    Thank you. I have been using a Blue Snowball on my videos for a while, and I sing in some of my videos, so I just got a Rode Podmic USB and appreciate you doing your singing too. I am a woman as well, and when I am singing the high notes I was having problems with the Snowball. It may have been my gain settings. I will be playing around with the settings, so appreciate your explanation. God bless.

    Oh yes the Snowball doesn't handle the top end all that well, and will pickup a lot more background noise than the Rode PodMic. I'm excited for you to use the new microphone for your singing. Definitely fiddle with the DSP settings. I gave a good run down review of the PodMic too if you need a bit more info about it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mY2uzKd6cb3aqLA.html

    Anyone know why every time I turn the mic on, I have to readjust the volume knob in the pack of the rode pod mic usb? Seems with settings stored on the mic, the volume to the headphones would be as well? Am i missing something?

    Hii youtuber I have just purchased a Rode PodMic USB and SC19 cable. However, when I connect it to my iPhone 11, there is no recorded sound. everything is muted. I tried it on an iPhone 7+ as well, but the same issue occurred. I've made sure the green light is on. Feeling frustrated, I tried reconnecting the SC19 cable, but still couldn't record any sound. I've been at it for 5 hours but still not working. I've searched for tutorials on tiktok, but the sound doesn't come out, maybe because it's connected to the SC19 cable. When I unplug the SC19 cable, the sound on tiktok works again. Is there a step I missed in using this PodMic?

    Around 3:20 you can see there that I click on and off the "active" section in the DSP settings. That will toggle between compression on and off.

    Thanks for this! I’ve watched some videos on this mic but I really needed a female perspective. It was a toss btwn this one and the mv7. I don’t like how the mv7 is muffled a bit and the pop sounds. I don’t know much about audio but learning. I feel like this rode mic maybe would of been a better choice. I do use xlr and an audio interface and I do post production tweaks. I love how you explained the compression because although I use it I wasn’t totally sure what it does. I’ve watched a lot of male overviews on mics but they recommend settings and don’t really explain properly. I’m on the fence whether I should buy this one and try. I’m getting a collection now tho but I need the right mic. I have the pd400x as-well, good mic. But not one has really given me that yes this is the one yet.

    Ah yes - a couple of people have mentioned they have the pd400x. I'm yet to try that one out! It sounded similar from what I could tell to the Rode PodMic, but lacked as much depth. Depends what your use case is though for sure!

    Hmm that is odd, though might not be surprising. Beacn create might want you to use the Beacn microphone? I haven't tried that one out yet! I'll have to add it to the review list.
