Reminder: my reviews should not be taken as gospel. I am one person with one set of preferences, one set of ears & one set of experiences. You should ALWAYS get multiple opinions on audio gear before buying. Also, the job of gear is to make stuff. So make stuff w/ what you have.

FYI: If you’re getting ”free” gear to make a video on, it is not “free” gear. If it takes you 50 hours to make a video in an area that you’re an expert in, that can easily translate to $5,000 of value. Do not underestimate the value of your time.
