Dynamic vs Condenser Microphones | What's The Difference?

The Shure Condenser sounds so GOOD!

Your audio from the re20 sounds great, could you show us what processing (eq/compression etc) you do for your audio production?

Your price is of these mics are ridiculous You've listed I got a microphone that sounds just as good for 40 bucks and it came with a stand and a pop filter and a cable and it even has a volume knob on it and a echo maybe the difference in quality maybe possibly could be that mine is a USB cable and not a MIDI cable

What microphone would you recommend for amateur radio pls

How are you able to get such clarity in your audio? No background noise, etc.. just clear radio quality voice

Bro im so stupid gime adivese on my sound??? I so need help... Recomendation Please

Yes audiotechnica very good microphones I'm looking now for at4040 for speaker recording, he a little better in the low frequencies than 2020

Very good recording quality thank you, like

nice love it

It's the sensitivity roll off with distance

Полное ощущение, что парень русский.

very well done thanks

I have a humble Xonar X5 audio interface that allows me to record with studio quality and it only has one mic input which is for dynamic ones. I have it as a backup in case I have a problem with my Blue Yetti. The Blue Yetti is a budget condenser microphone. Since I only record one source, i.e. my voice, I use the cardioid setting with minimum gain and dicreased input on the so that I have to speak closer to the microphone and louder as well. Thus, I diminish background noise and ambient reverberation. If I choose to use a dynamic microphone, I will probably try to reproduce these settings. Thanks for this video.

Respected sir,
Your videos are really helpful for me...
Thanks
Love from INDIA❤❤

You're voice doesn't match your face you look like a kid and your voice adults😮😮

चड्डी निकली नहीं पर टट्टी निकल गई कंगना की..उरे बाबा..चड्डी में करदी छी

is there a mic that rejects creaky-voice? 😝

Any good mic for Thunder Strom recording ?

Well, after watching this I decided that the most important factors for me are two: the look and the cost. 😊

Excellent Video. I now know more.

This was great presentation thank you! I still have no clue which to get because I'm still learning. But going to watch this a couple more times. I wish I could give 2 thumbs up

wasn't a microphone just a tiny speaker?

Great video but I can't afford those microphones

Thanks 🤗

Oof yeah I would’ve been hurting for you if you dropped the Austrian… $2K later

You have to try the shoes on to see if they fit! Great video! I wish I could try before I buy.

Your voice does not match to your face 🙂

Or is the sm58 indestructable? I found one that just was making pop sounds. To be fair, it was covered with yellow grime and probably was 20+ years old

Yours seems to work very well and yield an excellent sound

Seems like condenser elements have been getting larger and larger through the years. If smaller elements have less mass, what’s the benefit of going larger?

I'm a singer songwriter who is just getting more into recording my own music, and this was extremely helpful info. Thank you so much!

This video is so helpful! I can't thank you enough 🔥

You have excellent voice.

Durability is Key when performing live every weekend. I have an old SM58 ,I say old cause I bought it used 30 years ago and it is my workhorse... also it has more output than the new ones , yes lot more . I really dont know how old it is but it's a Bad Ass .... Good Show 👍

What is with the ending?

what is your opinion about the MXL 990 condenser microphone?

I like low darker tones and to seat relatively far from the mic.
Which mic is better for this ?

Great mic. Sm58.

I'm interested in getting a mic for home recording, mostly for metal vocals and recording acoustic/classical guitar. I was looking at the at2020, however, I have seen the shure sm75 and shure sm58 used for around $80 which in my opinion are amazing steals. However, I am not 100% sure my interface (UAD volt 1) can properly utilize the shure mic's. Is it true that dynamic mic's require more gain in general than condenser mics would? For example, my volt 1 only has a max gain of 55dB, but both the shure sm57/58 require more than this, but the at2020 only requires about 37dB i think..?

I think I choose the mic base on the song I want to sing and the clarity of my voice on the song. I sound a bit muffled on the sm7b I sound great on the OC16. I have a SA87i coming hopefully I sound great on that. I like the Sm7b but I really have to sing loud into for it to sound good I don’t think I want to be loud because I am renting but the OC16 does a great job of me not having to sing so loud.

I am pretty experienced with audio engineering, just came for a recap / see if I forgot anything or could learn anything new and I always love a great comparison video. This was probably the actual best video for explaining the differences on a fundamental level and showing the differences in a nuanced way. I'm sure many people listening through their phone speakers won't hear much of a difference but I just hope they can understand that this is a different use of different microphones than usual. It really matters a lot what you start with when recording music that will then be post editted and cleaned up. You may only hear that one mic sounds obviously crisper here... clearly has much more audible super high treble... but that may sound obviously better in this context... but that may not be what you want to use on a dark folk acoustic song snare drum... for example. OR it may be exactly what you want on it to liven it up without changing the magical guitar tone or whatever. It's incredibly important what the intent is. And it's so so important to inform beginners that when in doubt... always record higher fidelity than you may think you need. It is much... much easier to degrade a sound or change a sound to a darker or less dynamic sound than it is to feign or edit something to be "better" than what was captured. If you effectively reduce or eliminate as much mixing as possible when in the "micing" phase... you have done your job well. Mic choice and placement and knowing the intent could result in you barely needing to do anything in the mixing stage if you nail it.

Of course that's almost never the case... but you can get damn good to the point where you only need to do basic mixing later like basic volume or low end roll off for plosives etc. The better it is at the source... is the less of a chance of fucking it up later.

This is probably the best explanation of anything I have ever heard. I might know too much about microphones now. 😂

Thank you very much for the info your tutorials always very helpful
Good bless you

So basically, only perform a mic drop when you've got a Dynamic mic

I really love the sound on the Rode NT1-A! Do you have any other recommendations before I make a purchase?

well done young man! well articulated and information packed... valuable information packed.

Thank you very much for this.

Great video!

This video contains a lot of gems!!✨🙏🏽
