I just got it!!!
Great tips! Loving the content y'all have been putting out lately. Thank you!
thanks!! 🫶
I use the SM7B for my digital art channel. My audio chain also includes a Fethead, a dbx 286s channel strip to further process my voice while I talk, and a 3rd Gen Scarlett 2i2 audio interface for my PC. Total cost with Rode boom arm was $1000 and worth every penny.
Great, to the point video on the SM7B. Installing mine in a few minutes. I’ll try the bass settings for the L trains here in Chicago! Lol
I have an sm7b with a cloudlifter as well going through my apollo Twin x m.
I’m running the 610 b pre from uad it’s a tricky mic to gain but I’ll eventually get it . I never messed wit the switch on the back of the mic though ,tommorow I will lol .
Content creators are addicted to bass, but midrange is king in capturing speech. Speakers inside smartphones, tablets, laptops, and earbuds do not process bass well, while car stereos use tend to boost bass. Over 90% of your followers are listening to you through one of these, so ditch the boomy bass! 😆We don't speak at 100Hz.
👉On the back of the SM7B there's a switch that enables a built-in high pass filter, making it much easier to get better sound for a spoken voice.
TLDR: Cutting bass will make you sound so much better on your audience's devices. Followers will notice you sound better, and they'll love you for it.
5★ video from B&H here. More content creators should watch it! 👍
2:00 Shure must've done this on purpose. They know people are using these things like dynamic mics, and that creators often love to show off their fancy mic, so they placed the diaphragm further back - a smart choice on their part!
IS STILL HEAR MY LAPTOP IN MY RECORDS HOW TO FIX IT
i built a square booth with molton curtains but i want to just cover 3 sides ....which side should i leave uncovered? front, side or back of the sm7b?
This is probably not as critical as you are thinking. Cover the side that connects the back and front. Test each side before completing the project to gauge the quality of the recorded sound. >Mark
Thanks. I also appreciate showing the prices in the “more” section. To be brutally honest, your Joni Mitchell could use some work.
my shure sm 7b is clipping at all high singing tones..
is connected with a fethead to an Audient ID 14 MK ll and into a Macbook with Logic Pro...
what shall I set the mic settings to?
what gain shall I set on the sound interface?
what shall I set all the settings in the Logic Pro to?
like decibel and volume?
I am a total beginner in recording and just bought my gear...
please advise....
thanks for a great channel
There are no general or one-size-fits-all settings for your set-up with the Shure SM7B. You will need to experiment to find the best settings for your work flow.. A strong vocalist may need to take a step or two back from the microphone. >Mark
I have an Elgato Wave DX with the Wave XLR right now and I'm wondering if there would be any point in upgrading to the Shure SM7B in the future and maybe a Bridgecast XLR interface what would you recommend
If your application demands stronger and punchier VO and a more advanced interface is part of your game plan, then seriously consider the
Roland BRIDGE CAST X Dual Bus Streaming Mixer and Video Capture BH #ROBRIDGECSTX (bhpho.to/49m7STQ) and the Shure SM7B Vocal Microphone (bhpho.to/3qrHZB6). You and your listeners will definitely hear the difference. >Mark
@@BandH Thanks this was very helpful
I think the "large diaphragm" bit isn't accurate (I can't find any mention of that anywhere else). Most sources say the 7 has essentially the same capsule as the 57 and 58. Other differences make for the smoother frequency response and lower output of the 7.
It does use the same capsule, it's just the housing that makes it's FR the way it is.
I hate that mic! That unnatural, booming sound annoys me. My money is with Lewitt… by a long shot
