I don't know why everyone defaults to the Cloudlifter. There are a many other companies that make in-line preamps, and they are cheaper and just as effective. I use the sE Dynamite. Not only is $100 instead of $150, but it has a more convenient shape for putting it right after the microphone in the signal path. If you don't want to get that one, there are plenty of other options. There are UA-cam videos you can find by reputable channels where they test different in-line preamps. Most of them are just as quiet at the Cloudlifter and offer at least as much gain, if not more. The Cloudlifter was just the first one on the market. Anyway, the Shure SM7B rules and it's by far my favorite mic I own. It makes my vocals fit in a mix with very little effort.
🤔 I like the cloudlifter because I’ve had it for years and it gets the job done.. I’m sure there’s alternatives that’ll do great but I can’t recommend what I havnt used. If I’m looking for another I will definitely give the SE Dynamite a gander 🙂
Links in the description for all of my home studio products. I hope my videos help you along your journey. Have fun recording! 😁
Love your channel and love this mic. My favorite so far for male rock vocals.
Thanks for the support! 😁

I suggest using a pencil to adjust the filters on the back of the mic. Probably a little more gentle on the plastic than a screwdriver.
I would also recommend using the corner of a hatchet blade if neither is around 🪓 😅
