That was the best thing I've seen in ages. Did not expect the abyssic void lord to appear. Epic!
😁
You're a great vocalist.
😊😊😊
Thank you so much Dave! This was exactly the video I needed to convince me on the Podmic.
PS. Appreciate your work on Nail the Mix. Seeing your session organization has helped me immensely :)
Hey everyone. I'll be going live on the channel directly after the premiere to answer any questions and dig into the examples further! Excited to chat with you all!

Dude, thanks so much for this video! I have been doing research on mic's to use for some metal vocals and working on a budget and this was HUGE! Kick ass vocals by the way! Thank you again!
🤘🤘
Dave, your production value just wows me every time. Amazing job on the vocals! Fff yeah!!! One of the bright sides of the quarantine is to be able to hear you rocking out on the mic(s), haha. UUURRRGGGHH!!! \m/
Thanks for the compliment and for watching, man!
Dan, thank you so much for this video. I appreciate the time and articulation you put into these video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks a lot, very informative and all-around review.
You got a new sub!
For years I wanted a SM7B for my harsh vocals and clean singing... Never had the money to buy one since dollar starting pricing up here in Colombia... Today I purchased the Procaster wanting to get an awesome result and god damn it rips. Thanks a lot, Dave!
Awesome video, was thinking of getting a new mic actually, this podmic looks very sexy right now! Great vocals btw! Hope to hear more of those in the future!
Thanks!
Great video. Love the editing and background.
Vocals were sick man! Hope you do more in future video demos etc
Thank you!
Awesome video! YOur vocals are AWESOME!!!! I Honestly can't hear a difference between these mics. And now I want the pod mic for fun.
Excellent review, and your performance was outstanding!!! Cheers from Miami.
Thanks!
thanks for this video, will be buying a podmic now
Siiiiiiick
Procaster all day coming from a SM7B owner.
I've never used an SM7b but I definitely love my PodMic. I'm pretty impressed at how comparable they are considering the price point.
Great video, man!
Thanks for checking it out! 🤘
I started my Podcast more than 2 years ago and luckily I did it with the Rode Procaster microphone, today July 2022 I'm still using it and I alternate it with the best of all the Electrovoice RE-20 in my opinion, it's the best I've ever had, and as number 2 follows the Procaster. Thanks Dave, you video is good.
Super helpful. Thanks for putting this review together.
Thanks for checking it out!
Loved 💓 the singing review. Epic.
Thanks for the review, your vocals are really good!
Great vocals and great quarantine lyrics !
Thanks for watching!
Finally someone that understand audio reviewed the Podmic, thanks dude!
Thanks for watching!
I wouldnt expect death metal from you XD Awesomly done!
I went with the Procaster due to the price. Like you said, it’s the ‘sweet spot’ specially for what I do (podcasts in an echoey room). Just discovered your channel today, already love it. I used to be a vocalist for a death metal band as well. Cheers!
Me too. I can buy 3 Procasters here today for the price of 1 Shure SM7B. And i can always buy the SM7B somewhere in the future of course.
Those demos were great 😂 great vocals and great lyrics haha very useful video :)
Thanks! 😃
Crazy how the SM7b instantly brings that 90s "classic" death metal sound. The Procaster has a more modern and articulate touch to it. Very nicely put together, once again (your channel is gold), and great vocal performance :)
Thanks, Guillaume!
Great comparison, thanks! And your vocals weren't bad at all. :)
haha, I love it! Thanks for the deathmetal review. I do think the low cut on the sm7b is too aggressive though for spoken word but I understand it's helpful for very deep voices. I think for most people a flat setting or presence boost create a better sound for spoken word. Imo.
Loved the video and the vocals!
Thanks for watching!
Great vocal and mix!
Fantastic video!
Let me first say, thank you so much for covering these 3 mics last year. I'm in the market for a new mic as I recently made the leap to the GoXLR for my streaming set up and my Blue Yeti is just not cutting it anymore. Kind of sad as it's been a great USB mic for almost 3 yrs.
The SM7B was always on my list when I would make the leap to a dynamic XLR mic but the $400 price tag for just "streaming" and occasional podcast recording seemed a bit much. With the introduction of the other 2 mics, it's making it real tough to pull the trigger on the SM7B simply to due to fact that I can EQ the PodMic or ProCaster to get really really close to the Shure and still have money left over for beer. This review really was what I was looking for.
Ok. Now that that's out of the way, I FOOKING LOVE the lyrics to your vocal singing portion! Lmao! It was fantastic to hear it in metal! Thank you. Great stuff Dave.
Ha! Thanks man! I needed some words to yell and quickly pulled up the world health organization webpage for some inspiration 🤣
Been looking for a used SM7b for ages.
THrough all the streaming and twitching and podcastign it became sort of a lifestyle-object and the used-prices are absolutely trashed compared to 4-5 years ago.
I didn't really consider the PodMic a good alternative because of the "Pod" in it, but holy shit, this is holding up extreeeeeemely well.
Thanks for this video Dave!
Crazy! I had no idea, but that makes sense. Well, Procasters are similar and plentiful :)
Dude, you rocks!
Great video!
Very good crack!!!!.
I have the Shure SM7B and the Rode PROCASTER at home. And I'm trying them out and I like how they both sound and I have serious doubts which one to stay with.... Any advice?
Greetings and thanks.
Subscribed. Great content.
Thanks!
Love the lyrics ha! All sound entirely useable to me....
Definitely.
Your giving "Suffocation" a run for there money with that death metal vocal!
A simply heavenly performance
Man. For price I like that Procasterbut the SM7b is such a classic. Excellent comparison vid! 🐉🍻
Those vocals are actually pretty damn good!
I'm just really good at mixing shitty vocals 😉
I was really surprised by how much I liked the PodMic. I do quite a bit of Screaming/Singing with Heavy Distortion. that's why I'm looking for Dynamic Mics in the first place. I always thought the SM7B was the only real deal and was saddened because I never had money for that mic AND a Cloudlifter or a Triton Audio FetHead. but after seeing this shootout I guess the PodMic might be an awesome alternative.
also: awesome vocal performance! thanks for the video!
Can't go wrong with the PodMic, especially for the money. 🤘
@@DaveOteroTube good to know. thank you very much!
Good job Dave!
Thanks!
Dave, you are the man!
🤘🤘🤘
Do you have any thoughts on the new Presonus PD70 when it comes to extreme vocals?
HEY MAN LOVE YOUR METAL UPLOADS FELLOW STUDIO MUSICIAN
Thanks man!
Your vocals sound rad man. 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
That song rips. DON'T TOUCH YA FACE!!!!! Good video.
I love the timely lyrics. LoL!
Pulled them straight off the WHO website 😎
Everything you said is accurate to my ears. I already have an sm7.
I still think the sm7b sounds the best and, like you said, natural. The podmic had a little more enunciation on the s hisses and Slightly more breathy that I didn'tcare for, but not bad. Pro caster seems competitive with the sm7b. Overall great mics for the price.
Great job on the vocals
Thanks!
Such a great review, all 3 seem to be amazing. Would you say that Rode Procaster is worth the extra $ over Podmic for podcasting?
Depending on your voice and budget I would say yes. I do think the procaster is a slightly better microphone overall, but either will sound great, especially if you have the ability to do a little bit of processing on them.
Also, if you were thinking about purchasing through Sweetwater, please do so through my affiliate links in the description :)
You guys should actually release this as an actual song! This is insane
The music definitely is a song from an upcoming release I'm mixing now. They were just kind enough to allow me to sing some nonsense over it.
How do you go about de-essing? Your recordings with Cattle Decapitation always have amazing high end on the vocals without any nasty essing. Before comp, after comp, active EQ, old school de-esser, no matter what I try, I can't get my results to match yours. Do you do multiple stages of de-essing?
I honestly try and avoid de-essing as much as possible.
@@DaveOteroTube Really? With all that compression and it's still so clean. Nice. Thanks for the reply.
Ma man Dave with the pipes dayum
Voice was trashed for like 2 days. I have no idea what I'm doing. Ha!
Bro did you have the go xlr if you do help me with the settings pls
revisiting this video since im buying a vocalist friend of mine some gear, forgot how solid the podmic works.
We need new videos, dave 🙃
Dave are you the extra vocals before the first chorus on Dying Will Be The Death Of Me by CC? I always wondered who that was lol.
The singing stuff is actually Josh, the old bass player. I think I did do some vocals on that song somewhere though.
Samson Q9U may be the killer, great video thanks a lot.
Thanks for checking it out, Fran Totti!
I love my Rode Podmic for death metal vocals.
🤘🤘
the guy has three fucken hands
👍👍👍
informative on mics AND global pandemic! If more people watched this video maybe we'd not be in such big mess rn
what lights and camera do you use?
My ear is not refined enough to be able to distinguish between them in a death metal vocals setting, but I noticed a clear difference in the speech example. The Rode mics had a certain 'podcasty' characteristic that I have noticed in their shotgun mics as well (and every Rode mic I've heard). I guess what I'm saying is that I'm not a fan of the Rode sound, yet so many people are. I imagine for someone who knows what they're doing, can get the sound they want from any of these in editing, but for those without much audio knowledge such as myself, these kinds of comparison videos are quite helpful. So, thank you!
Great work on the vocals btw!
Thanks for watching!
Had it for over a year
You're so good at controlling your voice. Very consistent!
Hey Dave, great video. I bought the Podmic because of my budget but am getting a buzz/static noise through a Zoom L-8 recorder(podcasting). I have 2 other mics connected which work fine, and i have switched cables and inputs and it is definitely the mic.
Did you have any noise-issues with it, and do you have any tips on what i can try to do to fix this?
Also, you should have done guest vocals on Death Atlas, you sound fucking great!
Hey man, I haven't experienced any noise with my pod mic. If it's not a cable issue could possibly be a defective microphone? You've made sure to turn off phantom power, right. Wonder if that could cause an issue.
Oteeeeroooooo
Great vid. Kinda surprised/impressed how well the rode mice hold up against the shure!
Rode on speech tests, definitely not as good ‘pop’ control. As an extreme vocalist, you’ve totally clouded any plans of a shure purchase now! 😂
Killer vocals too! 🤘
Thanks. RODE stuff definitely holds up.
I’ve always wondered if artist need to pop some migraine medicine after doing those kind of vocals
Dave World Extraordinaire Otero
"And don't touch your face" Fantastic! HAHA.
😁
how do you wash the sm7b windscreen?
I just pull it off and wash it in the sink with a little soap then let it air dry.
Procaster…. I do voice only. The SM7B and the Procaster sounded almost identical to me on my BD DT770 cans and here in Australia the SM7B is over AUD $800 and the Procaster is AUD $225. The subtle differences are not worth $600…. So winner winner Procaster!
Death metal scares me🤘🏽
Did he fucking say he had that Shure SM7B for 15 fucking years??!
Nice intro
does the podmic require a fethead or cloudlifter like shuresm7?
It does because the Podmic has a sensitivity of -57dB.
Unless you turn the gain of the interface all the way up.
So i have a question, do i need to get a cloudlifter or flathead for the rode procaster using the goxlr mini
I wouldn't think so. Both of the RODE microphones have high enough output that a cloudlifter probably isn't necessary.
@@DaveOteroTube okay thanks loads bro. Ive heard theyre quite gain hungry and dont really know if the goxlr mini has a clean preamp
🤣🤣🤣 dont touch your face that was great lol
In all seriousness... where'd you get that robe? :o
My lady used to manage a costume shop and is evil as fuck so we have lots of that kinda stuff laying around. Let's just say I had a selection of robes to choose from. 😂
That was hysterical....... what's the difference when you're talking death metal...... if you're farting in a tuba, volume is all that is required...... all in all, still any of them brought a tear to the eye.... keep up the good work...... LOL....
Thanks! ...I think 🤷♂️
@@DaveOteroTube 😂👍
Nice vox!
Thanks!
Damn. I regret spending as much as I did on the sm7b. I probably should have gone with the procaster
I wonder who that vocalist is? He kinda looks familiar :P
I think the PodMic would do Great on toms
Only issue would be the size and weight of the mic. My new secret weapon on toms is the RODE NT6. Check it out, but don't tell anyone 😎
Dave, were you fishing for compliments? Your vocals were toight
Yeah, i don't know I really couldn't tell the difference; maybe if you sang "Somewhere over the Rainbow" next time. 😂
I think I'm going with SM7B. Just sound better to me. Plus my audience has been listening to a blue yeti for a while, I think they deserve the best.
Rode procaster in mix the best
You got three hands 😆👍
😆😆
@@DaveOteroTube Please reply... Røde Procaster vs SM57b? And why?
any Cheap alternative to SM57b?
@@kobinsadvance The RODE microphones are the cheaper alternatives. Depending on your use I feel like the RODE microphones can sound very similar and in many cases the differences in the end would be negligible.
@@DaveOteroTube Thanks a lot, your practical knowledge helped me a lot. 🙏😇
Podmic, check. But do I need an exorcism now?
Mostlikely, yes.
@@DaveOteroTube I'll live with this new energy for a while before making any rash decisions.
Thanks for the mic comp. Well done sir!
Jeff Bezos!?!?!?
Procaster best
The plosives sound far more pronounced on the rodes.
