Best GOXLR Settings for the Shure SM7B | 2022 Edition

[@JollyLegend]

Since many people have asked me for GOXLR mini settings I will have to clarify, I don't have a GOXLR mini, so I am unable to give out settings or make a video for it unfortunately.

[@joemama-gl7zl]

Are you still using these settings though? If not we need a 2023 edition please

[@jimmistreet_007]

@@joemama-gl7zl no 2024 now

[@ddixxonn]

As someone who has a deeper voice, thank you so much for posting this, I have been trying to find an EQ that brings out the depth and warmth in my voice and this definitely did that. Thank you so very much!

[@Landiee]

what settings do you have?

[@FutureBusinessTech]

This is one of my favorite videos on KZbin. After replicating these settings using my GoXLR Mini, my audio sounds more than twice as good as it did yesterday. Now, it feels like my brand new Shure SM7B can truly shine.

[@GeorgeCZ]

Same here, I just used it and the difference is really cool. I like my voice again!!!

[@TheUnrealChaoz]

how is ur EQ? becuase in GoXLR mini its a different EQ ... only 6 bands

[@GeorgeCZ]

@@TheUnrealChaoz well yeah you have only 6 bars so you have to skip some from the video. So enable fine Tune and from the left: 32Hz -9, 125Hz 4, 500Hz -2, 1.0KHz 0, 4.0KHz 3, 16.0KHz 9. I have it like this and with compressor like in the video it sounds very good.

[@TheUnrealChaoz]

@@GeorgeCZ thanks bro for the fast request... i will test it ♥ much love

[@FutureBusinessTech]

​@@TheUnrealChaoz To match Jolly Legend's settings, I changed Bass to 1, Mid to -1, and Treble to 6. I also matched the gate and compressor settings since they are critically important. From there, I slightly lowered the two treble bands because of my own personal tastes (4.5kHz to 2 and 16.0kHz to 4).

[@OdinCasts]

Straight up game changer for my mic, the difference is night and day, hard to even describe it. Thanks!

[@Daobeezy]

Thank you so much for these settings. Just tried this out and my friends love it

[@Spudwithagun]

I just used these same settings for my at2020. The difference is actually mind blowing 🤯. Thank you so much!!!

[@MikeDawson1945]

I rebooted my PC and of course had to re-set up and adjust my GoXLR. I have taken your video as a template for the settings and am thrilled what I got out for a sound quality in contrast to what I had before for an audio sound. I thank you very much and wish you much success for your future.

[@Kaelath_The_Red]

Not gonna lied tried your EQ settings and my voice is night and day different from what I've been using for audio I love it.

[@SiN-pt3kn]

Sounds Great, have you also changed your EQ for the RE20? If so can you post your new settings. thanks

[@fheedo]

Great video. Thank you for you effort. so does those setting applies to gxlr minni ?

[@Jenci12_]

Great video, it helped tremendously. One question: Have you modified any of the settings on the back of the Shure SM7B mic itself prior to applying these settings within the GOXLR or is it set to default?

[@JollyLegend]

Sorry for the late reply, no I use this microphone with both switches set completely flat

[@Zenacity]

Been trying to figure out why I couldn't get my mic sounding good and was getting frustrated! Thanks for making this tutorial!

[@Redvines.]

beast thank you for this

[@604CS]

Appreciate the video and have been running these settings for a year. Recently ive been gaming with friends and they are able to hear my ingame audio through my IEMs. Is there anything specific you refommend me changing so it doesnt pick up on these audio sounds and only off of my voice. Thanks in advance!

[@TheCreatorGreen]

Great stuff man! It definitely helped me see what others do with their stuff. Unfortunately, I've got a very unique voice that's hard to get the settings right for. Being a mix between deep and gravely due to vocal damage. I've still got lots of fine tuning to do, but this will help. Btw, both the Twitch and Discord links are broken.

[@TheApexWay]

I knew to made you voice deeper with the Goxlr! EXPOSED!

[@arumosvasiaki9212]

Man i love you thankyou, now i can sound as dark void as you are

[@RambinoYT]

This is a question before i watch the video (lazy, srry!) Does these settings apply or work for the Mini aswell or is it just the big GOXLR? (If same im watching the full vid xD)

[@ObynXO]

Hey there @JollyLegend 👋🏼 I just recently made the switch to my MKH416. Loving the mic so far. What are your compression and noise gate settings for the MKH416? I did notice a slight change in your compression level compared to the SM7B in this video (from 85 to 65). Thanks man! Appreciate you. Great video!

[@JollyLegend]

I show the settings I used on the mkh 416 here in this video :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnPCqGpufZymlcU

[@RhabarberPalaver]

Incredible voice btw

[@knechterhd745]

Your settings have fix my shit mic quali with the goxlr. Thanks man

[@SRPNTINE]

I get a ton of hiss when using that 16khz soundband. However, I'm not using a goxlr I'm using an elgato wavexlr. Are you using a cloudlifter? It seems to be directly related to boosting my 16k (16k boosts can cause hiss), however there is no hissing when you do it. Confused as hell. Also my compressor has way too many settings for me to figure out really how to tune it, such as input and output level, and a ton of other stuff. Could you help me at all Jolly? Debating just buying a GOXLR for myself, this waveXLR has been nothing but problems ever since I got it

[@danidihaze101]

his is also bad with go xlr ...these setting are no good

[@dadschaos2168]

Thankyou for help with these settings

[@Feragamotv]

hello, what filters and settings you use obs for voice ? thanks

[@KingFB]

Can you do a video for EV RE320? Or is it similar to your RE20 video? Thankyou and Godbless!

[@JollyLegend]

The only thing is I've never used a re320 otherwise I totally would've made a video. But I would like to try one out, ugh if only I had infinite funds XD

[@thuringerkloe6039]

bro this video is awesome thank you

[@SpaceDuckGG]

First off great video! Extremely helpful information! I did have a question: I took a look at you stream and it you sound quite a bit louder there to me. Is it just KZbin audio normalization making it quieter or Do you do any final filters in OBS for your stream? Like a extra gain and a limiter on the broadcast mix or something?

[@JollyLegend]

I just use different compression settings cause I like to max out the volume, these settings are better suited to most people, but if you wanna use my settings then set the threshold to -16db and the makeup gain to -12db, will make you sound really loud.

[@SpaceDuckGG]

@@JollyLegend Gotcha that makes sense, thank you!

[@RambinoYT]

Do you have a mini version aswell as the settings are different?

[@mikikujira]

Can the same settings be applied with a cloud lifter?

[@hunterunknwn]

thanks for the help man!

[@jldek1561]

Hi i have a problem pls when i try to choose between dynamic / condenser and 3.5mm my mic doesn't move anywhere ?? WHY PLSSSS

[@Kolanaaa]

Hello! 1. Do I need to use dbx286s box with this equipment at the same time or GOXLR can replaise mic processor? 2. Do I need external sound card to use with GOXLR (I use SSL2 currently)?

[@JollyLegend]

The GOXLR is an all in one audio interface with built in DSP processing, so you do not need a dbx286s or another audio interface or soundcard.

[@Kolanaaa]

[@sercansararer2442]

Hey great video. i have a question, you set the microphone to dynamic but it only works for me on condenser. why is it ? doesn't it have to be set to dynamic?

[@JollyLegend]

If you use a cloudlifter or similar then it needs to be condenser since that device uses the phantom power to boost the signal, without a cloudlifter set it to dynamic since the mic is a dynamic one XD

[@jonathanrivera-jw6qh]

These settings are great however my keyboard gets picked up pretty easy with the gate settings. Any tips on how to reduce it?

raise your gate

i do not understand why mine has only 6 settings on compression tab and no deeser? maybe because im using mini insteadof theregular xlr?

any advice on how to fix the static/buzzing sound without a cloud lifter? replaced XLR cables, separated the XLR cable from others, tried using different USB ports on my PC, did a ton of sound testing in theGOXLR app (tweaked attenuation/gain/threshold and all that-buzz/static still persists when my sm7b picks up audio) dusted/cleaned XLR cable input and basically nothing worked. i would say that @ times, the microphone would have no issues with buzzing/static and sound perfectly fine. then out of nowhere it returns. thank you in advance!

[@RomaNcss]

I had kinda the same issues. I bought ground loop noise isolator from Amazon. Was 14 bucks and with that the buzzing disappeared. You don’t need cloudlifter if you only record KZbin videos or streaming on twitch.
