Me encanta tu contenido y tus explicaciones y eso que no entiendo nada de lo qué dices XD , tienes contenido de gran calidad aprovechando el comentario cual micrófono es mejor el Fifine AM8 , MAONO PD100X y Fifine K688
Woah!! Thanks for the super thanks!! You’re the first ever on the channel. 😁 Of those 3, the K688 is my favorite for looks and sound. It also handles shouting a bit better. But you can’t go wrong with the AM8! The PD 100x is my least favorite, because of distortion.
You probably get this question everyday, I currently stream daily with a Blue Yeti (old one got it in 2016, the usb connection is broken so it disconnects at times which I dont always notice) I’ve been looking into getting a new mic that I could in the future «upgrade» with an audio interface. I’ve been through countless reviews, and honestly can’t decide which one to get from the AM8, K688, and PD200x. Would initially be used with USB. Replies much appreciated! Also love the reviews great work.
Hi dave, I’ve bought the am8 because of ur initial review months ago and I love it. Im just curious I recently purchased headphones. I just wanted to know how many ohms the am8 can support and how it is as a dac.
@@hermesthedon much better on low impedance headphones. I wouldn’t go beyond 80 ohms. It’s not a dac primarily and you might hear more preamp noise. Really just for monitoring use
That’s a valid take! That’s also my opinion based on the DT770 250 Ohms. They’re not fatiguing immediately, but in my opinion, they still are over longer listening periods. Depends on the use case, listener, and the speaker’s vocal type.
Hey , i really need your response I wanr to buy my first professional mic and im using boya m1 as a studio mic now 😂 I dont know wich i buy between maono au pm422 or fifine am8t I record videos in my room witch is not fully acoustic but its good and i normaly record reaction videos and i dont have pc or camera , im using my phone to record and etc In your opinion witch is better in my situation?
might be a silly question. But after I've made all of these adjustments. Do I hit save? Do I have to open reaper and select this saved EQ everytime I open my PC?
should be possible. Though I personally use equalizerAPO both for output and input. Kinda difficult to navigate for first time users, but once you set it up, it's a set it and forget it type of convenience. A big plus is you can see how much peak gain and latency (really important for gaming and streaming) is added by each filter and VST is adding to the processing, which is 0.3 Init. time and 0 latency on my end. Once you have everything tuned and activated, you can close equalizerAPO for good and have it do all the processing in the background for you even after you restart your pc.
Would you mind doing it with the PD400X, using the built-in 7-band EQ, along with the Limiter, Compressor, and Noise Gate settings in the Maono Link software?🙏🙏🙏
In your opinion, what mic should i choose? (I live in Egypt so will convert price) PD200XS (PD200x with an arm) for 60$ Fifine TAM8 (AM8 with an arm) for 120$ PD400x with maono arm for 150$
Fifine AM8 for $120 sounds not very good. It is a cheap mic and should be bought for cheap. I’d say, PD400X is fine if the arm is good quality. Though it is hard to beat that PD200X combo for $60.
@senpos the arm would be the Maono BA37, so I believe it's good enough for the PD400x. I have a 60$ gift card on Amazon eg so that's why I wanted to know what's worth getting out of these. So go with either PD200x or PD400x? What would you recommend? Money isn't a big issue here but would It be worth it to pay 2.5 the price of the PD200x for PD400x?
@HellCEO I own PD400X, so I am biased, you better listen to these two and decide yourself. I like PD400X because it is brighter. PD200X is fine but muddier. Also, depends on your voice. I guess, for high pitch voice PD200X might be slightly better. What about buying AM8 and some decent arm separately?
@@senpos The AM8 in Egypt costs alone 90$ here, and a good arm atleast costs 40$ so would cost more to buy them separately Since my voice isn't high pitched, from what you're saying, I believe the PD400x would be the best option here, no?
@ Damn, that’s expensive. Yeah, I would not buy AM8 for that much money. Look, PD200X+arm for 60 is hard to beat in terms of value, but PD400X should sound better.
I sold my Fifine A8 as it is good but records too much unnecessary noise, I need a dynamic microphone since I do not live alone, which is better to take up to $ 100, Am8, Tank 3, PD100X, PD200X, K688 In terms of price, they come from us like this: K688
@@DaveSoltura I ordered 688 for 35 dollars from AliExpress but had to take the white one which is 3 dollars more expensive because I don't trust the Chinese to send the new revision of the black one.
@@DaveSolturahow do I get k688 that is the 2023 model in black color, I don't like white color. And the black one has issues with usb connection as I have seen in some videos ...I don't like AM8 because it picks noise

You voiced Tom 😊
Yes, but it works also if I use the usb entrance?
Great video as always Dave!

xm8500 please
i dont think the am8 has fatiguing highs.. its your headphones that have piercing highs m40,50x have these issues

Mine sounds nowhere that clear. Is it just because its plugged directly to my pc?
Hey , i really need your response
I wanr to buy my first professional mic and im using boya m1 as a studio mic now 😂
I dont know wich i buy between maono au pm422 or fifine am8t
I record videos in my room witch is not fully acoustic but its good and i normaly record reaction videos and i dont have pc or camera , im using my phone to record and etc
In your opinion witch is better in my situation?
I tried this setting and I like it, it makes my voice deeper, not sure what exactly you did with nova.
Sir make video in windows for fifine am8
can you do the sm57?
might be a silly question. But after I've made all of these adjustments. Do I hit save? Do I have to open reaper and select this saved EQ everytime I open my PC?
There’s an option to save it as a template, and you can choose with template to load Reaper with!
You should check out the Cherry Xtrfy Ngale X. I want to see your thought of it
With these settings, is it recommended to be on xlr for better audio quality or usb? Great video btw
There is not much of a difference but the quality can be adjusted with the xlr and a mixer or eq
what would you prefer to get k688 or am8, pretend their the same price im just curious or is there another mic youd rather
what can you say about the kusky fs200? ultra budget microphone
can you give us every link to every character/commercial you've voiced (optional)
can i use this EQ program for like discord? or like obs (streaming) or for just like using my mic with this EQ program for general use?
I second this question
should be possible. Though I personally use equalizerAPO both for output and input. Kinda difficult to navigate for first time users, but once you set it up, it's a set it and forget it type of convenience. A big plus is you can see how much peak gain and latency (really important for gaming and streaming) is added by each filter and VST is adding to the processing, which is 0.3 Init. time and 0 latency on my end.
