  • Another promising looking podcast deck.... Will this one buck the trend of latency ridden monitoring and half baked features?
    It is actually $159..... which changes nothing about my score

    These tech developers they need to listen what people want or all their hard work will keep ending up in the bin. Come on guys listen to Bark and get things sorted. Its a shame as visually it looks very nice.

    Not sure if everyone have experience in real studio but in most case , even decent condenser mic really need good mic preamp to showing what it can do . So if you in budget invest decent mic preamp first before buying nice microphone.
    Forget about budget preamp which bundled with cheap devices or interfaces . If you've already have ones , just use dynamic microphone

    Any BBSAR 8 or higher models in this same price range or less?
    So far the best cheap mic I've seen is the Alabs ac88, thoughts on that too?

    • @ObscureMics
      @ObscureMics  Před 3 měsíci

      Not YET on an 8 or above for a generic rodecaster-ish device
      I have not used the ac88, but my experience with alabs mics are not great

    • @ObscureMics
      @ObscureMics  Před 6 měsíci

      I'd say the Tascam us-42 (cheapest)
      Then maybe the ATEN UC8000
      But if you are good with a software controlled experience....the Vocaster Two gets it done

    The title of the video really says it all. The monitoring issue is a dealbreaker, and most of the features are not very useful for many people I don’t imagine. Sound card indeed.

    The Fifine SC3 gaming mixer is much better, but only has one mic preamp. You can add an Rockville RockMix 4 later for $55 to record the two preamps dry then run the output into the line input of the SC3 and you can still use the voice changer, which has 6 settings is is pretty usable. Of course the same applies to the ALABS. The Fifine K669D is one of the best budget mics on the market.

    • @ObscureMics
      @ObscureMics  Před 4 měsíci

      Always a solution! And heck yes on the k669d

      I like the little RockMix interfaces. I wish there were more reviews on those. Not sure if the internals are the same, but definitely the same platform as the little ART mixers.

    I feel like these companies keep trying to sell us cars that the steering wheel won’t turn and the wheels are rims only and no tires and they tell you it’s okay to drive because the rims are still round. 😤

      @@BoobLover4Life FiFine is nowhere near as bad with the latency as the Maono series, which I clearly expressed my frustration with it’s performance in latency and reverb in my review of them. FiFine gets some love because they are ahead of these products when it comes to the reverb/latency, but none of them are amazing products, just the best of the budget gaming/fix mixers. Which still leaves a lot to be desired
