    I actually really like the sound of the Rode on the guitar! On voice it sounds a bit cheap when you put it back to back with the AKG, but let's be resonable, at that price I think it does a fantastic job.

    Oh... if all TH-camrs could produce content of this quality. Just a pleasure to see and hear. Folks this content deserves a good external DAC on your end as well. Most of my devices are from a California fruit company, and they aren't cheap, but the DACs leave a lot to be desired.

    The Rode and C414 microphones with and without processing sound the same to me, Harv. I'm listening through the Seth model of the Skullcandy earbuds. I'm also listening through TH-cam's compression. If I were sitting in your studio there might be a noticeable difference.

      You would hear more low-mid detail with the C414 using neutral studio headphones or monitors. But, then again most of this is removed with a high-pass EQ with most video and audio applications that use presets. The C414 would destroy the Rode in vocals and acoustics if the comparison was done per source and with proper microphone placement.

    I'm actually a bit surprised the AKG sounds as good as it does being nearly two feet away. For this case use, one could never justify the pricier mic IMO. The AKG however is a great studio mic which I used to use on the radio. Great video!

      @@HarvVideoAudioStuff Yes, but I'm also recording weddings outside (and that's why I need small diaphragm mic, with better range). I record sounds like drums, and they have bass sounds, so I need a mic for outdoor weddings recording with very loud drums sound and very loud music sounds, my focus isn't on audio quality, but rather on video, so my built in camera mic fails to catch that deep voice of drums, as soon as it sounds 50% better with video micro I'm fine with buying it, sorry for long question.

    Hey! I am wondering how do you enhance the volume and get rid of background noise. I am asking because I have just tried the mic and it sounds worse and a lot quieter than in this video, I suppose it might be because I am not using the right software to process it. I hope you direct me to the right software or app which does that. Thank you!

    Thanks to share this very interesting video. I have never used a microphone for my Lumix GH5, also because it has a good mic. incorporated. Please let me understand, this is not a criticism. If you are vloging, to shoot only a few minutes where the microphone is actually useful in a working day, but unfortunately you have to leave it on the camera all the time causing you only some annoyance. My question: how useful do you see it to those who do not do any interviews, etc. etc.? Thanks for your thought.

I would appreciate the simplicity of it but if it makes no sense, do I need to look at something external like zoom H1N or olympus LS-P1 (that could in case be also added to hotshoe)?
