Hey, I'm using the ecm87 and having some major clarity issues... any help from anyone would be a big help. I THINK my audio interface or cables are faulty but have no way of currently telling. Taking the mic out of the box and setting it up with my scarlet audio interface, no treatment to the mic or sound. It sounds very fuzzy and does not accurately maintain sound when changing the volume speaking at / when adjusting input level as well, for example when I go quieter or louder the vocal starts to fuzz out and just doesn't sound smooth at all which is my main concern. I was previously using the scarlet studio mic and the preset I was developing for it sounding very clean and smooth and full, however I broke that mic so eventually it stopped working and was completely distorted no vocal signal coming through so I had to get a new mic which was the ecm87... plugging it in has gotten rid of the complete distortion, I can hear my self now but the monitoring input in the scarlet audio interface (when I press the monitoring option on the interface) sounds way cleaner and smoother than the minoring input from logic pro which is what my vocals come out sounding like which is super confusing and frustrating. It's no where near as clear as everyone is saying it should be and when I used my pre set that I was using and working on for the last two weeks with the studio scarlet mic and interface it sounded horrible and distorted and broken and fuzzy and NOT full just really bad and completely different to my last mic when it was working even though they are both condenser mics in similar price bracket ranges. Ive built new presets and played with this mic and the mix but something feels seriously wrong with the vocals it should be way clearer than it is I know something is up but cant identify the issue. maybe it is the cables? or the interface its self having burst from an overdrive of signal previously? Please someone any advice would be great. I also haven't tried to take of the exterior of the mic to look into the adjustable things since I done wanna ruin anything even more. maybe I can do this and flick the high pass filter off / on maybe its on the wrong setting somehow? maybe something isn't how it should be for some reason?
@jones17492 ай бұрын
2:40 I don't quite understand this. I'd imagine the signal to noise ratio would be the same at -25 to -20 as -18 to -12, and you'd have to boost the vocal more in the mix if its recorded quieter, so wouldn't you get the same amount of noise? The noise would be a lower level, but so would the signal. Does boosting the gain result in a lower signal to noise? I assumed that recording at a lower volume would result in a lower signal to noise due to the increased noise from the ad converters (after you boost it in the box). Is there a sweet spot where the decreased noise from a non uniform s to r from the preamp results in an overall lower signal to noise ratio even after the increased noise from the ad converters? I've always been under the impression that more gain on the preamp results in a better signal to noise ratio

You say that overly treated rooms don't just kill refractions, but eat your high frequencies too. That seems impossible to me. A sound from your mouth will hit the microphone before hitting the wall. Including high frequencies. It's just refractions that you're killing, not the high frequencies that are in your own voice.

Man... windows.... I do VO from my office which has/had a very nice window... that thing is now behind about 100lbs of sound blocking and absorbing material. Blocking because I am near some busy streets and next to a business parking lot, and the absorbing for exactly the reasons you mention. It was lame to lose the view, but it was an excellent object lesson in making a space that I enjoy being in work in a new way. I mention this mostly because of your comment about 'sticking a vocalist in the closet might not always be best' because I could have tried a closet setup, it would have been cheaper and faster, but I probably would have quit after month. The rest of the space is less ideal, still treated, but it's my office, it's 'small,' it's square, it has hard surfaces galore! Just like your recording from a much less treated space, what's most important is that you figure out how do do whatever it is you love as well as you can and with whatever compromises you find acceptable in the space you have. Really love the vocal comparison for mic positions and info on spacing. Overall I feel like mic technique (at least in terms of my preferred channels) is under represented as a video topic. I see a lot of people discuss it in forums, and it's a huge coaching topic, but this is one of the few videos I have personally seen - with the exception of Judd Curtis and mic technique/placement that is focused on a video production environment.

Well said! People sacrifice too much for audio fidelity and forget about the experiential element of recording. I could record in a studio made of glass up at the top of a mountain, I would take that 100% over a professional booth. It'll lend to a more heartfelt performance, and we forget about that sometimes in the pursuit of quality. We have to let the feelings that wrote the song bleed into the recording as well. And yes! Mic replacement is under represented for sure compared to mic comparisons :)

Thats a full DAW that will have everything you need. Alternatively, you could just go with the free Ableton version, or spend like $50 and get Reaper. Lots of options :)

Doesn't do anything, but I feel cool doing it :) My background is in photography, and the softer light is at the "edge" of the light rather than smack center of the light lighting up a person. I adapted this to my totally amateur recording style thinking I'm doing something good here. Does that make you cringe lol ? I know, I apologize In advance, like I said I'm not a pro.

It's not about the gear, zilions of plugins etc, it's all about a mic positioning and mainly THE ARTIST.

U have no idea how much you've been helping me recently. Including saving money and having better production (wip) I was hoping you could give me your opinion on one thing. I mentioned that I got the mxl 770 recently for vocal voice overs on KZbin so no singing or instruments. I use audacity to capture the audio through a steinberg ur12. I take the raw wav to isotope and use the built in eq to adjust and tweak. I think it sounds OK but even so, do you think I should still use a compressor or even a different app that you can suggest? Thanks mate ✌️
@AudioHaze2 жыл бұрын
Thanks man! Glad I could help, compression really depends a lot on your use case. If you're just recording voiceover, a compressor isn't really necessarily unless you want to use it for stylistic purposes. Whenever I use my voiceover chain, there's a couple of compressors doing some minor work to stylize the vocal, but its not necessary for sure. The majority of my voiceovers are recorded raw (since you wouldn't want to hear a processed signal for a mic review anyways). Is this a vocal for a mix or just a voiceover?

@@AudioHaze thanks for responding. It's just my voice and the camera. Like discussing topics, doing reviews etc. I'm still messing with the eq to get the tonality I want (even though I don't yet know what I want either 😅). I suppose when I find it I'll k ow but every channel and article I go to is practically shoving compression down my throat so, naturally, I feel like I'm missing out on something. I tried it out a few times but there were some "robotic" artifacts I kept getting but tbh I hardly know what I'm doing with a powerful tool like that. When I saw your videos, things immediately made me feel at ease about how I record and edit.

Hey! I would definitely consider a course, but I think that would have to be well into the future when there’s a bit more traction for the channel. I do lessons though! If you’re interested you could email me at realaudiohaze@gmail.com

Why do I have to turn my gain to 5 or 6 in order to hear myself
@AudioHaze2 жыл бұрын
on your preamp? Could be a bunch of things, that may be the gain needed for your mic, you may have your preamp monitoring settings set to low or not on the right signal, there's so many things that could be to blame for a quiet signal

@@AudioHaze so it’s not abnormal to need 5 gain… if it still comes out between -18 and -6 decibels? Wouldn’t the quality worsen

hey man I have to admit... Idk why but the RE20 really suits you not even just sonically but aesthetically too lol makes you look cooler and different

@@AudioHaze Absolutely - I have an RE20 Black and I’m convinced it looks better on camera than even an SM7B. It looks so smart, subdued and blends in to the frame due to the overall shape and black colour… but it simultaneously looks high end/ futuristic and flashy if one decides to really pay attention to mic. Finally, the length of the RE20 means you often don’t see much XLR, shock mount or boom arm on camera, while the SM7B’s short length means you see all that unaesthetic mess in full view. I recommend getting it in black, it’s absolutely gorgeous.

From your experience is there much difference in the quality of cables or are they fairly standard across the board (Amazon vs Mogami)?
@AudioHaze3 жыл бұрын
Personally, I don't find cable fidelity to be the most important aspect of the chain, but I know thats sort of a hot topic. I think higher quality cables will certainly last longer, perhaps provide less noise, but the fidelity beyond that isn't the highest concern for me.

@@AudioHaze Just 2 cents... Super cheap cables can be less robust and break more easily, also can do a poor job of RF shielding. I tend to choose "good middle." Kopul, is a favorite of mine.

The lookdown did reduce the highs and some sibilance and this video was exactly what I was looking for as I get close to recording a vocal for a similar track type haha Thanks 🎉

Actually I understand what Ethan was “driving at” relative to chest register patency, posture, opening up……so to speak. If I may, first of all the microphone becomes innately a part of the physical “act” of voicing as it’s role as 1 of 2 pairs of analog transducer
