Switching from a Blue Snowball USB mic to an AT2020 and Scarlett 4i4 made a huge difference In my recordings. I have a little more control over the input so I have less to adjust in post.
r/VoiceActing • Microphone Upgrade Suggestions? ->Honestly, if you have a small carpeted room, or can a find a good space I think that matters more. I used a blue snowball my first 40 or so auditions and got roles. Now I have an AT2020 with a cage and interface and my music producing friend said it didnt sound that different. I dont think it does either. Oh and don't talk directly in the mic, just try to avoid popping it maybe put a sock on it or something
r/VoiceActing • Any good microphone recommendations under $100? ->at2020 is pretty decent
r/AdvancedProduction • What's the best Super budget vocal microphone (under £100 preferably) ->i got my first million streams (producing/mixing) with a presonus audiobox and a audio technica at-2020 mic. all together abt $250 but i was able to hone my skills using these
r/musicproduction • Best 200$ USB microphones? ->The At2020 is a cheap med diaphragm condenser with a pretty flat frequency response. Ive recorded plenty of vocals with it, used as a room mic, drum overhead, bass, etc. its not the greatest mic, no frills but useful and will get the job done.
r/Reaper • Is it worth recording without a pre-amp or good microphone? ->AT2020 is a fantastic and really affordable condenser mic. I’ve been using it for close to 10 years now
r/audioengineering • Man who has had terrible mics his entire life needs help ->You can go far with an AT2020 or 4040 and put the savings elsewhere
r/makinghiphop • Mic suggestions for the 500-1000$ range ->It will depend on your voice type and any room treatment you may or may not have. The AT2020 is popular but in my room for my voice it makes everything a thin mess and highlights lots of the weird parts of my voice. I found the SM58 sounded better for me personally, I’ve eventually settled on the SM7B but that’s probably out of your price range.
r/LogicPro • What’s a microphone that’s cheap but still good for vocals? ->EV 635a. They’re like magic mics! Either you love them or never heard of them. AT2020, but with the mod kit from mic-parts.com - turned it from “my first condenser mic” into the first mic I grab most of the time now! Definitely gonna make some more at some point.
r/audioengineering • Talking about mics, what is your hidden gem ? ->The Sennheiser E935 is a great pick, very clear and handles harsh vocals well. Another solid option in your range is the Audio-Technica AT2020 if you’re open to a condenser. If you want to stay dynamic, the E935 or even the Audix i5 are both better than the XM8500 for detailed metal vocals.
