Which Microphone Should You Use for Videos? (DVG 011)
If there was ever an episode to listen to with headphones, this would be it.
Today's episode is gonna be a fun one and a bit different. I'll be chatting about what microphone you should use in your videos and instead of just mentioning a bunch of different ones I thought I'd actually record using a bunch of them so you could hear some of the differences firsthand.
You'll hear 10 different microphones, what they should like and why I use some for certain situations over others.
