Mic Comparison: Zoom H1 vs Blue Snowball

2013-05-05
excellent hello everyone and welcome back once again to Paul's hardware today I'm bringing you my promised microphone comparison video and here they are basically we have the zoom h1 right there little audio recorder device I got a little accessory kit for it so it's rocking a little windscreen right now as well as a little tripod hold it up that's nice it also got the blue snowball which is right here I've also added a pop filter to it because it was a little combo deal and you know you know the combo deals work you just Add to Cart Add to Cart so that's set up right here that's plugged in the laptop I'm going to be recording Adobe Audition with it to get to get my sound there zoom h1 is self-contained so that's just going to be recording under there at the end I'm going to be compiling all this and I'll put it together without any like compression or equalization effects or anything like that so you guys get pretty much as raw the audio as I can handle I'm not an audio technician by any stretch of the imagination so this is really going to be kind of a homebrew test I'm just kind of plugging these in and using them with just a few tips that I've read from the manuals that's just about it so in case you're wondering what you're hearing right now that's been the mic that I've been using for my videos for quite some time which is located over there it's a road video mic Pro so I guess this is also an audio test comparison for that one as well although I'm not going to be doing all the other stuff what I'm going to be doing is reading some dramatic I honestly don't know what I'm going to read I'm gonna look up something and read it off for you guys and also I'm going to be playing guitar for you which I'm not all that good at but if you guys are into music production maybe you're also looking for mics and maybe that will help too but I've talked enough so let's go ahead and get right to it here is your audio test demonstration for very long time almost three seconds jane could not understand what had happened to her everything functioned of course the satellite-based ground link computer reported a since cessation of transmissions with an orderly step-down which clearly implied that ender had switched off the interface in a normal manner it was routine on worlds where computer interface implants were common switch on and switch off happened millions of times an hour you in my dream it was very dark and what dim light there was seemed to be radiating from Edwards skin I couldn't see his face just his back as he walked away from me leaving me in the blackness no matter how fast I ran I couldn't catch up to him no matter how loud I called he never turned troubled I woke in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep again for what seemed like a very long time pity this busy monster man unkind not progress is a comfortable disease your victim death and life safely beyond plays with the bigness of his littleness electrons dfi one razor blade into a mountain range I don't know what else could air cordons how about Logan let's current Logan here comes Logan bringing you the trucks and that is gonna do it for this video or at least for my audio tests and honestly at this point I've only recorded everything I have not gone back and edited or listened back or anything like that so I have no idea what the results of the tests are you guys probably know better than me at this point but what I would really like is your opinions also if you guys have any suggestions for me I don't know if any of the guys who watch my channel guys or girls - some girls do like 3% who watched my channel are into audio production but if you guys have any tips for me I'd love to hear them I'm always looking for ways to improve my production quality if I can I know audio is often kind of lower on the list for a lot of people but I want everything to sound good and hopefully look good too anyway but yeah that's all for this video leave me your comments down in the description below all I have to go off right now is usability and usability wise I'd say I like the zoom h1 a little bit better because you can just take this anywhere you want to go and that's pretty cool and it's got line in and everything so you can plug in other mics the blue eye I have my preconception is that the blue snowball is probably gonna have a little bit better audio quality perhaps who knows but you do have the requirement that it's USB mic so you have to plug it into a laptop or a desktop or something like that in order to get it to work so but those are my preconceptions thus far I'm actually gonna go and do some editing on this video now and hear how it sounds and everything but as far as you guys out there if you're watching this video and you're not subscribed to my channel please do so you'll find more tech videos mostly about computer hardware but lots of other stuff long as I as I continue video production as well also like the video if you did enjoy it or if you found it useful because that really helps and yeah thanks for watching we'll see you guys in the next video means we kept juice
