Ultimately your real natural voice is going to play one of the biggest roles in how you sound in the end. The AT2005 is one of those crazy mics where it almost feels like it's mis-priced at $80 and the DBX 286 has enough knobs and buttons to make it sound good with a number of different types of voices. IMO the AT2005 is worth using as an end-game microphone.
MANYCAM INSTALLER STUCK AT 100 UPGRADE
It's an awesome piece of hardware and offers way more bang for your buck.Īlso the AT2005 mic is a solid upgrade from the AT2100 that he recommends, and both are about the same price. As an alternative, for $299 you can pick up the DBX 286s pre-amp which also acts as a noise gate (helps filter hiss / static), de-esser, compressor and basic EQ together. The $100 for the dedicated 2nd pre-amp with the Triton seems pretty wasteful. He's using the $400 Shure mic in that video too. If you goto the OP's Youtube channel and listen to his recordings, for example, there is a HUGE amount of hiss / static in his audio, to the point where I would be uncomfortable listening to his voice for a long period of time at a medium volume. You can spend $700+ on his high end audio recommendations but 90% of home office style recording environments (even with acoustic panels) are going to have a noticeable amount of background hiss (computer fans, etc.) get picked up and his set up doesn't account for that.
