RAF has some upcoming at-home recording projects, so I wanted to create a side-by-side comparison of different mic setups. Featured here is an iPhone 11 Pro, a Zoom H5 handheld recorder, a Shure Beta 98H wireless mic (that I use for live performances), and my studio recording mic.
These are just the raw audio signals. You'll first hear each soloed, and then again with a backing track. Zero effects, E.Q., or sweetening has been added.
Which do you prefer?
