    When doing subtractive EQ with logic stock remember to hold (shift, command or ctrl.. cant remember) so that the eq you are subtracting stays on the frequency you want to subtract.
    This helps you avoid changing the frequency cut when subtracted. Or just write -3db into the eq.
    I think you have to hold the button down before you start dragging.

    • @homestudioacademy
      @homestudioacademy  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you so much! 😊 I’m glad to help. It really depends on your setup. The SM7B takes a least 60db of gain to drive it. So look up the specs of your audio interface. If it doesn’t provide that much gain, then go with the SM7DB.

    Mine just came in last week and I been spending my time wisely trying to find a good editing set for my sm7b. I learned to just work with what I can and my editing set I have now works very well but kinda choppy and it kind of brings out the white noise only a little bit. I know it’s possible to have a very crisp and silent vocal setting

    • @homestudioacademy
      @homestudioacademy  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Getting a cloud-lifter may help minimizing the hiss. Another option is the Waves NS1 Noise Suppressor plugin.

To be honest, I don’t really update my operating system until I absolutely need to so I don’t have issues with my plugins compatibility.

      Better as in sound quality? If so, they would sound the same.

    this video is helpful, but, I'm still confused as to if I should still follow these guidelines if I'm printing with plugins like Avalon 737, the la-2a , and the 1176 while performing the vocal? just wondering if I should compress again as u demonstrate even tho I'm already using serial compression?

    • @homestudioacademy

      Only compress if you need more compression. If the signal printed already has enough compression, then I wouldn’t compress it again. 😊

      It does have less than most mics due to the more neutral high end but these are just principles for beginners. Trust me, I can sound sibilant on almost any mic 😂

    NO - DONT LOOK FOR ANYTHING. USE YOUR EARS!! Your video is directed towards beginners and is really misleading. Also nothing in this video in specific to the SM7B it´s just the most standard processing of vocals

    • @homestudioacademy
      @homestudioacademy  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Not misleading at all. Yes, a lot of concepts are made for my target audience (beginners) and from experience, I find very hard to tell someone just staring out to “just use your ears” when they don’t know what to look for. Anyway, I just shared my thoughts and how I mix this mic but feel free to disagree 😊
