Note: I rolled off the frequencies at 13.8khz to remove some fan noise the mic was picking up, but you can opt to roll off as high as 15khz or skip that altogether, since that's the highest frequency the K688 can capture. You may get even clearer audio.

LOVED this! Great ideo for a video. People need to see this more than they know!!!

[davix]

one video of you doing the same thing with the am8 would really help since the am8 sounds more clear but it has other counters

[onlymine]

Thanks a lot This will be very helpful :D

Atlassttt i've been waiting for this Lol

[Bennjii]

can you do this with the maono pd200x? on the maono link they added a way you can make a custom eq.

I did pretty much the same thing with the wave xlr

Now that's an intro! 🔥

Also, you can actually use the Reaper plugins with OBS. Even their stock EQ is already decent imo that I sometimes use it on my live streams. 😂

Hello, I'm a newbie with mic stuff and after hours of reviews I ended up buying this one thanks to you, but since I don't know anything about software I wonder if there's any program you would recommend me to make this mic sound better (not for recordings though, I want to use it for Discord mostly) 😁

I've been looking for other people to review the Fifine k726, The condenser microphone Fifine made at an affordable price. I have mine set up with my mtrack Solo though my environment at the moment is not ideal (Noisy AC) for me to properly test it fully. Have you ever tried out the K726 before? I'd love a video about it since not a lot of people check it out aside from some russians and other Southeast Asian creators

Hi Dave,
What about de-essing?
Do you recommend to add another TDR nova filter, after the EQ one, for De-essing? Or better to use two TDR Nova filters, one for EQ (the one you show in the video) and another for de-essing. Thanks in advance!

So glad you're doing a video about the software side of things. Picked up the PD400X with recommendations.

I do my voiceovers on Audacity, is reaper worth the $60?

[artmaltman]

Fascinating. (1) Are you in XLR mode? (2) Did you end up making it closer to a Tank3? (3) What would you change about Maono PD400x?

@davesoltura please talk about the g1 neo

I have a question, i dont really know what mic to buy, because i bought an Maono A04 and it only worked for like 5 days, and now i really want the fifine k688 but i heard in one of youre reviews about the usb problems and i dont know if i should buy and trust maono again with the pd200x or if i should risk buying the fifine k688
