Does a microphone that costs 10X more sound 10X better?
Does it even sound much different than its cheaper counterpart?
And if it does...can plugins make up the difference?
That's what I set out to do in today's video as I do a shoot out between a $60 Behringer microphone and a $700 Neumann.
In this breakdown, you'll see and hear the raw vocal takes from each, but even more interesting than that you'll see how we can use plugins to make the mics sound almost identical to each other.
Let the games begin!
