing else to add, you said it all!
Yeah using this sound card as a newbie Kumu streamer. I changed my mic into Shure Dynamic because im not comfortable using condenser mic. Maybe, if this sound card breaks, K1 or Maono is also a good choice.
What microphone and Soundcard would you recommend? Mid range price sana
@@riopaclibarejr.2119 i use Shure dynamic mic. I used v8 now. But planning to upgrade to Maono soundcard or K1 soundcard. Search mo lang sa YT
@@merjaymermanph Thank you ❤️
Background sound is annoying? Why put background music when reviewing sound quality. SHM
What about the V8S sound card 🤔
I like you bro. Thank you for the information And the energy
whats the audio interface youre using now?
Thank you. Just subbed. Great review! I was contemplating on buying one - not anymore. Kind Regards, Gigi
Use phantom power and bm 800
Thanks for the kind words! Please get a phantom power instead
@@NORCLA i use phantom power and bm 800 like a prof
Hello po kya Norcla. Tinry ko pong idinownload yung settings mo po sa voicemeeter bm 800 kaso di ko po mahanap yung "Realtek Digital Output (Realtek High Definition Audio)" nag bliblink po ng red may solution pa po ba dito?
it is ok to use the v8 soundcard and voicemeter???
Nope lol
Norcla - that background music is very annoying also
You said it!
Finally... a very good review. I love the details and technicalities
Hey man, I love your content. But just a suggestion from one creator to the next, could you remove that music from your videos when testing out the mics and settings. The music becomes repetitive and I can't really hear what you are saying and how you are making changes. But other than that, great work.
Thanks for dropping by and for the feedback! 😊
Music be annoying af
so if i get the bm 800 i will have to buy a phantom power to be able to use it with voicemeter? caused you said you connected the microphone directly to your computer
Your background music is too loud and very distracting
You're using the bm-800 wrong because you need to connect it to a USB head
I Doubt it. I was using it properly
@@NORCLA watch this guy from 11mins+ he explains how he got rid of the hiss sound - and his quality a lot better than yours

@@inityo disagree. My BM800 at 6:10 sounds better
@@NORCLA maybe if you got rid of the music behind I could hear properly

Hi 😂
Interesting to note, my V8 soundcard doesn't even give out any recordings when I'm using my DAWs. I got to thinking and just ignored the V8 and used a splitter with a USB end. It started recording and it's working fine. I could record my voice without the V8. Any tips for the BM 800 to work even more magically?
multi-frequency compression will fkin magic your sound
absolutely amazing control
Is it ok to pair V8 sound card to audio technica condenser microphone??hoping for your response thank you .
1:37 this got me laughing so hardddddd
There is a negligible hiss in V8 everytime I try to EQ in Voicemeeter. I forgot what frequency it is but it's there! I kinda regret buying it tbh. Aside from that, even with Voicemeeter and a powered USB hub to connect my v8 to, there's a noticeable static sound in my voice in Discord. It isn't present in OBS (maybe because I have filters) but it's very noticable in Discord when I try to listen to myself. You can hear electric cracks and my voice cuts off regardless if I have low or high mic threshold/sensitivity.
I hope ppl would read this comment so that they know what they'll get if they buy the v8. Love the vid Norcla! Thanks for these info!
After what you said about it last couple videos, I didn't dare touch the Soundcard, even though it came with the BM 800 Microphone
maganda review mo bro, honest review actually pero parang di dapat masyado mag expect ng magandang quality para sa low end sound card katulad ng v8 na yan.. mura lang din kasi yan
Siguro yung "don't buy" word bro di kaya masyadong masagwa tignan kasi nagb business lang naman yung mga owner nyan tsaka malaking tulong yan para dun sa mga walang pambili ng PC at High-end Recoding interface, just my opinion..
Ganto ganto naranasan ko sa V8 Soundcard! Haha sobrang nakakairita yung hiss habang nagrerecord
Thank you for the review. Good thing that I'm not streamer and this is perfect for me because I only use this mic when I do voice over for my animations. I bought this product earlier and I hope this improves my voice on my animations
Well, I do hope it's the best product for you!
wala namang ingay yung sakin kahit nakasaksak ung usb charger. when recording ok naman din. 😂
you just only forgot the echo bro that is why your voice sounds like that
i recently bought this. seems like mine is defective.. microphone pickup was really weak and recording playback sound is not stable....😭
Where did you bought it?
malaki po ba yung PCB BM800 niyo sir? kasi may balita po kasi ako ibat iba yung benta ng BM800 sa shopee may maliit na PCB may malaki iba daw na version na BM800 tinipid yung components
the background music when you talk is very disturbing
Hi man!! you should do the uppgraded version, The v8x pro sound card!!!!!!!
can you use it as a soundboard only (not plugging mic)?
Lol i saw your old vids and bought BM 800 with phantom power and used RTX voice and it works great just buy phantom power instead of sound card and use RTX voice
Glad I was able to help!
2:00 is basically how my bm sounds like
same
The sound with splitter to my phone is better than with soundcard to my phone
Can you do USB Sound Card Vs. 3.5mm Headphone Jack Splitter?
plzzz T..T i wanna see the difference if the USB sound card is louder than the splitter
It's basically a toy. Its got a friggin Tim Mcgraw sound clip
Great video!
I always thought that a sound card went inside your compuer to play games and music like Creative Soundblaster!
this most likely is not a sound card, it looks like it is an audio mixer with effects.
would have been a better video if music wasn't louder than you. thanks for this tho!
v8 is trash. i just want something cheap but can record music on please help me
12:24 Voicemod, you have to pay for it.
ganda po ng review pero sana hindi mo na nilagyan nung background music or super hina sana ksi hindi ko masyadong marinig nung sound galing sa ni rereview na unit.
Walang problema sa V8 Yan nasa mic na ginagamit mo Yan a pekeng Condenser microphone
the mic isnt this bad stop making it seem like that
You have it too ?
@@datboiiqsa yeah
@@juggleWRLD Assist me
Yes, the mic is good. My recent vids are recorded through it. But I made a mistake, it already has treble but I unknowingly increased it through audacity that created the hiss.
Hey folk ...so you mocking the creators
plz next time remove the music to can hear you god
Ok 😂
please i want to buy please help me to have it an reply my comment po thank you
What light did you use in the start of the video. Because I want one
i.e the sync lighting with the music
I own this two months ago as i started as a Kumu Streamer, well the only problem i encounter is the hissing sound. The wire needs to be replaced. When i changed the wire, static sounds were gone. I dont use condenser mic while streaming, instead I recommend Shure Dynmaic mic if you’re into live singing. Its still alive for 2 mos now. Just dont charge it while using.... the type of Microphone and Wires you’re using really are big factors... thats all.. planning to buy a Maono or K1 also
What Charger cable do you recommend? Also what wires for Microphones do you recommend? I plan to run my mic's through my Phantom Power and then into this for mixing.
@@mlg_2000 im using Yamaha ag06 now and yamaha cords. Audio technica or shure mics
will it be good if i only use a dynamic mic?
I would only buy the microphone
The sound is electrical interference
Is it necessary to connect speakers to the soundcard for the karaoke function¿
best sound card for low budget .
I had already purchased thankfully I have a preamp with phantom power not currently using a pc and have 2 cellphone's available. I'm looking for quality only as pre production for home studio. Therefore it doesn't have to be perfect it just has to be decent. Glad to have seen this video and know I can make it work for my needs at the moment. God bless in Christ Jesus.
I am planning to buy the phantom power thing, I do not have the sound card yet, dunno if I need it for my karaoke recording thing…
Can you make a "Top Budget & Quality Mic" that can be bought via Shopee or Lazada? Thank you! Love your vids.
Just my bm800 or decent dynamic mic and uphoria um2 by beringer and enjoy
Bro the background music….. 🙄
plug a dynamic into it for a fair comparison. The lack of phantom power on the V8 is probably the issue.
V8 soundcard can get you a job at DZMM
Well, it seems you have found a good matching sound cards for your skill levels if you can't figure out that you shouldn't have a random music loop running in the background while displaying other sounds hahaha!
And wtf it's a toy, right??? It has toy effects, toy sound quality at a toy toy budget so what did you expect?
HAHAHAHA nice intro and sarcasm! The comments on your initial video of the v8 led me here, it was full of butthurt misinformed peeps saying you cannot review a product because you do not have it, missed the point. Since you did not review the item and was only giving your input based on sound from other vlogs/covers using the v8 soundcard which you can already gather a lot, and using food as an analysis to throw shade on your feedback, saying that you can't review food without tasting it says a lot bout their IQ, now if they knew what they were talking about they would have just shut up. I bought the V8 specifically for a quick fix of using my soundbar as the output for the karaoke app whist using a mic on our nvidia shield tv, nothing more. On a side note, great content man! Keep it up!
Cmon' dude... It's just 400php. For a start up kit, that's pretty good. Hindi lahat may pangbili beringer or rode. Easy stream for covers kasi cell lang go na.
If it’s PhP 400 and you get a poor product like this don’t waste your money
The provlem is the counterfeit iirc.
Wait, I justed browsed this microphone and I saw the v8 sound card included with the mic, did you buy your bm800 with the soundcard? Is there anyway to not purchase the v8 sound card with the mic?
I bought it without the soundcard!
@@NORCLA how? I'm seeing this mic in lazada but Tha v8 soundcard is included....
CLEANSE IT WITH HOLY FIRE!! QUICKLY!!!
Bro i need some help here, I want advice, should i buy a BM800 with v8 SC to record videos on the phone? And as a voice over?
Or BM 800 with power phantom is good and better?
Ur hilarious and yes I hate mines lol
Hi, need a bit of advice please. I am new to Kumu and just bought an elgato wave 3, planning to use with ipad pro 2018 as it can split screen (one side for youtube music track and the other side for my kumu app) . I used a usbc adapter to connect the mic but it won’t work unless I put an earphone in the microphone and when i do the live kumu stream, i can only hearvmy voice with the elgato mic but no music. I’m a bit stuck. Should I have just bought the Behringer from you other video?
So sorry for the typo
damn that bg music is annoying af
Now you have 149
Tnx
No prob i will support anyone
Been using BM800+Voicemeter from norcla and been having feedbacks that I sound like a FM Radio Station DJ
PERFECT
A week ago, I watched your video about how the V8 soundcard is a pile of crap. I was earning up for 1 month for it, then you called it out. I took that personally and only saw you as a person using the V8 Soundcard as clout rather than encouraging people to be aware. And also you had a Pewdiepie Gif in this video, so I realized I should find a better mixer or soundcard that I can plug in into my phone. Since I've seen this video. Thanks for saving me from gaining regret on buying this crap. I guess I have to sub lol
You’re welcome! Welcome to the big brain squad!!
Finally an English guy.
just wanna ask a question about my vocals clipping on ableton live 10 when i try to record songs on my laptop
Why is it like a toy? 😅
sanaol maraming pera pambili
yep the high is high 😎...
This would be my first professional mic to use for my podcasts. I do my podcasts over zoom. I got a few questions:
1. Does this work with zoom?
2. Is there any hissing sound?
3. Does this also catch fan sound or outside noises?
4. Does it look nice on video? Because all this doesnt seem very nice aesthetically.
Did you provide 48V phantom power to the BM800?
he also did not test with his rhode podcaster dynamic for a fair test.
agree napaka panget ng v8
mine is not like that
haha sobrang nakakatawa yung intro mo kasi may DiReCtEd bY RobErT WeIdE
It's a fake review .
7:48 The Cringe Laugh
Hi! So I was about to buy a bm 800 set along with the v8 soundcard po as a gift to myself, but I've come across your video and now I'm hesitating to continue. I don't really know anything about stuffs like these and I just want to cover songs, but I have watched your other videos with regards to v8 and I think I'm learning something. Okay lang po ba if I'll buy a bm 800, then power phantom, and then install Voicemeeter? Thank you so much po🙏🙏🙏
Yup that’s good!
@@NORCLA thank you so much po! More power to your high quality channel po🙏
I tried the V8 sound card when my parents got it for me for Christmas. It worked a couple times, but most of the time it was shit. My parents are returning it. I have to turn it on after 10 attempts and there’s now a staticky noise.
I got this because it was the same cost as just the microphone I was looking at and I'm not a fan of the metallic sounds I have when I speak through it. Plugging the mic in to my capture card runs a much cleaner sound. I got this because my headset microphone sounded horrible on my video's once I got it actually working. (just starting out and hoping to put out content that doesn't sound like I'm talking through a snare drum or wet sock. lol)
yep natural...
For Kailash 6:09
Is there anyway I can plug both headphones and mic without hearing myself?
i bought a pack that contain the v8 and the bm 800, and it was the same price as the bm 800, like tf
Oops
I’ve been using this for recording my guitar covers.! Bad idea 🤣 The lows were not coming out , the sound was sort of flat.This is only good for amateur podcasts maybe.
Thank you so much NORCLA you deserves 7🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I have budget to buy the V8 sound card and phantom power.......But I want to do some Guitar covers..... Should I Buy the v8 sound card?
What was the background music doing in a video that is testing sound instrument? 😁 Bro, that was really distorting the review 😵💫
I do not use pc, I have my old TOSHIBA, MacBook Air, iPad Pro & SS CP, do I need to purchase the phantom power? I do not have the v8 sound card…
Worst decision of my life except for dating my ex. This thing is not worth a dime.
to be fair his voice is oretty nice
Thank you!
Why not you intro your recommendation? Theres 2 vid about bad of "v8"
9 months ago tong vid, pero nice review kuys muntik na ako mapabili cause nagflash sale bigla sa Lazada almost na buti nalang nagsearch ako ng reviews although kuys may review ka ba about Maono mics?
