i think your exaggerated Processing makes the final product almost unlistenable imho

[MrSujano]

Hey from 2020! This video was extremely useful for helping me decide on the RE20 for my channel. I was highly debating on picking up the 320, but was worried about the sibilance. The RE20 sounded great even raw. Appreciate the comparisons!

[smithwilliam]

Nice video! I'm thinking the winner is the RE-20.

[LensShark]

I love my Rode Procaster. For how much it costs, it does an amazing job.

[alexm]

I really like the Procaster for its price/performance (so much so I own one), but I also love the sound of the RE320 straight out of the box. Might have to add it to my collection at some point.

[bigtastyben]

even though I'm still pretty much a novice at audio engineering, I think your voice 'raw' sounds best with the RE320; You sound muddy on your Procaster and you sound a little flat on the RE20. on the process side I still think you sound more natural on the 320, both the RE20 and Procaster sound over processed.

[LuciferAgenda]

IMO the RE320 and Procaster sound very similar, BUT the Procaster has a lot more thump in the bass that can tire your ears quite a bit in the long run.

The RE320's bass response does also have that thump, but it is bit more round and soft, which resembles Radio broadcast quality more than the Procaster.

But, as far as bang for the buck goes, the Procaster stands on top.

[johnnyspinks]

Very good review, the RE320 is hard to beat for it`s price, IMO it`s the best bang for your buck at $250 NIB on Amazon, however they can be found in very good condition for less $$ on ebay

[Erigorn]

Imo I think the 320 sounds the best :p

[Weonlyknewoneway]

Honestly I've spent alotve money on high end mics looking for "that professional sound quality" u87 Ai, c800g(clone from advanced audio), shure ksm32, shure sm7b" and without a super soundproof room you will never get the result you're looking for... I finally invested in the RE20 and am blown away by how incredible I sound on my songs now without a treated room.... Frigging game changer... invest

Great video, funnily enough, these are the 3 microphones i am currently considering!

[pepedrum]

Man that processing was too much i think

[practicallychristian]

Personally the RE-20 is the best microphone out there still! I use it for my Podcast and my YouTube videos my only complaint is this. My room is NOT unsound treated at all. With the Re 20 I can hear more of the hollow sound in my room, I can combat that with using a simple Shure 58. However I'm building a studio, so my RE20 is back on the boom.

[pepadeliola]

Does the RE320 pick more background noise than the RE20 and the procaster, i live in a relatively noisy location where i can hear the traffic easily in my streaming room, which one serves best in my situation?

[geofamiliaromao]

Another great video. Thank you. I've just returned my Rode Procaster and I'll be buying the RE320. The Procaster needs much gain and with cheap equipment will put too much background noise. Also, sounds very crispy and not so good as the RE320. Of course, I would go for the RE20 instead of the RE320 if it wasn't for the price. But hey, RE320 sounds pretty good already!

[asamakarn]

How do u edit ur audio, dude? They sound pretty awesome

[jamesjin]

If not for buying a new mic, who would seriously endure 10 minutes of ear piercing vocals. Not only you made your own voice sound bad, you also make your viewers having a different perceived impression of the raw mic clips than being able to accurately hear and judge em. Because of the difference between your processed talking and the more neutral sample clips. Seriously, understand the range of human voice frequencies. There's a reason some of them so-called pod cast mics never even provide you information below 70hz and above 15khz to begin with.

[BravingTheOutDoors]

I'm trying to convince my wife that I need the RE20 ;-)
But honestly... I do.
Can't imagine myself starting a serious podcast with anything else.

Do you get better clean audio recording to the Scarlett than you do to a DR-60D ?

[GMS_MCMI]

Great video. What lav are you using? Thanks.

[MSimky]

It sounds so much better after processing. What are you doing to process it? How can it be processed automatically / live fo zoom?
