"Hive Mind" is an interesting description. More so "POS" for a microphone that was introduced in 1966 and that has probably outsold any similar mic by huge ratios. So, I get that you don't like it. So not trying to convince you otherwise, just pointing out a common selection bias. As a...

Nugen makes a plugin called AB Assist. It will randomly AB two mixes.

One thing that may affect this test is what kind of account and device you listen on with Spotify.

What do they call a drummer that broke up with his girlfriend? Homeless.

The 2010 has the same 16mm capsule as the side address 2020. Frequency response is hyped in the 2010 starting about 2k around +5db vs the 2020 that rises subtlety +1-2db starting at 5k. If you like the 2020, you might like a brighter 2010 but it'll be more mid forward. How's the 2020 on...

And another preamp noise comparison chart with the AudioBox on the bottom by a significant amount.

In a couple of reviews I found that did testing, it doesn't appear to be an impressive unit. That figure might be high depending as the testing was done with a SM7B. This device doesn't particularly like being pushed. Here is a graph showing the low frequency distortion from a different...

Here is the video. I also found another reviewer that had issues with noise until it warmed up then tested fine. Not sure it is related. Both disliked the low output of the headphone section. It's an online review, grain of salt and all that. Motu M2 Review

This is where the old guy tells stories from "back in the day". We were recording a three-night concert series with a group that did lush vocal harmonies. One of the singer's was just getting over a cold and her unusually deep voice was, let's say, extra burly. We had a few days for set up...

I saw the video, I'm not that curious. I have a couple, the Beyer and Presonus. Not feeling any sort of itch on that one.

What's that old expression, it's not the destination but the journey? Hard to watch this guy and not learn a few tricks. Don't have to agree with the outcome. A few weeks back he did a long back and fourth with another engineer on loudness vs dynamics. With my background, I'm a big dynamics...

I kind of figured but the main point is that safety and fitness for purpose all depends on the person doing the work.

You might just like this guy's channel. Been following for a while and he is thorough with the technical side of things. Very, very different from the old school days.

Ordered one on Thursday for $17.35. Curiosity on the cheap.

I knew the Steinberg was pretty noisy but the M2 in this comparison surprised me.
