Hi -- I'm a film/TV producer and songwriter. And I love the TULA. For anyone thinking of purchasing, here's a copy of the review I wrote for Amazon...
Full disclosure -- I bought my mic directly from the Tula website to take advantage of a promotion. But I'm a huge Amazon-aholic, so I wanted to leave a review here too.
I'm not usually a big "leave-a-review" kind of guy, but the Tula's one-two punch of rock solid audio quality and really throughtful features made it a game changer for me.
I initially bought it for field recording. I'm a songwriter/music producer, and I wanted something that could capture song ideas out in the world... strumming a guitar in my living room, jamming with friends, even singing in my car. The Tule rules at this. I turn it on, hit record, then later plug it into my Mac and copy the sound files over.
The quality is so good that I've actually dropped some vocal and acoustic guitar tracks into Logic Pro and used them in final mixes. I haven't tried the noise reduction features yet, but these seem really ace as well. ONE CAVEAT: it doesn't really handle SUPER loud sounds (eg, a rock band rehearsing at full volume).
Then, because the Tula was already plugged into my computer, I tried it on a Zoom call. Which was also easy (I just selected "Tula Microphone" from the Audio Input in the Zoom Preferences window, with a Bluetooth earbud as my Audio Output to allow for duplexing). And it totally elevated my Zoom game, a huge leap in naturalness and clarity. People complimented how good I sounded.
So now I use the Tula for all my direct-to-computer podcasting/VO/Zoom stuff, AND field recording. It does all these things so much better than my old systems. And it's tiny, and great looking, and well-built -- so you just WANT to take it places.
To sum up: highly recommended.
