Sweetwater I literally never win anything, but if I don't win I hope someone else is super happy with it 💪❤️❤️
Which mic is better for a high vocalist singer ,sm7b or sm57b or sm58b
Should I use a steadman pop filter with the sm7b mic?
@@ramirezwilliam8983 I do and it sounds great
@@rootcellarmusicstudiorobku519 which question are you answering
I wish this guy did every single tutorial on RUclips.
He’s dope
Bad tutorial tbh
I second that.
😂
Quick and to the point
Probably one of the most informative, down-to-earth and just plain "understandable" explanation/tutorial style vids out there. Everything I needed to know in one video, after watching about 50 other crappy ones. Thanks Mitch and Sweetwater!
I am going through this struggle in real time. So hard to find out how to use this thing.....
Selling your products with information not show, beautiful
Agreed!
Exactly
Sweetwater is legit as hell
Thank you for this information
He allows people to use their Ears with informative demonstrations.. it’s still very useful and obviously has extensive experience..
For the streamer and podcaster settings: 5:20
- Leave the windscreen on
- Get close to the mic when speaking, about an inch (2.5 cm) away
- Bass roll off set flat
- Midrange enhance switch - In the flat position it will make your voice sound smoother. In the enhanced position it will help your voice cut through a little bit more.
Note: You need an inline preamp with this microphone. Recommend inline preamps:
- Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator
- sE Electronics DM1 Dynamite 1-Channel Active Inline Preamp
- Royer Labs dBooster In-Line Signal Booster
- Soyuz The Launcher Inline Active Preamp
- Radial McBoost
That’s how I run it! Except I use a fethead
What if you only have the ART voice channel strip w/no cloudlifter ?
No preamp needed with a Sound Devices Mix Pre3.
I was thinking about a cloud lifter, but instead, I opted for a GO XLR and I absolutely love it. Gives me the edge when trying to configure my sound.
@@chris977s The MixPre 3 and other audio recorders will provide enough gain saving the expense of an amp. Have a nice day!
Why can’t everybody sell products with such description like him? This makes life and the purchase much easier. Lol
The tone of my voice is naturally very thin, with this mic I sound like Don Lafontaine. I wish I can always use it when I'm talking to people even outside the studio.
You basically just sold me on this mic
ooooh cool! I'm excited for mine to arrive
In a world, where people sound like they're talking through an SM7B...
Because of the pandemic, I have been working from home. The healthcare services that I provide actually do not require my physical presence ( I just have to be able to observe and communicate), so I am on zoom all day. I have my sm7b set up just outside of the view of my webcam. And I am running that into my apollo interface and through a Manley VOXBOX channel strip. Having this level of control is really getting out of hand though. I think I have become MORE self conscious about my voice. I have a bunch of presets ready to go. That's right- my voice is EQed differently depending on who I talk to. Completely ridiculous... but everyone says my voice sounds immaculate.
The legendary Mitch Gallagher - keep doing what you do - your presenting skills are superb - what a voice - and knowledge ...he kept me motivated and thirsty for information during my degree in Sound Engineering and Music Production!
same!
I have the c214 but I just got this yesterday and it's an amazing mic. so clear and no harsh highs or super bassy lows, just a smooth experience.
Fantastic! Just bought this mic from you guys today. Really looking forward to putting it through its paces!
It's so refreshing to have such a straight-forward succinct review. Love it.
Videos like these would have been worth a fortune to musicians back in the 70's - when I started playing music.
Great for vocals but depending on the pre amps being used I would also recommend a cloud lifter. Lotta noise if they don't match up well. Great for adlibs when people are getting a bit louder, it holds vocals down and together nicely.
This helped a lot! Clear explanation, and I particularly found the comparisons with the switches supremely informative. Thank you!
Great video! Mitch, you are a great presenter and really engage the viewer. You really sold this mic. I can always count on good, easy-to-understand content, all presented in a professional way. I love Sweetwater and the professional, knowledgeable staff!
This is fantastic. I've had this for 6 months now and never found the function on the back of the mic. Thanks Sweetwater
For me, that is the best option to start recording voice and guitar amp. Just perfect!
If you start with this, as in this is your first recording mic, you will be way ahead of the game!
I watched a ton of videos for this microphone and no one mentioned the switches. Thank you!
Easily the BEST microphone tutorial I've ever seen. Thumbs UP!
Thank you Sweetwater, I just purchased a Shure sm7B Microphone from your company today and I am really looking forward to using this mic for my online radio show and other vocal projects in the near future
Great review. That is the kind of review I was looking for to know more about the microphone and how it works. The demonstration and the information that was given was very helpful thank you very much.
Thank you so much for this video.
I bought my SM7B second hand pretty much 2 years ago to the day, and had no idea that their were switches on the back that change the output recording frequency. And I call myself a professional...
Goes to show that there's no end when it comes to learning. And that I really, really need to look deeper into hardware before I buy it.
Thank you, again. Liked and Subscribed.
bro same. Shit blew my mind that there were switches on the back lmao
This is one of the greatest mic tutorials I have seen - Thanks
I just got one and this video is super helpful. Manual has very little information on setup or recommended uses and examples on the frequency shaping switches. Thank you so much Mitch.
Great tutorial, best demonstration of the effect of the switches I found!
Very detailed points Mitch. Thank you!
Mitch what a beautiful recording of a live set man
Thank you so much for this @sweetwater ! I’ve owned my SM7B for a few years now and never even knew those switches existed.
Would love to win this Shure classic mic! Thanks Sweetwater for all you do to keep music alive and kickin!
these tips are hands down sick, seriously thank you so much
This was helpful. New to the SM7B from SW. Thanks, Mitch
I would love to know what mic you all are using during the video...Thanks for the video!
Sweetwater The Shure go to place for all my audio engineering needs ..
Wow, this was super informative. In fact, you've convinced me to buy one asap!
The SM7B is an excellent dynamic mic for recording in environments that haven’t been acoustically treated, as well as in studio. This is why you see a lot of podcasters and streamers use this mic: you sound great while the mic rejects a lot of the room noise.
If you’re thinking of using this mic for professional Voice Over, I would caution against over-relying on the proximity effect to make yourself sound more resonant. Producers and engineers know it when they hear it. But if you’re banging out a quick audition in your bedroom or on-the-go, it’s a great microphone to have in your arsenal.
Which Which super clean inline mic preamp is best for the Shure sm7b mic?
blah blah. They use it because it's a trend not because it's actually good.
What would you recommend to use after the sm7b if you find yourself using the proximity effect too much? Cloud lifter included
@@IceManGav1 Depends on budget. I currently use an Audio Technical AT2020 as my condenser mic (which is a fairly decent budget option, in my opinion). If money is less of an issue, I’d recommend the Neumann TLM 103. After that, it’s all about the discipline to keep your head the proper distance from the mic.
@@IceManGav1it ain't a gear problem. If you can't get a good sound with the sm7 , then keep trying until you do. Countless podcasters , voice over people , musicians etc use it successfully.
WOW so nice .Sweetwater always does great videos.
Great video, although I’m a long-time user of this microphone, I still learned a couple of new things. Thank you
The SM7B is so good that he is speaking i to it unplugged, and he sounds great!!
A really informative video. I especially liked the demonstration of the various switch positions.
It was a pleasure to listen to your explanations👍
Anything with Mitch is great information. Thanks for these videos
You’re a real pro! Thank you for the rundown.
Amazing video. Thanks Mitch and team!!
I plan on getting a Vision Pro! I love your video's! Thank You!!!
Bought one of these from Sweetwater to do a sound gig. My sales engineer, Dave B., recommended it and he nailed it. Great Mic. When I use it on a live gig the others get "Mic envy". Lol!
Thanks for the info about the inline preamp
Just purchased one yesterday and it sounds great! Now that i have heard the presence boost, i think i will set it back to flat, it sounded so natural.
Marc Cholette what kind of preamp do you have I purchased one last month but the preamp that I already owned for my last mic didn’t have enough gain and had a lot of background noise for the sm7b
whats interface u use with it?
Appreciate the clear info and demonstration!
I feel like I want to listen to this man forever
Midrange enhance sounds sooo good!
I'm trying to get into Voice Acting so I'm doing a whole lot of research and found this video. Thanks for helping me a little bit more!
Bro you are a literal GOD, thank you, beautiful presentation, and taught me everything I needed to know! I just got mine today!
Great video, I like how you get to the point without saying too much.
Great video. I just got a 7B from sweetwater and this was really helpful on getting me started from a good spot.
Very informative and useful video! The cloudlifter is a no brainer when you have this mike. It’s really powerless without some extra db. 😁👍🎧🎶
This was super helpful, thank you!!
Great video.... thanks, guys. I'm really getting a lot out of the SM-7B in my home studio.
What a beautiful video. Very appreciated on my end.
Thank you for all the great videos!
Literally sold me! Awesome video!
The SM7B is my go-to mic
Greta Video. I am starting off my music career from Australia. i am obsessed with this mic. You have convinced me!
My top all around microphone right here! Love it!
Great video extremely helpful!! Thank you very much 🙏🏼 this must be an official video by Shure 🤩 and a must-watch for buyers and part of the user manual! Seriously.
Amazing stuff here, Wish people could be this informative. I learnt a lot. thanks.
Great video! Learned a lot
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO
I've had my SM7B for about 7 years, I just NOW added the presence boost. WOAH!
Does it make a difference? 😛😛
Daniel Rays I think that’s obvious
I’ve messed with it more since then. I actually like it better with just the bass roll off on. And it’s amazing.
This Guy is amazing im completely in Love with this video, thank you so much!
Great Video - Very informative, thank you! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
great video mitch thank you for doing this
Thanks for the demo. I actually didn't know anything about the SM7B, except that Michael Jackson used it on Thriller and a lot broadcasters use it. Seem pretty versatile. If I were shopping for a dynamic mic right now, I'd also be considering the Aston Stealth, as it's a similar concept, but also has a built-in phantom-powered preamp.
Bruce Swedien also used this mic on George Benson for all the recordings done by Benson and produced by Quincy Jones. I went to a seminar in L.A and asked Swedien if he really used this mic on Jackson instead of Neumanns,and he said YES!
This is an excellent vocal microphone! Would love to have one for myself 😬
Thank you for this! I wish I would have watched this when I originally bought this mic 4 years ago haha
I picked up the sE Dynamite for mine...nice clean boost...worth it.
Great Vid! Thanks for all the info
Mitch, he's the man. Thank you.
Danzig used this one. Great for intense lower register vocals.
Mitch Galleger,
I'm a armature radio operator
Been running the shure sm7b for 18 years, absoluly awsome..mic, I do run. The base roll off.
Great product.
Ira ke4ex
Thanks for the great info! I'm about to get one of these and set up my own home studio for doing better narration for my RUclips videos and maybe try doing some voice over work. Looking forward to playing with it.
Very nice! Need to pick up one of these someday.
I LOVE a CloudLifter on my SM7B...really adds a lot to "lift" it up out of any mix, or for VO's and Foley...
Great breakdown. I utilize the Sm7b through a cloud lifter into my dbx 286s into my focusrite scarlett 18i8 and wondered if fiddling with the roll off and presence boost could help with the clarity prior to equalizing.
*Fantastic video and advice!*
What about the dbx286s preamp/processor?
Thank you so much! Great explanation! 👏🏼
super helpful, thanks so much!
Excellent. Thank you!!! 😄
Very helpful. Thanks.
Fantastic video, thank you!
Good tips. I need to get closer. I have the windscreen and a pop filter about 3 inches away from the mic, then I have another 3 inches between my mouth and the pop filter.
That's where I've been going wrong with this mic
This video is amazing !
Damn I didn't know I can engage those switches. Thank you so much lol!
🙏🏾 Thank you. This video was very informative. 💎💎💎
My back panel was upside down if mounted on a normal mic stand, it was setup for hanging from the top. Getting all those washers centered on the shaft so the knobs would fit back on. Use something to protect your hand those knobs will rough up your skin. You can also flip it the other way so the XLR is on the back of the mount.
Great review
Amazing video! Thanks goodness you talked about that need of a clean Preamp. Those are expensive too and add up to 30% the cost of the mic.
holy cow so many good tips
Paired this with an SSL2+ (Both from Sweetwater)... Great affordable studio solution. For real!
