I'm going to be doing male voice overs with my Blue Blueberry mic and I need a great pre amp. It'll be going into a RME Babyface. I'm stuck between the Warm Audio WA12 and the Golden Age Pre73. Which of these would you guys recommend? Since both the Babyface and Blueberry are transparent, I'd...

Currently, my ZOOM H6 gets WAY too noisy past the 7 notch mark on the gain dial. Up till 1-6, it's great! But once it hits 7 and above, it gets so darn noisy it's almost unusable. Would getting the Cloudlifter, plugging it into my MKH 416 and ZOOM H6 work? Or would it not be compatible...

I have to buy an XLR cable for recording two things: 1. In a studio for voiceovers and 2. For recording on set film audio. However, I don't know which of these to get. Both are very highly reviewed and both have VERY different price points. The cables in question: Mogami Gold Studio 15...

I got an Audio Technica 4047 mic and an Audio Technica 4053B mic. One is much longer than the other one but they cost about the same. I set both up to record dialogue between two people for a video I was shooting and the 4053B sounded MUCH better than the 4047. The 4047 sounded like I was in a...

I'll be recording indoor dialogue this weekend and I wanted to get your thoughts. Which would provide the best quality and sound? Is the 8050 worth the higher price point? Thank you for reading. :)

I'm looking to get the most out my microphone and these two seem quite highly regarded. Between the two of them, which has the better preamps and quality? Is the Robbie worth the extra $200? Thank you for reading. :)

I'm considering getting a Warm WA-12 pre amp for either a AT 4047 or a Mojave MA 201 for voice overs, both fairly warm mics. My question is, since the WA-12 is known for warming up sound, will that make the recording TOO warm? Since I'm combining a warm mic with a warm pre amp, will that cause...

I've got a budget of $1000 and I'd like to get the best mic for the money. I've been reading about the Neumann TLM 102 and AT4047 being quite good Are those the best I can get or is there even better?

Hello everybody. I'm looking for record some great audio with my XLR mic and I was wondering which of these two would be better? The Zoom H6 or something like a Juicelink or Beachtek? Thank you for reading. :)

I'm going to get some serious gear soon and I have to upgrade my current shotgun. I'll be shooting a lot of interior dialogue shots in small to medium sized rooms. From what I've been told, a shotgun mic like the MKH 416 is terrible for indoors, correct? What's the best indoor mic for $1,000...

Hi everybody! So I recently just upgraded my old Sony ECM-DS70P microphone to a Blue Yeti. I record videos with the DS70P plugged directly into my camera and me being a few inches away speaking. The setup I have now is the same just with the Yeti plugged in my PC. The problem is, I can't...
