    I liked the 2nd mic for her voice better. It sounds a little bright but with a high roll off and saturation you can get it warm and keep some dynamics. Just my 2 cents.

      I felt that the SM27 had a much more 'open' 'airy' sound. The SM7B had a bit of a 'blanket' thrown over the clarity.

    I was gonna get the ksm32 to replace my sm7b but glad she pick the sm7b. I like sm27 but my voice just work better with dynamic mic. Sm7b is dynamic mic it doesn’t need a pop filter and is best for non treated room because it only pick up your voice. If u can get a stereo interface or a stereo plug in this mic can sound incredibly better.

    This was awesome! Do you have any videos on how to edit your vocals so they sound nice and smooth, for example - what’s the right amount of bass and treble just vocal editing stuff like that? Or maybe how to stack vocals properly? Or maybe just how to get clean sounding vocals. Just a thought!🤔 your content is very helpful and I really appreciate all the hard work you all put in to make such brilliant and entertaining videos. 😊

    Hi there, that was fun, thanks! Mind sharing why you chose to keep the vocals between -18 and -10. What level do you go for on the other instruments. And the final mix? I suspect there’s a video out there that answers all this.

    • @Yoko3034
      @Yoko3034 2 роки тому

      It's so that the mic doesn't clip the audio as well as have headroom for the mixing / mastering phase.

    • @who_is_dis
      @who_is_dis Рік тому

      Also a lot of plugins, analog emulations especially work best with an input signal of around that -18 range. (Not -18 peaks, but average volume, usually a separate indicator in the monitoring bar).
