I've tried it with both a $20 off-brand shotgun mic as well as a Blue Yeti. Not much luck with either. RNNoise did vastly better and the work getting it set up in my audio pipeline certainly wasn't worth $5/mo to avoid. And honestly I could've even lived with that except for the severe degradation in audio quality.
