Why is Mic Selection Important? (PGOA 1.0)

[@lilianweiss2028]

The TLM is taming your 2k resonances relly well. Boy, I've been listening to your voice for way too long - love it! Nice capsule series btw. Both quick and correct answers for stuff people put into the YT search and an online audio boot camp series.

[@Podcastage]

Thank you very much. That was the goal with breaking this video up into different parts as opposed to just publishing a 55 minute marathon video titled “Mic Buying Guide”, becuase no one is searching for that. I want the answer to be easy to find for people. Thanks again for watching and for the feedback.

This is literally why I subscribed to this channel years ago!

[@Podcastage]

Thanks!

Great content, and I am especially excited about this series! Would you mind if I subtitled some of them and shared them with my colleagues and online course instructors? (They don't have access to KZbin, so...) They definitely need to pay more attention to their audio quality/equipment and up their game...

[@Ramdas_Devadiga]

One of the most consistent and knowledgeable Content creators. Kudos to your valuable guides and reviews sir 🙏🏻

[@Podcastage]

That truly means a lot. Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words.

I would like to add an important bit to this, one that to my knowledge you have not mentioned. Speaking to the mixers, as you improve your craft, make a living at it, your client list will also grow. For that future date when a famed touring artist finds their way to your door, invest in microphone(s). Your new client that day will come back and refer others if they are able to sing or talk into a microphone they know. That kind of microphone happens to cost $5-10k and often it is a Neumann. Not only will you make your new client smile that day, but every client will smile for the rest of your career at such a microphone as it tells them you care and that your recording that day will sound as they expect. It will also outlast everything in your studio. Buy once, reap the benefits forever.

[@Podcastage]

Very interesting perspective that I had not considered since I am just a solo at home record myself kind of person. But that is a great point about demonstrating to your clients that you care about the craft.

[@artysanmobile]

@@Podcastage It is one of the very rare equipment investments. It has paid off for me directly. I have clients who will use nothing else and fortunately, they have no desire to shop prices. Some of my Neumanns have been repaid many times over. Like luxury vacation rentals.

Is this the series you were asking about whether to make a very long video or breaking it up? Because if so, I usually advocate long form videos, but making these videos in a series by topic the way it has started seems like a really good way to organize it. With a playlist for the series so it can be binged, while still making it easy for someone to navigate to exactly the topic they are looking for. I really like this format the way it is being presented thus far.

Producing Great Offline Audio Too

[@Podcastage]

Yes sir. I was going to call it “Producing Great Audio” but figured PGA may make those golf people a bit angry.

[@jegantdragoch.7088]

great possible video series

[@Podcastage]

Thank you. I hope the rest of the first “module” (for lack of a better word), are helpful in picking a mic. Then we’ll cover audio interfaces, and then into the fun side of setting stuff up, recording, processing, and publishing.

[@kote315]

I suggest making one video with some argument, and then a video with a counterargument. For example: why you need a good microphone and why you don't need a good microphone. (I mean cases when the problem is not in the microphone and replacing it will not help.)

[@Podcastage]

Very interesting suggestion. Thank you.

[@ThatLazyyGuy]

The series the content creating world needs

[@Podcastage]

Hopefully it ends up being helpful.

Let’s absolutely pGOa!

[@Podcastage]

Ha! That’s great!

[@pijarsukma9858]

[@Podcastage]

I really appreciate that Pijar. Hope you have a great day.

Please review for synco d1

[@Podcastage]

I refuse to check out Synco mics. I learned that they (or their parent company) were sending out postcards to those who bought their mics saying “if you leave a 5 star review on amazon, we’ll give you a free mic”. Here’s a podcast sharing that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnOadHp9fMZ5l9ksi=DyiiDtWIQZ6HVPvM

So I'm starting to think that hearing loss can be rather amusing. I heard "Pagoda" not "PGOA" while walking the dog and not watching the screen. 🤷‍♂

[@Podcastage]

Pagoda is a real word so that makes a lot more sense that a made up pronunciation of an acronym.

[@marcealmartinez1194]

TLM 49???

[@Podcastage]

That’s the one.
