The BEYER M88 is *NOT* a ribbon microphone. The M130 and M160 Are.

Your channel really is the best I have ever come across when it comes to explaining things in an incredibly detailed, yet entertaining and interesting, way. Before this video I knew literally nothing about microphones but now I feel like I actually know stuff about them and can hear the difference between the types of mics you showed in the video. Definitely glad I found your channel. I’m really into technology as well as audio and music production and you’re providing superb content in all the 3 categories. My new favorite channel and looking forward to your upcoming videos!

If we could only jam your section on proximity and stage signal to noise into the skulls of new engineers, the audio world would be a significantly cleaner and considerably less stressful for them. Love this video, Mark. Thank you!

Fantastic stuff, friend! In the podcast space, it seems that all the tips are equipment-related, e.g. shilling for glossy plastic kit. These are great tips for using starter and midrange equipment well, and making the most of it. You did end with some equipment tips, but your focus was still on high-value equipment -- your focal point was on the Superlux and T.Bone SDC's, which is likely the most flexible category of microphone.

You're my go to touchstone when comparing the audio on any other YT site with mic and audio gear reviews. The c414 is beyond my budget...I have a Rode NT1, Sennheiser MK4, Origin and SE2200...is there anything else I should consider. I go through a Behringer UV1...all for YT videos.

Great video Mark…..very informative and you beautifully simplify things but not dumb it down…what mic would you use if you wanted to record a piano? Thanks again.

Hi Mark Thanks for sharing your microphone secrets, what are you thoughts on using Logic for live recording of a full concert ? how would you setup Logic to run for over 2 hours ? I ve seen some feed back about changing the Time signature to 60Bpm and some people also suggest that you change the File format to CAF ?

Amazing Amazing - well researched presentation, from a true practitioner. In the best British tradition. Mark Payne, you are the real deal. Everyone who has an interest in microphones, should listen to this. I must add though, I am a bit peeved with the poor quality of live sound, and I think we need to start moving away from these industry standards microphones to get a higher quality of sound. And it has to start from the source, especially the microphones. Why? The quality of listening tools, headphones, speakers and even live speakers are getting so much better over the years, that the poor quality of these industry standard microphones becomes more apparent, by the day. I think we should continue to challenge ourselves, and improve the quality of live sound, to bring it closer to that of the best quality studio recordings. Much respect to you, for an absolutely outstanding video. Thank you.

ha Thank You Mark, Martial here: I particularly like it because, with the snobbism of this industry equipment, it is brave to do this but necessary I believe. Just like your opinion if you get a chance. All your findings of cheap mics that work just fine are with condensor mics. I find the dynamic M1 Rode ( and I don't support any brand at all ) is very close to a vintage MD421 Mic. LOve it, got many, they go for £40 on ebay sometimes.. they are solid, like the Fz graph response of this mic. In studio , without the bonnet for experimentation, even better... but live it is a solid mic too. Rode M1 check it out.

Hey Mark, I’ve been a pro keyboardist for about 27 years now, just watched your video here and can’t thank you enough for such a lovely presentation.. I’ve not got a clue about mics and your video has opened my eyes 🤣🤣 I play keys and sing in a UK Bon Jovi Tribute Band and alternate what I use when I feel like it 🤣 I wear IEMS on stage over the years I’ve built up a few nice mics, I currently own the following below, but wanted to ask what your thoughts were on an Audio Technica AE5400, to use at home to just sing through while wearing my headphones…. I’m only using a Soundcraft EFX Mixer I have 1 x Heil PR35 1 x Heil PR37 1 x Shure Beta 58 1 x Beyerdynamic M88TG 1 x Sennheiser E965 1 x Audio Technica AE6100

Hey! Good luck with the band. My tribute project was Genesis Visible Touch ... I had to finish on that as we returned back from Covid as I really got too old for the touring and my body did not want to do shows again! I don't know the AE5400 ... looking that up now... Arh! It has the same capsule as the AT4050 which I have used ... these are very good. So you are getting a vocal version of a nice budget-mid range studio condenser. I like the idea. That would be a keeper I think.

Can you recomend the MD 435 for voiceover and Audiobook production? My room isn’t bad, but not fully protected. Because of that, I wanted to go with a dynamic mic. I own already own the Sennheiser e865.

Thanks Mark, this is very instructive and complete 👍 Which well balanced dynamic mic would you recommend around $150 for vocals home-recording ? I sing some Steely Dan, Michael MacDonald, Christopher Cross etc. Thank you, again :)

Hello, any recommendations for a mic that can fight the nasty feedback on live stages? I'm micing my acoustic guitar for live shows and I don't really use any Piezo or transducer. Sharing the stage with 8 musicians and it's a nightmare to organize the speaker monitors which creates all kinds of feedback. A recommendation for a mic that can handle feedbacks (somehow at least) would be appreciated. My budget is around 300 EUR Thank you

Recently I picked up a stereo matched pair of Behringer C2 SDCs for $60 USD and I'm thrilled with their quality. Also the Roswell Pro Audio stuff is all really great as well. I have a pair of the Mini K47s and they've been getting a lot of use. Also, "A moist vocalist"- Hahaha!!!

Which microphone should I use to make me sound like Steve Perry?

Btw, the only difference between e904 and e604 is the enclosure. They use the same capsule, etc. However the stiffer enclosure results to tighter sound and better transient response.

@@MarkPayneAudio Yes. The clip itself isn't the best. I've seen some people switching them to Audix clips and K&M clips. Personally I've switched pretty much to Beyerdynamics TG D35/D57/TG58's. They have a really good price/quality/fun-ratio.

I don’t know about mics, but in a speaker, the coil IS the magnet. The electricity running through the coil creates the magnetic field.

@MarkPayneAudio

Жыл бұрын

Ok well... in a speaker there is a stator (permanent magnet) and an armature (the coil). The coil is not really "the magnet", the magnet surrounding the coil is "the magnet". Yes, as you send a signal to the coil it creates a magnetic field and this interacts with the permanent magnetic field from the stator and the resultant interaction creates movement.
