What Microphones Do You Need? 🎙| Sound Design and Field Recording

***Open me, DAWg*** ▼▼▼$upport the Channel▼▼▼ https://venustheory.com/samples Howdy doody, frienderoonies! Today we're here to talk about my sound design setup for field recording and go through what microphones I use and why. Microphones are a lot of fun, but microphones are expensive and with sound design it's easy to get caught up in the idea that you need all sorts of fancy expensive toys when that's really not the case at all. So, I wanted to walk through my setup and talk about the pros and cons of each mic and hopefully help shed some light on some budget friendly options for you to start or expand your sound design field recording setup! ▼▼▼Product Links (non-affiliate)▼▼▼ https://zoomcorp.com/en/us/handheld-recorders/handheld-recorders/h4n-pro/https://www.lewitt-audio.com/microphones/lct-recording/lct-040-match-stereo-pair https://www.movophoto.com/products/movo-cmp-25-carbon-fiber-microphone-boom-pole-with-integrated-xlr-cable https://deitymic.com/s-mic-2/ https://www.movophoto.com/products/movo-bws1000-blimp https://www.lewitt-audio.com/microphones/lct-recording/lct-440-pure https://www.akg.com/Microphones/Condenser%20Microphones/C214.html https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07795XHLH/ ▼▼▼TIMESTAMPZ▼▼▼ 0:00 Howdy 0:53 An Important Note 1:35 The Best Tool You Have 1:58 My Mic Criteria 4:36 5 Mic Factors 5:01 The Cheapest Mic 6:09 How Useful Is It 6:45 Cost 7:00 How Much You Need It 7:18 Disadvantages 7:52 Field Recorder 8:18 How Useful Is It 8:48 Cost 9:31 How Much You Need It 10:03 Disadvantages 11:04 Small Diaphragm Condensers 11:57 How Useful Is It 13:02 Cost 13:49 How Much You Need It 14:23 Disadvantages 15:59 Shotgun Microphone 16:46 How Useful Is It 17:24 Cost 17:49 How Much You Need It 18:18 Disadvantages 19:18 Contact Microphones 19:44 How Useful Is It 20:12 Cost 20:44 How Much You Need It 20:59 Disadvantages 21:31 Studio Mic 1 21:49 How Useful Is It 21:57 Cost 22:31 How Much You Need It 23:34 Disadvantages 24:05 Studio Mic 2 24:17 How Useful Is It 24:33 Cost 24:46 How Much You Need It 25:01 Disadvantages 25:57 Random Weird Mics 28:16 Recording In The Studio 29:19 Closing Thoughts Stay classy! ▼▼▼Distribute Your Music Today With DistroKid & Save 7%▼▼▼ https://distrokid.com/vip/venustheory ▼▼▼Join My Discord!▼▼▼ https://discordapp.com/invite/p7RUmTt ▼▼▼Follow Venus Theory▼▼▼ Official Site → https://www.venustheory.com Audius→ https://www.audius.co/venustheory Twitter→ https://www.twitter.com/venustheory Instagram→ https://www.instagram.com/venustheory Soundcloud → https://www.soundcloud.com/venustheory VK → https://vk.com/venustheory ▼▼▼Gear List▼▼▼ https://venustheory.com/gear
