Of course it does sound 3500$ better. I don't even know why would he compare a dynamic SM58 & SM7B to to a U87. The SM7 is the mic which michael jackson recorded most of his huge music including "billie jean" and "the way you make me feel". But you can't just have this... If you don't know how to work them out, you can have a 10k Sony C800G and sound like a crappy NW800... If it wouldn't worth, would most of engineers own 20k mics on their locker? Don't even think... Its all fun and stuff but when you get a crappy recording and then comparing with a good recording with good mics, good pre-amps and good processing you'll notice the difference.

For those trash-talking the SM58. 1. It's cheap. 2. It's a dynamic mic as opposed to a condenser; of course it sounds bassy 3. You'll be EQing your vocals anyway, you can correct the mic's bassiness 4. THIS MIC IS STURDY AF. Keep one by your bed in case of Intruders; you can knock a guy out with this thing and it'll still work. 5. VERY LITTLE LEAKAGE. not as apparent in a studio environment, but the 58 is narrowly focused directly in front of it. Won't capture anything from behind it, and very little from the sides

NW-800 - I heard more nasal voice here, but only for a moment. SM58 - The only one I heard an own "color", maybe wide and bassy totally different than the rest I understand it's because it's the only one dynamic. SM7B - Maybe I heard more enfaces on the reverb. (I have some hearing problems so it's what I get, not sure) U87 - More clear, but I don't understand why. that "loud" reverb of SM78 was not there. Is it about the shape of the polar pattern? thas it has some inbuilt filter or EQ? In the end, the sound differs from each other, but it's like different colors, not like one sound cheap, and the other sounds amazing. Maybe cause I'm not in music, or because of my hearing problem, but I won't love/hate a singer from that difference.

Voltage Drop You just copied the joke of the comment DIRECTLY under this one 😂 that’s the funniest part of this all

For those wondering why the SM 58 sounded almost as bad as the NW 800, its because the SM 58 is a dynamic microphone, meaning it is built to be thrown around and damaged a bit without it breaking or losing quality (that's why its the industry standard for live events.) as a result the quality of the sound will be lower than its condenser microphone counterparts for its price. They're also used in live events because they don't pick up as much sound as condenser mics so that you don't get feedback or pick up sounds such as the crowd etc. So if you're looking for a mic for your KZread channel or for recording vocals (instruments are a different kettle of fish), I wouldn't go for the sm 58, there are condenser mics with similar prices that will work way better and have much better audio than what the sm 58 will grant you. The sm 58 is build for people who perform live, not for high quality audio.

when it comes to mic and speakers no one is ever right. EVERYONE has different preferences on what sounds they like. Some people like people to use really bassy mics while others need a mic with a clear high end because they don't want the sounds to be muffled out. Then it matters what speakers they are playing it on because those too have different signatures that will change the output. But ingenreal the more money you put into it the longer it should last and the more it should work... but even then that isn't true with 100+ dollar mics out of box no editing have a electronic hiss.

I'm actually surprised myself. Great for a budget podcast or screencasting/tutorials type vocal.

My first mic looks almost exactly like that. It was an Aukey and had no actual model name. It did it's job and rather well for the price. In fact, for about $35, I got the mic, a mic arm, a shock mount and a cable. I've since moved on to a dynamic Behringer XM8500 for certain vocals and an MXL 440 condenser for others. Those are what my budget allowed. I spent more money on power conditioning and vocal hardware processing than the mic. I can see why doing it the other way around can be better, but I don't really regret anything.

Ahhh. If only every demo video could be this succinct, informational and entertaining. Well done. Thanks!

DJ ALLIOUS but you have to account for processing after recording, an EQ won‘t be enough to fix every problem and they may be amplified by whatever you where planning on doing to achieve the sound you want. Either way I‘d say most beginners will probably notice a greater difference on quality from basic sound treatment, which can often be done without spending money at all.

I'm more impressed with your singing! Forget the microphones....

My take away from this: Dropping an extra $3,000 into your mic won't immediately "fix" your song. It won't be what takes your song from mediocre to a "hit". It's about what is being recorded: the song itself, and the performance.

It is when you compare your cheap voice recording with something like Adele. And you see the difference is worth that much and more when you can charge 5 times more the hour in your studio and people pay it just because they want that mic.

hearing them individually the Neumann sounded the best to me, but in context of the mix the Shure was standing out more and complementing the instrumental. in the song the Neumann didnt stand out that much, it blended in too much with the instrumental due to its balanced and unbiased sound.

Triple Stabber The U87 is "too" perfect in many situations. I like to think of it like image quality. If your picture target is one that contains imperfections, you don't want a camera that will catch so much detail that it amplifies unwanted blemishes. A mic should also catch as much detail as desired, but without also digging into vocal imperfections. Thus it depends on the singer.

It might be the sibilance that's bugging you with the U87. It's probably a new U87ai, which is a little less smooth in the highs than a vintage U87. Not necessarily a bad thing (the highs help with clarity), it just means it might need some de-essing to tame those t's and s's.

The SM58 has a huge Low end- mid range bump. It's also a dynamic mic... idk why you'd be recording with a dynamic over a condenser. Def more of a live performance mic.

Dan Auerbach used a LOT of SM58 The Black Keys’ album El Camino . Bono of U2 : "Get On Your Boots" “The Joshua Tree” and “Achtung Baby” Shure SM58 Björk : "Unravel" SM58 Performance/vibe/producer/studio/energy ...the SM58 can be as incredible as the performance.

That's because the internet and KZread and your computers speakers all got in the way. The U87 exists for a reason (Oddly, the same reasons the SM58 does) It Always sounds the same... (not as each other mind you) U87s are usually attached to a zillion dollars of equipment and used in very well tuned rooms, but people who get paid a sick amount of money. The SM58.. less of all those things.. The '58 was Never designed for and shouldn't really be used for recording if it can be avoided. While he has eliminated most of the variables by using the same everything in his tests, he can't control what happens to the signal once it leaves his computer to us.

Filippo Medas you're not wrong

I get to use a Neumann U87 in college, and it is an incredible microphone. Its versatility and ease of use never cease to amaze me.

i have been watching you on and off for years and i just found out your a Canadian brother.... i feel i have failed you not knowing that ... So much love and respect ( man isolating got me watching a whole bunch of old videos haha ) Be safe man !!

I had my eyes closed for the singing, and here are my thoughts; I'm not a great singer or have any expert opinion. But, when I re-watched the singing with my eyes open , I was only slightly fooled. I didn't expect the 1st would be the gold because when you talked into them it was obvious that it was rough sounding before you spoke in the next one. When you sang, it was hard for me to differentiate the quality. I could tell the sound was changing, but the quality was questionable until you went to the U87. Then it seemed recognizably better. I wasn't sure if couldn't tell the lower end mics apart because your voice is amazing or my ears are just not trained. It could also be my $20 headphones... I just realized you can't do a "Which headphones sound better?" video... To summarize, I think if it sounds good, use it! Or buy whatever microphone makes you happy? :)

the 22 $ micro

Hey! I use the Neewer... I've been using it for a year already and it still does what it has to. It does sound harsh, and maybe it could have a better response in the higher frequencies... But with a bit of saturation and EQ you can solve much of the issues

I'd like to hear how these record the sound from a monitor speaker, and you can play the direct recorded sound as a base or even a frequency sweep for each

Initially it was only hard to tell the difference between the SM7B and the Neumann, but after intense listening I could hear that extra edge in clarity for the Neumann. Great test, great voice!

Is it just me or does anyone else like the sound of the cheapest golden nugget the best. To be fair his voice could sound good through a metal playground tube
