    S01E36: The Worker Bee Hypothesis | English

    Hello & welcome back to another episode of A Talks Mics and today, I have a microphone that took ages to arrive in India after it's launch worldwide, and is still an import only commodity somehow, but I managed to get it after waiting for 28 days finally and as I juggled between the thoughts of keeping it or sending it back, I finally gave in and did some serious testing & comparisons. Then I decided to make this all public for you guys to hear this as well and then...here we are...

    I am hoping you are taking good care of yourselves and keeping your spirits high.

Well the mone is already gone, so yeah.

    Hello Podcasters & Creators

    I am back with another epsiode of the show today and today I have with me a microphone that is very cheap and I would like to say somehow effective, now how good or bad it is I leave it up to you guys who will listen to this episode and for the sake of keeping it very relevant I have just included one comparison with another microphone which is also a very cheapo microphone called the Maono AU-HD 300, which I procured for 40 bucks around 4-5 months back, there 9is a post processing test and except processing on one segment everything else is RAW with only loudness normalisation active for levelling audio at fair levels.

    I hope you find this useful, I shall see you in the next one!!

    S01E32 Reflection Shields: Are They Really Useless? | English |

    Hello ladies & gentlemen and welcome to a new episode of A Talks Mics and today I talk about reflection shields. As you all are aware about the fact that us podcasters and microphone/tech enthusiasts are always looking forward to enhance and improve their audio game continuously and in that pursuit we come across a lot of gear that promises a variety of things, some promise a better sound, some promise better performance and some promise that you can convert absolutely any space into a studio, yes, some do and that's what actually surprises me the most because a lot actually goes into a space to make it a studio, its not that you cannot create a studio anywhere but usually it does take some work at least to actually have working studio setup that enables you to produce fine results. Reflection shields not only come with a lot of promises, they also come with a lot of myths, so in this episode which is actually based on a discussion I had with some of my friends on a casual Sunday evening about reflection filters and if they really are that useless, I reserve any comments on that here, so its better you tune in to the episode to know what I actually want to convey. I think ladies & gentlemen that this episode can at least tell you something about the nature and effects, benefits or cons of these shields so as to actually enable you to choose if you want to have one or to simply stay away and rather invest in some make shift booths or proper room treatment to get that nice sound out of most of your microphones and especially, condenser microphones. I am hoping you are in the best of spirits and health and I shall be back with a new episode of A Talks Mics very soon, until then...God Bless!

    I did test out a reflection filter from Maono for this episode but it wasn't the only absorption stuff used in this episode, I had constructed a make shift temporary booth with some pillows along with the isolation shield for the purposes of this episode, in the event of full disclosure, I thought you must know what you were actually hearing in the episode, more details in the episode.
