Found nothing that's any good tbh
Making a video exposing the somake as hot garbage soon
Oh?
Scroll up
I see
I put it in and looked, that's exactly what it's doing
So all my tests where I'm at 40% gain, 70% gain the somake was actually boosted way beyond that
Can't believe I fell for that
This is my last day of school
Yay
So yesterday I ordered three of those lapel mics, just to see how they are. I also posted it in the thread.
shit
somake
Doing god's work
tfw somake coming in mail...
I'm reluctant to do the video, it'll spark a bunch of butthurt
I ordered mics in different priceranges, so it'll be interesting.
but AGC is in almost every device, camcorders, phones
this is just a really weird and extreme version of it
I had a suspicion because it starts rattling with feedback at 100% gain
like a TV turned up too loud
I'll make a video tomorrow maybe
somake is probably still fine for skype and gaming because that throws your audio through its own compression and fucks it up anyway
but I don't feel comfortable with my original test
because it isn't valid
can't compare like for like if one of them is artificially boosted
One might argue that it's still okay, as long as it sounds fine.
Although one should still be aware that it's boosted before buying.
Yeah I'll make a quick video to explain
it makes sense because when I hear other people's somake + bm-800 set-up it always sounded crackly and flat to me
Dirty's one is really bad
I think mine sounds better
If only everyone could find an eBay as good as the one you(?) posted on /csg/ a day or two ago.
They're still out there
Either they don't ship to Denmark or the shipping is really expensive.
could get a cheap behringer one?
PS400
I can't really be bothered, especially if those mics I've ordered are somewhat decent. Also, my current one isn't that bad.
I'm 99.9% sure mine is a rebadged innogear phantom power and they are everywhere cheap
