This is a great mic i would recommend it to anybody, i have been using it for over a few months now and still have not even had 1 problem. I have even dropped it a few times which usually breaks a mic but i guess this one is able to sustain any of those problems. I would recommend this mic t
My final thought on this mic is very up and down. Its sounds so good and warm, and you wont need to cut off much of the frequencies. But for the price it doesn’t do “enough” for me. I have use plenty of Shure mics that have similar quality of this for half the price. So if you are going to record from a home studio (which most of us do) then get...
Here's the story behind how I came to love this mic. I run sound for a fairly big worship service at a large church. We have a lot of voices, and a lot of instruments that compete for room in our front of house mix. So getting them on the right mic is usually the first step toward getting everyone heard. I have learned that if the mic is goo...
The Blue Microphones EyeBall 2.0 is an inexpensive way to get a pretty decent mic and video camera combination. I’ve been told that the video camera is the same that is found on the iPhone 4, so it’s a pretty decent little camera and the microphone sounds pretty darn good considering the format that it comes in. It’s a simple USB device that m...
You can use this thing for a surprising amount. It will do almost any drum duty their is. Toms, snare, overhead, or bass kick. Whatever. Also it doesn't seem to be fussy with placement like a lot of Blue mics are. For the price it's a no brainer. This is a building block mic for any small studio considering the versatility. It has the hig...
The Blue Microphones Omni Mouse is up there as one of the best room microphones I've ever used. It's perfect for this applications because it is indeed omnidirectional and will pick up sound from all angles. This helps to capture all sorts of reflections and really gives you a nice a roomy sound, even when you're using it in a small room. One...
For the price, the Blue Microphones Spark is one of the best that I've seen. Over the past couple of years there have been endless microphones put out in this price range aimed at the home studio owner, so it's no surprise to see Blue doing the same, as they've done in the past with the Snowball mic. Having said this, I think that Spark is one...
If you want a good idea of what the Encore 300 is for. Watch American Idol. They used the Encore 300 in the latest season. The Encore is a real singer's microphone. It soars and is incredibly airy without being harsh or sibilant. However, it is not an easy mic to use. Unless you already know how to sing. It is not forgiving to the voice at all l...
This microphone does not have that ridiculous grainy quality as the Shure SM58. That is a plus for me, but for many other types of singers or even instrumentalists, having that grainy midrange push is an advantage for the punch of their sound. This microphone picks up a sweet sound like its friends in the same general line of microphones, but un...
Compared to the SM57, the Blue Encore 100i is a much less aggressive sounding microphone, and to many people, this will come across as dead sounding. The truth is, this like its cousin the 100 is a very sweet but accurate sounding microphone, which means that it is likely better suited to softer sources than the ubiquitous SM57. At any rate, thi...
