I'm a Microphone Snob: A Review of The Sound Quality of My Videos Through the Years

Introduction

I never thought Id say this, but yes, have become a microphone snob. But beware, am not talking about a $1000 mic, nope, its one of the cheapest mic Ive bought and I love it!! Lets compare sound quality!! using various mics.

This video will be filed under Branding As you may now, Ive been making YouTube, Udemy, and other content for years on data science and machine learning Scroll through catalog --show YT-- I think Im nearing 200 videos and Ive been through a few microphones. I started out with an older 2015 MacBook Pro simply using its built-in camera and microphone. I remember those days fondly, I did everything in QuickTime! Yikes... That didnt work for long - because quick time offered very little control, but viewers complained about the overwhelming keyboard sounds and clicks during my walkthroughs. So then I moved to a Mini Lavalier Lapel Omnidirectional Condenser used it for years - its powerless - loved it but it sounds a little hollow - like well see in a minute. Eventually got a Blue Yeti USB Microphone - but it never took to me - ts still in the US being in Barcelona Spain right now. Then I started using the camera and mic built into my 2018 mac book pro - but it sounded too echoey and the camera on the new mac book pros is worse than the 2015s due to their new ultra-thin lid design. So then I started filming with my iPhone, and thats what am using now. Way better image quality than the mac. So just recently got this Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB Cardioid Dynamic USB/XLR Microphone And I absolutely love it! I did get an arm to hold it up and that makes life easier than the stand I had for the Yeti. The main reason I looked for a replacement is that am in a really noisy office, take a look. -- show clip So this Cardioid microphone only picks up sound that is super close! Wow, just what I needed. For fun, Ill walk you through 4 microphones. Ill start with a raw - MacBook pro-2018 sound - Mini Lavalier Lapel Omnidirectional Condenser - iPhone x microphone - and back to the Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB Cardioid Dynamic See what I mean??? Wow, am in love and its well under $100! Catch you next time. CATEGORY:Career
