On an unrelated note. I see you are using a condensor microphone af quite a distance. You have to bump the gain a lot in order to be understood, but with condensor mics that means you will pick up a lot of noise. You can clearly hear the reflections of your voice in the room which has a negative impact on your sound quality.

You can either treat the room with sound panelling, put the mic a lot closer so you can lower the gain, but ideally you’d get a dynamic microphone. Dynamic microphones are less likely to pick up reflections and other noise, but you still have to have it up close. It is also less work than treating a room such as you were in in the video I saw.

Lately I’ve been deep diving into microphones and after hours of investigations this is what I’ve learned.

Suggestions: the Fduce sl40 if you want a budget option or the deity vo-7u for a bit higher end or a shure sm7b for yet higher end. A fifine k688 is also a good option.




I actually did get sound panels for my room, but I apparently need more, because they did a pretty disappointing job. I also need a mic arm that doesn't spontaneously collapse when I move it closer to my face. (Don't buy Blue Yeti's mic arm.)

I'll definitely consider a dynamic microphone for my next big on-stream project, whenever that happens. (I have no idea when it will happen.)
