It's not just good, I found it to be way better than a standalone shotgun mic connected via USB. I researched this for WFH and found a lot of people saying you were going to spend hundreds to replicate the quality in a more "professional" mic setup. Super impressive.
Does it record a fixed point, or does it do something fancy like using the camera to attempt tracking the user's movement? Just curious, and I don't have access to a modern Mac. The article seems to imply that it's focusing on a fixed point.
No idea, I believe it's just a fixed point. Personally I use it while sitting in front of my Mac about 1-2 feet from my face. I've done tests, it's better than every other form of audio input I have available, including standalone shotgun mic, Airpods Max, Airpods Pro V2, etc.
As someone looking to replicate it from a pro mic setup, what do people recommend?
I've been trying to record audio in my noisy server room but only deepfilternet is able to deal with the fan noise in the background.
Biggest thing is you need a nice mic that's very close to your face, like you might see on a twitch stream. Good noise isolation via a directional mic off-camera is quite difficult/expensive apparently.
I bought a røde wireless mic which definitely helped. It gives deepfilternet enough good signal:noise to work reasonably well, but I was hoping there was an even better solution.
