This is perfect. They should just include the YouTube URL in the instruction manual.

First you grant us your insight into why this mic is worth buying, plus the tip of using a mic activator with it for interfaces that don't have as much gain. So I bought it, and put it to use.

Now, with this video, you ensure that those of us who have followed your advice know exactly how to avoid the rookie mistakes one can make with the SM7b. Bandrew, I can't thank you enough!

This is an incredible video. Lots of important fundamental stuff here that can be applied to lots of different mics. A great little Christmas gift!

I've had my SM7B for 5 years, and I legit just learned something. Thank you

I was experiencing clipping in my recent videos with my SM7B - cloudlifter - zoom h5n and came to youtube to figure out why. Used the visual audio meters on the Zoom to get my normal baseline voice to -18dB and voila! you're a genius, this was so helpful THANK YOU.

This is a highly educational video, very well done, Bandrew! And it's still entertaining at the same time, .which makes your videos and podcast even more outstanding 👏

The absolute best tutorial I have ever watched on this website. Thank you a ton for making this

I'm really grateful that you answered every single question I could imagine with this video. Most videos leave a few details out that then keep bugging me forever (for example your comments on the pros and cons of the bigger filter). Masterful!

Yet another extremely helpful piece. You manage the trick of explaining without either patronising or assuming people know more than they do. Nga mihi nui

This is one of the best explanations of mics in general, that's I've heard in a long time. Good on you mate.

darthollpheist

very helpful! Especially when this mic is known to have a very low gain, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who's turning up the gain so much on my Focusrite Scarlett. Thanks!
