Thank you for fielding my question. The Neumann is pricey but does spec at 13 dB-A. I'm liking the Shure KSM 137 selling today on Amazon for $279 and self noise of 14 dB. There is a video comparing the two on acoustic guitar and the Shure is both clear and lively.
Hello! Thanks for your great content! Got a question: SM58 or E835? I know mic selection depend on personal preferences, voices and other external factors, but what is your favourite? Which one is warmer and better at sound rejection? And lastly, why no one made a comparison video for those 2 famous mic?!
Sony C800G self noise is 18DBa and its considered to be the best voice recording microphone of all times. It also costs >9000$. So self noise under 20DBa shouldn't really be an issue for voice/music recording.
Hope to hear this one in a future video… in your Do You Need a Shock Mount the audio quality was definitely up close and personal with a terrific presence of voice without being “down your throat” close. The obvious question (“what gear did you use?”) is not what I’d really like to learn. I’d like to know what you do to achieve that kind of rich sound, whether working with a Behringer XM8500 and a Focusrite Scarlett -or- a Rode PodMic and a MOTU Mk2 -or- an RE320 and a Grace m101? Granted, each of these gear tiers offers a given level of performance, BUT what it is about your process (placement, recording, gain, eq, compression, other post work) that helps you get closer to the sound quality goal you hope to achieve? It’s more than just the gear. How do you eq a voice to accent certain qualities, or reduce others? P.S. liked and subbed. Now reviewing back to listen and like as I go!
While the KM 184 could be considered the Cadillac of Cardioid SDC mics, the Sennheiser MKH 40/50's & MHK 8040/8050/8090, or Schoeps MK 4/MK 41/MK 21/MK 22 are a class above (like a top of the line Mercedes-AMG, BMW M, Porsche, or Ferrari) along with the price tag to match.
I just recently upgraded my mic and I was going for ease of convenience since I don't want spend hours on my mixes fixings things that could be avoidable, so low self noise was on that list and so many other things 😅
What a timely video, was actually looking to get a pair of the sE8s, but after a bit more research, I pulled the trigger on a pair of Lauten LA120s, as they seem very similar to the sE8s, and for just $30 more, they come with Omni capsules too which would be great for miking an upright from further away. Would you be willing to do an sdc shootout? I'd love to see how the other mics in the 300-500$ price range stack up against each other, and their respective pros and cons.
@@DarkCornerStudios Will be eagerly awaiting it :) I love watching videos like that, comparing different mics. It always makes for an interesting video!

@@DarkCornerStudios A few.more.for you. Should why I wear monitoring headphones? What type of headphones should I get for audio production? Are desk monitors the bees knees.for audio production?

Did you really mean to indicate that poor people who want to 'come.out of the closet" can't be voice over professionals? Just kidding i know what you meant.with regards to reverb absorption on the cheap.
I'm driven myself slightly nuts at times fretting over self-noise. It's mostly unnoticed after putting energy back into good performance instead.

The e835 has less proximity effect so does allow a closer working distance. It's sounds a little smoother too.

Lol...exactly the reason I went with Cadillac.

What type of microphone would you even use at a construction site?
Hey broh! I just need to discuss some issue that i coming across in my studio! Can u pls help on this?

I was wondering if my rode podmic could be used for doing professional voice acting ?
Podmic isn't that good to do any professional job IMHO.
Did you boom mic for this video?
No...my mic boomed.
Thank You very much man.
Thanks!
Nice!
