I thought I would share how I mic up vocals, how I place the mic on my electric guitar, and how I mic up the acoustic guitar.

Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review the Rodecaster Pro II which is the new gold standard for USB mixers. I compare this to the preamp of the Rodecaster Pro 1, demo the processing, test the bluetooth, run an outboard preamp line level, and even record music using the instrument DI.

Today I review the Manley Reference Cardioid, a very popular tube microphone. It's bright, detailed, and articulate, but it unfortunately has a kind of high self noise.

I just wanted to share 5 mistakes that I see a lot of people making when purchasing audio equipment that should be avoided. I know this channel could be used to justify over consumption of audio equipment so I wanted to take a week to advocate for fiscal responsibility. Also, these tips could apply to pretty much any good you're considering purchasing. 00:00 - Intro 00:30 - Tip #1 - Avoid Following Trends 01:39 - Tip #2 - Avoid Impulse Purchases 02:31 - Tip #3 - Avoid Buying The Dream 03:40 - Tip #4 - Avoid Going Into Debt 04:56 - Tip #5 - Avoid Paying Scalpers/Flippers 06:11 - Outro Become a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastage Become a Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvOU-zTlankT-JjN3ZzvuKA/join Subscribe For More Videos: https://www.youtube.com/podcastage?sub_confirmation=1 My YouTube Setup: https://podcastage.com/studio My Favorite XLR Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favxlr My Favorite USB Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favusb Check the Frequently Asked Questions: https://podcastage.com/faq Vote For What You Want Reviewed: https://podcastage.com/vote NOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE): If you purchase an item using an affiliate link, it provides me a small referral fee.

Today I compare two of the most popular voice over microphones on the market, the Neumann TLM103 and the Neumann U87 Ai. I let you hear how they sound for spoken word and a couple of instruments to help determine which of the mics will be right for you and which of these mics you should buy (if you're trying to decide between them obviously).

Today I review a mic that I bought for $16, a mic that I had labeled the worst mic that I have ever used. The CAD U1 seems to be a revised version of the version I reviewed in 2015, and it is a massive improvement over the original. I do think it still has quite a few faults that you'll need to be aware of while using it.

Today I review a relatively affordable clone of the U47, the Warm Audio WA-47 Jr. This has a slight midforward sound with a slower sounding treble range making it sound less detailed and articulate.

It does have it's faults being that it suffers from plosives, sibilance, and handling noise.

Today I review a budget microphone from Sterling made for instrument, the P10. This mic offers a controlled low end which helps avoid muddiness, a very mid forward sound, and then a tame treble and air section. In my tests I found that it did really well on electric guitar, and was workable on acoustic and singing (in a controlled space). I don't necessarily think it's an effective spoken word microphone though but it's not designed to be.

Today I review a mic that uses a 1.25" capsule, the Lauten Audio FC387 Atlantis. This mic has a robust bass and low mids section, and 3 voicings that offer quite different top ends from vintage and dark to modern and articulate. It does suffer from resonance so if you're using it in a situation where you may bump it, you will have to be careful. If you are looking for a mic to use in small areas it may also not be the right choice for you because it's a big ol boy.
