Hi guys,
I currently use a Rode Broadcaster condenser microphone. I saw reviews on it (especially the Booth Junkie review), and it was really good. I use it for voiceover type stuff (linked below) for my Youtube. I don't show my face, so having large microphones or pop filters aren't a problem. I knew a lot of radio stations use this microphone and as I wanted a professional radio type setup, whilst being inexpensive, I went with the Rode. My voice and delivery probably isn't great but that I can't change I suppose.
I've attached the sample below. I'm guessing there's plosives so I've just ordered a Rode WS2 windshield to help with that. I know it's processed (I assume radio stations do that to give that radio sound?). I really want a full and wholesome sound - as far as it is possible with my voice (I know it's a limiting factor of course). If anyone could suggest how to improve my setup? I use the reaper plugins when I record to add bass and compression when I record.
I did get them to send me a Sennheiser Mk416 to try, which sounded better, slightly more brighter and natural but it wasn't worth the price for me.
So, I'm not sure if it's my setup or what that isn't giving me the 'full' voice other people tend to get with this microphone. Is there another microphone you would suggest, or can I adjust my setup to do better with my current mic?
Thanks
