So that’s twice today that I’m so impressed with the sound rejection of the sm7b. Your video was a great example of how well it rejects sound. I was very surprised, even though I experienced it myself in my own studio today. I’ve had the sm7b for almost two years now, and honestly I’m not fond of the mic. But I had some pushy clients that needed some work done asap and unfortunately I had some construction work being done right outside my studio. The condenser was picking everything up making it impossible to get anything done. So I figured I’d try out the sm7b. Well I’ll be damned, it rejected everything almost to inaudible levels, but certainly enough for the work I was doing. It saved the day! Weird how I ran across your video and saw it work for you extremely well rejecting the guitar. Good video man, keep it up!
Haha wow that’s wild man!! Thanks for the comment and kind words. I guess that’s why the SM7B works well for podcasts and home studio vocal mics in untreated rooms. Good to keep in mind. I also prefer condenser or ribbon mics but it’s true. They pick up everything! Cheers friend 🍻
Hi, i'm wondering what audio interface did you use to record both dynamic mics? I've read about dynamics need quite a lot of gain, and most audio interface would have to be maxed out. I'm planning to get into recording and singing and playing at the same time using two mics for each vocal and acoustic guitar. My dilemma is that: 1) audio interface doesnt have enough gain resulting in low volume (planning to get Motu M2), which means I need to invest in mic boost such as klark technic, cloudlifter, fethead etc. But the advantage is better separation, am I right? 2) condenser mics on the other hand, would pick up more ambient noise, but if we play around with the proximity effects, and using less gain, would the separation be on par with dynamics? What if I pair an AT2035 (LDC) for vocal and AKG P170 (SDC) for acoustic guitar? I really dont want to record vocal and acoustic guitar separately. Thank you! Regards
Hey Ady, thanks for the comment. In my experience, you are correct. I a Focusrite scarlet and a Clarett 4pre. I have to use a cloudlifter or fethead. Dynamic mics aren’t as sensitive so there is reduced mic bleed, but it is not completely reduced. I have a lot of good results with a large diaphragm condenser on vocal and small diaphragm on acoustic. They work well with the phantom power from home studio audio interfaces. You do get mic bleed, but with some practice this will not be an issue. There are a ton of pro-level acoustic performance videos on UA-cam using condenser mics to record vocal and guitar at the same time. My guess is you’ll be happier with two condenser mics in the long run.
If you look at my man of constant sorrow video I use a LDC vocal and SDC acoustic setup. Lauten audio black series. I have the P170s too. Great for the price.
what if you have a full band 5/6 pence and want to actually be able to hear what they are playing to an audience. i don’t get how it record live if there is no output to a PA. only to headphone. can you help me cause no one seems to have an answer.
Hey thanks for the comment. I don’t understand your question fully. If you have a PA, you can run lines out from that to this. Or you can use the X/Y capsule and record audience perspective. Or, it does have a stereo line out and can be used as a mixer. It can also plugin to usb and be an audio interface
I'm so impressed that SM7b didn't pick any other sounds! I'm tempted to get it now!
Pretty cool right? What mics do you currently use?
@@m.i.stapes I use AT4050 and it's nothing bad about it. What's your view on AT4050?
@@KimYang I have the 2020 but I haven’t used the 2050. It seems like a totally fine large diaphragm condenser. Do you like it?
and now you owned it. congrats
Wow, so much hiss! Surprising.
