Thanks Rob, some useful tips.

So, (for voiceover), why would someone go with 3:1 or 10:1? Which would be considered better or common, say?

I went and purchased the RE20, I found a good deal. I fired it up into my focusrite with a fethead. My initial thoughts are I like it. My previous microphone, the Rode Broadcaster, which I linked my sample at the top of this post required me to speak very close to the mic to get that fuller...

Hi guys, Can someone possibly explain the differences between setting the ratios as 3:1, 4:1 and 10:1. What difference would I expect with each of those ratios? I use my microphone (RE20) for voiceover, no instruments or singing. Which ratio is generally seen as the best for voiceover out of...

Hi guys, I'm strongly considering to get this mic. I know it's popular with many radio stations and I am hoping to get a clean radio/broadcast type sound. I use my mic for Youtube and want to open up a second channel for discussion/mini podcasting type videos. I currently use a Rode...

What sort of distance would you advise to get a 'radio' like broadcasting sound?

This was very informative and interesting Rob. How do you go about setting up your equaliser (for voice over say). I'm considering buying an EV RE20 going by many reviews online.

Thanks Rob. I'll try to sort the issues out, I have hundreds of videos planned to release so I'd rather sort it out now than afterwards. I do use a noise gate because I saw a Youtube tutorial saying to use it. My room and surroundings and computer are pretty quiet and this mic is a condenser...

Hi mate, I had this issue, it's a well known problem with this device. I have the same interface but the Scarlett Solo and I purchased it because everyone seems to have one and recommends it. I had the issue and it was driving me mad. Static noise, crackling popping and all sorts. I tried it...

Thanks for your detailed feedback Rob. I guess I used compression because from the video guides I watched, they said it helps to keep the sound at a consistent level. Should I limit the compression or turn it off? I was under the impression radio stations use compression? I'm not sure what you...

Sure, I've ordered WS2 to help with the plosives and that will keep me a bit away. I guess I was going for a fuller sound by trying to be very close to the mic.

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...

Hi Rob, thank you very much for your comments - you guys really know your stuff. I've included a sample below with the raw microphone with no processing whatsoever, as you requested. So I followed instructions from this person YouTube and booth junkie who are amazing actors. Elijah Lucian has...

Thank you James, if I come in close and talk across it, as you say, will it still sound the same? And I'm sorry about the popping, should I use an actual pop filter instead of the foam cover thing? Or both?

Hi guys, I have gotten good advice here before and I have upgraded my microphone to using a Rode Broadcaster and Scarlett Solo interface. This is for my Youtube channel, where I do maths tutorials (how amazingly interesting huh). The first sample I'm using voicemeeter (which I know a lot of...
