Microphone Polar Patterns Demonstrated - Recordeo

[@jsimoes95]

Master's degree in audio production here. Been using this fabulous video to study, the graphics make it so clear, and so easy to understand. Great content!

[@michaelelliott3164]

This is the best description of mic pick-up and directional references! Like a $2,000 university course for free! Thanks!!!!!

[@SpicyFlavoredIceCream]

I thought all mics were the same, but after watching this video I've gotten a better insight on the differences. Much appreciated!

[@buenmin799]

I don't get why it got so few likes. This video is so damn informative and awesomely made!

[@RecordeoOfficial]

Don't worry, in due time... :)

This is the best video I've seen so far explaining the polar patherns a Mic can have. The 3D figures shown to demonstrate the polar patherns (Cardiod, Figure 8 & Omni) are the best part. Congratulations!!!

[@thoveler]

This is still the best demonstration of polar patterns I've come across!

[@trurocker03]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the way to demonstrated the different patterns visually as you stepped around the mic. I had no idea how to make sense of polar patterns (another new term I learned today) up until today because I was shopping around for a new headset/mic combo for streaming. (Before y'all say it, this is just one step. I'm ultimately buying a better headset and standalone mic a few months after this one.) I had no idea what directions the graph was showing me for the headset and it almost made me think it picked up in a totally incorrect direction. Thank you for this awesome video!

[@idleBuddy]

Subscribed. Just don't stop keep bringing more educational videos like this. People now a days miss videos like this that explains everything from the super basics.

[@SergenTemucin]

This video is a life saver to me at the moment. Great work I appreciate.

[@Lo.ftRecordings-swansea]

Fantastic! Thanks for this-Extremely well explained! Bravo

[@kasperchristensen8416]

This explanation combined with the 3D models/shapes is nothing less than perfect!

[@stephensmith6555]

Thank you very much for this. You have been EXTREMELY helpful. I'm a voice actor, but not very well-informed on mics as I should be. You just raised my intelligence level by a LOT, with one simple video.

[@stienway1]

You know, I built a iso booth for my vocal mic work and I also use a c414 but I've always set it on cardioid - but hell Omni sounds way fuller! With the iso booth you don't need to worry about bleed anyways so I think I'm going to switch to omni. I think it would be awesome for a male vocal baritone like me. Thanks so much for this!

[@jairusyaneza8303]

best explanation video in less than 10 minutes! Awesome job here!

[@facksvillain2296]

This is the best explanation I've seen thus far!!! Thank you.

[@shamanand2351]

Thank you for this fantastic video! Your art of narrating this complex information along with the graphics overlay is phenomenal!

[@uncutrose2193]

Perfect 5/5 certified fresh what ever let’s you know this video is the best

[@joho-z]

Love the visuals of the directionality!!!

[@rosendoleonarocha5423]

Great educational video. Thank you very much!

[@singvirii5909]

theeee most useful video ever watched

[@maahfuudz]

Ohhhh ths video helping my couriosity 🙌 thankss aloottt

[@KiwiAlexJohnston]

Thank you for explaining this so much better than other videos that "bla bla" over the technical aspects expecting the viewer to already know how everything works. Turns out I had my cardioid mic setup completely wrong this whole time ... doh

[@selfmademusician1420]

I wish you would have gone a little more Into WHY you might use these different patterns, but it was still a very informative vid. In a lower end bedroom studio, I would probably want a cardiod mic for vocals to get the least amount of room noise?

[@fractuss]

Very helpful, thanks.

[@AmanSabbarwalArtist]

Thank u so much Love from India

[@HalfAcreFarms]

I can’t say this enough . This video was EXCELLENT! Thank you very much!!

[@d-rockanomaly9243]

How come I can't see my pickup pattern bubble?? Har har I'm so funny. This was a great video, very good production quality and informative, concise. Definitely surprising from a smaller channel. Great work. Multiple camera angles, lighted properly, visual on screen graphics. Just really good.

[@LukeFaulkner]

Awesome explanation! Enjoyed this & thanks!

[@rjakobej]

amazing video and the production value is just fire! :)

[@officialcisko]

Bought my first selectable pattern mic recently and this was very informative.

[@nishvids2833]

The best practically explanation about mics👍

[@rmaheshkannan1768]

U deserve more subscribers sir, thank you for this knowledge bomb

[@daniellemorin9524]

Thanks for the explanation and illustrations :) Very informative! WAS looking into buying a mic for my flute. Knowing nothing about microphones, your video helped me on which mic to buy! Much appreciated! Thanks again!

[@johnschroeder548]

That was fascinating

[@warphalak]

This is gold!

[@matthijsruhrup8869]

A good and insightful demo!

[@WellnessClubMalayalam]

Hello Guys... I am from Kerala, India... This is a nice Great Video... Thank You :)

[@JulianFernandez]

Recordeo is awesome! Thanks!

[@RecordeoOfficial]

JulianFernandez You’re awesome, thank you!

[@hawg427]

I has asked this question one the guitar YT channel & was told to ask Victor the question here. Are the Earthworks Mics good for recording guitar cabs? I don't know the model off hand but it's in the $499-599 price range US Dollars. Thank's in advance.

[@RecordeoOfficial]

Hey, thanks for your question! Yes, the Earthworks SR25 is a great mic for electric cabs and acoustic guitars. With electric guitar however, I'm generally addind in a condenser mic like the Earthworks SR25 in conjunction with my "main" guitar cab mic, which is usually either an SM57, R-121, MD-421, or 409. We go through all of this and more inside the Recordeo members area in the Ultimate Guide To Recording Guitar if you wanted to check it out, hit up recordeo.com Thanks!

[@harisvikingii6450]

Thank u man for this video.

[@seemadavidson181]

You deserve a sub

[@Sincyr59]

Nice Victor! I Love being a Drumeo member, hope to be a Recordeo member soon...Thank You!:-)

[@niseeamore3696]

This video is great and it helps me understand my mic so much more!!!

[@joshwhomusic]

Great video man thank you for this! Super clear and easy to understand.

[@lloydcooke5503]

This is great video and so helpful, i recently bought this mic. Question if i use the 80hz high pass roll off do i still need to EQ roll off too.

[@iamhear_officially]

This video is very educational. Thanks so much!

[@mdhluli19]

Thank you

[@jeremiahokakwu5013]

This video is so awesome!!!!!!! thanks for the knowledge

[@ggodle0728]

Oh... Really really nice explanation video!! Thank you very much!

[@damianbg]

please don't stop making videos on Recordeo

[@naivrgi]

really helpful video and clear explanations thank a lot!

[@lavanyakunche742]

Thanks for this video, it was very helpful

[@MorpheusMushin]

Excellent graphics and excellent opening few seconds! Why not use graphics to show the "null" at the 4:50 time stamp?

[@mattzee1047]

Great Explanation 👏🏼

[@morodayo]

great explanation!

[@lloydcooke5503]

Recently bought this mic, so your video was very helpful. Question, if i use the 80hz high pass, do i still need to high pass EQ also. Thanks

[@ChitralPatil]

BEST CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!!

[@JCDKEYS]

Very knowledgeable! Thank you Sir !

[@insidiosity]

Thanks :D

[@YaricoTV]

thank you so much for this! I leaned so much!

[@BasilJoseOfficial]

This video was excellent! Thank you

[@ambarishroul7278]

Informative but enjoyable 👍

[@accidentals_hacks]

thanks for the explanation! very very helpful! Do you have videos where you show how to mic instruments with these patterns? For vocals I find figure 8 to be the best with a vocal booth/shield. Somehow it sounds very nice and rich.

[@syncsonofelijahmanifesting1480]

Hands down the best idiot proof guide to pick up patterns; Great job!

[@veiktik2297]

Great video! really. Thanks!

[@cgonzt5636]

I don’t understand what’s the use for super cardioid- that little lobe behind it, what is it intended to pickup? So for singers, it means cardioid is the best choice?

[@trollerswifthasenteredthec1970]

7:44 what you're listening to is the sound bounce off the wall that he's facing and back into the front of the mic.

[@Nuwan__Madusanka]

Great explanation thank you...♥♥💪💪

[@itikutok6568]

I'm torn between the XLS and the XLII for drum overheads. Please, share your opinions!

[@TheZacharyMartinShow]

Its good for duet

[@shar60]

Are sure of your drawing for the cardioïd ? Why there is no indicator on these cardioïd mics ,only the capsule and it works all around for me.

[@Hzuuuu]

How do you have such a deep but clear sound with just a lavalier mic? Is there an EQ secret sauce or is it your room?

[@nelsonbellamy3778]

Wow this Video is very helpful 🇿🇦👌❤️🥇🏆

[@elena_berlant]

Thanks, what is the difference between hypercardioid and supercardioid mic? Which one is better for outdoor filming?

[@azca73]

I am wondering if you could recommend any microphone that is sensitive and can connect to iPad for voice typing, please?

[@thisisZOA]

which one is best for vocals?

[@Andrew-vr9hr]

Awesome CGI

[@tarjiband9904]

Thanks for the vid. much appreciated.

[@ShashankShekharMusic]

Can you please tell me which shock mount you are using it will be very helpful for me?

[@Ssheppard]

Great vid

[@zak88zak23]

Thank you so much so valid

[@MoneyOnTheTrackTv]

So basically if your just going to sing into the mic, go with the AKG C214 since they both share the same capsules.

[@XC2long4u]

Okay but do they have one that is super focused? What's the characteristics of the lapel mic?

[@alexbanaszkiewicz3065]

What microphones would you recommend to record 360-degree sound without using an ambisonic microphone? There will be four 360-degree cameras and motorbikes will ride around the cameras. I thought of using four rode ntg3 mics, but they are too directional, or two octal mics.

[@dxbox43]

what different cardioid and uni directional? which better?

[@Daybara]

I wonder what the purpose of each design was for

[@russellandrady]

Thaknzz

[@KublaCarn]

I would've loved to see real life application for these different polar patterns.

[@prakashxavier]

3D Animation FTW!

[@seanchun8069]

Aloha! My name is Sean and I work with Aixdsp. What's the best way to send you our plug-ins?

[@jordanroubinek710]

Why not Recordio? Having the io would be a reference to a session's I/O.

[@nbsarkar6911]

Because drumeo so recordeo

[@BryanErnest]

Thank you for this :)

[@ketanmorajker]

Damn amazing 😍

[@buenmin799]

What's the mic, you used? :)

[@RecordeoOfficial]

AKG C414 XLII

[@NoName-ro8km]

Thumbs up!!!

[@rapperupcoming]

Mic for rapper , point to be notice, explain technical aspect.... Next video pls

[@rhettreviews8760]

Hey, what happened to your video output? I'm curious why you stopped uploading. You seemed to accrue quite a following after only a handful of videos.
