This series has some of the best produced tutorials I have ever seen in my life and I've seen a lot in many diverse fields. I cannot thank you enough good sir for the outstanding quality of your work. You are a true inspiration to professionals everywhere!
Great video! One thing, @10:24 it does require Phantom Power to function. Question, so for the SM7B, 59dB ratio against 87dB of the KSM44... the noise floor is then 28dB lower, so does that means that the SM7B is "less quiet" or "Noisier"? and with that, it is a less good microphone for vocals? so how come it´s history and that it is super valued? how can artists achieve good recordings with it?
Heh Marco, The SM7b can be used with...or without a mic booster ( the booster is the thing that requires phantom power, not the mic) If used without however, you have to have a mic preamp that can deliver 'at least' 60db of gain and actually about 70db in most vocal cases. And yes, the SM7b is definitely noisier than the KSM. A 'Mic Booster' will just make the output louder (including the noise floor) so pick one with good specs. th-cam.com/video/5pcuKnf5kLU/w-d-xo.html
@@Featherlightstudio Right, I forgot about that, because to me, SM7B defaults with an inline pre-amp. I connected the SM7B to my Apollo Twin X (65dB of Gain for Mics) and also to an ADA8200 I have as an ADAT port expansion for the Apollo directly and the signal is very usable, but I guess it´s better with the SE DM1, right? (with it, I only have the Apollo in 25% of pre-amp volume and it gets to Cubase at a very good level) I check your video and definitively will get that CODA next time. (I have SE DM1 Dynamite which I like more than the Cloud Lifter. I was aiming at the Fethead, to give it a try because I need to get one) Thanks for your response. 👍 👍 👍
Mogami makes great cables but, so do other companies as well. Assuming that all your cables ground connections are good, you will likely hear far more issues with poorly grounded gear and gain staging before you hear the difference in cables ( assuming there are no really long cable runs )
@@Featherlightstudio Thank you so very much (as always). Your guidance bears great weight with me, as I learn such a depth of new knowledge, from a seeming unending array of production related matters from you... Therefore, I am belaboring the planning for my small setup to a likely comedic extent. However, I feel confident in my goals and am excited about moving forward with "informed process". If I may ask, are there any brands which you feel can compete with Mogami's quality for the value?
@@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios The upper end of Monoprice, Hosa, ProCo, and Cable Matters all make great cables with options for quad shielding and true Neuman or SwitchCraft ends. Matching the cable for the application is key. Long instrument cable runs need better shielding. Heavy conductors 16/14 awg for speakers, ect.
@@Featherlightstudio This is AWESOME, Thank you! I bet a TON of noobs (just like me) would benefit from a dedicated video series on cables, connectors, and brands. You're the best!
The quickest way to increase basic gain is to click on the small rectangle on the top/center of the audio clip and drag upwards. This is basically just normalizing the clip so, it won't clean it up if its a noisy recoding but its a quick way to match other levels in the timeline.

@@karadytube There are several depending on your mixing needs. 1. Open channel edit ( the little E on the track) and under the Pre Tab, raise the gain slider. 2. Insert a compressor on the first slot of the channel insert FX and use the Makeup gain to increase level. 3. Select track, Navigate to AUDIO up in menu bar, scroll down to 'Processes' and select Gain effect. Just a heads up, All of these choices have 'downstream' ramifications of course.

Thanks Dennis, I really appreciate that.
Loving the part with the noisy windows. :)))
great and useful info -thanks
.
Good explanation 👍👍👍
Thanks
Thanks for another masterclass! !!!!!

What are your thoughts on cables? Any thoughts on whether Mogami is the only way to go? If not, any suggestions?
Mogami makes great cables but, so do other companies as well. Assuming that all your cables ground connections are good, you will likely hear far more issues with poorly grounded gear and gain staging before you hear the difference in cables ( assuming there are no really long cable runs )

How to fix a low recorded signal to a good level in Cubase? Thank you.
