MatPat of Game Theory brings up the stories a lot of recording the audio for his videos in a closet filled with clothes because it blocks out so much of the sound that would otherwise be bouncing around the room, which a normal recording room would have an expensive amount of sound panels all over the walls for.

[@humane143imperfection6]

@@xaby996 Start with an *old* Macbook, it's cheaper. I just switched to Windows this past year after close to two decades of strictly Mac production but *word to the beginner* buy an older refurb Mac. I'd stay away from the M1 Mac as it's going to be that much more expensive and I honestly don't know that many people who are using the M1 processor over Intel rn.. for a number of reasons.

Thanks for the testing. I personally had my heart set out on the Blue Ember Microphone, but felt it was only giving me the type of high vocals only and no lows heard at all. However, I'm much more sold on the AKG P120 Microphone. I love the warmth, and how it gives me a wider feel, and great vocals of highs and lows.

[@archiebeatz]

You are welcome. I understand. I find myself leaning towards the AKG P120 when I’m aiming for more dimensional vocals in this price range. Yes, I totally agree. I’m glad you found the P120 fitting for your vocal chain. 🙏🏽

[@selenak8430]

Which would you recommend for someone who has a naturally soft and almost nasally voice ?

[@archiebeatz]

Hi Selena. I recommend the AKG p120 because you can roll off the low end/mid lows with just one switch. It brings out the details and the sound has depth to it. I hope this helps Selena!

[@iamcookbook]

Everyone seems to like the Blue Ember. The Blue definitely seems brighter, which I think some people experience as "clarity" but it feels like you lose a little low end because it's a small diaphragm mic. You can't really add that low end back in with EQ but with the AKG you always have the option of taking it out if you want that channel brighter. And if a person has a higher pitched voice the Blue might not work with them at all. I'd probably run the Blue through a warm vintage style pre and compressor to help thicken the mids a little if I was going to use that.

[@rajs4012]

Interesting, honestly I'm having a hard time figuring out which one I should go for. Just vocals for recording hip hop/ rap songs. Any suggestions?

[@eLLBdotmusic]

I'm no expert but I was thinking the same thing. I prefer to have it in with the option of taking it out but I digress.

[@jd1wheel]

Yeah, the low end sounded a bit muddier on the Blue. I'm going to be recording tenor sax along with vocals...so it's a bit worrying. But on the flip side it's small enough to record at the bell. Decisions, decisions.

@@archiebeatz sorry, a audio interface is what I was meaning to say. I was on Amazon and I saw some cheap $55-$99 USD ones. Would they (with the phantom 48v built in) be strong enough to drive the blue amber? (I've currently got the Blue Yeti.) An example of what I've been looking at so far: Example 1: www.amazon.com/dp/B07YTJ35H2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_n58YFb3PA2X72?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Example 2: www.amazon.com/dp/B0764HDLC5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_2-8YFbSPJHCNJ (Comes with headphones that I'd use rarely but good for setting the mix up at least.)

Blue Ember sounds great but might be unnatural for singing. I cant hear the low ends of a big black male voice anymore

[@JoeDidIt]

goddamned this was a well produced video great sound check

[@archiebeatz]

Hahahaha! Thanks Joe. I really appreciate it.

[@corygriffiths2425]

personally i usually swing toward audio technica but i like the blue microphone best, i here more natural reverb and i dig it, not as big on the akg, sounds a little flat to me

[@Cons2911]

Nice studio. And I always like the piano sound

[@archiebeatz]

Thank you!

[@AdamBornflores]

hey man, quick question, what do you recommend for a trap metal sound? I mean like rap + singing + screaming

[@archiebeatz]

The P120 would be nice. It's has a nice max spl. I hope this helps.

Because of this video I bought the usb version at2020 and it’s amazing the quality is 🔥 then about a week later I got the blue ember with a focusrite pre amp everything about the blue ember is professional quality. today I got my hands on the akg p120 for $55 bucks and the akg is an amazing microphone as well. But for me and my preference I’d have to side with the blue ember

I have the AT2020 USB version and I'm planning on upgrading to the XLR version of it for vocal recordings. The USB one doesn't sound as good as the XLR one... or my AT2020 is getting old after having it for 4 years

[@paulstabin6233]

Thank you, this really helps, as I am looking for a good mike in this price range. The AT sounded the most natural, the AKG a bit warmer and thicker, the Blue Ember very clear but the lack of bass does jump out. All very good, but for me the blue ember is a nonstarter, the Audio Technica and AKG are close, but would have liked if if you demoed the pan and the bass rolloff.
