Nice vid! Thanks for reviewing it! We'd appreciate your honest suggestions. We do also receive some same mute button feedback about it. We are considering it and trying to improve in the future products. As for the loose knobs for adjusting the mic angle, it may be because of the individual problem accessories. We will also report to the team. Thanks again!

6:01 mommy look, I'm on TV!!! Would love a video about mic EQs. I was looking into that topic actually and couldn't find any useful (or easy to follow) guides for my Fifine K669B. Keep it up!

I'm going to put it on my list :) I actually already made a whooollle bunch of videos about creating content and how to get the most out of your equipment but concepts like those aren't very search friendly and tend to not get a lot of views

What a great video! I enjoyed it, didn't skip a sec.. And ta da~ I bought it.. Thanks to you xD

Important comment + points If u read all of it Meet the Medic [The video starts with a peaceful, mountainous background. All is calm until sudden rockets and explosions light up the scene. The RED Scout and the RED Demoman hurriedly escape from the chaos behind them. The two mercenaries are badly hurt, with the Demoman on a wheelchair with a broken arm and a cast on his head. The Scout has casts on his torso.] Scout: "Move, Cyclops, move! Come on, come on, almost- [Demoman wheels his wheelchair and Scout runs. They are making ground when the Scout gets hit by a rocket.] [The Scout falls, grunting in pain. He then looks behind him to see rockets aiming at him.] Scout: "Woah, who the FU-!" [He then gets hit by the three missiles. The Scout screams as the rockets fling him onto the Medic's glass wall. He faceplants and breaks the glass. One of Medic's doves looks at Scout. He speaks feebly.] "Medic.." ["Meet the Medic" text appears] [The Scout falls slowly from the window, the camera then zooms out onto the RED Medic's surgery on the RED Heavy.] Heavy: "[Laughing loudly.]" Medic:"When the patient woke up, his skeleton is missing, and the Doctor was never heard from again!" [Medic laughs loudly alone. Half a second later, Heavy laughs with him as he slaps his hand on a tray knocking away the tools on it.] Medic: "Anyway, that's how I lost my medical license. [He chuckles, and a dove bursts out of Heavy's chest. He scolds the bird.] "Archimedes, no! It's filthy in there!" [He wipes his hand on his vest and looks at Heavy for a second, who looks a tad offended,] "Ugh, birds." [He chuckles and grabs the Heavy's heart.] Medic: "Now, most hearts couldn't withstand this voltage, [He places the heart onto an Über heart attachment and moves toward his built in Medigun.] but I'm very certain your heart-" [Heavy's heart explodes, catching the Medic off guard. One of the heart's remains knock Archimedes off their perch.] Heavy: "What was noise?" Medic: "The sound of progress my friend." [Medic goes to his fridge as the crescendo of "A Little Heart to Heart" plays. The fridge contains a Sandvich, the RED Engineer's beer, and three hearts. The heart in the middle is labeled "Loch Ness Hamster." The one on the right is a "Mega Baboon."] Medic: "Ja, Perfect!" [Medic takes the "Mega Baboon," revealing a BLU Spy's head being connected to a electrical battery.] BLU Spy Head: "Kill Me." Medic: [Quietly.] "Later." [Closes fridge.] Medic: "Where was I? Ah, There we go..." [Sticks heart onto a voltage meter. Places it to where the Medigun is pointing and the heart beats faster and glows red.] Medic: Come on, come on. [The violin/string instrument in background gets faster in sync with the heart.] Medic: "[Begins laughing evilly.]" Heavy: "Ha... ha... ha..." [Looks worried.] [A flash of light covers the screen.] Medic: "[Continues laughing evilly. But he stops and looks away from the sudden bright light.]" [Archimedes flies back to his post with the other doves] [The big heart is Übercharged, as it glows red with red-orange glows that look like silhouette cracks flowing.] Medic: "Oh, that looks good. Very nice there!" [Drops heart into Heavy's chest cavity.] Heavy: "Should I be awake for this?" Medic: "Heh, well, no. But, as long as you are could you open your rib cage for me? I can't seem to-" [As Medic and Heavy hold open Heavy's rib cage, they hear a loud crack and Heavy screams and reveals a broken rib in his hand.] Heavy: "[Screams in pain.]" Medic: "Aww, don't be such a baby. Ribs grow back!" [Medic takes the rib and throws it away. Turns around and talks to Archimedes.] Medic: [Whispering] "No they don't." [Archimedes is puzzled. He eventually flies away.] [Medic takes the mounted Medigun and brings it closer to Heavy. His organs and guts all regenerate including his shirt and vest. Heavy smiles. There is a faint red glow in Heavy's chest, but it fades quickly.] Heavy: [Takes a deep breath.] "What happens now?" Medic: "Now?" [Chuckles while lifting Heavy up by the hands.] "Let's go practice medicine." [As Medic dresses up and equips his tools, a drum plays in the background. He comes out of a door with shining light behind him and his doves flying out. The TF2 Soundtrack, MEDIC!, starts with the choir harp.] [As Medic comes out, Heavy runs forward. Demoman rushes towards Medic in a wheelchair and wrapped in bandages. The other RED mercenaries are either hiding or hurt badly. Scout is on the ground, trying to stand, while Engineer and Sniper are hiding behind a rock. A wave of BLU Soldiers rushes toward them in the background.] Demoman: "MEDIC!" [The Medic flinches as the Demoman gets hit with a rocket sending him flying and landing near Medic. Medic pushes his glasses up and flips a switch on the Medigun, then aims it at Demoman healing him. Demoman gets up whilst removing his cast and bandages. He then quickly nods at Medic and heads back towards battle. Medic spots Scout on the ground and goes to heal him as well. Scout gets off the ground, healing his (most likely broken) nose, his black eye, and he regrows a broken tooth.] Scout: "Yeah! Woo hoo!" [Scout springs back up grabbing his baseball bat and runs into the battlefield past the Heavy. He hits a BLU Soldier with it around a corner.] Scout: "Oh, yeah!" [Heavy is hiding behind a rock with an army of BLU Soldiers wearing different cosmetics advancing towards him.] Heavy: [Yelling] "Doctor! Are you sure this will work?" Medic: [Yelling] "[Laughs maniacally.] I have no idea!" [Medic flips a few switches on his Medigun revealing a volt meter that goes to Übercharge. He aims it at Heavy while he gets out of cover.] Heavy: "[Yells with glee. He is enjoying the Übercharge's effects.]" [Heavy turns red with a glassy/shiny texture as his eyes turn yellow. The camera shows his heart pumping fast and is redder than usual.] [Heavy walks towards the army shooting his minigun. A couple of rockets hit him and covers the screen in smoke.] [But the Heavy walks forward unharmed in his Übercharged state.] Heavy,: "[Laughs loudly.] I am bullet-proof!" [Heavy and Medic walk forwards while it shows Sniper and Engineer hiding behind a rock showing surprise to Heavy's invincibility. Medic and Heavy both advance while Heavy mows down the enemy Soldiers whilst absorbing their rockets.] [It then shows the bodies of the dead Soldiers trying to stop the Heavy and Medic to no avail.] [Heavy and Medic climb a mound of corpses, Heavy specifically stepping on a Soldier wearing the cosmetic 'Armored Authority'.] [The music crescendos as they climb up and it keeps its pitch when they reach the top. At the top Medic is posing in front of a glowing light while Heavy is slightly below him and to the right of the screen mowing down more enemies. Medic removes his beam from Heavy, but he is still Übercharged. Medic's doves fly around the Medic and Heavy's triumph.] [Team Fortress 2 ending flourish music plays.] [Cut to most of the team sitting outside of Medic's Lab, waiting for the Übercharge implant. The Engineer is playing his guitar quietly. The Spy is checking the time, The Soldier is standing at attention while the Demoman drinks from his bottle. The Pyro is reading something while flicking their lighter, and the Sniper is sleeping.] [Medic is muttering something inside the room.] Scout: [Off camera.] "Hey, thanks Doc." [The ticket counter outside the Lab goes from one to two as Scout pushes open the door, his chest glowing red with the new Übercharge implant. Medic is seen in the room cleaning the chair.] Scout: Oh, man! You would not believe-" [He pauses briefly,] "-how much this hurts." [Something inside Scout's chest coos like a dove. Scout looks down at his chest in confusion.] Medic: Archimedes? Gaming horse 🐴🐴🐴🐴🎮🎮

hello in the video you talked about the opportunity to connect headphones to the microphone so you can hear your own voice in the headphones in real time. In addition to your own voice in the headphones you can also hear the audio of the video games/music I'm playing or just the mic audio?

SOLD!

Oh, and by the way, here's an idea for a video: Replacing all of the annoying motherboard/RGB/fan controlling software with light and free apps like OpenRGB, Fan Control, Onboard Memory Manager (G Hub replacement), and maybe throw the new Nvidia beta app in there. Once you set everything up - it works like a dream. OpenRGB can be a little tricky with all the plugins and stuff, but the admins on Discord are very friendly and helpful

So this actually plays into a video I've had planned for a little bit. I'm going to be doing a review of the Hyte y60 (its literally been sitting in the back of my room for like 3 months) and I'm installing all the modular Lian li fans inside of it. Would be a perfect subsection for the video.

Hi! Would you recommend for playing music (vocal and guitar)

@TheRageAcademy

3 ай бұрын

I think this would be a good starter mic for guitar and vocals, especially if you don’t have a preamp yet

does any of you know which boom arm i should get? i have the fifine am8 and want to get a boom arm but i dont want it to look cheap or anything, also i want to hide the cables in the boom arm but im worried that if i get a boom arm that is like this that my microphone would be too light or something.

Check out the Elgato book arm. I think that’s what you’re looking for. You can hide cables in it. It’s around $100

Hi, could you do a short tutorial on the am8 effects? My mic arrives soon and i wanna sound this great 06:10 --- 06:18

Sure thing man. What was your use case? Are you recording voice overs or using it for stream?

why not used the XLR for the fifine mic test? i think it would be much better then the usb one

In hindsight, I should have included it. It got lost in the sauce putting the video together. Thanks for the criticism. In the future, I will be better.

That’s a good question. I think you can but varies setup to setup. Using XLR and plugging in the usb c at the same time could add electrical noise into the feed

I'd probably go AM8. I haven't tried the Q2U but it looks like a snowball directional mic. Which isn't horrible but if it's a SM58 clone (which it looks like) then the microphone has to be pretty close to your face to get a decent sound

why mine sounds so quiet. I have it on 100% both knob and sound setting but still so low. is it normal?

Check your windows microphone settings. Type “sound settings” into windows search. Then at the bottom under “advanced”, click “more sound settings”. This will pull up a white box window Click the “recording” tab at the top. Right click on the Fifine am8 microphone. Click “properties”. This will bring up a new window. Click the “levels” tab. Make sure the volume is at 100% This may help

I recently bought the blue yeti and I am playing on a PS five but I have a ton of background noise and no way to adjust it besides the gain knob witch is already at lowest setting does the AM8 Work well with the PS five in that regard

Sounds like them threads might need some teflon tape, just an old oilfield hand speaking from experience
