Today I review the best budget interface I have tested up through today; the Behringer UMC22. I also provide a fix/solution to audio coming out of one speaker / headphone. If you’re on a tight budget and only need a single XLR input, I absolutely recommend this thing.

Today I review the brand new Aston Stealth, a Dynamic Mic with a Class A preamp built into it. On top of that, it has 4 different voicings for Male or Female voices, guitar, or a Dark mode to emulate a ribbon microphone. The microphone does suffer pretty badly from plosives and the built in capsule shock mount is not too effective at rejecting bumps of the microphone stand. All around it is very versatile and would be a great tool to have in a mic locker. CORRECTION: Correction. At 4:46 I read the incorrect description for the capsule mounting system/internal shock mount. The correct description is: Aston Stealth includes a proprietary internal shock mount design with the capsule suspended in mid-air, completely isolated from the mic chassis, and supported at 3 points by Sorbothane polymer hemispheres.

Today we’re looking at an entry level interface from M-Audio, the M-Track 2x2 C Series. This interface costs around $100, records up to 24-bit 192kHz, has relatively low latency, gain of +60 to +65 dB (guessing), mixing dial to mix between zero latency monitoring and computer playback, and amazing dials.

Today I review the Tonor Pro Vocal Dynamic Microphone. This is a very cheap, budget microphone that comes in under $20.00. This thing doesn’t have the best build quality, and it lacks in the lower frequencies and tends to be a bit overly bright. But it does have excellent off axis rejection, and does a decent job at handling noise.
