The clearest and most even sounding microphones, without protruding any certain unnecessary high frequencies in the high-frequency range: this is the Rode NT2-A microphone and the Neumann TLM 102. Here, of course, I only express my opinion.
I own the Rode NT1A, definitely a great mic for the price. I upgraded to a Nuemann TLM 103 which is great, sounds much better but Im still keeping the Rode in my mic arsenal.
@@Ewang2727 Actually Waves just came out with a plugin called clarity, I usually don't get excited about plugins but its really amazing with getting rid of background noises.
here is tip for those who are confused.Look for these things. 1. which mic has more mid range,specially lowmids. 2. Listen how 's' on all mics.If its too noticable dont buy it.Its very bad for rock vocals too.
Stuck between the Lewitt and the Aston... decisions decisions... but great comparison thank you so much!! Top quality content man looking forward to more videos
@@barrywortz Depends on your voice man. On his particular voice he might find that Lewitt works best. I have both the Origin and the Spirit. Couldn't be happier. A professional VO said to me, that on my voice it sounds great. He himself owns a Neumann U47 FET which is a whole other level.
@@Viettzz For sure! I upgraded from the AT2020 so I could tell the difference right away. It sounds clearer in my opinion. I don't understand too much of the technical specs but there's a difference there too. But honestly the AT2020 is great and really keeps up with the TLM 102. Part of me wishes I went with the Rode NT1-A and used the money i saved towards a better interface but I can't complain cause I feel like I'm kinda set with the TLM 102 for a while. It's all preference and making the best decision for your current situation
I can't tell the difference really between any of them. The most expensive sounded the same as the cheapest to me. What am I supposed to be listening for? Thanks.
I'm not shure if my ears are playing trcks on me but i feel like your Vocals are better to hear on my left ear. Maybe recording in mono would make it more comfortable to hear the difference between these mics ^^ Greetings from Germany
What do you think is better for rapping and singing because I see you like to suggest the rode nt1a and the lewitt but I don’t know which one I should get
From 1:11 to 2:21 it sounds like there is compression on the just right channel but not on the left causing weird shifting from left to right on headphones.

I actually love your channel... wtf lmao. I think ur the only reviewer who hops into a sound test basically straight away with minimal waffling. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT!!!!
The bluebird sounded the best out of all of these and I’m not a huge fan of that mic 2nd is the tlm 102, but you really should have added an AT4040 , it would have been the better mic out of all of these
The video cover showcases MXL 770, I wonder why it was sacked. Also, there's a significant difference in terms of price between AT2020 and Nt1A, so are there any options worth considering between within this price range($99-$229)?
I sacked the MXL770 for the Sennheiser MK8... between the AT2020 and the Rode NT1-A, these are the best budget options to go for... mics in between their price range aren’t better in anyway 👌🏼
I agree re: Bluebird and NT1-A..But i humbly suggest (if you're considering the TLM 102 and can spend $700) that you buy a used TLM 103 for the same price as a new TLM 102...Quite a difference
I can hear the sound opening closer to the pricier ones, when I listen through the home cinema. When the sound is closed, it feels nasal + the mic texture
I currently use an NT1-A, but It's not good for my voice or the room I'm having to record in. I kind of liked the Lewitt LCT & the Bluebird for this mix and voice.
First of all. Thanks for all your videos Edward and helping people out. I'm beginner beat maker using ableton. And wondering. Should I invest first money on Scarlett Solo 3 gen and use it with my steelseries siberia headset that has 32 Ohm or should I invest money on Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80 Ohm? Have a good day ✌🏻
I would say to invest in the audio interface first since it’s an interface that will last you longer and really help you with the performance and latency on your beatmaking career. Also you can buy a cheaper set of headphones like the Audio Technica M50X which are a great alternative to the Beyerdynamic.
Best deal is Superlux 205U (40$ but usb -> Audio technica 2020 -> Neumann 103. I dont undestand why people like Lewitt, it's so high end boosted that it's awful. But VERY important note, girls & gals, think if your voice is dark or bright, if it's dark take brighter microphone, if it's brighter get something opposite which is dark. Too many people fall for "this guy sounds great on this mic" it might not be your case. Good luck to everyone.
@@EdwardSmithMusic Still iam confused bro can you tell me which microphone should i buy for singing in home studio. under 120 dollars . I have evo4 interface
@@antarkhisa9223 it's all about what _you_ prefer. Are you going to record mainly your own voice with it, or other singers as well? Is there a specific style you're aiming at?
In vocal test, you should stick to the same part of the same song on each microphone. Difference can easily be spot this way. Otherwise it's so hard to tell.
Ohhyeahh,, another useful video,,,🔥🔥🔥,,I use a BM 800 mic,, please make a video on BM 800 since I'm struggling to get a High quality sounding vocals please
Hey man, u trying to get professional sound from bm800? Honestly it is possible if u get an audio interface like the behringer u phoria the cheapest one and a cable connecting it. After that u can EQ it and you are good to go. Do email me or dm me on insta if u still need help:)
A quick bit of advice. You may have already noticed this and fixed it (this video is over a year old as I write), but you are using mono sources (the mics) yet your stereo image for the speech test is fluttering all over the place. This makes it very difficult to assess the coherence of the signal. Having said that, the Node NT1-A stood out a mile for me, in both the speech and singing test. I downloaded the audio for this video and had a look at the spectrographic display for all the mics, and the Rode had a consistently clearer outline and definition to the harmonics. It deals with sibilance much better than any of the other mics, at least for the two tests you did.
These microphones shouldn't sound so simliar. It sounds as if too much equipment and post production is being done to make them all sound very similiar in quality.

2. Ulgy but fantastic MXL990

The video cover showcases MXL 770, I wonder why it was sacked.
Also, there's a significant difference in terms of price between AT2020 and Nt1A, so are there any options worth considering between within this price range($99-$229)?

@@EdwardSmithMusic thanks for the clarification. I guess AT2020 would be perfect for my budget.
The mxl 770 has a lot of noise , it’s decent for a beginner but I wouldn’t recommend it
No i switched from an nt1a to a at2020 maybe i just have a bad experience but i don’t like the nt1a
nta1 has lots of background noise compared to the at2020 at2020 does good job of only picking up vocals
Was the Audio gain matched in the singing Test? So all Inserts on the same Level?
Plss Tell Me In 300 bucks which is better? Ashton,Se,Blue Or Akg C214?and Seriously Your voice is just amazing..
