Hello mate, you should put the other affiliate links aswell... I bought a Cloudlifter + my XLR cables thanks to your video. I think some of the people coming here already have the microphone !

@loganflowers400 Год назад

You really only need a audio interface, the mic, and the cloud lifter. The rest is preferences. Doesn't affect the sound much

Is there a specific extension cable you should use for the headphones, or will any work without reducing quality?

@LearnSpanishWorld Год назад

Nice video. Very informative....I heard you don't need a cloud lifter if you have a rodecaster pro 2. Is that correct? Thanks amigo

@jonathanlippe 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for this video. Excellent job. A question i have though, is if i'm recording into software like Camtasia, it seems like my Rodecaster levels and recording software levels conflict at times and i get 'hot' sounds at times. When i record directly to the MicroSD card in the Rodecaster i have much better results.

Another great tutorial! Thank you! I love my SM7B and seem to have it set up proper. I have been using the scarlett 2i2 with a cloudlifter, do you think changing my interface to the rodecaster pro would make a difference?

@nja1433 Год назад

Yes it would eliminate any type of hissing in your video and make it so infinitely better and it will save you time in post processing.

@ChrisHeidlebaugh Год назад

Great video. I have noticed my SM7B transfers the sound when I touch it throughout my audio chain. So Mic to Cloudlifter, to DBX286s, to Scarlett 2. But when I type or I touch the microphone, I hear the room and even me touching the mic. Like say I scratch the back end of the mic. It never did that before. Any tip what it can be?

@Fuinhaa Год назад

What is the Recording Device Level that you have on the computer ? Cause I can set it to 25, and have to increase the gain on my scarlett, or else I can set it to 80 and decrease the gain on the scarlett, which one would give you a better result ?

Hello, thank you for making this video. I bought exactly the same set that you recommend here, including the rode cast 2, and I have a Ssssss noise that remains even when setting the DB to 35 34. What else can I do to improve it? I invested more than 2 thousand dollars in the two sm7B microphones, two cloudlifters, the Rode caster console, 2 microphone bases and cables. Does anyone have any advice?

@Champdontplay_ 9 месяцев назад

@thisiskpalm 8 месяцев назад

I still have line noise with a cloud lifter... any idea why that is?

@powderedwater4742 Год назад

I have the Harmoney 224 interface, it goes up to 60db of gain and runs my sm7b with no cloud lifter very well with absolutely no audible noise at normal volume levels. obviously if you crank everything up to max you get some noise but you are never going to do that while recording so it makes no difference.

@via_negativa6183 6 месяцев назад

Yeah not sure if this guy is sponsored for this but needing a cloudlifter is out dated at this point and if you are getting this mic it's serious business so you should be treating the audio any way.

@SuperMaxGaming Год назад

Is the fethead still a good alternative to cloudlifter?

@Bobstern 11 месяцев назад

Just picked up the mic and Cloudlifter or in your vernacular..I “got it”. Great sound running into my Scarlett 2i2. Don’t need a mixer yet. I run into Audition. Just figuring out what settings to use on the mike. Going to start with flat. Thoughts?

Thank you.

@synthsploration9523 23 дня назад

Note: phantom power is for the cloud lifter. Dymanic mics normally do not use phantom power, so this may be a point of confusion in this set up.

@user-dx4cc8sn1e 9 месяцев назад

Hey i have cloudlifter, shure headphone, sm7b mic, and focusrite. It seems like the sound comes out either the headphones or laptop instead of my mic 🤦🏾‍♀️ what im doing wrong? Also, it doesn’t gives a professional sound, just my normal voice

@scottsoriero9827 Год назад

Thank you for that. I just purchased the SM7B with the Cloudlifter attached to a Scarlett 2i2 3r gen. It sounds amazing! There are many versions of the Shure Earbuds but the one I picked has the 3.5mm adapter plug for the Scarlett. Even with the gain knob at 3/4 turn, my mic is still a bit low. I place the mic as you did about 2" from my face too. I had to add some gain in OBS Studio to get the sound at a good level. I hate using gain because I know it derogates from the sound quality, but I had no choice. Thank you!

@juliuswilliams2360 4 месяца назад

Personally, if you want to monitor your own audio while in game or at all times like a audio junkie like myself. I recommend voicemod audio software. an added bonus is the voice changer that you can use or leave.

What software do you recommend recording in?

@mtbboy1993 Год назад

He uses Open Broadcasting Software to screen record, record audio. It's free. Most video editing software will let you record audio too.

@VIDSInsight 6 месяцев назад

I am a huge fan of the "a forever setup" idea. A lot of RU-vidrs who promote cheaper mics really do people a deservice - why waste money on cheaper stuff only to keep dreaming of the golden standard. Why not get the good stuff from the start? It's cheaper too, in the long run. It's not as if you have to buy SM7Bs or CloudLifters every month or week. And with the RTX Voice you can also get rid of background noise.💙

@STAYPROPER 2 месяца назад

The sm7b is a dynamic mic though so you don't even need phantom power to get it to work

@synthsploration9523 23 дня назад

The phantom power is for the cloudlifter.

You don't need a cloudlifter with this microphone..I have it with a GoXLR and it sounds just fine...my gain is not high, I have zero line noise...If you want to listen to what people say online and waste money then do what you want I guess. As far as the shure earbuds go..there's many other IEM's out there that provide way higher quality sound for gaming compared to these..not saying they are bad though

Phantom power only if ur using a cloudlifter!

@synthsploration9523 23 дня назад

Yeah, and if you are going to live stream, you need to boost the sm7b's signal unless you don't care about your audio quality. If that be the case, why did you buy the legendry sm7b? Even if you are going to remix or master your recording, why eff around with filtering line noise when you can just not induce it in the 1st place. Cloudlifter. Or equivalent (there really isn't one. At least for the sm7b, in my opinion. ) Don't listen to the people who say you don't need to signal boost it. I didn't use a cloudlifter with the sm7b I broadcasted with for 5 years, but I was in a friggin AM radio broadcasting studio. Not in a home studio, which is what this excellent setup video is about. The only thing I disagree with Andrew about is the headphone thing. I like wearing my DT 990 pros while live streaming. But that's probably because I was a radio broadcaster. I do admit Rogan looks a bit goofy with those Sennheiser HD 280s on his bald head, but his views don't seem to suffer much because of it.
