Today I review the Shure X2u. This is a feature packed portable travel interface that offers latency free monitoring, monitor mixing, 50dB of gain, and an A/D converter that records at 16-bit 48kHz. The preamp and A/D converter of this thing are a bit lacking, but if you’re just using it for music demos or as a podcast backup, I think it will work well. For anyone looking for high quality audio, this will not meet your standards.

Today I review a budget usb microphone kit, the Neewer NW-7000 USB. This thing comes with everything you need to start recording immediately. This kit is surprisingly good for the price and I think that if you’re in the market for a cheap USB mic kit, this is a great option.

Today we discuss my favorite audio gear of 2021. I limit the selections to one winner and one runner up which made it very difficult, but I share my favorite microphone that I reviewed this year, my favorite audio interface I reviewed, and my favorite new production gear that I use in my studio. I would love to hear what your favorite gear of the year is.
NOTE: The paid promotion tag was selected because I received the TLM49 from Sweetwater for review, the Ethos from Earthworks for review, the iD14 from Audient for review, and the 517E Grand Pacific on loan from Taylor for use in reviews. I was not paid by any of these companies and all opinions are my own based on my own experience.

Today I review the Golden Age Project D2, a large diaphragm dynamic microphone designed for broadcasts, kick drums, and bass cabs. Unfortunately I do not think this mic works well for voice over and therefore, I do not recommend it for that application. It is listed as a mic that works well for Kick Drum & Bass Amps, but I do not have either instrument to test the mic on.
Buy the Golden Age Project D2
