Thanks to Rode for sending this super fun mic and accessories! Pick up yours: amzn.to/2SawM6m
Hey.
This is hands down one of the best reviews of a microphone I've ever watched. Thank you for this video.
Thank you. I'm a hypnotist. I've lived recording on a little Sony voice recorder in the woods but time for me to grow up and use this mic. My friend is an audio engineer. She says I have an amazing voice but have to quit recording in my car or woods. I really appreciate your review!!
An awesome mic demonstration and review video as per usual, Brian! 😆👍👍 As ever, I appreciate you for taking the time to create this content as well as the high level of detail and thoroughness that you go into here. ☺🎧🎤
Cheers to you, my man! 🍻
This is the 4th review I have watched about this mic. The video has been super informative and easy to watch! Im pretty sure this is the mic I will be going for, thanks!
I watched about 8 videos on this mic all the guys you mentioned. I did just buy this mic my first USB mic, but I have many XLR mics which I mostly prefer.
I like that I can pop this in my PC with an audio interface.
Thanks for a great review on this mic.
Amazing review men! Watch around 20 reviews and this is the best one! Thanks for making it!
This is the best Rode NT-USB Mini review watched (compared to other 5-6 video reviews). Very professional, knowledgeable, to the point. Thank you!
This is a great review. I like that you explained the sound terminology as I am not familiar with all of the terms yet and then have an example after was great.
Still deciding on a mic just for Blogging overdubbing/voiceovers. This is the third video review I watched in regards to this mic.
Thanks
Fantastic review - you put tons of work into this!
I got a new rode NT mini mic and was wondering what were the features like noise, exiciter, big bottom and others... Thanks for making it so clear... Keeping your voice natural, sounds great!
This is the second review Ive watched on this mic. I also watched a lot on the Tula mic as well. Haha! Thank you all you peeps who review these things. Its so helpful. I am a podcaster looking for good mic.
Outstanding job in reviewing this Rode NT-USB mini mic. Thanks for doing it. It helped me a lot to decide my next Mic purchase choice.
This was like my 6th review. Glad I decided to watch.
Excellent review..very helpful. I recently purchased one of these and now I understand how to use it properly and what to look out for. Thank you !
This is the best mic. I am using it for last 3 years.
Thank you again for your impressively helpful reviews!
Its the 4th Video I have watched and I would say the most useful one for me. Thanks a lot :-)
Phenomenal review!
can i connect this to rode wireless go 2 transmitter and use it wirelessly directly to my camera?
So you had a little fun making this video,good show. First review
Marvelous review 👍🏻
thanks Brian - despite using two of these for a year picked some new pointers today - thank you - btw really like NT-USB and the new Rode Connect software is great to use with it and enhance levels/rejection etc
Brilliant and informative. Thanks!
Man, you're an absolute knowledge source.
Yeah I usually watch plenty of reviews of the product I'm gonna buy. You got us 😂
“Let’s be honest, you are doing it anyway… Tell me how many [reviews] you’ve already watched before mine.” 😂 You got me there! This is probably the 10th I watched. And I am watching it after I’ve already ordered one.
Great review! Thank you!
Hello ! may i ask Rode NT-USB Mini and zoom h5 which one can make sound clear ?
Wow! Thank you!
Found this very informative, thank you.
Best review about this mice - thanks so much
Thanks for the review, quite informative.
Looking at the Rode NT USB, NT USB Mini and the Blue Yeticaster myself so appreciate your feedback.
Great review! I'll be using the Rode NT-USB Mini with Voicemeeter
Thank you so much for your review!
I love your voice and the way you explain the use of the mic and the software!
Thank you kindly!
Nice work!
For monitoring, what bitrate and hz does the built in 3.5mm output support? Does it support lossless?
5th review. Finally made a decision to buy it 👍thanks
Ty for your time and putting this together.. This is my favorite so far, but also looking at yeti nano... Btw the compressor in the software is actually really good for somebody like me who mumbles and doesn't really have that pronounce way of talking.. I use it on my Ham radios to give me that radio quality
I’ve watched a lot of videos about this mic and if I would’ve watched this one first this would’ve been my last lol very great and informational video!
I watch like 4 or 5 videos and this, believe me Sr, this it's the best video review 😮
Have they added an audio delay to the most recent update?
S tier review. You def earned a follow/subscribe.
What's the pink thing you had on it? I want one instead of the blue.
Excellent and thorough review- I also wanted to ask how well the microphone reduces sibilance sound?
In this range of price , for live streaming, which one do would recommend?
The nt-1 is better in the drawbacks that you mentioned?
Great review. Thank you
This is about my 18th review I have watched about Rode microphones.
Deciding whether to buy the Rode NT Mini, Rode PodMic or the Rode NT1-A.
This is an amazing review going through all the effects. I just ordered it's mic for some amateur singing and hopefully start podcasting. Really appreciate this. Would appreciate if you can do tutorial on recording tracks with this or recommend any good beginner software for Mac interfaces.
Thanks a lot!
On Mac, the best free software is GarageBand. It's a serious piece of software that's very user friendly. I highly recommend Presonus Studio One for getting into professional software.
@@AudioforContentCreators will check it out thanks!
@@AudioforContentCreators Would it be good for singing ? Is the frequency response flat ?
What mics have strong background noise rejection ?
I have one. Great microphone for my purposes which is making CZcams videos and live-streaming. I’m going to try the Rode Connect software. Regarding the audio delay eCamm Live which is the software I use for live-streaming and also offline recording has a audio delay feature so that’s not a issue for me. Adding it to the connect software would be a plus though. Thanks for the review.
You’ll love the RodeConnect software. And yeah, there are lots of ways to get the audio delay, including OBS, eCamm Live, Audio HiJack, etc. But that requires additional routing within the computer to do something that can absolutely be built into the existing RodeConnect software. I’m going to do a video showing people how to work around it, but I hope Rode adds it. There’s literally nothing to it, and no reason it shouldn’t be in any software-based mixer these days, with the popularity of HDMI capture cards and USB mics.
Awesome review Brian. I was wondering, I don’t get a sound output from the microphone, is this because I don’t have an headset connected.
I’ve been battling with this since I got it?
greaaat detailed review, thumbs up, i couldnt find the pause recording option in the software , its really bothering me
thank you for the TIP 05:34
Hi. Great review! Would you please mind to tell me which type of USB-C to USB-C cable should I buy to connect the NT-USB Mini to my Galaxy A52S? I would like to know the characteristics of the SC17 that Rode sells, but the specifications in Rode page are literally none.
Rode make the best gear. And their warranty and service is top notch. That software and DSP are a real winner.
3rd review I’ve watched so far
I watched way too many reviews on this mic but really enjoyed yours. To get around the delay issue, I guess I could run it through the camera (Sony ZV E10) but then I forgo the rode software right?
I'm a noob in the sound and microphone world. Your review is so fun to watch. I don't think it's your intention to be entertaining but it is to me lol.
Thank you for the nice review. I don't have a well-treated room to record with, so I would pass on this mic and probably go for Q2U.
Yes compare it with more similar mics
cant find a cheap boom are any suggestions for this mic
Question: If you have 4 microphones going through Rhode Connect, can you hear everyone speak through headphones / each other channels ?
anybody know what is that? the blue thing on the head of the rode mic?
Anyone know why my NT mini stopped working after installing the required newer firmware (2.1.1)? I have had the exact same issue with 2 NT mini's now. With my first NT mini it stopped working right after installing the firmware, I thought I received a faulty product so I shipped it back to the retailer and received a new one. The exact same thing happened after installing the same firmware update. Anyone know about this issue? I can't seem to find anything about it online.
Rode nt usb mini or at2020 usb X or at2020 usb plus which I choose please sir tell me
Thanks for this video. When I use Rode Connect and export the file, I notice the volume is extremely low even using it at level 32. Any reason for that?
have you solved your issue? have you tried exporting it with -16LuFs in the settings?
24:35 you can add delay in the live streaming software.
4th! review 😂 i loved itttttttttttt
Question - if I enable some effects & settings on windows using the RØDE Connect software. Will it be carried over to other devices, like my PS5 or iPad. Bcz I cannot install any software on those devices to control this mic. Please can you answer???
I am looking forward to use this only on my PS5 for streaming, gaming recording. I saw that this has a NOISE GATE built in which is triggered by the software. And software is only on Windows & Mac. So what I'm thinking is, I'll connect this mic to my windows laptop, enable noise filter & then take this to my PS5/ipad. But i need to know if the setting done on windows software will work on ps5/ipad.
This about the 6th review I’ve watched for this mic. Before I saw yours I was going to buy one today. Can you suggest alternatives? It will be used for podcasting. Not, however in a room like yours. Thanks.
What don't you like about this mic, Paul? Then I can suggest alternatives.
Yours is 2nd video i am watching about this mic :)
One more question - what are you doing to make sure the audio and video on this video review stay in sync ?
great work. I think I noticed a clip at 8;20 am i correct? it sounded like a short out or something. I've had that problem with usb mics before was wondering if this was a thing with this one
Might have been. Problem is that with USB mics you usually can't control the input gain.
Any idea if the Audio Delay feature has been added to the Rode Software... ?
Can you compare this to Sennheiser Profile USB mic???
it would be really sweet if rode found a way to use that push button as a Mute option if connect to the rode connect software... instead of it just being obsolete
I actually thought that from the desk sounded ok (listening on iPad Pro speakers). I wish you boosted the gain and maybe even a slight V curve in eq to test that. Much prefer not having a mic blocking my face for videos
Probably 20th review I am watching.... But one of the best....Also you solved one of the biggest question I had, where would I position this mic so that my face is also visible ? Thanks! 👍
Great!
what mic would you reccomend for a table top mic for podcasting, video content, and even live shows?
There are hundreds of options. Which ones are you considering? What’s your recording room like in terms of acoustic treatment? Do you want a mic in the shot or out? When you say live, what do you mean - will there be an audience? Multiple panelists? Help me out with some more info.
I'm assuming for the meter at the top right of the software one notch means 1 db? if I'm trying to stay in -9 and -12 how the heck do I know?
Go for 3/4 the way up. I wish it had db markings on it too.
can I use any usb c to usb c cable to a MacBook? or an apple usb to c adapter without buying rode branded usb c to usb c? what cable did you use in this vid? thanks
Yes, any USB-C to USB-C cable.
I’m laughing… watched 4 prior… watching yours due to a recommendation from Patrick Tomasso… Subscribed also… thank you for the information on this mic
Which video did Patrick recommend me? I'd love to thank him.
Looking for an usb microfone for homeoffice, would u give this a shot or do you out extra money for mv7
Completely different tonal characteristics. Plus, this is a condenser mic, the MV7 is dynamic. So this mic will be more articulate and sensitive without having your mouth right on the mic. But it will also pick up more room noise. The MV7 is warm and smooth, but you have to eat the mic. It will eliminate most of the room noise.
What kind of plug in the back for earphones? Trs or trrs?
Standard 3.5mm jack. So weird - I filmed that segment and then somehow didn't include it in the edit.
What kind of file is produced when recording using the software? Can I then export that file onto a website? (I want to upload vocal narration samples)... thanks for the detailed video. This was the 2nd video review I have watched on this product 😲
I also feel the grill because Bandrew.
The noise gate basically just lower artificially the gain. So your background noise is lower but so is your voice.
How did you come to that conclusion? ?
What volume do you recommend having the mic set to?
Regardless of mic, your gain should always be set so that your input level is between -9 and -12 db on average.
@@AudioforContentCreators i would love to know how you export and process using this mic. I know this vid is old haha
Your review is great! And this is the 6th one I'm watching for Rode NT, but as you said, it's better to watch as many as possible
Unfortunately, not a lot of female voices in these videos which could help me and other female creators make the best purchase decision
do you remember which headphones you were wearing in this video ?
This is I think the 5th video I watched on the microphone?
Trying to find a microphone that avoids the corporate manager "processed overly clear and dominating" sound. Looking for something that sounds more natiral to my real life voice.
Should I get this or get a atr 2500x?
This.
I have watched at least 12 reviews.
Please suggest me mic for voice over 150 dollars budget
Great review, I have a low budget of £100, this Mic is £88 on Amazon and with an arm its £108. I want to do CZcams videos using OBS. Would you recommend this for my budget?
Probably the best sub 100 USB mic when combined with the Rode Connect software.
@@AudioforContentCreators thank you so much and BTW I don't understand why you don't have more subscribers! I will subscribe with this account and my new one! Will comment so you see it. Thanks so much 🙏🏽
your the first when it comes to audio -
wish my podmic would work with this software. :(
Podmic doesn't have dsp onboard. This software controls the processing built into the mic, which the Podmic doesn't have.
@@AudioforContentCreators good point. I guess rode might make some newer version of the AI-1 xlr interface that has that ability and makes it compatible.
You clearly don't watch enough Podcastage. Where is the box throwing? No stickers? You also did not mention how much this mic will set you back. Great review though :)
I love Bandrew! Had the honor of sharing the virtual stage with him on a livestream panel discussion last year. Super cool guy.
@@AudioforContentCreators I love you both :)
10 th review 😅
where is the mute button?
No idea
The 15th LOL
The 6th 🙂
