This tutorial is really part 2 of my Shure MV88+ Video Kit microphone review. I had filmed a walkthrough of the ShurePlus MOTIV apps (iOS/Android), but it made the review video too long. So I polished it up and made it a separate tutorial. These apps allow you to witness the power of this fully-armed and operational condenser microphone!
If you’re a beginner who is considering this mic as your first, this video will give you some insight into how it works, and what the onboard tools can do for you. For the pros, it’ll reveal how much can be done on the fly without external gear/software. The apps allow you to set up and adjust the settings of the microphone when recording audio OR video. And in the case of audio, you can do a surprising amount of editing as well. This is the state-of-the-art in content creation tools.

I actually learned a lot! Thanks for make it simple to understand. I’m actually thinking on buying the mv88+ or the mv7. For musician and singer purposes which will you recommend ? 😮🙏🏼 thanks in advance

@SamVarma 2 года назад

Hola! Gracias por haber echado un vistazo ;) The MV7 is more of an “in the studio” mic. MV88+ is more useful (to me), since it sounds great in more situations? I used it on voice as well as acoustic guitar and was happy with the results; it lets you get stereo as well as mono recordings; it’s more mobile. It’s worth remembering that the MV88+ is a very good condenser mic, so it does pick up every detail. If all I wanted was a great mic to leave in one place, to record podcasts, voiceovers, streaming, or maybe the occasional instrument, MV7 might be better? I have read that it’s based on the SM7, which is famous for being an all purpose studio mic… Hope that helps!

@NancyRuthMusic 3 года назад

Thanks for this video! So I bought this mic, and am using it with an iphone 12 mini, and I get more white noise in the background than I thought - have tried several settings. Any tips on getting rid of this low grade hiss?

@p4tmaster 3 года назад

Maybe because of your compressor settings? Compressors work like this: they have a db threshold level and everything above will be decreased in volume. And then the WHOLE signal will be increased, including your noise-signal. Make sure to have a decent signal(level)-to-noise(level) distance by having the source as loud as possible without clipping!

@NancyRuthMusic 3 года назад

@@p4tmaster I'm still so disappointed in this mic for the amount of white noise it has, regardless of the settings. I was hoping it'd save me time, as I usually record the audio for my videos separately. If you're used to having a clean signal, this mic will disappoint. I spoke to Shure and they admitted there will we be hiss if used in a quiet setting, stating that the mic was designed more for concerts. I am returning it.

Great video Sam. What do you mean when you say the app doesn't support the three cameras on an iPhone 11 pro? I'm an actor recording a lot of self tapes at home and find the colour and exposure all over the place. Is it possible to use the mic with apples recording setting? Thanks :)

@SamVarma 3 года назад

Hey Natalie!! Thanks for watching. The MOTIV Video app doesn’t let you choose which of the iPhone’s 3 cameras you want to use, that’s all. And yes, the MV88 will automatically be the audio source if you use the iPhone’s native camera app. For more control over exposure, frame rate, resolution etc. I would highly recommend the FiLMic Pro app. And don’t forget you can use the iPhone’s Photos app to add filters, color grade etc the videos you shoot. Hope that helps. Feels free to ask away if you need to know more :)

Hi dude thanks for this cool review. What settings do you recomend to record only drums at the rehearsal room with a Huawei p30 lite? cheers from Chile.

@SamVarma 3 года назад

¡Que onda hijo! Thanks for watching. Honestly, first I’d say definitely turn on the limiter. After that, compression as much as you like (you should run a couple of tests to see what it does). I’d say set your sample rate to 24bit/48khz-it’s industry standard and will give you flexibility afterwards. I would probably use the widest stereo polar pattern, at least as a starting point. In the end it’s a creative tool, and you will have to get to know it, experiment, and use your own taste to see what results you like, depending on the situation. Hope that helps! Un abrazo 😎

Can I use the audio app and record on my phone and the audio from Mic will be recorded in my video ?what’s the diff between audio app and video app.

@SamVarma 3 года назад

Hi! So when you plug the mic into your phone you can do one of the following: - use the MOTIV app to record/edit the audio; - use the MOTIV Video app to record video that has the audio from the mic. The advantage here is that this app also allows you to adjust the mic, but you can’t edit with it. - use the normal iPhone camera. The phone automatically detects the microphone and will use that audio in the video. The MOTIV audio app is for adjusting the mic settings, and recording/editing audio only. The MOTIV video app is just convenient to be able to adjust the mic and shoot video in one app. It’s important to remember that the mic will stay the way it was last set up even if it is unplugged. I typically use the audio app to set it up how I want it, and then shoot video using an app called FiLMiC Pro. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!

@SamVarma 3 года назад

Agreed. The only real use case is a situation where you are shooting video but may want to change EQ/Limiter pickup pattern very quickly between takes. I don’t know what that situation is, and real world I don’t see myself using that app to shoot video. Thanks for watching!

@SamVarma 3 года назад

Hi! That’s outside the scope of what the apps are for. They’re really just to set up the mic, and make it easy to get basic audio/video recordings. Any more serious work you want to do will require other apps. I use FiLMic Pro for filming, Cubasis for music audio processing, and LumaFusion for video editing. Hope that helps!

Thanks for watching!! When you use the MOTIV app to set EQ, etc., those settings live in the mic itself, and will stay that way even if you unplug it.

I bought a new iPad Air a couple of months ago that also has the USB-C connector, and the microphone will pass audio to the iPad, but the only thing you can do with the app is adjust the gain of the microphone. I don’t really know why, but Shure told me it’s because of the way that Apple implemented USB-C. It’s not a great situation.
