Have you used these devices? What has your experience been? Would you recommend?
Just got the bundle a week ago.
The Good:
Solid product for the price, good quality,
Feels and looks more premium for that price
Does basically what it's supposed to, quite well actually.
The Bad:
You get only what you paid for
Very limited customization options, everything is tied to the hardware, no software
For two products that are supposed to work together, they don't include the cable to actually connect them (XLR), you'll have to buy one separately so you're not using it out of the box.
Can't connect anything USB-c without a dongle (I have a USB-C headset), except the PC.
Can't have separate faders (discord, music, etc)
Verdict: Good entry-level product for your first foray into streaming/recording/podcasting etc. But I'd look into something else if you want more features.
Hope this helps someone. :)
Appreciate your effort on this, seems like we have some great feedback to work on for future products.
I appreciate the opportunity! Hope to see some great things from y’all in the future!
I appreciate the video! As you mentioned at the end, I'm someone completely new to any sort of audio recording/capture, so an inexpensive, easy-to-use mixer is useful to me to both get a feel for it, and isn't such of a bite if I end up not sticking with it long-term (and having had no other prior equipment haha)
the highlight reel at the beginning was dope dude!
Hell yeah man thank you!
Quick question, did you have issues pertaining the AM8's included USB type C? Some are having issues regarding it
Setting inappropriate audio levels on bad mic distance, calls the audio is clipping, bro that´s not Elgato Wave XLR, that comes with clip guard, you have to set your levels manualy, get a good proximity distance to the microphone and put compressor not to peak your levels. The thing you said in the video is dumb. You can literaly clip any audio device or interface if you set them inproperly. No matter if the cost is 100$ or 1000$, the only difference is in the quality of the sound when it gets distorted and how much.
In this video I show a direct comparison when using the AM8 as well as the MV7. Using the SC3 gives the same result. No matter how much Input Gain I give it on the Fader.
This problem does not exist when having either microphone routed via the Wave XLR. That’s the whole point. I can speak louder and directly into the microphones and it does NOT result in clipping the way it does on the SC3.
I explained this issue to FIFINE themselves and I did what they suggested, and it made no difference. If there is a workaround, I was not aware of it. And with that said, a normal consumer shouldn’t have to find some hidden work around in order for their new PLUG AND PLAY system to work appropriately.
@@BuckeyePlays I see, that´s the missunderstanding on the whole point then, I thought that it was set improperly on the gain, that´s why the clipping accured and didn´t hink about the SC3 having issue on maintaining good signal even with lower gain. My bad, sorry for my missunderstanding good sir!
well can i buy this and use it on my dual pc setup ?
Via Line out with a 3.5 to 3.5 cord - can I connect to a Sony A7m4 camera?
Bro if you put your lips up against ANY mic hooked up to ANY interface and maintain level that you would at safe distance you’re gonna clip. You find a distance and level that works and proceed, when you’re trying to make something clip, you’ll most likely succeed. Good quality vid, but where you try to make a device fail you can do so, no matter what you’ve paid for it, as you have here.
your intro music is loud af holy shit lol
😂
Looks like a fun toy, but it isn't a $50 fun toy.. it's more like a $20 fun toy. Might pick one up in a bargain-bin in a year or two.
Yeah unfortunately just for the price and what you get, for a lot of people I think they would be better off going up in price a little bit.
