[@minecraftWithDanielD]

@@_xtrmntr_ I disagree. Because it’s a naturally thin sounding mic, it has an inherent brightness to it. Now obviously it would be better to do some good EQ with a more full sounding microphone so you have more room to play, but depending on the studio and client, a Neewer wouldn’t be the worst thing to keep in a back pocket.

[@patthesoundguy]

Being an audio engineer with many years of experience I love these videos. What's amazing about it is there is quite a difference between the microphones but when you start doing a lot of the modern processing techniques I bet you could use the $13 mic for a major record release and no one would ever know the difference. The second you auto tune the vocal the vocal ends up being partially synthetic and generated by the computer and will sound like a $13 mic was used in my opinion. I liked the Lewit it sounded great for the money

[@WanderingLogos]

Is there any consumer level auto tune software that’s any good? I looked about 10 years ago and didn’t find one. I even thought about creating one bc I’m a software engineer but, it was not easy to do. I didn’t want to work on it forever

[@patthesoundguy]

@@WanderingLogos Reaper has an auto tune in it that's not bad. I hate all auto tune but that's just me. 😉

[@WanderingLogos]

@@patthesoundguy oh I totally understand. I wanted it for novelty purposes… I also do a little media production and I don’t use auto tune or anything that trashes the original track. I’ve found audio equipment that’s a step up from the bottom is good enough for most applications. If I can use a Shure SM58, I know exactly what it’ll do… and it doubles as a weapon if needed. They don’t break😆

[@NICCAGE26]

Exactly I know a guy that paid $20,000 for a microphone.. and I use a $20 mic.. and I can tell no difference.. the cheap mic all you got to do is take a little bit of treble out

[@gyroscoper]

Yess! Exactly! i'm an engineer for 4 years now and got myself thinking, there's a lot of things that are just so overprocessed nowdays, for example speedup rap, anything with hard high pass and with a lot of reverb, which you really don't need a TLM-103 to make a good song. Of course, for 90% is still necessary.

you have no clue what you’re talking about. Lol. The better the mic the easier to is to mix your vocals. If he added the same effects onto the $13 mic the $130 mic would still destroy it. The $1300 mic will be even easier to mix with more effects. You really think people would be spending more on microphones if a simple compressor is all you need?

[@myappealinglife]

You did such a good job getting the best sound out of that $13 mic. Please tell me you make tutorials on how to achieve this sound quality, because this would be extremely helpful to so many people just starting out!

[@LaceChaser]

I’ve recorded 4 albums with 1 single $80 condenser mic and all instruments and vocals sound AMAZING, but a lot comes into play with getting a great sound. I recorded them all in an open 3 story house, I made a cardboard box shell around my drums to point the sound to the mic, I used my favorite 5w practice amp for guitar, same with bass, and recorded vocals in a shower with glass doors. So, every track had optimal recording possibilities. Editing the songs only took a few hours because of this and my first EP in total took 3 days to make and put in stores using that one mic. I called it “3D EP”(3 days & 3D art on the cover). You NEVER need to spend 1300$ on a microphone unless you want to just LOOK FANCY. The sound is up to you to make good or bad. Also, maybe you might want an expensive mic to pick up tiny micro sound waves such as in “ASMR” or whatever it is when people lick microphones and whisper….. to each their own I guess. But, yeah I’d say that $130 mic in this video could be used to produce professional albums ANYDAY!

Microphones are def one of those thins that have a huge point of diminishing returns. The sweetspot is from the 150-300 dollar range. Very little people can/will tell the difference between a $250 Rode NT1 and a $7,500 Neumann U67.

[@shaft9000]

A mic is just the front-end, and getting optimal results takes a fair bit of practice, is why. If using cheap speakers and in untreated room, of course the mic won't matter much. You can't just buy a fancy mic and shove it through a cheap signal-chain expecting wonders to occur.
