Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review the Arturia MiniFuse 2 and discuss when you might want the MiniFuse 1 over the MiniFuse 2. I also compare it to the Audient ID14 and Focusrite 2i2 3rd gen. This thing offers a 56dB gain range, an EIN of -129dBa, sufficiently powered headphone amp, direct monitoring, midi I/O, and a USB hub which is a pretty useful addition.

Today I review a mic that uses the same capsule as the Neumann U47, the Microtech Gefell UMT70s. This is a multi pattern condenser mic with Omni, Cardioid, and Figure-8 patterns with a High Pass filter and -10dB pad. This mic offers a reserved lowend, forward upper mid range, and a tame and controlled top end. It does suffer from a pretty resonant body, so be careful not to bump it while recording and it also picks up quite a bit of ambient noise.
Paid Promotion Selected because I received Lauten Audio Atlantis & Neat Mic free of charge to review. I was not paid, compensated, or required to include it in this video. I just thought it was interesting to include. Now I have to click that stupid paid promo button. Everything else in this video was paid for out of my own pocket.

Today I review the Zoom ZDM-1 Budget Podcasting Microphone. This kit has a dynamic mic, headphones, XLR cable, mic stand, and windscreen. The microphone has a clear sound with a fairly controlled low end which can get a touch wooly in the low mids if you get too close. It also suffers from plosives and shocks, but does a great job at background noise rejection. All round for $120 the mic sounds pretty great.
I also compare it to the SM58, sE V7, Rode Podmic, MXL BCD-1, Sontronics Podcast Pro, Shure SM7b, and Electro Voice RE20

Today I test out Adobe Podcast A.I. to see how it handles mics recorded in untreated spaces, how it handles phone call audio, clipping audio, recordings with too much background noise and a few more things. It's powerful and it has a lot of potential, but I think in it's current iteration it sounds pretty bad.

Today I'm reviewing the CAD U1000, a USB Condenser mic that is listed as compatible with Windows & Mac. Overall, I think the mic is not worth the price and suggest you look somewhere else if your searching for a decent budget USB mic.
