Great video but I have to agree and disagree. As an audio engineer and anyone who deals with audio on the regular basis. I would rather deal with a dry signal than a signal full of room noise. I can always EQ audio without adding artifacts. Lastly NEVER be afraid to crank an EQ or any of your tools all the way. you just have to do it as a Parallel Signal and mix it in to taste.

My observation, as an engineer who has recorded Top 10 hits in a multitude of hotels rooms touring around the world: In critically listening to the Kaotica audio, it's not cutting the high frequency crispiness as it is adding significant low end frequency boost. He compares this to the mic by itself WITHOUT a pop filter. (Pop filters reduce hi freq response also) I think the Kaotica audio eq'ed with a low shelf cut can go a long way to produce highly usable audio. The most significant culprit in recording pop vocals is background room reflections that really come into play when you start compressing vocals to get that "front of the speaker" pop sound in mixing. The Kaotica audio is not perfect, but any engineer with enough experience and confidence to eq the audio according to their "objective ears" and not to "what manuals, books and recommendations" say you "should" do, can use the audio on a major release. What you "should" do is what your trained ears tell you to (with eq). That being said, I do prefer treating the recording space (as I would with comforters, blankets, sofa cushions, etc..) to minimize vocals projected onto bare walls and minimizing this room noise finding its way back to the mic. In a chaotic sounding room, I can see this thing saving the day (with additional room treatment).

Not trying to be mean, but your comment screams "I didn't actually watch the video and just wanted to make a know it all comment"... This video is for voice actors specifically. Not pop vocals or any type of vocals for music. I make that very clear if you had watched the video and really retained the information. The rules for voice actors are VEEERRRYYYY different than for musicians going into a studio to have their vocals recorded (or even home recording) I stand by everything I said in this video because it was for voice actors. I've worked in this industry for years. These are the industry standards. All the top engineers, voice actors, agents and coaches all agree across the board on this. Now, if this were a video about pop vocals and top 10's, you'd have a point.

Moved into this cool old house in the woods in Northern Cali, owner was a music producer in the 70s and had the Grateful Dead's sound engineer design the entire lower floor. Got a huge studio, an engineering room and also moveable walls to create a small acoustically treated space as needed. It's pretty dope.

For other things like vocals it can be used but you will have to do more with EQ and other processing on the back end to recover what they eyeball did to the audio. The perspective I gave was one that I NEVER see anyone else give. In order to actually hear what they eyeball is doing to the audio it needs to be in a controlled environment like this. Just saying "Oh look! The eyeball took down the reverb" is only scratching the surface. Ya gotta dig deeper to get to what's actually going on.

This does just as good a job at comparing the difference as the other "ridiculous" comparisons you mentioned while standing in your bathtub. The eyeball isn't meant to be used in ALREADY TREATED rooms. It's meant as a cheap alternative when you can't afford to completely sound treat your space or if you don't have the freedom to do so for other reason. Brightness in vocals can be easily brought up with EQ and other plugins. All you're doing with this video is shaming people for trying to get a budget friendly set up.

In your situation and use of your studio, I can see your point. As a freelance independent producer, my Alctron type eyeball is just another tool I use that works well for certain projects. I use presets that are honed to work with my room treatment, mic and read. Subject matter often is the deciding factor. Sometimes live and bright doesn’t work with subject matter. Clarity, yes, and great sound dynamics, but to attain a certain feel my Alctron does a fine job. I can see your point of view though for how you approach your work and I agree with you in that regard.

@@JamesYounger I've got a Halo and it's decent. Doesn't jam up behind the mic as much - you've got an adjustable amount of space (several inches at least) - and it's also _slightly_ reflective itself so while you don't get the often-phasey slapback from the walls of your room you also aren't getting the fierce HF attenuation that comes with a straight-up foam wrap. The bigger thing about it is due to the shape it gives you some protection from the reflections off a ceiling, which in most home studios are notoriously hard to treat properly (and are almost always gypsum drywall, and almost always too darn low).

@@Levi_Allen Hey Levi! If you're a content creator it would be totally fine to use one of these if you couldn't afford to treat your space. You'd just need to understand post processing to really bring the audio back to life. Mainly EQ. The problem then lies in the fact that every voice is different, and every mic is different, and every mic will sound different on every voice because, like I said, every voice is different. So unfortunately you'd have to understand EQ to make the most informed adjustment to your audio. You don't want to arbitrarily bring up the highs within the EQ, because you might end up enhancing harsh frequencies that could make your audio hard to listen to. Long story short, play with your audio and using the EQ. Learn as much as you can about it until you're happy with how it sounds.

If you want to be a voice actor and have the (I don't want to spend the money on treating my space) attitude, you won't make it as a voice actor. The engineer you're sending your audio off to also has a VERY tight deadline just like everyone else down the line. The will throw out your audio and just go with a voice actor who has great audio in a millisecond. They don't have time for hobbyists. They have to move really quickly and if you get in the way of moving quickly they will just make sure to never use you again. In case you didn't know from watching the video (which it seems very clear you didn't) this video is for voice actors...

I disagree, this is a matter of application and preference.. in my opinion without, the audio was almost too bright/airy and with was closer to a finished product after compression, EQ and Dessing.. Maybe for voice acting this applies but with music I would much prefer to start with the warmer eyeball audio and minimize processing within the DAW although your voice sounded great without it or any instruments.. Also my u87 picks up a lot of my modestly treated room.

Gotta disagree completely with your disagreement of his..agreement...yeah that made sense! Without the Kaotica on, his 103 sounded like what a mic SHOULD sound like pre-processing: raw. You don't want a *finished sounding recording* to start with because if something needs to be adjusted or changed, it's significantly more of a pain in the ass to try and work with vs something un-processed. Harder to paint a wall when it's already got multiple coats of paint on it. Regardless of whether or not you're working in the field of music OR voice acting, you wanna start with a raw, uncolored signal (mic pre's aside of course). And if the source is too bright, there's nothing stopping you from slapping on a lowpass filter/DeEsser, or working in some subtractive/dynamic EQ. All of which are moves that are almost always made in the vocal mixing stage regardless. With the Kaotica on, it's making EQ moves prior to the recording being sent to your mic pre's/interface/DAW. EQ moves that are much easier to add in as opposed to trying to remove. It's smothering the top end and significantly accentuating the low midrange due to how small the Kaotica is - sound waves need time/space to dissipate effectively, so with the Kaotica on you're essentially cramming your mic into a foam pocket with no room to breathe. That's why it sounds the way it does, even smaller vocal booth's can sound muffled and boxy. -and uh, not to flop my own wiener around but I'm saying this as an audio engineer who works both in the field of music AND voice acting for a living. I'll take a vocal without the Kaotica ANY day vs with it, and I HAVE worked with people who use em. Besides, if you reeeeally want a Kaotica/foam butthole, just snag a $40 knockoff from Amazon, it's the same shit.

I'll just be watching a random vlog/video of their recording process at home, and it'll be the first thing I notice. The big ball of foam all over their mic. Why is this?

I don't think the issue is actually knocking down the high end. I think the issue is that the low end is bouncing around in the eyeball and you're getting a lot of mud in the low mids of the voice. Not pleasing at all.
@JamesYounger
@JamesYounger Жыл бұрын
This could absolutely be the case but it's much easier to explain by saying "listen to the highs disappear" because even if what you're saying is the case (and it may very well be) it's still being perceived by everyone that the highs have diminished. It's just like EQ. Sometimes if you want to add a little high end to the voice you can actually just take a little low - low mids away and the ear will actually perceive more high end in the audio. Great observation.

First off, stop thinking just because people make KZbin videos that they have money... I borrowed that 103 from a co worker. I definitely don't have the money to buy one. All the equipment I have took me years and years to save up for. I'm actually the most poor I have ever been in my life currently. People really need to stop falling for the "Oh they make KZbin videos so they're RICH!" fallacy. It makes absolutely no logical sense. Secondly, if you actually took the time to watch the video you'd know I was talking to voice actors and not musicians so it means absolutely nothing that Paul said anything. Voice over is a MUCH different animal. Trust me when I say, using a Rode NT1 or a 103 wouldn't change the results. The eyeball still suffocates the mic no matter the brand 😂 the name on the mic doesn't magically make it immune to what they eyeball does to the mechanics of the way a mic works.

"Use this little piece of sh- magic!" lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣 You're right it does sound muffled like someone stuffed a microphone in a box. I finally got the Rode NT1, per your recommendation and man! It's a beautiful sound. A huge step up from my MXL 770 that I started out with. The one thing that I noticed, is that the MXL peaked alot in the higher frequency range, creating more harsher Sss, Ps, and T sounds which had more sibilance. Since the Rode NT1 has more of a flat frequency response (and doesn't peak much in the higher frequency range) it sounds much more smooth. It has a nice warmth to it which is great for my smoky, husky voice. I can't stop raving about RØDE. I've learned alot from your videos. Thanks!

My job is to consult them on how to properly acoustically treat their closet so it sounds dead, but not muffled, as well as many other issues that you can avoid if you know how to properly acoustically treat a space. It's a totally different world than vocals for music. I found out the hard way YEARS ago when I went from music production to voice over.

EQ you brought up is an obvious mistake. The reason why the Kaotica is reducing your highs is because your highs are no longer bouncing around the room. So the obvious answer would not be to boost the highs but to boost the highs on the reverbs EQ. Which leads us to the problem with these things which is the problem with all acoustic foam products. They're doing nothing to your lows, very little to your mids, and killing you highs. Killing highs is fine as long as your killing most of the rest of the spectrum. Then you just add reverb. Problem is when it's just part of the spectrum things get wonky. I can possibly see this helping with vocalists whose voices or particular mixes are aided by big low roll offs. For male voiceover work you usually are not going to want to do a big low rolloff.

@JamesYounger
@JamesYounger Жыл бұрын
Getting closer to the eyeball wouldn't change the fact that the eyeball is suffocating the mic. And of course you did, that's normal with any mic unless it has a omni polar pattern. I actually made it as fair as possible, I was at the same distance with the eyeball on and off. Getting closer to the eyeball (mic) causes what's know as the proximity effect, which increases the bass response in the audio causing muddiness. So for example, if I had gotten closer to the eyeball like you suggested, the audio would not only sound muffled like it does, but it would have also ended up more muddy sounding. Long story short, if you're a voice actor and want a career, don't use one of these. If you're a rapper or singer or KZbinr go right ahead because in those circumstances you are your own audio engineer and you're responsible for the final sonic quality of the audio.

The fact you had a horrible title and decided to test a product completely out of its usage area, without disclosing this fact at all, is wildly misleading and very dumb. No amount of hurt ego of yours changes that. 2. "Testing in a completely treated room is the only way to isolate the recording and hear exactly what the eyeball is doing to the audio" is complete bullshit. The eyeballs sole job is to make almost fully untreated environments vastly better. This it succeeds at, and you can't test that in a treated room as you're essentially stacking sound absorption on top of each other in a way that completely kills the frequency response. You wouldn't review underwear and rate them low because you couldn't use them as a tent, without disclosing you're only testing their capability to be used as a tent. 3. "Lastly, if you're telling me I'm ridiculous for saying people shouldn't record in their bathrooms, that can only mean YOU WOULD which tells me everything I need to know..." Keep deflecting your hurt ego, it's fine, I won't cry. I've mixed music recorded in the worst possible environments before, it's part of working in audio engineering. The least I can do is recommend a cheap way for e.g. young people living at home, college dorms, rental apartments and the like to at least improve what they have. The eyeball is one of few products that help those people. You made a useless video completely misusing a product, didn't take 3 seconds to state that you're testing the product completely out of its usage area, and went on to spread desinformation about how it's hurtful for the sound, when the only thing killing the sound is your misuse of it.
