Super Members Mattias Burling Posted September 20, 2016 Super Members Share Posted September 20, 2016 Ive been happy with the Rode Podcaster for quite a few years now. Very nice and "dry" sound. Works great for a booth since its the kind of mic you get close and personal to. And its pickup pattern is very shallow, meaning very little need for soundproofing compared to something like a yeti. It picks up very little reverb. If I was looking at Blue I would be leaning more towards the Spark for VO. Yethi to me is more of a round table and in camera type mic. If you want something more professional a popular Radio Broadcast mic is the Shure SM7B. We have it in all our studios at work and I think they are nice. Then you need to feed it phantom of course and have a proper audio interface. The podcasters and such are quicker to get going with since its USB. andrgl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangenz Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Nathan and Eva use one and it sounds nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ8Njxval-o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Blue Yeti seems to be quite a popular for bloggers and such, if you're looking for a budget but quality one I'd say that is a sensible decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 The other day I saw Gibson had ented the market for easy pro-ish mics kinda like that... http://www.neatmic.com . Looks hip, thought it might be worth mentioning/looking into. Currently I'm expecting the Mikme from Indiegogo (Vienna be representin' yo!). https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mikme-wireless-recording-microphone-audio#/ Although I agree, these are more like podcast mics, not sure if that sorta thing blends well with ADR or what it is you were planning on using it for. I guess there's nothing quite like a soundproofed booth with suspended condenser mic and pop filter close to the mouth... but yeah, that's not always feasable.

majoraxis Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I use the Blue Yeti and it works well. The sound is acceptable with a little post processing in Reaper. Also for consideration, if you have a preamp that can interface with your MacBook is the, Monoprice 600800 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone: http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=600800 It get's a great review here: http://tapeop.com/reviews/gear/96/600800-large-diaphragm-condenser-mic/ Or Monoprice sells a USB version the 600801. http://www.monoprice.com/Product?p_id=600801 You just need to plug your headphones into the MacBook with the 600801 rather and into the Yeti body as with the Yeti. There's is a video on the Monoprice 600800 that lets you hear how it sound and there is also lots of Yeti vs XXX on YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
