Curtis, you're the king! Thanks for all of your reviews. You can't imagine how often you've helped me!

Dude, haven’t seen your channel in years! Dude! You still pull baddies and make quality content! 😊

Be yourself, keep going. We are diehard fans of yours. Thanks

does anyone know if the screw on the transmitter works nice with other lav microphones?

Thanks for the video.

This isn't meant as a jab, bit it's really strange that most of the issues you're teaching people to fix in this video, are present in your voiceover explaining it. Do you not apply these same tips to your own audio?

how would it compare to a Sony ECM-VG1 ? Thanks

I have this Mikei would like to know if like recording using my mobile phone if I use my AirPod has an headphone to monitor audio will it work ?

Hey Curtis! Thank you for what you do, this is an awesome resource. I currently have the Rodecaster Duo, but I do not like the DSP solution, I feel like the compression and the make-up gain does not actually do the job that well at all and I struggle to achieve the sound I really want out of the DSP, I see that the DLZ units offer much more expansion on the actual processing side which is awesome; however, is it a good implementation in comparison to what Rode offers on their side? I would love to know your thoughts on this, thank you for reading and keep doing what you do it has helped me and so many others out there!

Too bad this can't work on 120 fps.

hi im trying to edit in a one poly track and then open the clips after edit so my timeline is cleaner

I recorded a few clips on an SD card but it would not play on my Mac. Is there a reason for that?

The constant touching of the microphones without explanation caused me to stop watching this video.

Hi Curtis. Thanks for this awesome review! It was very informative. What “pack” were you using when you did your range test? The SLXD1? I’m curious to see what the range of the SLXD3 is using the various mA settings, 1mA, 10mA, and 30mA? Thank you!

Could this mic work with a Tentacle sync field recorder?

After watching your videos, I don't need a summary, as you have already revealed the content. I retain the info much better having heard (and seen) it from you, rather than reading a paragraph on the screen. A printed summary is redundant and a bit tedious to read.

What is wrong being a shill, not if you are honest about it, not if you are a shill for good product, not if you tell us your opinions are subjective or objective. Go a ahead be a shill, I want to see what you are shilling about!

Why does the content loudness in the nerds' statistics change from '100%/58% (content loudness 4.7dB)' in a full 2:37 video to '100%/48% (content loudness 6.4dB)' when I upload a 7-second segment (from 1:11 to 1:18) to KZbin? Does it mean that *'100%/58% (content loudness 4.7dB)'* is the *average loudness* of the video? 🤔 Please, help me understand this thing better *'100%/100% (content loudness 0.0dB)'.* Greetings Curtis from Medellin, Colombia. 👋🏼🇨🇴

I am super careful when hiding a lav on female talent. What I will do is have wardrobe put mics on females.

Any updates on this?

Instrument cables are more likely to have problems than XLRs in my experience. I get gold connectors because corrosion seems to be a factor for me, especially near the ocean. Great, solid advice in this video. Thanks.

I would not have bought my Sound Devices PreMix6-11 without your channel. The ads on KZbin are worse than ever, like late night TV! I used to subscribe but it’s now too expensive. I think you were wise to put your stuff up as courses, but does it work? I pay for Masterclass and wish they would put up you and others, who moved beyond reviews to education. Time for a curated education channel rather than alternative TV where the programming is really the ads.

Hi Curtis, Do you have a MixPre10? If yes, what bag do you recommend? I have a PortaBrace bag but the mixer sinks too far in and isn't level. Tx

Thanks for your very interesting review, as always! Is it possible to record simultaneously 4 tracks 2 XLR + 2 Plug In Power 3,5mm plug?

In my case the location of the summary is not changing the way i watch the videos. Especially not, if i watch it the first time. I will always check out the hole video to know how you came to your opinion. It may may happen that i use the summary for a fast second check after a while to remember the result. Anyways i like your content and apprechiate the effort and your opinion. Therefore i always follow and also booked some of your courses as well, which are really great. Keep the spirit up and follow what seems to help the channel. By the way, i didn´t see any video on your channel which is about less relevant products or topics.

Crystal clear!

As always, the best scientific review💡🎥

I’ve subscribed to your for quite a while now. This is my first comment in your channel. I think the gear is more popular is for a few reasons. People(including me 😅) have spent a lot of money on something that not suit their needs so before the next purchase they want to know someone else’s opinion. Brand always tell about the goods not the bads. Actually I like more when you show what gear do you use and why. Thank you for your honest review 🙏🏼❤

One late comment to thank once again @curtisjudd for another good video, especially for trying to clarify the 32-bit float topic, which is very interesting and not fully explored/resolved. It seems to me that there is not a clear answer to what is (for me) the most fundamental question. Is there any disadvantage in using 32-bit float format? Or better, can the use of multiple preamps and converters + following processing cause any problems to the resulting 32-bit sound compared to the same recording performed with same setup (in terms of microphone/position) at 24-bit? We would need some more precise answers on this before deciding if we want to invest in the "insurance" of 32-bit float and pay the price of the extra storage space + longer workflow. I have no doubt that I would use 32-bit float anytime I make a recording that is important to me, but would like to be reassured that I am not compromising the quality of my audio recording! You (Curtis) considered this when saying (e.g.) "I was hinting more at the possibility of creating a crossover network to recombine the audio from multiple converters as being a potential degrader of audio quality." But then your conclusion was simply that you did not seem to hear anything wrong in your 32-bit float tests. I found it interesting to read @chakerian "There might be another test you could do. Poorly combining the outputs could result in gains/losses at the crossover point, too. Maybe test it with a known flat mic, and see what the white noise looks like across the spectrum to look for unexpected peaks or dips? And at different volumes it should move the peaks/dips (since it'll move which A/D converter it's using)." I would love if someone could try this and other methods to really stress test the 32-bit float recording system and find out if there is any potential problem and sound degradation. It does not help that there is not full clarity in the specs provided by Sound Devices, Zoom, Tascam, Rode, etc. They do not reveal the full details of the new 32-bit float recording technology and this is a real shame and makes me worry about this topic and hope for some more tests and discussions! Many thanks to all for the efforts!

I did now some reasonable sound treatment - e.g. DIY diffusors combined with my bookshelf - limited by the fact that I do not want to disturbe the flair of this my real living room. It helped a lot. But now the noise from the street at the left window is a problem if I want some distance - may be 25-30 cm (10-12 inch) - from my microphone. If I have understood this (and some other) videos correctly a shotgun like the Sennheiser MKE600 might be okay, because the moderate sound treatment should reduce phasing, too. At the moment I am using a Rode NT-USB (old version), would like to upgrade to the Rode NT1 (4.Gen.), but under the given circumstances a shootgun like the MKE600 might be the better option. But til not shure, wether to priorise the freedom of movement at least with arms and hands or the better sound. I want to make videos for people in Turkey learning German as a foreign language. Sound is important, but seeing me and my mouth, my gestures, too. The alternative may be a supercardoid SDC, because the noise from the street at the left is the main problem. Or I gave a damn to all these considerations and get a microphone with a sound l Iike (Rode NT-1) even if I have to put it for a clean sound closer to my mouth than I would prefer. I do it for fun not for money, at least I have to like, what I do.

According to the guy who runs the KZbin algorithm what they're looking for is fewer satisfaction and he claims that how long somebody watches your video makes no difference as long as that viewer left satisfied it doesn't matter if they only watch 3 seconds of your video. My question is how do they know when a viewer satisfied does that mean they have to hit the like button before they leave if you just making up a bunch of BS to make it sound like the viewer attention doesn't matter I mean that Todd guy in some recent interviews explains the way the algorithm currently works and he makes it sound like it's way better for everybody and few time and retention and all that stuff supposedly don't matter anymore but I'm not so sure I believe all of that

I am clapping... We have an Emma

Question! I use an iPhone and want to use the DJI Mic with THREE mics - is there a possible setup? Like the 2 transmitters and a Lav somehow? Thanks

can you use the Move Mic with the Blackmagic Cam App?

Will WAVES Clarity work with instruments? I have a Sax recording that has way too much reverb. If not, do you know of any de-reverb plugs that will reduce the reverb in instruments? Great video BTW, Thanks

this video is amazing man thanks so much for taking the time to explain everything so well!!! If I had multiple receivers would you recommend getting an antenna splitter? Kind regards

As a video editor, a lot of my streamer clients have dynamic/condenser microphones and the biggest con for me is audio peaking when they get loud/scream. It's really annoying how if you raise your voice, in some cases not even to a screaming level, the audio starts peaking instantly and it's really unpleasant on the ears.. In most my projects I end up having to manually boost the lows and manually lower the peaks dramatically, it's a big waste of time..

Short answer: NO. Thank you for all you do. I have learned a great deal from your videos.

Thanks

Hi Chris, so just to confirm, you are saying if only 1 mic, the MKE-600 or the MKH-50? Ido want to use indoors and out. Most of my shots are indoors...with a 70/30 ratio. You think these are better use case than the new Deity S-Mic3 or 3S or the MOVO mics? Thanks in advanced.

Hey Curtis, have you used the tascam x8 as a windows 10 deskop audio interface? So far I am liking all the options and use cases the tascam x8 can do and compared to other recorders it seems to win out. But I need to be able to record 32bit float on my pc and monitor myself live via the tascam x8. I'd also like to be able to turn down the mic monitoring and desktop audio coming through the tascam x8 independently but I don't think that's a feature unfortunately. I will be using a rode nt1 as my microphone so hopefully the pre amps on the tascam x8 are good enough for that mic.

I've moved away from KZbin because there are too many ads. Then there's the adds/promotion created in the video, the misleading titles, the endless waffle, and opinions that are simply BS! Your videos, however, are informative, concise, and helpful 👍

when i see curtis and listen to him i just trust him. he could tell me with his smooth voice that everythings okay and it would be okay, no matter what lmao. warmest person ever. i only wish this channel success, its the exact kind of serious quality content we need here.

You already get a like and sub alone for the summary at the top of the video!

Very professional and helpful video, thank you:)

Great video thanks for sharing so many details

Your content is always on point!

Hi Curtis, The summary at the beginning has been very helpful but you can't beat the machine so yes, put it at the end. We can always scroll to the end if we wish .... but that won't help you score on the KZbin algorithm ! You are just too professional.
