What is Reddit's opinion of Shure SM7B Vocal Dynamic Microphone for Broadcast, Podcast & Recording, XLR Studio Mic for Music & Speech, Wide-Range Frequency, Warm & Smooth Sound, Rugged Construction, Detachable Windscreen - Black?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Shure SM7B. That's pretty much the best mic for anything. The cost is $399 (just the mic). You'll have to spend a little more if you want a stand as well.

Here's a listing from Amazon

Depends on what your idea of "best" is. The snowball is probably the best budget option. If you're looking for the best high end option, the Shure SM7B is the way to go. Link here.

Yeah that would work fine, only problem is the included cable would not work for you planned setup (Nor do I think it works in general and would trash it or sell it on craigslist). Other than the interface being plugged into power it will run almost any microphones fine (One notable exception I can think of for podcasting is the Shure SM7b, but that is also a very expensive microphone which is generally seen more on more professional podcasts, think Joe Rogan or Rooster Teeth Podcast)

Thanks for the reply! Already have AT MX50s for headphones from my college radio days thankfully.

The strip seemed attractive to tackle a lot of the noise issues I expected to run into using the 4040 mic. I'll be recording in an apartment so noise reduction is going to be the biggest challenge.

Maybe it would better to spend that money on a dyncmic mic like the Shure SM7B?

Looks like one of these.

And since its XLR, you need an interface to go with it.

You could probably record a nuclear explosion on it. Road podcaster dynnamic could work well also cheaper I believe too

Glad to hear it, hah!

I would also take a look at an SM7B which fits into your price range. It's a dynamic microphone, but one of the best of it's kind - Pretty sure it's the vocal microphone on Michael Jacksons 'Thriller' album.

If you're into primarily recording vocals, i'd suggest getting an SM7B if that's your pricerange, as that's probably the best sound you are going to get outside of $3,000 Condesner microphones.

besides adoption from mainstream artists, the biggest nft potential at the infrastructure layer is #CrossChainNFT, covering meta attributes but also supporting richer on-chain rendering such as uniswap's v3 nft.

or, who's ready to go crazy and build harmony.one/1world?

ps. i have this mic ready for the next call.

Kyle's Setup

Microphone (Shure SM7B) - https://www.amazon.com/Shure-SM7B-Dynamic-Microphone-Cardioid/dp/B0002E4Z8M/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=shure+sm7b&qid=1549674292&sr=8-2

That runs into a clean gain booster, Cloudlifter (I didn't know he wasn't running this since he got his Shure in 2014. Once I learned that, I had him get one and he's been running that for about a month and a half now) https://www.amazon.com/Cloud-Microphones-CL-1-Cloudlifter-1-channel/dp/B004MQSV04/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=cloudlifter&qid=1549674274&sr=8-5

Which goes into his mixer: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CTKI10A/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Now if someone wanted to run this setup, I would say don't get the Behringer, they have problems but most of the time they're fine. But you want to get a Focusrite Scarlett https://www.amazon.com/Focusrite-Scarlett-Audio-Interface-Tools/dp/B01E6T50LY/ref=sr_1_12?keywords=cloudlifter&qid=1549674274&sr=8-12 or Mackie Onyx https://www.amazon.com/Mackie-Producer-Interface-Bundle-Polishing/dp/B07GJWQQM3/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=mackie+onyx&qid=1549674443&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1 (I recommend the Onyx but they're both fucking great, used both, currently running the Mackie in my new studio setup)

Taylor's Setup

Same exact setup as Kyle, even though I told them to get him this Blue Micrphone TUBE arm: https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Compass-Premium-Tube-Style-Broadcast/dp/B078MLBGRM/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=blue+microphone+arm&qid=1549674585&sr=8-5

It's a way better arm. Kyle is using the standard Rode arm & either that's what Taylor's got now or he's using a super cheap ass one. But no way that cheap ass one would work with the Shure's weight, so he probably got a rode. But I recommended they both get the Blue tube arm.

Woody's Setup

Microphone (Electro-Voice RE20):

His preamp/mixer is all in his rack that's mounted with his PC which is down by his knee. I forget what he's using cause it's been many, many years since he built that thing.

The microphone arm he is using is the cadillac of microphone studio boom arms the K&M 23860: https://www.amazon.com/23860-Microphone-Desk-Arm-Black/dp/B00AXMM0L2?tag=paidinsi-20

The Shure SM7B and Electro-Voice RE20 are the gold standard for radio and podcast production in studios. You can't go wrong. But if you get the SM7B then you need a pre-amp or something that's going to give you an additional 20-40db of clean gain.

If you don't have that Cloudlifter and just use it with that mixer, then you have to crank the fuck out of the gain which greatly increases and raises your noies floor. So you'll be audible and sound good, but you'll still get lots of white noise/background noise.

In my setup it's the Shure SM7B, Mackie Onyx, Cloudlifter, Blue Mic arm and quality XLR cables. When I plan to expand and add more microphones to do several people in studio productions. I'll create a rack unit VERY similar to what Lefty is currently running. With an electricity conditioner and the same preamp he has that I researched on my own and it's perfect for getting the clean gain added that you need so you don't need the cloud.

he is using a Shure SM58 in this live video - they are about $100 and a pretty standard vocal mic for live shows - this one most likely belonged to the venue he was at. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFAjiDp4r0s

Here at home he has a bit more serious studio mic, its a <strong>Shure SM7B Cardioid Dynamic Microphone</strong> that costs about $400 https://www.q935.com/tag/powfu/

Here's a good article about home studio on a budget that actually includes and interview with Rapper Isaiah Faber (AKA Powfu) https://nymag.com/strategist/article/best-beginner-home-recording-studio-equipment.html and talks about the SM7B

There's honestly no point in talking about what can you do to improve besides getting a dedicated mic.

I have an ok mic (at2020) and even that still falls short compared to a LOT of channels and streamers. The simple answer is that they use industry-standard high quality voice mics and will ALWAYS sound better.

Sound is just one of those things that isn't solved by some miracle piece of software or trick. The best way to improve your audio to improve your hardware.

Once you have something decent then you can figure out a way to make it sound better but it will never sound as good as someone with significantly better equipment than you.

If you care to know why they sound better than other channels then these are the two likely reasons and I'm totally jealous of them:

https://smile.amazon.com/Electro-Voice-RE20-Broadcast-Microphone-Variable-D/dp/B00KCN83V8/

Either the sm7b or the mv7 from shure would be great!

I really couldn't say. On paper, it's the type of mic you'd use for streaming and let's plays. but to be honest, anything made by Razer is usually made by a 3rd party company, rebranded, and marked up in price. Same goes for a lot of "gaming" brands.

If you want the absolute best mic for streaming / lets plays, I think there are really only two choices - the Shure SM7B or the Electrovoice RE20. However, they are expensive as hell. $400 for the mic alone, and you'll need a Cloudlifter most likely (another $120), and a pre-amp like a Scarlet Focusrite Solo (another $120), plus xlr cables, mount, etc. I wouldn't make this kind of monetary commitment unless you are rich and don't care or are already earning enough revenue to cover the expenses.

I went middle of the road. I use a Rode Procaster

Shure SM7B

Deal link: Amazon

> For that price I'd expect the arm to come with a mic.

This is the type of arm you would use with an SM7B.

The microphone is the most expensive part of it. Pretty sure it's a Shure SM7B. She also has a boom arm to hold it, not sure which one she uses, but Shure makes a decent one. This microphone has a XLR connector on it, so you'll need an XLR cable and a XLR audio interface to connect it to your computer. I think she uses this one, but if you search online there are many to choose from. Depending on your budget, what features you want, and what expandability you want (1, 2, or 4 mic inputs) it's worth doing some research and shopping around for this.

The audio interface should show up as a standard microphone device in the computer, from the software side I think she just uses OBS and Stream Labs.

Sweet ! For any people who are knowledgeable about xlr microphones and audio interfaces. I ould this ai be compatible with Shure SM7B Vocal Dynamic Microphone, Cardioid https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0002E4Z8M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_W2VHFbPDQC507

Hold off on the cloudlifter until you're absolutely sure the preamp on your interface won't cut it. A vocal track that peaks somewhere low like at -24dBFS is fine if you're recording into a 24 bits interface, that's still 21 bits of resolution.

As far as I can see, the SM7B comes standard with a screw mount, as seen here that you can just screw into a standard microphone stand like this.

To get it connected to your macbook, you also need a USB audio interface. Good affordable audio interfaces are a dime a dozen, I generally recommend these because they're a quality brand that has been making interfaces for a long time.

You'll also probably need an XLR cable to connect it up.

Hi there. I'll be buying a <strong>Shure SM7B Cardioid Dynamic Microphone</strong> and with that I read that I'll likely need a few other things so I wanted to run it by here to see if it makes sense.

First, there's this stand that says it's for a Yeti, does that mean I couldn't also use it for this microphone. Microphone Stand for Blue Yeti and Blue Yeti Pro with Mic Windscreen and Double layered screen Pop Filter Heavy Duty Boom Scissor Arm Stands,Broadcasting and Recording

I also read that I'd likely need <strong>Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator</strong>.

Is there anything else I might need here? I will need to plug this into my macbook pro so no idea how that will go down yet. Money isn't really a big option here, this is sort of an early retirement present to myself. All help would be appreciated.

(This is one resource I got some of this info from https://www.reddit.com/r/VoiceActing/comments/b7d5i2/the_true_price_of_the_shure_sm7b/)

Also, I have a sort of belty voice so that's why I really want to do this right for the type of voice that I have. I'd also like to get into voice acting if possible.

It looks similar to Shure SM7B

I just bought a Shure SM7b and attached it to my RODE PSA1 and im getting a lot of bassy desk noises and sounds that whenever I lean on or hit against my desk even lightly it will carry through to my mic and it's really iterating. I thought the purpose of a boom arm was to reduce this. Will drilling the holder that it came with through my desk and using it that way opposed to the desk clamp make a difference? I'm having a tough time solving this issue.

Edit: If it also helps at all I am using a BEHRINGER XENYX QX1002USB and Cathedral Pipes Ribbon/Dynamic Mic Buffer Amp

Here's the mic

Here's the arm

I wouldn't say that there is a "best mic" out there, since once you get to a certain price point getting $500 microphones is basically pointless for YouTube.

Since you want to go without acoustic foam, a dynamic microphone is probably best. I see a ton of twitch streamers with the Shure SM7B, and it seems to produce damn good audio quality. Though a much cheaper ATR2100 has similar sound quality. I would HIGHLY reccomend getting some higher end equipment with compression, EQ, decent gain control, etc. for a cheaper microphone then spending most of your budget on an expensive mic. With some decent editing and hardware you can make any mic sound good. (within reason)

As a side note, most acoustic foam and room foam stuff is to remove echo and other unwanted stuff that will come across in any microphone. If your room has hard wood floors or is very echo-ey then there's not much spending more on a microphone can do for that, unfortunately. The best you can do without getting some foam is to lower your gain, talk closer to the mic, and edit the audio in post with some noise reduction and echo reduction filters.

this one is pretty good.

is that it? SM7B? thanks for helping btw :3

What higher-end programs do you have access to? You'll have more options most likely than Audacity. Even Reaper is a better choice for editing/processing/mixing.

Getting something to dampen the wall now might help, but it's unlikely to be able to tell without doing a full room acoustic analysis.

USB microphones pale in comparison to regular XLR microphones and a good recording interface, because of the sheer difference in sound card quality. Basically, all the A/D conversion in a USB microphone is shafted for convenience. I have an Audio-Technica AT2020, and a Blue Yeti Pro, and the AT2020 through my Focusrite is much better.

I've done some listening to you and to Matt Shea. From what I can tell, he's got some audio issues as well, but he also uses compression, EQ, and other effects. You come across clearly, but the timbre (natural fundamentals) of your voice is cut through by noise reduction. Noise reduction is NOT a catch-all; it should be used sparingly. I usually go by this rule: Try to make your processed audio match the original sound as much as possible.

Those are a couple of suggestions. You're already ahead of the curve with the shock mount. Now you just need to use some more advanced software and upgrade your microphone. I think maybe switching to a dynamic microphone could work for your voice. Something like the Shure SM7B or similar (SM7B's are expensive).

I hope I gave you some insight on improving. If you have more questions, make sure to ask!

Damn, $350 on amazon. No idea if that is much for professional mics though.
