    This is the best description of mic pick-up and directional references! Like a $2,000 university course for free! Thanks!!!!!

    I thought all mics were the same, but after watching this video I've gotten a better insight on the differences. Much appreciated!

    This is the best video I've seen so far explaining the polar patherns a Mic can have. The 3D figures shown to demonstrate the polar patherns (Cardiod, Figure 8 & Omni) are the best part. Congratulations!!!

    Thank you very much for this. You have been EXTREMELY helpful. I'm a voice actor, but not very well-informed on mics as I should be. You just raised my intelligence level by a LOT, with one simple video.

  • @stienway1
    @stienway1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You know, I built a iso booth for my vocal mic work and I also use a c414 but I've always set it on cardioid - but hell Omni sounds way fuller! With the iso booth you don't need to worry about bleed anyways so I think I'm going to switch to omni. I think it would be awesome for a male vocal baritone like me. Thanks so much for this!

  • @trurocker03

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the way to demonstrated the different patterns visually as you stepped around the mic.
    I had no idea how to make sense of polar patterns (another new term I learned today) up until today because I was shopping around for a new headset/mic combo for streaming. (Before y'all say it, this is just one step. I'm ultimately buying a better headset and standalone mic a few months after this one.)
    I had no idea what directions the graph was showing me for the headset and it almost made me think it picked up in a totally incorrect direction.
    Thank you for this awesome video!

    I wish you would have gone a little more Into WHY you might use these different patterns, but it was still a very informative vid. In a lower end bedroom studio, I would probably want a cardiod mic for vocals to get the least amount of room noise?

    thanks for the explanation! very very helpful! Do you have videos where you show how to mic instruments with these patterns? For vocals I find figure 8 to be the best with a vocal booth/shield. Somehow it sounds very nice and rich.

  • @hawg427

    I has asked this question one the guitar YT channel & was told to ask Victor the question here. Are the Earthworks Mics good for recording guitar cabs? I don't know the model off hand but it's in the $499-599 price range US Dollars. Thank's in advance.

    • @RecordeoOfficial
      @RecordeoOfficial  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey, thanks for your question! Yes, the Earthworks SR25 is a great mic for electric cabs and acoustic guitars. With electric guitar however, I'm generally addind in a condenser mic like the Earthworks SR25 in conjunction with my "main" guitar cab mic, which is usually either an SM57, R-121, MD-421, or 409.

    What microphones would you recommend to record 360-degree sound without using an ambisonic microphone? There will be four 360-degree cameras and motorbikes will ride around the cameras. I thought of using four rode ntg3 mics, but they are too directional, or two octal mics.

  • @cgonzt5636
    @cgonzt5636 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don’t understand what’s the use for super cardioid- that little lobe behind it, what is it intended to pickup? So for singers, it means cardioid is the best choice?

    How do you have such a deep but clear sound with just a lavalier mic? Is there an EQ secret sauce or is it your room?

  • @shar60
    @shar60 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Are sure of your drawing for the cardioïd ?
    Why there is no indicator on these cardioïd mics ,only the capsule and it works all around for me.

  • @MoneyOnTheTrackTv
    @MoneyOnTheTrackTv 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    So basically if your just going to sing into the mic, go with the AKG C214 since they both share the same capsules.
