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 Neumann KMS105, one of the best live stage microphones you can buy. This is a super cardioid condenser microphone that extends from 20Hz - 20khz, and provides a very detailed and clear sound while maintaining a smooth and pleasing tone. It also does a admirable job at plosive rejection and handling noise rejection. I also include a comparison to the Audio Technica AT2010, Rode M2, and Shure Beta87a.

Today I review a very versatile small diaphragm condenser that would be a great beginner option. The LCT 140 is relatively affordable, has a built in pad, high pass, and high shelf. The downside is the build quality leaves a bit to be desired and it has a 20dBA self noise, so if you’re recording quiet sound sources, you may need to take that into account.
