When deciding whether to buy Dubler 2 as Software Only or as included in the Dubler Studio Kit 2, many people ask us what the benefits of the Dubler USB microphone are. This is of course compared to using the Dubler software with another microphone and audio interface/soundcard.
Firstly, it's important to note that the Dubler USB mic is auto-calibrated to the Dubler 2 software, so it will offer the best performance straight away from the app. The USB connection also makes for a much more plug-and-play experience as you won't require an external audio interface.
If you’re not using our microphone, dynamic microphones paired with an audio interface can offer a very similar experience after calibration, but may occasionally need recalibrating if adjusting the gain at all. Condenser microphones will also work, but they are much more sensitive so they can reduce the accuracy of the pitch to MIDI conversion.
In the section below you can find lots of examples of musicians, producers, and singers using Dubler 2 with the Dubler USB microphone, but here are some more details about the microphone for anyone who is curious!
Our low-latency USB microphone weighs around 400 grams and has been custom designed for use with Dubler software. We use a high-end microphone capsule and built-in audio interface. This enables us to fine tune the Dubler software for a known input. This way we can ensure a reliable, accurate and low latency out-of-the-box experience for our users. We are working with a highly respected microphone manufacturer to produce the devices and have selected components that are optimal for our use case.
For example, the Dubler microphone has a double shock housing to reduce accidental MIDI triggers resulting from handling noise. Being USB it’s great for being at home, in the studio or on the road— and you don’t need a separate audio interface to use it. However, in terms of audio recording quality, it will unfortunately not be able to compete with dynamic or condenser microphones.
