Today I review one of the most popular USB Mics for YouTube, the Blue Yeti Pro. Although it sounds good for music, I don't think it's ideal for most people on youtube. I explain this reasoning in the closing of the video.
NOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE): If you purchase an item using my amazon link, it provides me a small referral fee which helps me purchase these microphones. For more info check my FAQ page links below.
Today I review the DBX 286s, a pre-amp / processor that can make it so your mic doesn't clip when yelling during live streams, help remove line noise / room noise, and just make your audio sound a LOT better!

Today I review one of the most versatile handheld mics I’ve ever tested, the Lewitt MTP 940 CM. This is a multi-polar pattern handheld condenser microphone with a 1” capsule. It also offers two pads and two high pass filter options. In the handheld condenser market, the self noise is pretty respectable, did a great job at off axis coloration, and did great rejecting background noise.

Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review Golden Age Project Pre-73 MKIII which is a budget Neve 1073 style preamp. This offers +80dB of gain with 2 high pass filters and 2 high shelf filters as well as a variable mic input impedance. For a budget outboard pre, this thing is very powerful and versatile.

Today we’re looking at the Rode NT2a, a very popular multi pattern, large diaphragm condenser microphone. This mic offers a very detailed and articulate sound, with a pleasing and smooth mid range. The mic is very unforgiving if you’re in a poorly treated room or have lots of background noise.

To round out the year I wanted to thank you for an amazing 2020. I know it was a crazy and difficult year for all of us, and I could not have gotten through it without you. Thanks for allowing me to yell at you about audio every single week, and helping create what I believe is the best community on the internet. I appreciate each and every one of you so much. And 2020 can go f*** itself.

Today, I review the Neewer NW-3. A cheap, budget, XLR condenser mic that will set you back around $20. Other than a slight high frequency noise that will be unnoticeable to most, I think this microphone sounds pretty good.

Today we’re looking at the brand new Mixer, Audio Interface, Portable Recorder, Podcast Studio from Rode; the Rodecaster Pro. This thing has a fixed A/D conversion of 24-bit, 48kHz, offers +55dB of gain, has onboard processing, a soundboard, auto mix minus, and everything else you would need to start a podcast (as long as you don’t want to multi track, manipulate the processing, or run outboard gear). Let me know your thoughts of this device in the comments.
