[@jamericanrebel]

Why’d you quit KZbin? It’s been a year

[@PrasunParihar]

Which microphone you are using for your main recording.....

[@theelusivefamily9043]

I have googled and KZbin this question and almost no one has an answer. What is a good microphone to mount to a DSLR for recording of fitness videos? No one has done a video on fitness videos where they aren't recommending lave mikes which doesn't make sense for movement. The DSLR will be set up on a tripod between 7-10 feet away from a the individual, and lots of movement. If you drop an affiliate link with a good explanation, I will purchase, thanks!

[@FenixoA]

I cannot emphasise how good this video is Andy. Wow! It's an all-in-one vid for selecting your microphone. Hats off! Just - wow.

[@OmegaSunsLight]

I like your seamless transistions from one product to the next. You displayed expertise and gave other reasonable, affordable options. Thank you for breaking it down.

[@Astrolavista]

Thanks Andy, I've been using the Takstar for a year now and very impressed with it for the low cost. I'm only now thinking of upgrading. Anyone starting out can't go wrong with the Takstar :)

[@artjohnson01]

Great stuff, Andy. I own four of these mics, yet I still learned a bunch from your video. Think my Zoom H5 is awesome, but I don't get that much use from it. H1 is a must for every kit. I use it all the time for various purposes. The ATR2100 is incredible for its flexibility, and I always take it on the road. Even at home, I use this sometimes in place of my Blue Yeti, which is sooo sensitive. Example: your demo of the Blue Yeti could have used less gain, IMHO. I did not buy the shotgun accessory for the H4, because not so pleased with a couple of online demos. Your video convinced me that I might have been wrong. I assume that you had the H4 and SSH6 on a boom pole overhead? Keep up the great work, Andy.

[@RAID5_Aesthetic]

And the H5 is 279 bucks on Azon

[@pranavmadhu2907]

It’s good to see you back Andy!

[@MRJInspire]

what is the mic use default in this video?

[@djblanton]

Hey Andy - great video. Was great that you compared such a wide array. I have gone with the H6 and shotgun mic you mention. Love it! thx for your work!

[@janayasmin9321]

Thank you

[@WandaWong11]

Thank you Andy! Saramonic UwMic9 is a great wireless mic kit

[@WayneMay]

My wife use the TEKSTAR. It works great, and with a little bit of audio editing, she can get it to sound pretty good. Rode sounds too "warm" for my taste.

[@DavidOkwii]

Most elaborate video on the topic. Thanks

[@TheTechGirl007]

Why did you stop posting videos?

[@briand7285]

Loved the video, I feel stupid as I bought a £7 USB condenser mic this morning. Even recoding Windows voice recorder & Audacity it was ok but for how long it’ll last. Got my eye on the Blue Yeti or blue snowball. Keep safe and take care. Brian D. 🇬🇧

[@SKimbrough]

Andy! Good info to consider. I am looking at recording a small group of 3-6 people in a kitchen having conversation. I’m trying to stay away from getting a lavalier mic for each person. Spoke to a few people and have been researching where it appears the zoom is a good choice. I purchased a Movo and Boya small shotgun mic but am not pleased with aiming it at the group so I can just focus on using my Osmo Pocket because it doesn’t pick up that well. They’d be roughly 5-7 feet away. I’ve seen that I need to get serious about a shotgun. I’m about to use the Zoom H1n to see how it handles the crowd in a closed environment. More reading points to skipping the Zoom H4/n pro and invest in the versatility of the H5 since it is modular and expandable. What do you think? Who is a good shotgun mic for small groups in front of you without using a boom, etc? Stick with Zoom’s $150 in house or get another and run it into it via XLR? I’ll need to keep this system for a few years. Any help is appreciated!

[@mrsheron2210]

Why u didn't include rode nt usb?

[@AshleyMarie1]

I needed this video! Thank you 😊 I have the lumix

[@joshgunntv]

True all you said I use my old Shure 58 to my T7i and it works great!

[@cheezcake1876]

Why did you stop making videos Bro

[@jinxme]

My dji pocket 2... m using for youtube.. do u have suggestions

[@Richardski1]

One of the best videos I have seen on KZbin on this subject. Well done - will subscribe and follow - please maintain this standard its excellent - and no annoying silly sounds which some KZbinrs make.

[@ChannelEmpire]

thanks Richard!

[@ctonylowe]

hey andy really enjoyed this very info packed I expected tony and Chelsea to give the best video on this topic, but u really gave me insight.. thanks

[@PaulPeckham]

Can the blue yeti be plugged in via Aux directly to a camera and if so how is the sound?

[@VENOM-_-15]

how to remove the static noise tho?

[@prabhuja7554]

What's the sweet distance for SSH6 bro....? For a youtube video lik dis...??

[@afti03]

Hello there Andy, i'm Andy and i just started my KZbin channel yesterday. These videos have been quite helpful. Good on ya, mate!

[@codenameexoliby6020]

Are there adapters for for usb mics that can plug into camera?

[@fisharif55]

Hi Andy .. my question which mic you were using when recording this video .. it has very clear voice

[@gvbalajee]

Andy nice Varieties of mic

[@mathswithlincoln6994]

hey. great quality. What camera did you use to record this video? its clean.

[@tankerboysabot]

What is a good mic for people who do metal/woodworking videos? Something that can be used while making the video without blasting the ear drums when using power tools?

[@MeanithNopnem]

Just started to get more serious on KZbin and have trouble with sound quality. Thinking of getting a lav mic and plug it to my phone.

[@XxAlphaxX..-_-88]

Why did you stop

[@gerryoleary5316]

Gratitude Andy, very informative.

[@GumballEdits]

What would be a priority for making skits? A shotgun mic or a laviar mic?

[@JLinn2385]

Great video, man!

[@grouprocox]

I use the Sennheiser XSW-D lav mic, works awesome! Gotta turn down my gain all the way down to 5 on my a6500 lol

[@Matthew_Raymond]

Another good USB/XLR hybrid mic is the Samson Q2U, which is very similar to the Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB, but it’s a few bucks cheaper and some people like the sound better (although it’s largely subjective).

[@XeroBritt]

A good video but the room is so reflective that it really detracts from the quality of your audio no matter which mic you are demonstrating...

[@ZulkarnainAli]

Still find this mic

[@albiss1164]

Hi, just to be nitpicking, you're talking about echo but the correct term would be reverberation or reverb. Very nice comparative tests! :)

[@marcodev3375]

Which microphone is best for making a video tutorial? My hand & body so busy. There are many stuff like hammer, scissors, cutter in my desk. I need my clear voice & clear sound but not too loud of hammering / cutting.

[@Sankalp402]

Superb video

[@emilylydia7899]

What microphone have you used for making this video ?

[@JocelynTse1]

Thank you Andy for sharing all the details! This video has been really helpful :)

[@ФишкиКумара]

could please advise me which mic is good for audio and video recording. Basically, I make educational videos presently audio but later I am going to make a video format. Waiting for your reply. Thanks you in Advance

[@normgm8034]

i love your videos bro from cambodia

[@ZONDOdriving]

Thank you 👌🏾

[@JoeLarge]

Have you tried any of the action cameras for regular posting on KZbin. Just got the Activexon camera and wondered if there were any tweaks I could do for better sound/pictures. Thanks,

[@CassTeaElle]

Great video! If you have a chance, I would love a recommendation. I'm fairly technologically challenged and really don't want anything difficult to use. Right now I'm currently filming on my Samsubg Galaxy s7 Edge, but I'm thinking about getting a Canon m50 when I have the money. At the moment, I have a cheap lapel mic that I would love to replace for better sound, but I just want something that will be good and also easy to use. I don't really do voice over work much. Mostly just videos of me, standing a few feet away from the camera. I'm kind of lost in all these options, so if you could recommend something I would be really grateful!

[@carrissajackson8820]

Where’d you go Andy?

[@skythom5302]

wich ones the cheapest? cuz they all sound pretty good to me (compared to my headset audio on my video)

[@MastMalangHaryanvi]

Amezing 🌹 Thank you so much for this clearness

[@R4_n]

thx helps because i have been looking for a good mic going to get the shotgun pro

[@travelssafarisinafrica7700]

great video, dynamic or condenser mics, what aplicatons for which

[@pqm702]

Sums up all the videos i watched this month about audio for videomakers

[@ThongdeeTHOR]

What mic do you use to record this video?

[@markcrystal8025]

Which one works well with smartphones like the new iPhones? For better sound quality inside cars instead of party on other end saying they can not hear you well or there is too much background noise if driving in a car. Built in Bluetooth microphones in cars are also bad. An6 red commendations??

[@DanKuman]

Mark Crystal, none, their for PC and laptops. Not IPhones

[@tymeem9390]

I really needed this video. Thanks so much. 💜

[@Codeytek]

Great Video

[@theagentmark-realaestate6711]

Dude. You are awesome .

[@vanesanchezk]

Dear Andy! Your videos have been of great help, so thank you! I am starting out an outdoor vlog, and I begun with accessories for my iPhone. I am really hesitant about the audio; because I need to record an interview with two people, outdoors, preferably with no cables as we would be moving around. Is the wireless lavalier system my best and only option? Thanks again I really appreciate your help!

[@bethanyperrylife]

I am so new to this. I love creating videos...may be a silly question, but I like to use my computer for the camera. If I were to buy the Yeti, would you see the microphone in the videos to be close enough to it? If that is the case, the Zoom H1 seems a good way to go, but how do you sync the sound with the video? Clearly I'm novice

[@IrenedeRaadt]

Hi Andy, thanks for your review! It was very helpful! Could you recommend an external microphone for shooting online vocal and piano lessons that captures high vocals and piano?

[@nancysbookclub7608]

Very helpful, 😊 thanks

[@Latilou]

I hope you upload an other video for camcorders differences and best one for beginners Thx❤️

[@Encisso_fitness]

[@evelynsantodomingo4122]

Is one of these good for interviews and voice singing recording?

[@PentaromaLMA0]

I guess you will never reach at the truth

[@jianboo]

Thank you for sharing. I want to ask what mic would you recommend for capturing live audio band that can hook up to a computer or via phone during or after recording?

[@marvin6028]

I learnt to manage my money through investments and it really works for me

[@karenfoo3643]

Nice good investment is how you take charge of your financial security. It allows you to grow your wealth but also generate an additional income stream if needed ahead of retirement

[@kelvinmax6595]

For beginners it's advisable to get a coach, an expert trader who would serve as a coach and mentor to ensure you make profits and increase your accuracy when you make trades in that way you get to make money with low risk or loosing your capital

[@mindyourcrypto7543]

@interesting, I'm guessing you are an expert, can I trade through you

[@janeven9357]

@lol I'm not, I also trade with an expert trader through Expert Anthony trading company... They have help me earn a total of $53k in two months with an investment of $6k

[@David-pf7bh]

@Nice returns how do I start

[@Latilou]

Thank you 🙏 so much for those information really helpful I’m going to check it out and get one

[@jonhernandez5499]

Cool video !

[@FLC293]

wow thats great

[@forgottenpotato9868]

So I was watching your tesla model 3 video on the other channel and I thought the audio was really good. And I decided to search for a video about microphones so that I can have good audio myself. And I see this video and click on it(not knowing you were in it) and I fucking freaked out when I realized it was the same guy I was watching 2 seconds ago.

[@charlierick5828]

hey man where are you going ? come back please we need you here babe come back~

[@thatshot8]

Appreciate you.

[@miamigos2237]

[@BairagiNitin]

Nice video...

[@spookycandytheater270]

There's so much static noise on your main in this video though

[@eyeofjake]

I actually prefer the takstar over the Rode.

[@midnightsenpai5831]

What do u recommend on a ok voice my voice isn’t really got please someone anwser

[@RayTheVideoGuy]

What are you shooting, and how? If you are shooting yourself on camera, you would probably want a nice lapel mic, which can be great and cost less than $20. The one I use is the Movo LV1 www.pocketvideopro.com/lv1 If you are shooting yourself moving around, a wireless might be better for you. the WMic80 is great, I reviewed it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKWVi6xopZp1n6s If you are sitting at your desk to do screen recordings of software or games, the Blue Yeti or Snowball are very good.

[@vasiliykarakay5672]

YouMic is a great lapel microphone Sold on amazon under 20$

[@RayTheVideoGuy]

Rode mics are OK, not great... but much more expensive than similar mics that are often better.

[@techconversation.1161]

I recommended a professional broker to you guys sometime ago..can I get someone who invested with him?

[@gina4247]

Hey I actually did invested with him I made huge profit thanks for the recommendation

[@karenfoo1534]

@@gina4247 Who made huge profits for you? I'm actually in search of a professional broker that can manage my account and make huge profits for me

[@digitech7626]

Wow I'm so glad I just withdraw my first profit two days ago now I have another ongoing trade with him

[@alexclinton1262]

I saw the recommendation but didn't bother chatting him

[@howardremy8370]

he is expert Josep one of the best and most trust worthy broker on Earth

[@themeltingpot8205]

have been dealing with Mic issues. Check out my latest video. I used some lavalier mics but the quality wasnt the best. Thanks for the suggestions!

[@GeoEntire]

Very useful for youtubes...#GeoEntire

[@SMARTBUSINESS-ko8ib]

A wow video superb thanks for the same bye

[@MANOFACTION43055]

Every mic you test in that room will sound trash because of the echo and just the room sound...

[@hypnosiscenternyc]

For your voice ... toss them all.. the Rode on-camera sounds best

[@hrjtbdb3051]

The audio quality in this video is not the best so why should I trust you?
