thank you!

Nice! Yes; I find that as long as you don't got over ~85% on gain, you will avoid the high gain noise. I admit that this can be a challenge with an original SM-7B; get the SM-7Bb instead.

I believe that I recorded this with the original Logitech Brio. 😁

this is designed for desktop/laptop use, not phone

Hello! I am running the AG Controller app on a Mac M2 Pro using macOS Ventura (w/latest update) and I have never had an issue with the Yamaha app. It works as intended. I know that macOS Sonoma has had some audio driver challenges with other gear (Allen & Heath, some Dante gear), so I would stick with Ventura if you can.

@@webcastdude I mean more the architecture issue. Yamaha haven't updated this in nearly 3 years now and it's still on the Intel architecture. One day, Apple will kill Rosetta support and all these apps will stop working unless they are updated to run natively on Apple Silicon. I can't buy this until I'm 100% certain they're going to do this, although most companies made the jump 4 years ago!

That was the Brio. An external mic is recommended :-)

Yes; both with noise cancellation on, which is the intended use case. With NC off; the speech intelligibility is significantly decreased, especially in public areas.

I am sorry - you would need to reach out to Yamaha support for the latest driver info.

Hello! The Yamaha mixer/audio interface will certainly work with the BM800, however the BM800 is a very poor quality mic. Mic selection depends on the intended use and budget. What will you be using the mic for? Zoom? Gaming? Singing? Voiceover recording?

@@webcastdude Thank you for replying. I want to use it for singing on tiktok.

@@rescuerocks for singing you need a mic with a high SPL. The Shure SM58 is the standard and there are plenty around used for low cost. If you have the $, I highly recommend the new Shure mic designed specially for singers: www.shure.com/en-US/products/microphones/nexadyne8c?variant=NXN8%2FC

@@webcastdude Thanks so much for all the info. Truly appreciated this. Getting the mic next month just spend enough on this mixer lol. But it is worth it since it is something me and my son who lives across the pond love to do and it is the only times I can spend time with him. Again thanks bunches :)

The sound output quality is compatible to the Focusrite Scarlett series of audio interfaces, but the Yamaha has more output options that are easily accessible to your hands. I quite like the separate volume knobs for speakers and headphones; this allows me to keep my in-ear monitors plugged in and ready for Zoom calls 👍

Thanks! While you can integrate a cell phone with this mixer, it does not really support a sub-mix that allows you to moderate phone callers and then push them individually into the live feed.

I am not certain; the manufacturer never replied to my inquiry - sry!

seems his one is faulty

The Bluetooth on the Evolve is designed so you can have your smartphone paired with the headphones while using the wired connection as primary for zoom/teams etc. The headphone has no battery which keeps them light but also explains why you have to have them connected via wire for Bluetooth to function. You shouldn’t use Bluetooth as the primary connection for conference calls as that’s not what it’s designed for and may have led to your sync issues if that was what you were doing? Saying that I’ve used both and prefer the Engage as I like controls on the dongle vs on the headphone itself and also the lighter weight notices after 8 hours. Enjoyed the video thanks.

@@bitsandblocks7826thanks for the reply! ust for clarity; used the USB connection and not the Bluetooth connection, yet experienced the reported video/sync issues with the Evolve.

I highly recommend the Rouge Amoeba app Loopback. This will allow you to control audio routing on your Mac as a live mixer.

@@webcastdude Thanks! Wow, that looks like it would hurt my brain. Any added latency?

@@getstew No - no discernible latency

I have tested it with my iPhone, but unfortunately I do not have access to an Android phone - sry!

Thank you! Yes; you need a CloudLifter or similar device with an SM-7B. The SM-7B needs a interface/mixer with over 80 dB of gain, and that is extremely rare in USB interfaces, even the most expensive ones. If you find one with 85 dB of mic gain or more, please let me know!

Sry to hear that! I never have this issue and use the mixer daily for work Zoom calls. Faulty unit?

Thank you!

I am connected to a M2 Pro laptop. Perhaps this device is easier to manage on Windows, but Razer is overlooking a huge market of macOS users 😞

Glad I could help! I recommend the Deity VO-7U with a foam windsceen if it fits your budget; it is the best USB voice mic that I have tested yet. Whatever mic you get, make sure to keep the mic ~3 inches from your mouth, speaking through the mic pattern (not directly into the mic). A mic arm and risers help make this position comfortable.

It seems like you have a dynamic mic with low output. I use a SM-7B mic with a CloudLifter to give me sufficent gain - you might consider a CloudLifter or similar gain device.

@@webcastdude yes.. i just learned about it.. tnx for the suggestion and for the fast reply.

Thanks 👍

Thanks so much for the feedback! Look for more reviews in the near future 🙂

Thank you so much!

I do not detect any hiss on the MKII with my Sony MDR-7506 broadcast headphones. The noise floor is present, but I have heard worse from Focusrite devices. You have to balance workflow with device quality and price. I have higher quality interfaces, but they do not offer all the options of this mixer and thus make my daily work more difficult.

I appreciate that!

Yes; the mixer will work in this manner.

Thanks!

Thank you!
