In fact I've made over 1000 videos using it between Youtube and my Sax School lesson library. But is time for a change so I've updated to an "industry standard" studio mic in the AKG C414XLS. It's not the most expensive mic in the world, but a big step up from my Rode. In this video I compare the features and sound of the two microphones. Let me know in a comment which you prefer the sound of. Or, which other microphone do you prefer to use? Enjoy.
