Today I review one of the most popular USB Mics for YouTube, the Blue Yeti Pro. Although it sounds good for music, I don't think it's ideal for most people on youtube. I explain this reasoning in the closing of the video.

I wanted to do a quick comparison between a Large Diaphragm Condenser and a Small Diaphragm Condenser to show the difference in sound because I think it's quite drastic and illustrates why SDC's are so popular on acoustic instruments. What do you think?
I hear the LDC being fuller and more powerful sounding, while the SDC sounds more natural, articulate, and realistic. On acoustic guitar I'd be reaching for the SDC most of the times.

Today we compare the original 90’s/00’s Rode NT1 to the current model of the Rode NT1 to determine if the new model is an improvement over the original or if the vintage model is a secret weapon.

Today I test out Adobe Podcast A.I. to see how it handles mics recorded in untreated spaces, how it handles phone call audio, clipping audio, recordings with too much background noise and a few more things. It's powerful and it has a lot of potential, but I think in it's current iteration it sounds pretty bad.

On episode 126 of the BSP, I talk about Google Duplex potentially being implemented into Data Centers, 3rd party app developers having access & reading through your gmail accounts, Samsung randomly texting photos from your gallery to people in your contact book, and the Australian airports implementing biometric scanning as a proof of concept to roll out countrywide biometric scanning.
Later, I share 4 audio books I’ve loved this year, get corrected about loud sound sources destroying condensers, talk more about the companies fighting California’s new privacy laws, and the possibility of paying for privacy. In the ask bandrew segment I cover what XLR cables I use, then cover the Space Force and if I believe this is leading up to disclosure, and end the podcast by showing an awesome Blue Yeti microphone fail on television.

Today I review the Marantz Professional MPM-2000. This is a perfectly decent sounding mic, but honestly you can get an equivalent or better sounding microphone for cheaper. Additionally, I point out some SHADY information I discovered about Marantz Professional’s specification sheets that makes me not want to recommend their microphones. If you want to ignore all this though, I’ll still add the links below.

Today I review the new dynamic broadcast mic from 512 Audio, the Limelight. If you’re unaware, 512 Audio is a spin off or subsidiary or something of Warm Audio. This is a very ribbon sounding dynamic microphone with a very powerful low and low mid section. It does a good job at background noise rejection and room rejection but suffers in terms of shock rejection.
