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 I review the classic looking Shure Super 55 Deluxe Vocal Microphone. You’ll be getting a very well built mic with a super cardioid polar pattern to help with bleed from other instruments on stage & feedback from the PA, a cut to the low-end to curb the proximity effect, handling noise and plosives, and a presence boost to help your voice sit on top of the mix. Additionally, this thing will make you look like a modern Elvis who is fronting a rockabilly band.

Today I review a budget USB Mic that is the exact same as the NW7000USB, and BCM-1610USB. If you’re looking at any of these, they’re all the same so just buy which ever one is the cheapest.

I'm just curious what the best position is for Lavalier microphones. I've never gotten sound that I'm too thrilled with so I figured I'd try 6 positions and get your feedback.
Listening back to the raw unprocessed sound, I think position 3 is the best sounding. It has the best mix of low end and clarity from the top end without introducing too much room tone like we got in position 4.
Lav mic: Rode lavalier II
Interface: Rode AI-Micro
Gain: ~90%

In today's Q&A episode, I answer questions about moving away from reviewing audio gear to focus on non-audio gear, removing reverb and noise from recordings made in an untreated room, microphones for ghost hunting, why I'm not a full time mic reviewer, how many mics I have, and how I'm doing.
