=================== text video ====================
— If you’re looking for a cheap microphone
for either Zoom calls,
gaming or live streaming,
maybe even podcasting and
you’re searching on Amazon,
chances are, is you may
find this mic right here.
This is the Fifine USB mic that comes
with all of these things
here for under $50.
I mean, there really isn’t
a better deal in regards
to the value you get with all
the things with this setup.
And just to break it down a little bit,
it is a condenser microphone
that just plugs straight
into your computer or laptop using a USB
but comes with everything
you see and more.
It actually comes with the
desk clamp and boom arm.
So if you actually want
this look and vibe,
then it’s gonna be awesome for that.
And then you also get
the shock mount holder,
the wind scream, and the
muff that actually will kill
some of the plosives in your audio.
And it also comes with a desk solution
where if you just wanna
rest it on your desk,
you can actually set it up to do so.
But with that being said,
you can see this microphone
in the shot and you see how
maybe potentially obnoxious
it may be if you’re doing
something like Zoom calls
or video conference calls.
And that’s why in this video
actually wanted to break down
other solutions that come in under $50
that are actually more
discreet and a lot of people
don’t actually talk about
these ways of capturing audio
for these purposes.
And so, would that being
said, let’s get into it.
— [Announcer] You gotta just press record.
— Hey, what’s up, it’s Omare
El Takrori with Think Media
and this channel is all about helping you
build your influence online with YouTube
and we share the best tips
and tools on how to do so.
So if you’re interested in that,
be sure to hit that subscribe
button and I’ll be sure
to post links to everything
that I’m mentioning
in the description below
but shout out to the sponsor
of this video which is Riverside FM
and I’ll share about
them in just a moment.
But the second audio solution
is actually one of my favorite
ways to get audio for
my personal Zoom calls
and also live streams.
And that is actually booming
your mic outside of your shot.
And this way is actually I
think the best looking way
because you actually don’t see the mic.
Right now you’re actually
listening to a microphone
that’s right out of the frame of the shot.
And similarly speaking, setting
up a boom mic is not only
the cleanest way because
you don’t see it at all,
but it also sounds really good as well.
And the mic that I would recommend
is the Comica Shotgun Mic.
This mic comes in at around $40.
What I love about this audio solution
is it’s a very fail-proof
way to achieve great audio
and you know, you can
actually use this mic
in two different ways.
Number one, you plug this mic
straight into your computer.
If you have a mic input
on your computer desktop,
just plug a 3.5 millimeter cable into it.
You may wanna buy a longer aux cable
so that you can actually
boom it out of the shot
but just plugging it right in
and then selecting your source
in whatever software you’re using
allows you to just be ready to go.
Another way you can actually
plug in this mic is by plugging
it into the camera that you’re using
to capture the video side of
your video conference call
or live stream and actually
just select your camera
as your audio source when
plugging the mic into your camera.
This is another fail-proof
way because as long as
your camera’s on, you
know your mic will be on.
Now if you wanna learn how
you can use whatever camera
you have as a webcam, I’ll be
sure to link that at the end
of the video and you can check
out that video afterwards.
But with that being said,
that leads me to talk about
the sponsor which is Riverside FM.
Riverside is one of the leading podcasts
and video recording platforms
you can use to conduct
interviews or video podcasts
and things like that.
Gary V. and Mark Zuckerberg
actually use Riverside
to conduct their interview.
And it’s super crispy because
it actually is a web-based
software that saves onto their server.
So you’re not at the mercy
of somebody’s internet
so when you’re conducting an
interview or a live stream,
you’re actually getting your
video and audio captured
in very high quality,
and it’s not compromised
for other uses.
I used to use Zoom to conduct interviews
and it actually just would
compromise the quality,
no matter what kind of camera
or audio solution I’d use.
But what’s so cool about
Riverside is that they maintain
the quality of your video and audio,
no matter where you are.
There’s definitely a reason
why over 70,000 people
use Riverside and if you
actually wanna try Riverside
yourself today, be sure
to check out the link
down in the description below.
But with that being said,
the third audio solution
and discreet audio solution
will have to be using
a lavalier mic or what
is called a clip on mic.
This mic from Deity, it’s
called the Deity V.Lav
is a $50 mic that requires really no setup
like the other two mics
that I talked about.
Simply plug this into
your computer or laptop
or even your camera, clip it on your shirt
and select it as your audio
source and you’re ready to go.
What’s cool about this microphone
is you’re never gonna have
issues about inconsistencies of audio
whereas the boom mic
solution that I typically use
in my setup or even this USB mic solution,
you definitely have to be
locked in at the same spot
to maintain consistent audio
but because it is clipped
on your shirt, you could
definitely move around
a little bit, swing a chair,
and it’s not gonna take away
from any of the consistency of audio.
And so you definitely wanna think about,
obviously how things sound
because we’re talking
about audio here but how things
look and then the use case
of how you’re actually
capturing your audio.
But with that being said,
let me know down in the
comments below which mic
that you would actually gravitate toward
based off of the look of
the mic and your use cases,
would love to know.
And if you got value in this video,
let me know by hitting
that like button as well.
And if you have a camera laying around,
you can actually potentially
use that as your webcam
and level up the quality of
video that you’re putting out
for whatever use case you’re using,
whether it be live streams, games
or even be a conference calls.
And so if you wanna learn
how you can actually use
your camera to live stream
with, be sure to click or tap
the screen and I can’t wait
to see you in a future video,
peace.
(bright upbeat music)
