In today's video I review the budget dynamic cardioid mic, the ATR1500. This thing is relatively cheap and will set you back between $20-$50 and will work well with a USB Audio Interface for spoken word recordings, or live situations.

Today we look at my youtube / podcast / streaming studio setup from microphone, to headphones to cameras to keyboard. Please keep in mind, this is complete overkill, and you DO NOT need this type of setup to make content. You can easily get by with a $50 webcam and $50 microphone.

Today I review a budget usb microphone kit, the CAD GXL2400. Unfortunately, this mic is not available in most markets. It comes with nearly everything you need to start recording, and sounds pretty good for the $30 price tag. It does seem a bit boomy in the lower frequencies, but I can’t fault this mic for much given the cost.

Today I review the Rode NTG3, a very popular shotgun microphone that directly competes with the MKH416. This has a large present, treble, and air boost, but it doesn’t sacrifice anything in the low-end. It offers a full and well rounded body, while maintaining clarity in the top. This shotgun does pick up a bit more ambient noise than it’s competition in the MKH416, but that’s the trade off you’re making for the added low end.

Today I review the Aston Spirit, a multi-pattern condenser microphone from Aston Microphones. This is a “modern” sounding mic that is popular because it offers a clear, detailed, and articulate sound. I also include a comparison to the Audio Technica AT2020, Neat King Bee, Aston Origin, Shure KSM44a, and AKG C414 XLS.
