Today, I am reviewing a budget dynamic microphone from Shure that is ideal for live vocals. I do not think it provides high enough quality for podcasts, voice overs, lets plays, commentaries, etc.

Today we’re looking at an awesome travel interface that records HD (24-bit 96kHz) to USB or Lightning (iOS), all for $100, the IK Multimedia iRig Pre HD. This thing also offers low latency, approximately +60dB of gain, 0 latency monitoring, and +48v of phantom power!

In this video I review the SF-910. A great sounding budget microphone for under $10. It has an on/off switch, a permanently attached 3.5mm jack, and that's about it. This is a no frills microphone that is a great option for beginners when paired with a USB Soundcard.

Today I review my new favorite broadcast condenser microphone, the Earthwork Ethos. This is an expensive mic, but it offers a powerful low-end without being muddy, a clear and detailed mid section without sound scooped, and an extended and open top-end without sounding over-boosted or artificial. It also rejects plosives extremely well handles handling noise like a champ. It’s expensive, but hacking shoot am I impressed by this thing.

Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review the new Tascam Mixcast 4 which is a podcasting console similar to the Rodecaster Pro. I compare the preamp to the Rodecaster Pro 1 to see if there's a significant difference or not, test the SM7b on this interface, and walk through all the processing, and software.

Today I review a budget condenser microphone, the Behringer SB 78A. This is a handheld stage condenser mic that can be used on stage, or in your studio. It has a high pass filter, and a sensitivity of -48dB. Overall it’s a great budget option for someone looking to dip their toe into condensers for live environments or for podcasting.
