Oh, hi there.
This is Barry your sort of anonymous and somewhat boring host.
And in this video, George and I will show you how we here
at Think Tank TV PH record our audio for our Youtube videos
with the most budget friendly yet highly efficient audio equipment
to produce the best price to performance ratio
that many start up Youtubers and podcasters can benefit from.

So last episode, we had a handful of people saying
that having comedic commentary and memes included was excessive
and just downright annoying.
In the previous scene,
I tried my best to do the plain jane informational approach.
Sorry guys...
It's just not my cup of tea.
Gotta have that flare,
that punch!
just like how George and I will show you
how having decent audio equipment can make or break
the impact of Youtubers' and podcasters' feature presentations!
After we roll out the intro!
♫ROLL INTRO♫
Having great looking video with the best vlogging point and shoots,
DSLRs,
and the latest and greatest phones
will still suck if it isn't matched with crispy noise free crystal clear audio.
Majority of content creators are so engrossed on video quality
and don't stop to think that a lot of Youtube views
are actually listened to while multitasking on something else.
Now if you're audio is crap, guess what?
Most likely they will click onto the next video.
Don't believe me?
Here's an analogy.
Ever watched a pirated movie that was obviously recorded
straight from a movie screen [and had] crappy acoustics?
Oh common, don't deny it.
You know you're guilty.
Pare, I'm a cop.
I kid! Just kidding!
Just like you, we here at ThinkTank TV PH do not condone piracy
and gotta show support to the creative minds that bring us the best of entertainment.
More so, we uphold high bitrate audio recordings
without breaking the bank with the following tools! Lets start off with
the XLR mic we use majority of the time, which is the Audio Technica AT2035.
Aside from the fact that this has a matte black rugged construction,
personally I believe that this is the best sub $150
entry level pro-sumer XLR cardioid large diaphragm microphone
because of its ease to handle sound pressure levels.
It is the younger brother of the more commonly used
Audio Technica mic here in the Philippines, the AT2020 USB version.
So what makes this an upgrade from the older bro?
Firstly, it boasts a switchable 80 Hz high pass filter
and a -10 dB padding to help with the noise floor.
I betcha you're scratching your head right now wondering what
does this mumbo jumbo uber technical lingo is all about?
So, noise floor is that hiss,
that sound of supposed silence.
That's the background noise even when your neighbor's dog isn't barking,
that rooster isn't cuckoo doodle doing,
or that damn tricycle on the sidewalk isn't trying to ring your ears off.
When you turn on the AT2035's high pass filter,
it practically removes a lot of the low frequencies and humming in your room.
Now regarding the -10 dB padding,
what it does is that it essentially prevents that clipping
or crackling when you raise your voice abruptly every so often.
It is quite forgiving when you squeal the pitch of your voice
and prevents you to have to rerecord a line where
an exciting reaction would be difficult to reenact.
Wow...
Recording with an XLR mic, you can't simply
just connect this straight to your computer.
You must be thinking,
"Damn it Barry, this isn't a budget video.
You're just setting me up for a let down when you tell
me that I'm gonna have to buy a mixer, an amp,
and a bunch more hardware."
Don't worry. I got you guys.
No, no need for all that.
You will only need an Audio Interface for the mic to power up with
and then the interface would attach to your PC or Mac via USB.
I found one for less than $100 in the entry level section of Focusrite,
which is the Scarlett Solo 2nd Generation.
This tiny box allows a single XLR input,
a single instrument feed,
allows you to attach your headphone for monitoring
and allows you to attach RCA outputs in the back.
Oh if you are wondering why my Scarlett Solo
is not Scarlett Red like shown on the box,
it's because I vinyl wrapped it matte black
to match the theme of my desk setup.
Not impressed huh? Since you're thinking…
"Damn it Barry! You're doing it again.
Why don't I just buy a mic that can connect to the computer right off the bat
so I wouldn't have to get an Audio Interface?"
Well, here's where quality over seeds being stingy.
Having an XLR mic doesn't only mean you can record a much fuller and crispier audio.
But because its being recorded in analog,
you can manipulate the highs, mids, and low frequencies and the gains.
This will surely cut hours of editing time needed
when you are trying to master your audio file.
Let me demonstrate to you guys three typical scenarios:
Right now I'm talking to you guys straight
from the built in mic of this Sony A6300.
Yeah, the camera can shoot 4K quality videos.
By the way, do you guys like the quality of my visuals now?
But as you can see and hear the audio is just utter crap.
Crap... Crap and did you hear that?
That was painstakingly crap!
Next in line, I'm speaking to you with a Rode Micro
3.5mm mic that is connected directly to the computer. (He meant camera.)
Its much better than the microphone built in with the A6300.
But it still lacks that "umph,"
that would fill up your viewers' speakers with crystal clear audio.
Last but not the least, let's go back to what you were hearing for most of the video.
This is the AT2035 attached to the Scarlett Solo,
which I've recorded through Audacity with the noise reduction filter to cut
the electric fan whirling,
airconditioning,
dogs barking,
and roosters crowing.
Nope, no equalization or sound effects had to be manipulated
on Garageband or Adobe Audition to attain this crisp sound.
The AT2035 out of the box comes with a shock mount
with 3/8s threading to attach to a mic stand or boom arm
and also with a nice leather bag for storage protection.
At current time of recording, there's a combo package being offered on Amazon by Beach Camera
right now for $189. [It] comes with the AT2035,
the Scarlett Solo,
a Pop Filter with a Mic Stand Clip,
and a 10 foot Monoprice gold plated XLR cable.
That's an instant $60 savings!
Why not apply that extra savings onto
a Boom Arm from Neewer,
a Vertical Surface Mount from Heil Sound,
and a much better looking and
compact pop filter from Sywon?
Do you hear that? That's a crisp and full sounding recording
of the beat of your heart
with the Best Budget Audio Recording Setup for 2017!
Sounds like a good deal to me!
Well this brings us to wrap up this
Audio Technica AT2035 Cardioid Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
and Focusrite Scarlett Solo 2nd Generation Audio Interface review.
Phewee...
That was a mouthful.
Still weary of shopping on Amazon from the Philippines?
Check on the link on the top right of this video.
There are also links below the description as to where we purchased the gear you saw.
We hope you enjoyed our budget audio recording setup so much
that it's making you itch to go smash that like button.
But if you didn't,
well hey! Go hit that dislike button
so we can see how much more room we have to improve.
But we'd prefer that you don't
because we'd wanna get you to subscribe,
click on the notification settings,
write a comment below too
and tell us what was the best feature of the mic or of the audio interface.
Until then,
this is Barry your not so anonymous but ever so awesome host
and George signing off for Think Tank TV PH
where we enjoy taking Tech from all over the world
and fitting it in a Pinoy Budget Meal.
If you think it,
we'll make it!
