I just upgraded to this from an MV7... finally USB-C yayyy!!! (I think I only have 1 micro-usb device in my possession now..) I set the custom colours for outer-edge, edge and centre as black, using the value 0000 in the customiser - so now it really is off... unless it's muted ;)
The MV7 is the perfect USB standalone mic, the desktop app which allows you to tweak and perfect your own sound (dark mode, etc) is fantastic. I did have some trouble with plosives on the MV7 when you are close to the mic, but otherwise probably the best $200 ish dollar option. Since then, I have stepped up to dual SM7B’s with a Rodecaster Pro 2 (thanks for that vid guys), it’s never ending.
You can actually turn the LED off, but it's a stupid way to do it. In LED setting, change colour to black. It's dumb to do it this way, but it works perfectly.
Great video! I am hesitating between this MV7+ AND SM7DB + interface shure MVX2U (to make it USB). Which one would you recommend? Also does the MV7+ requires a boost or interface to improve sound or can be use with laptop/iphone? Thank you!
Considering how good it sounds and the easy / flexibility of use, I would recommend the MV7+. I already have an SM7B + Rodecaster Pro II, and for most people can still recommend the MV7+
I’m a little gutted, I bought my MV7 about to months ago, I wasn’t going to buy until summer but took a plunge. I love it don’t get me wrong but I really wish I waited.
I have seen people complain about how it often disconnects with USB C did you have any problems like that? and how is it for non podcast content creation cus i want a more premium audio quality for my content(thinking about getting it for christmas) is there any other mics you would recommend more for gaming? Also im VERY VERY Prone to plosives so would I need something external like a pop cover? Sorry if my questions are a bit long😅 love your content BTW❤ you got another lifetime sub.
We love the questions! I’ve been using it for months now, when traveling and at home and haven’t had those connection issues. This would be great for non-podcast content as well. While it has a pop filter already, you can get another (that looks like the circular filters on an arm) and put it in front of the mic as well and that should really cut the plosives down!
Does the post processing affect the settings in all apps or just the software for the mic? So if I apply the popper stopper will that apply to OBS as well?
It you want the look and sound of the SM7bB, that setup would be great. IF you're just starting out, the MV7 also sounds great and is more flexible being USB and XLR. Great for travel too.
@@Riversidefm Okay - I just the SM7dB and the mvx2u. Sounds amazing- it's got a noticeable noise ceiling popping into all the audio clips. Using Audicity- I was able to completely remove the noise (search 'remove noise using audacity' on youtube). For the convenience, I think it's worth it even with needing to remove the noise manually. The sound is so golden.
2:47 HELP So if I’m producing on Logic Pro x I can plug my headphones into the mic and listen to the mic and the computer at the same time in real time?
Loved this video. Does anyone know if we can connect the MV7+ to an iPhone? I read somewhere something about unlocking it the Motiv Mix app… I cannot find it
It's very close. MV7+ might be slightly improved, and you get more processing options in software or via the app, but it's probably not super noticeable by most people.
If I'm using this with IEM's connected to the mic to hear my voice while I talk, how can I adjust the balance of my voice vs. computer audio on Windows? Or can that only be done with a device like an Audient Evo 4?
Do you have an iPhone 15 or 15 Pro? Make sure you're in the studio on your phone and then connect the mic. When you see the pop up for headphones, tap "no"
Riverside will only be able to recognize a single mic via USB, and most audio recording apps (like Audacity) will only let you choose one USB input, unfortunately.
Are you on desktop or mobile? You may need to raise the gain via the Mix app or directly on the mic. If you recorded with Riverside, try normalizing the audio on export and it should raise the volume!
