In this video, I provide 3 full audio recording setups under $150 budget. With this limited budget we’re not able to get top tier gear, but luckily there is plenty of affordable and budget gear that performs extremely well. With any of these setups you should be able to get very workable recordings for voice over, podcasts, streaming, gaming, or music demos.

In today's casual Friday video I heard Jacob Collier talking about mics in his recent breakdown of A Christmas Song, and had to make a video on it. So that's what I'm doing, making a video on some microphone's that Jacob Collier uses because I think it's interesting and we can learn something from it.

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.
