Only question you're not answering is what the main question seems to be when I read your title. This video has nothing to do with best microphones in 2024.
The video provides comprehensive insights to empower you in selecting the ideal microphone tailored to YOU & YOUR unique needs. It's important to understand that the concept of a 'best' microphone is inherently subjective, as each serves distinct purposes. Rather than seeking a universally superior option, embrace the diversity of microphones, each crafted to excel in specific contexts and applications. Therefore, the title “Best Microphone For Voice Over 2024” is 100% applicable, because as already stated, by the end of the video you will be able to identify the best microphone for YOU.
I like you're stuff because not many channels cover the AT875r, which sounds sooooo good esp for the price. Also adding the NT1 is good because it is popular along with the common (though in my opinion plain, borderline muddy) sm7b.
LOVE my Rode NT-1 5th gen- that YOU recommended!
Thank YOU! :)
As usual James! Great video! Yes, because of YOU, I'm now rockin' an NT1 5th Gen. and LOVE IT!!! I'm still a fan of my vintage AT2020 USB though.
Thank you as always kind sir! Man, I gotta review the AT2020 USB and others in that line!
@@JamesYounger I'd LOVE to hear your perspective of it!
I appreciate the content and glad I stumbled on your chance today. As someone that’s just getting started, this is really valuable. I just received my NT1 yesterday and am finally graduating from my Blue Yeti USB. Really excited to get started with a proper mic.
Thank you so much for the feedback! It means a lot to me! :)
The Audio Technica sounds so good!
I bought the Rode NT1 5th gen because of you :)
Thank you so much! I hope you're loving it like I do! :)
absolutely love all your content, mate! I consider myself hobbyist and fell this rabbit hole of microphones during covid to sound better on wfh meetings :) I have sm7b with dbx286s and love this radio compressed sound of it. I wanted some shotgun mic which would have very similar sound to sm7b but without mic in my face - and after investigation bought mkh50, and its like 90% the same - this low-end rich thick dark sound. Just amazing. However, if the space is partly treated (like mine) echo on mkh50 is way more pronounced. So at this point my 400$ mic sounds waay better than 1400$ one haha
Thank you so much! And yes! That Dynamic mic will definitely do a way better job in less treated spaces for sure! I'll have to give the mkh50 a try some day!
Thank you:)) Appreciate your vibe and info. Glad I found this more current video. I’ve a super small treated space like the one you showed us in the closet. Do I understand well that you ONLY recommend the shotgun mic? Or, also the NT1 could be oK in there? What do you think of the Lewitt Ray coming out for small space.. when I look at people’s gear on leaderboard, not one seems to use Lewitt? Am I missing something?:) too much noise picked up? Maybe Ray fixes this? Thanks for your thoughts:).
Hey there! Either the NT1 or shotgun would be fine (unless you have a very particular problem) Lewitt is a great company and incredibly innovative but not as "tested" as say a company like Rode. I know voice actors who use Lewitt mics, it's just not as many. For no reason other than Rode has a bigger name and reach. The Ray is a really neat idea but I wouldn't suggest it for VO. The Rode NT1 or AT875R is more than enough. I hope this was helpful!
Such a helpful video! 👍
Thank you sir! :)
I use my vintage Rode NT-1 Creamy grey and Audio-Technica AT875R for many years. Both are great for me with my DBX 286S.
Thank you for the valuable information you share with us. Total newbie here, and wanting to get some much needed advise from you, and experienced voice artists. Being on the pre- Pre-K level of voiceover, I am afraid I will mess up gain when setting it up on the mic, so I was considering getting the Rode N1 5th generation and use it as USB, with the 32-bit float option, to have more room for error on that part, and getting an audio interface to use it as XLR later on.
Now, for about the same price, I can get the AT-2020 XLR (or other XLR you can recommend), with an audio interface, but I believe there is no going back if I mess up the gain, right? I'm torn, all advice is appreciated.
(As a side note, I considered starting off with the AT2020USB-X, originally).
Thank you so much in advance!
Hey there! Don't worry too much about the gain. It will take you no time at all to understand how to set gain properly. I'd also shy away from the AT2020. I really need to purchase one and test it myself but I've had to many students have issues with them. I'd really choose between the Rode NT1 signature edition (if you don't need the USB connectivity because the "Rode NT1 signature edition" is more affordable) and the AT875R. Either would be great. Shameless plug, check out my courses here: audiodoctor.tech/courses once you decide what recording software you're going to use I'd suggest buying one of my courses because it will lead you step by step through ALL the audio side of things when it comes to voice over. I hope this helps!
Thanks for the video. I am trying to make a professional how-to video that needs me to do voice-over overlayed on the instructional video. He owns a fairly large company and I dont want to let him down.
I got a podmic usb right now the original podmic broke and i replaced it, i also got a sm48 i trust shure and rode mics the most
Do you recommend out of the xlr cables which pick up the least mouth noises?
Hey there! Can you rephrase that question? XLR cables won't help or hurt mouth noise. XLR cables will make things like hiss, hum or buzzing better or worse depending on the quality of cable.
@@JamesYounger yes I meant out of the XLR cable mics
I have a RODE NT1 5th generation - about 6 months old. It was working fine until last week stopped working. I checked the XLR interface and cable and they are working fine. If I slightly wiggle the XLR connector to the microphone the signal jumps all over the place. I will never buy another RODE microphone again!
I've /taught/coached thousands of people at this point, and about 50% of them had the Rode NT1 4th & 5th gen mics and not even 1 of them had an issue. Reach out to RODE. You might be surprised.
I have a Samson C01 Mic- It's a Condenser Mic. Think it's decent?
Unfortunately I have no experience with that mic. What kind of work are you using it for?
Sennheiser 416 for my voice. My Rode NT1 and LS-208 are just collecting dust at this point.
Totally! To each his own! My 416 has been collecting dust for about 2 years now 😬
@@JamesYounger And yet we never sell any of them 🤓
@@jackedkerouac4414 Wait huh??
Sennheiser MKH416, because I'm a pro voice talent and it's a "buzz mic" or an "industry standard"...right!?!?
MAN, that SM7B is DARRRRRRK! ;)
(BTW - I'm live commenting...) that AT875R sounds...alright! hmm.... :)
I use the 416 because it captures a nice hyper-real sound and it worked great in my OLD studio...and equally great in my newer space.
YES! 😂
@@JeyBott It wouldn't have been QUITE as dark if I didn't have have issues when recording with it 😬 but it only slightly changed it's tone
I never know what they say. 😂😭😂😭😂😭😂
Come on.... You know what they say. You know... 😂🤣
Confusing, "don't get foam it doesn't work, but I use foam and Ill show you how to make it work"?
Sounds like someone needs to watch the suggested video. How can something make sense without it being explained? The foam video literally explains why foam doesn't work the way you expect it to, and then goes on to tell you how to make the most of it. It's confusing to me as to why you'd make that comment without watching the video first... 🤔
@@JamesYounger Why should I have to watch another video for something that doesnt make sense in the current video? I get youre trying to increase the views of your other videos but most people have limited time. Sorry.
@@sugarbait If I had to re-explain multiple topics in EVERY single video I made, I'd possibly be able to put out 1 video a month. If I've already made a video where I deep dive into a particular subject I'm not going to take the time to do the same thing in every single one of my videos. People have limited time. Sorry.
@@JamesYounger You make good videos but your personality is like a wet paper bag.
@@sugarbaitTheoretically, because you came here to, I dunno, learn? That's probably why you should.
If you *had* watched the previous video, you'd understand, but, you don't really want to know.
