Thanks you!!

Hello James, Thanks for the video, it's right on time for me. I'm currently experiencing an issue with a Focusrite Solo. I'm finding that when I use it to record voiceover in adobe audition, no matter how high I set the gain, it clips the level at -3. is as if a limiter is being used as I record. Any Idea what might cause that?

When lowering the levels for shouting, is your proximity very close to the mic or a little further away?

Thanks James, really appreciate the helpful content! 🤘😎👍

Thanks for saving me from building a pop filter of my old tights 😂😂😂 I always guess we don’t need them 👌🖖👏

Thanks man!!

Great content James! Thanks you so much for this. If you want to improve views, I would suggest you to have a catchier title and thumbnail. That might give you the clout you deserve for your work.

Damn, I'm just now finding your channel after doing some research to improve my audio recording. I totally get it; TH-cam is a ton of work. Hope your time away is good. I'll watch your courses when I can.

Does this apply to singing too?

"noise floor is my dance floor"

I dont know which was which BUT, I prefer B. as It has more texture/richness. I do know that the audix is twice the price of the sure.

Just re- record the messed up part in a new track while listening to the first one. Mute the messed up part of the first track. Done.

7:25 he said get closer to the pop filter of the eyeball and actually face it, nobody ever said to suffocate it. lol, ur sum else.

u really said u gonna get proximity affect with a eyeball bru no it does not 😂 u was getting bad audio bc u were talking away from it

bro u actually don’t kno wtf u talkin ab a kaotica eyeball is meant for u to talk closer to it and u do not get proximity affect if u talk close to the eyeball, it has a gap between it 😂 it’s good for Music all u need is a good desser and know to not do too much on ur EQ

Very underrated channel. Thank so much!

Thanks!

In the thumbnail there is an Earthworks Ethos. That's the one I am using. But would you consider this an dynamic microphone? It's a condenser that needs 48 Volt... But is tuned to behave like other dynamic microphones, so kind of a hybrid maybe?

Sounds better with the eyeball to me 🤷🏾‍♀️

May I ask. What microphone is that you are using above you to your left?

Non sono d’accordo sul fatto che un microfono a condensatore sia obbligatoriamente più brillante di un microfono dinamico. Il suono del microfono è dato dalla risposta in frequenza che il produttore decide di dare, non dalla tipologia di acquisizione del suono. Poi se vogliamo parlare di calore e di definizione e piacevolezza dell’ascolto niente può battere un microfono a condensatore con diaframma largo. Mentre i microfoni con una frequenza impostata per enfatizzare le alte frequenze sono specifici per suonare “meglio” in presenza di un tappeto musicale abbastanza presente (tagliare il mix)… Siccome ad oggi le riproduzioni audio vengono effettuate su dispositivi portatili che non riproducono le basse frequenze si preferisce usare microfoni appunto che hanno già un impronta musicale più spinta sulle alte. Ma questo è molto diverso dal dire che i microfoni a condensatore sono più brillanti dei dinamici. Ti seguo da tanto tempo e hai sempre definito bene la questione ma stavolta c’è stata un po’ di confusione devo dire.

Nice introduction to dynamic microphones! There was not much new for me, but I think this is great for beginners. Anyways I look forward to seeing more content of your courses.

You deserve soooooooooooooooooooo much more views and subscribers.!!!

I want a microphone that blocks out my keyboard and mouse when I play games or record a video. Would a shotgun mic be good for that? I have a Blue Yeti that picks up lots of keyboard and mouse noise, and then I just got a Maono PD400X that still picks up a lot of keyboard and mouse noise.

hi what are a few mics that ae the next step up in quality from these?

i bet at 15 inches sounds great for low alto to low tener

very interesting, especially because when you say "there is no audio difference between NT1 and X1a" I wanna believe it but in fact I do hear a quite shocking difference, the X1a making your voice feel flat and the NT1 rendering your voice with depth and presence 9:25

About 6 or so years into owning a blue yeti classic USB, the audio has started degrading. I haven't taken it apart to confirm the cause, but basically, this is the issue: the left channel's positive amplitude caps out at a lower frequency than the right, or the negative amplitude for that matter, making a really bizarre waveform, and making the audio peak at a lower frequency. What's more bizarre is that this can't be heard through direct monitoring through the headphone port, only in the USB audio, which means it's not a problem with the diaphragm. Since a loose connection for a digital signal would just disconnect and reconnect, not cause problems with the stereo channels, I'm assuming the problem is with the wiring from the diaphragm to the internal DAC. I haven't treated it roughly, I haven't dropped it or anything like that, or let moisture get into it. The audio has slowly degraded over time. I assume this wouldn't be an issue with the XLR version, so keep this in mind if you consider getting a blue yeti.

Don't make me not like you. Who cares about FREE courses? I don't want to hear it again.

I really like the sound I get from my AT875R for VO work.

i think the problem is that its just way too close to the mic. It swallows all the audio. If the ball was much bigger it might sound more natural.

This infomercial is awful. Bad camera angles, weird mic placement during tests, and much much more! You should get a job unselling microphones.

@JamesYounger: Do you have any recommendations for my piano? I need to practice in it and record without hearing sound from outside and also my neighbour, who is my landlord, should not hear me playing. Getting a big isolation booth sounded like a good idea until I watched your video :D

at what age will u become james older ??

Why 48 kHz and 24-bit instead of the default 44.1 kHz and 32-bit float? Do we get any additional benefit by changing those default values?

I am proud owner of both microphones I prefer the sm7b more

James, you are a natural teacher. Your videos have this amazing sound that I am looking for. I am sorry TH-cam left your channel unnoticed😢

@2:30 Oh, I didn't know you could adjust the meter to show sound lower than -60. I just did it and it helped me dial in a better gate threshold in the noise gate settings. 👍🏽

What do you think a husky female voice sounds better with? Asking for a friend. 😂😅

Tell dr Dre that he uses it

❤❤❤

A bit late, but Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! (now let's record that in mono, 48 kHz, and 24 bit.)

Your audio sounds amazing on TH-cam bro! The presence is incredible and comes out well on our end. Thanks!

Personally tired of ppl trying to make me feel good, tell the truth if there’s any…

Just finding you and this sounds amazing! I’m actually new in my TH-cam journey and plan to make content for Christian creators, ministries, churches. I’ve been considering how can I make a free library of sorts. TH-cam is a great place to hold all of the free content. I like how you organized them all into playlist!

Looking forward to it and thank you. Im dedicating 2025 to working fully on my VO business.

Who are you I just saw you in my feed ?ummm looking for subs ? I thought you were leaving oh ok still looking for money 😂😂😂😂😂sorry not interested have a good life ….

Oh, man... I so feel this! I did the same thing. I created a whole series of courses, about 10 of them in total, and I now offer them completely for free after converting them to a blog, and share the videos associated through my TH-cam channel. I then have a Members level where people who want additional support for the course can sign up for that through my channel, but truly it's not needed 'cause the courses give you everything you need. They are complete. Surprisingly, there were people who actually wanted additional support so the members concept worked quite well. I feel you though. I'm almost done converting the last course to blog format. It's been excruciating. 🤣 Like you, I built my own course hosting LMS website without knowing anything about it and no support. I was completely self-taught. I was really proud of what I created, too. However, like you, I didn't like having to go the traditional sales model route. It felt too inauthentic to who I am, what I'm about, and it was also disappointing that it seemed like there wasn't much interest in what was my life's work. It became exhausting and not really an even energy exchange. It's wild to find another who also decided to just give it all away for free. I hear you on the burnout bit, too. I'm restructuring the way I create on TH-cam 'cause it's a lot of work. To see growth in the form of Subscribers, engagement, and making it feel like a reciprocal flow at times can seem an exercise in futility but I'm not letting go of TH-cam. I am however, revisioning how I work so it makes more sense. Subscribed, liked, did all the things, in solidarity and I wish you fortunate turnarounds that pour back into you all you give out.
