    • @llllMills
      @llllMills Před 10 měsíci

      I just grabbed a cheap one on Amazon ($30-$50 range) and it has worked great for the past 2 years. The brand is Puroma if that helps. I will say that if I hit the desk pretty hard, noise travels up through the arm into the mic. I bet that happens with any arm, but I also haven't tried really expensive ones.

    I wouldn't buy a UA Volt 276 if it wasn't supposed to produce music, honestly. I was kind of confused when you compared it to Motu M2 and Focusrite. But then I understood that you're analyzing it on the perspective of vlogging. Because, in the perspective of music production, the fact that the Volt 276 has Universal Audio's vintage preamp circuit and a compressor based on the classic 1176 model built in, makes it incomparable to any basic interface like Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. And this is because those circuits are not only to prevent clipping. Those circuits in the Volt 276, actually, are going to deliver analog saturation to the audio, which is very pleasant to the ears and impossible to achieve with digital processing. So, if you are not a musician, I do not recommend you to buy this interface. Just stick with any normal audio interface and use very low input gain to prevent clipping. In my opinion, the Volt 276 was made for low budget producers, who can't afford to buy analog equipment, but also wants to apply some analog color/saturation to their recordings.

    • @DerRabenbarde

    • @prod.password
      @prod.password Před 11 měsíci

      @@DerRabenbarde Tottally. I agree. However, if you're on low budget, and you also don't actually need the "analoggy" sound of the UA Volt 276, you can use any regular "cheap" digital audio interface, record your voice with low input gain and apply any zero latency digital compressor plugin to smoothen the audio dynamics and then amplify it to the desired volume. You'll basically have the same effect of the UA Volt 276. You can even configure the compressor to be on default in your recording app. You just won't have the analog saturation, which, for general use, is not necessary in my opinion

    I've never seen a windscreen used as a pop filter. They definitely have different materials for different purposes so I'm not sure how much it changed each microphone sonically. This video was super helpful though! The AT2040's we have tend to have a lot of noise bleed in our podcast, so maybe we'll try the 2020

    • @danielpaulson8838
      @danielpaulson8838 Před 6 měsíci

      Agreed. A windscreen does not function as a pop filter unless the air puffs are super light. It made no audible difference in this demonstration. It popped anyway. If you have noise bleed, you may wish to change out to some dynamic mics.

    • @coltconley
      @coltconley Před 4 měsíci

      Yeah 2020 will be worse for you if you are having noise bleed into the mics currently using 2040s. Perhaps some room treatment will help, or positioning your talent differently or something. Dynamic mics will absolutely be better at an open room layout podcast type situation. Look at any of the ones here on CZcams. The Shure SM7B is a heavy hitting hero for a reason. You could try the cheaper Shure SM57, with the extra Shure A2WS locking windscreen, to help with rejection.
