    I have watched your 2-3 vidoes. I am an online content creator. At very first of my journey on TH-cam I used Maono Au-A04. Then I switched to Rode NT-USB. My audience always praise me for my voice. So I have decided to change the mic. At first I thought to buy Sennheiser Mkh 416. But that is too expensive. Then I saw some of your videos. and decided to buy Shure Sm7b. I just ordered it @350usd. Thanks for this video. And one thing I feel that you are good person ❤❤

    I wonder why this has so little likes or comments. This is the best recommendation I've found. Especially moving the mic to the side. I had Presence & Drive enabled, and talking - I sounded very boomy, even harsh. Now with the right positioning - which I rarely saw on other "setup" videos, I sound WAY more calm. Thanks!

    Thank you for your explanation. You are the first one that explained the front buttons and what they do. I am still considering my options for monitoring and hearing myself. I think for recording purposes, my headphones will do the trick. But if I just want to use my mic + Scarlett 2i2 for better computer to application voice live audio, then I would rather hear myself through monitors or through my computer speakers. That is the part I am not sure about. For computer to application voice live audio, I mean for gaming live or for zoom calls etc.

    The 4th gen 2i2 doesn't have enough gain for the SM7B unless you've got the mic up your nose. Put a Cloudlifter CL-1 in line with it and it actually becomes useful when positioned away from your face.

Can you also set up the Shure vertically because I have a tripod that is actually only for vertical microphones? It is a tripod for standing and not on the table. A answer would be very helpful!!!

      It will not hurt adding a cloudlifter to your setup, you'll just need to watch your gain levels from your interface since you're already adding 25db of gain from the cloudlifter.

    Hello, I use CM25 MkIII condenser microphone that comes with the Scarlett 2i2 3d gen and i have to set the gain knob to almost max or max. Until today it wasn't like that I would set the knob at a lot lower level(maybe 45%) with that same microphone to have the results I have now at max, I wonder if this is because i downloaded and updated the 2i2 driver. Does this sound normal? I tried also the older driver and same results. I don't have any other gear to try out so i can troubleshoot. Have you heard of such an issue before?

My preamp is set to 95% and I'm only just hitting the -18db to -12db range...barely, and only if i speak uncomfortablly loud. I'm using OBS (I'll be recording video and streaming). I have the gain in OBS set at 100% and it's all still far too quiet. When i put the file into DaVinci Resolve i have to add +10db for audio to even reach normal levels.

      @kettnercreative got the boom arm but as far as cables Because i understand that the interface comes with a USB so that must be the only cable needed to plug the interface to the pc... and the xlr is the only cable that isn't included that I'll need to purchase?

    Okay, so only real reason to turn on 48v on the interface is if you have a preamp right?

      Yes, pre-amp or condensor mic are the only two reasons to turn on phantom power (if you have rhe pre-amp in the sm7db then you need phantom power turned on as well)

    What app are you using to check gain levels? I have the solo 3rd gen and its hard to even apps that work well to set gain esp on a mac

    • @kettnercreative
      @kettnercreative  ปีที่แล้ว

      Focusrite Control, and Logic Pro- but you can also use OBS

    do both Scarlett 2i2 and Solo provide the same amount of gain?

    • @kettnercreative
      @kettnercreative  ปีที่แล้ว

      No they do not. The Scarlett 2i2 has way more.

    Hi, when I turn the gain up on the input beyond 12 o'clock it has a lot of white noise. This is even with the Shure SM7B + Cloudlifter unplugged. Any idea why, or is this normal for the 4th gen?

    • @kettnercreative
      @kettnercreative  ปีที่แล้ว

      Definitely not normal. Does it do that on both inputs?

    • @aarnyrules
      @aarnyrules ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep, both inputs. I've watched a few other videos on people demoing it and there's a similar noise, but not quite as intense.

    Hey would I need a cloudlifter if I have the solo 4th gen?

    • @chrisnavarrete9439
      @chrisnavarrete9439 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This depends on how far you want the mic to be from you the 4th gen has more gain than the older models so you might not need one

  • @yourpcmd

    Just so everyone knows, he's using the Scarlett 2i2 4th gen. If you have a 2nd or 3rd gen, they will also drive the SM7b with no need for a cloud lifter. The 1st gen needs the lifter.
