Are BUDGET Microphones GOOD ENOUGH? - Blue Spark SL vs. Blue Kiwi Microphone

Great video as always! 🙌🏽
What’s your vocal chain here?

I have the blue kiwi for a long time, with a 1073 preamp and it s really really great

Can you buy the shock mount separately ? I had a completely differen shock mount.

2k on a microphone.... hey bro did you ever consider vocal lessons? because that microphones self-noise is sounding better than you.

can i have the green one when you done

Naw, there is barely a difference even with phones on. The Kiwi has a TAD bit more warmth/low...but I mean a TAD. I recorded a song/music vid with Blue Spark (original orange color) and it sounded fine. Not worth the extra $$$ unless you need a big mic to stand in front of. 🤣

need a desser for this

The Kiwi is leagues better

Its the same

Remember people expensive mics come alive when using high end external mic pres. Put these on a BAE 1073 and you’ll hear a drastic separation between the 2.

I think both really good tbh

As i saw in the most of your videos, you have a Rode NT1-A so i got myself one and im pleased🔥🔥

There’s and absolute difference

Hey boss quick question, so those shock mounts both came with the mics themselves right? Were they about the same size or was the one for the spark smaller

I'm wanting the shock mount specifically but I can't find it anywhere for my older kiwi. Awesome vid!

Im about to upgrade. Is the blue spark SL is way better than at2020?

Correction from the begging: the clip of Justin Bieber is using the Blue Bottle (6 grand). The Blue Kiwi is a solid mic though! I believe Charlie Puth said he recorded his whole first album on it

i hear the differ. but its the same cause the $70 blue sounds good

i contacted sweetwater and I plan on buying a mic from them and gave them your name :)

yo bro how do i get presets u use

Blue spark sl - had a compressed the sound a little bit, I've use it in video games with friends and you can get pretty good sound at this price point, but imao there is better mics at the same price from company Lewitt.

Blue kiwi - has a more clear sound to perfect vocal.
There is a lot microphone in the market that good enough like the kiwi such as AKG C414 powerfull horses series🥵, Souz 023❤, Warm Audio, Audio Technica, Auatian Audio OC 818, Sony C-100, Sennheiser MK8🎻 (don't forget about Neumann, like the U87).

But if you came to find the better one in all of them, you should take your eyes on the legendary Sony C800🤑.

Good enough is never good enough, always experience a mic and upgrade whenever you can afford to. Me personally I purchase a new mic every 2-3 years. Never get complacent with any piece of studio equipment but don’t go broke trying to keep up with trends and hype.

Huge huge différence !

Hello Edward, would you recommend me buying Volt 1 or 2? When is it worth it to have to input channels??

I love my Blue Reactor

I seriously love how short your videos are. No 10 minutes of BS. Just straight to the point. Amazing.

I really wanna know where you can buy that shock mount of the Kiwi???

Good Day. Pls I'd like to ask, what is the Cheapest USB mic that u'll advice someone to buy?

Great video yet again Edward! 😊

Also I’m about to purchase a Tlm 103 & a Apollo solo, what are your thoughts on me purchasing this setup?? Thanks:)

Nice sir thanks please can do beriger b2 pro vs rode nta2

Always love these videos

I never knew how much I needed to see this comparison. Keep the videos coming Ed, love from South Africa.

Both microphones sounded great.
Listening with your eyes closed, you can hardly tell the difference
Dope content as usual

The choice of microphones now is amazing.
"budget" microphones sound amazing compared to decades ago.
There is still a reason why others cost 1000's and it isn't entirely the name (but you do pay for that).

Biggest difference I can notice would be in the low and in the mids to the benefit of the kiwi. I do love the spark tho. Cut a lotta records w/ the spark in my day
