Tysm dear sir....my massive search for microphones for singing on Smule ENDED here. Congratulations for such a comprehensive info at one place. Thank you verrrrry much.Love ❤
I am new to Smule (lifelong singer). I bought the Rode NT USB, so it plugs right into a hub for my iPad. Learning how to set it up for good sound, and appreciate your content.
@@kristylovesm sure! I bought a hub with a usb-c plug that goes into the iPad. The hub receives the usb mic. The mic I bought has a headphone jack for monitoring sound. This is the one I bought, which is no longer available, but you can find something like it USB C Hub, iTeknic USB C Adapter 9-in-1 Dongle with 4K HDMI, RJ45 Ethernet, 3 USB-A Data Transfer, SD/TF Card Slots, Mic/Audio, PD Charging, Compatible for MacBook Air/Pro and Type C Laptops www.amazon.com/dp/B07TT9P9KQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_2Y2KYHCPDAASWMM68G88?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Hi, thanks for the great info! Unfortunately if you are using a USB-C device you’ll also need a hub/adapter. I’ve had great success with the QGeeM model using the USB port. Everything works perfectly. I also would like to mention if others have the same issue of distortion that I had when using the mic on the earbuds then the Shure SM58 is the way to go. I haven’t had any issues since switching over. I am so happy with my new setup! Thanks again!
I can't believe that no one said it yet, so I will: what a beautiful song! I just listened to it on Spotify, beautiful melody and beautifully sung, arranged, played and recorded! Awesome stuff!
Yes. Actually I wrote the first verse for a bit of fun to try out some mics in a previous video. A number of people mentioned they would like to hear the rest of the song, so I finished it off :) I would be absolutely honoured if you added it to your repertoire:) let me know so I can check it out, thank you :)
Thank you for the help and info. I’ve been wondering for a while how people have been doing this on Smule. It really helps if you have a wonderful voice like Suzie.
Suzie has a beautiful voice. I’m so glad to know that it’s possible to use these microphones without actually wearing headphones!! Can you recommend some earphones to use with these types of microphones? Thank you so much for your video!! It was well-made! 🥰🥰🥰
great vid mike. as you know i opted for the rode and love it.......i also think your wife could sing into any mic and sound fantastic. keep em coming brother!!!!!
First up, Suzy is a great singer..no matter which mic she uses, her voice is unbelievable...I have an iRig Pro and a SHure SM58. When I try to sing on smule, the voice sounds muffled. Is there any additional setting I need to change? I use a Bose QC35 II headphone. And how did you mount the phone/tablet in front of the mic? It would be helpful if you can share that too.
I just bought the 3rd mic, plus the rig, a microphone isolation shield, and mic cables. 🎤 can't wait to try it out! Nice video really informative and to the point! 👍💯
Hi, thank you for your very informative video... Will Rode NT1 work with XLR to 3.5mm connector? Instead of getting the Pre HD iRig? Or having the iRig is a must? Thank you!
I use android and my vocal chain is this: my voice - popshield - shure sm58 - XLR cable - Roland Quad Capture pre amp - 1/4" jack to usb cable (I use the one that came with the pc game Rocksmith) - USB dongle for my phone (large USB female to USB-C) - Oneplus 5T phone. The Roland quad capture needs power via usb, so I have to have my PC powered up for it to work. This unit is obsolete now anyway, just find a pre-amp that has a plug for power rather than USB. I get great audio recordings and can even have my wall fan on in the room and it wont come out in the recording. My smule name is Wigamondo if you want to check out ho wit sounds.
@@CreativeSauce And this whole time I've been using a mic that I can plug into my phone but when I listen to the song I sang 1 second into the song in like -it sounds horrible🤣🤣
The was helpful but there is one thing that could have helped me further. I would like to use an AC adapter instead of batteries. A model number would be helpful for others as well as. myself. I can't seem to find it on Amazon.
Hello ! Thanks for the information. Can you tell me please how you connect the last micro with the telephone ? You have not explained but just present this micro. Thanks by advance.
Thank you very much of the sharing, that's amazing . May I ask how to singing on the smule and at the same time do the live broadcast on social media such as RUclips, fb or ig ?I am new on smule and finding a way to sing live broadcast outdoors while walking. Is there any handy way, thanks !
Hi thanks for the video, can you create another on how to use a audio mixer with Smule. Although the mic way is an alternative but there's no way to adjust individual sound settings. The first mic is abt to clip, the last mic picks up too much plosive.
Hey! Thanks for the video ... can you make a video showing how make connection ... with Presonus AudioBox 96 Studio Package ... on iPad to use with Smule app... thanks
Great video, Mike, clear and concise. I don’t use Smule but I do record my own songs and I have an NT1A. Suzie’s voice sounded really good, can you spill the beanz on the processing you used (delay and reverb) ? Or is it a standard pre-set in Smule? Either way it was ideal for Suzie’s voice and the mood if the song. 👍 Great work, thanks.
i have to say i really like her singing and I am a very particular person and doesn't like most of the singers these days LOL. I get goosebumps when I don't like someone's singing, my body is very honest. This time I don't get goosebumps so I got to enjoy the whole time she was singing
Wow thank you so much! Now I know what to get, I have a question is there a Balance we should keep With the vocal volume ? Sometimes my voice sounds louder than the music, playing So… I wondered if you should keep both at the same level? Hope I make sense
A very nice presentation I have a small question. How to use the iRig to sing and record with a pre-recorded track for the song, or sing live with one? It would be great if you could help! thanks
Lovely video Sir. Very useful. Just need to know if the is a similar way of capturing the video through an additional camera without relying on the phone camera
Hi, I have just bought the iRig Pre HD, I already owned a Shure SM58 and bought the adapter for the end of the lead to plug it into my Samsung s10e (usb C), I've tried to record something in Smule with it set up as shown but when I listen back to the recording there's lots of 'buzzing' noise? Help! What am I doing wrong?! TIA
Thanks for a helpful and very well produced video. And my question has more to do with the latter - what is your mike and where the heck is it? Love your audio clarity and levels - which seem to quite happily absorb your moving your head around a bit as you speak. You post-process your audio at all? (I am going to look through your YTs to see if you've covered this somewhere else :) But overall, great work - thank you. Anyone making instructional or informational videos would do well to model theirs on your work. Cheers matey. (and my thanks to your lady - a very pleasant way of hearing the comparisons)
Haha - thanks. Actually in this video I used a very cheap 'lav' mic taped to my chest under my shirt. These mics, also called 'lapel mics' are often clipped to clothing - but I dont like the way it looks on a t-shirt, so I tape it to my chest. I think the brand is 'Boya' and it cost something like $25! Will pass thank onto Suzi - and yes, shes a joy to sing with :)
Wonderful information ! I’m going to order one of these mics this week. Quick question if anyone can answer -if you don’t want the over ear headphones to record videos, what type of wireless is best to use in conjunction with the mics ?
Awesome video and tips!! I definitely need to try this!! How do you be able to here the music and sing? Would I need an earpiece for that? Thanks again!! Subscribed!! 😇 ❤
Oh my gosh!! Thank you so much for this video!!! I don’t like the way it looks for people to have those earphones dangling from their head while singing through that little mic so I have been hesitant to even download smule until I found an alternative microphone. I don’t know why I have not found your video before now. Your song is amazing!!! And Susie sings it beautifully! I’m going to download it in to my personal playlist. The two of you are very talented. ❤️
Thank you for your very informative video, much appreciated. Just wondering if you can help me with my recording setup for Smule. I have the following equipment: 1. Samsung A70 phone (also have iPhone 6+ if necessary) 2. Roland Rubix 24 USB audio interface 3. Shure SM58 microphone Would appreciate any advice you can give. Many thanks in advance.
android version of smule kinda sucks but i actually use my iphone with a 3.5mm to lightning adapter with the original irig pre or irig pre 2 which has a 3.5mm jack, along with a shure beta 87a condenser, also have the shure sm58 dynamic i used to use. the irig pre original or 2 would connect directly to any device with a headphone jack, so old iphones, androids, ipads, tablets, computers, etc
Thank u so much. I have one question. I have the Rode Mike and Go Vocal Tool. I have the Problem that i can Not hear myself in the headphone. Any Idea?
Can;t agree with you more. I use the SM58 and the IRig PRE HD and is just fantastic. But what aroused my curiousity was the connector from the iRig Pre HD to the microphone. Just a small connection and saves the mess of cables all over. Where can I buy this connector and does it have a name for it. Thanks
Thanks for this. I definitely need this. What is the difference between the iRig Pre HD microphone interface and the iRig Pre 2 XLR Mic Interface and Preamp? The second one is definitely more affordable for me. I only want it for recording my singing on the Smule app on my iPhone 11, and I just want good quality vocals. I already have a condenser mic. What do you advise?
The second mic sounds the best in this video IMO. However, are there other condensor mics that sound even better?? Perhaps the best one in the market.... regardless the price?? 🤔 And also, how about adding a compressor so that no matter how loud or how quiet you sing, the volume will remain exactly at the same level?? 🤔
If you're a DECENT singer, that magic filter will make you sound like a dam celebrity. I've recorded a few songs and I feel like I could make it as a singer now lol it literally does the perfect amount of pitch correction, reverb, and mixing WITHOUT making it sound unnatural and fake. It sounds so authentic and real. It's crazy.
Hi.. thank you for this very useful video. I want to listen ONLY TO THE KARAOKE and not my voice in the headphones while singing. How this can be done? Will the headphone port in the phone still work? Please reply Thanks
Amazing video I have been struggling to find the best combo, but I need help I can’t hear the microphone or if I do it’s really low or goes in and out any ideas? Thank you so much and thanks again for the video
Good morning, to connect the condenser microphone on the iphone is fine even if I buy the model IK Multimedia iRig Pro I / O MIDI interface, 24 bit / 96kHz, with both battery and power supply? Thank you! Best regards and happy new year. John

I would be absolutely honoured if you added it to your repertoire:) let me know so I can check it out, thank you :)
I'm using AT2020 microphone with an iRig Pre HD interface and i'm happy about it. It sounds fantastic.
This is a great video. It covers three microphones that will cover all singers needs. Great job!
Thank you for the help and info. I’ve been wondering for a while how people have been doing this on Smule. It really helps if you have a wonderful voice like Suzie.
Fantastic advice! Been using the irig since I saw this video. Thank you so much!
Thank you for saving my Smule career⚘🙌🏾⚘
Suzie has a beautiful voice. I’m so glad to know that it’s possible to use these microphones without actually wearing headphones!!

Agreed, fantastic voice
Thank you v much, just what i need to know. Singer has a v beautiful voice , and your presentation is v clear, thank you v v much.
Really good tutorial - very lucid, and Suzi has a lovely voice!
I really love this video. Finally iv have found the right equipment I need yes

I have a sound system similar to yours. The best way to crisp your voice is adding an equalizer in the system or microphone changing.
You are a good man😊 given a thumbs up... saved it for my own reference and for friends 😊 thank you!!
What a beautiful voice
I just bought the 3rd mic, plus the rig, a microphone isolation shield, and mic cables. 🎤 can't wait to try it out! Nice video really informative and to the point! 👍💯
How was it?
@@zYuL05 works great! Big difference for sure!
@@jtreal I'm thinking whether I should buy it or not
@@jtreal what's your Smule name?
@@zYuL05 JT RealSings
Very helpful video indeed. Thanks for making it . Some of the items sadly are not stocked anymore at Amazon at least in the UK
I feel the studio effect does enough post-processing there's very minor differences.
Hi, thank you for your very informative video... Will Rode NT1 work with XLR to 3.5mm connector? Instead of getting the Pre HD iRig? Or having the iRig is a must? Thank you!
Thanks very much for posting this. Would the standard Irig pre work or does it need to be the HD version? Thanks.
This is the video that i will recommend for people asking me how to use condenser microphones for iphones without 3.5 mm jack. :) thanks so much sir!
I use android and my vocal chain is this: my voice - popshield - shure sm58 - XLR cable - Roland Quad Capture pre amp - 1/4" jack to usb cable (I use the one that came with the pc game Rocksmith) - USB dongle for my phone (large USB female to USB-C) - Oneplus 5T phone.
