[@AssembleShow]

I just got the Shuresm7b this channel is underrated love it. As a creator this is such great detail flow and gives all the details you actually want. Also high quality. Keep it up definitely subbed

[@kettnercreative]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@savebyj]

I just bought a SM7B and this was the best video on explaining what to do and buy. Great job!

[@itsjawdan]

Just started picking up some pieces of hardware and setting up my own stream setup and find myself coming back to your channel over and over. Keep it up!

[@FiveFistNinja]

This video is underrated... I appreciate the effort that went into this video

[@kettnercreative]

Glad you liked it.

[@coach.b]

Absolutely agree with you!

[@buyingandsellingland]

It's like you can read my mind and know all my questions! This video and other videos on your channel answered them all. Thank you!

[@talon2012]

Very well done how to setup for this particular mic! You literally answered and explained any questions or concerns I might have had when considering this mic for my set up. Also I totally agree with the cosmetic perspective when it comes to the choice of wind screens and I would prefer the thinner wind screen since I do plan to use a camera for streaming. Thanks for the great how to guide and I def gave a like and sub!

[@itsmepaulofficial]

I love this video guide, absolutely helped me as well in choosing an Audio interface that suits my needs. Also, can you make a video about Shure Super 55 and how to get the best performance of the product?

[@kettnercreative]

That would be a fun video. I've had my Super 55 on the shelf for many years. I need to dust that thing off again.

[@itsmepaulofficial]

@@kettnercreative Wow! I can't wait to watch the video about it 😁

[@drilltalent9268]

Allah Bless you Always. A brilliant video. Just watched many times in order to set my SM7B. All the best bro🌹

[@debdrever4614]

Indeed, a very good presentation of the Shure mv7 xlr setup. my friend and I are going to set up a KZbin channel and pod casting in relation to a wide range of topics. We are going to name them (More Tackle Boxes and Less ex Boxes). Have a great day and all the best to you in the further.

[@pr_martinzelayajr7404]

great video, what is the EQ software that you are using?

[@aqubouri]

Very informative, thanks buddy!

[@akeilahmed]

Love this! Very insightful.

[@coach.b]

Hello Jordan ... Shure should be paying YOU! First of all let me say "Thanks" to you for this and indeed all your other videos I've come across over in 2022. The quality of your content and your presentation are seriously in the top tier of all videos I've watched related to audio related items, Shure as a brand for sure (pun intended) and general knowledge of how these things come together. I only just subscribed today Jan 1 2023 because I realized I wasn't subscribed but each time I needed to do some research regarding the Shure SM7B (which I own) your videos kept coming up in the results like clockwork. I feel as if I've cheated by not coming across your channel before now and supporting you by purchasing through your links where applicable but rest assured of something. I will be searching through your videos to see if there's anything I need for my recording purposes that I can buy through your links ... because you more than deserve to be compensated for your generosity with your knowledge and the professionalism and clarity with which you deliver the goods. I encourage everyone who finds these videos to subscribe and tell as many other people as possible about Jordan's channel 👏🏽 🤫P.S. I've been using 48V phantom power the wrong way all this time. Even when I recently got the Vocaster One I still was using it incorrectly until today and watching your explanation - Even Shure doesn't come anywhere close to explaining their own products!

[@johnny_abi9633]

Bro I’m so thankful fore this video I nearly bought a cloud thing 😂😂

[@hhbadarin]

Very helpful video, TY!

[@nachogil1725]

Great videos, and very helpful for beginners like me! 😀

[@AndreasJ-ol8no]

What software do you use to record the sound please? =)

[@CavalierePrinciPessaAmore]

I do have a question. I definitely need a great performing microphone. I purchased the SM7B recently. It's for voice dubbing. It was recommended to me. May I ask which is the BEST interface for voiceovers? Focusrite Vocaster One OR Focusrite Scarlett SOLO USB audio interface? Also, is the cloud lifter needed at all?

[@KingJohnG]

Great video! I noticed some white sound in the background fizzing slightly while you made this. And is that something to fix? or is that with all SM7B?

[@bjscorpio4041]

You certainly found a way to make the PSA1+ look good.

[@kettnercreative]

I like it better this way, for sure.

[@marsirgaming]

​@kettnercreative are they custom made or can you buy them somewhere?

[@MarcosToscanoo]

Can you review please the new Blue Sona? I've seen that is literally better than the SM7B because it doesn't need a CloudLifter to sound as good as it should. Great video

[@kettnercreative]

I have 10 videos about it coming this week. Maybe more!

[@Sebastian-yq8ez]

Help! I bought a speaker Soundcore Rave+ (160W) that can be used as a karaoke machine with its mic input 6.3 mm. Not reading too much before, I bought Shure sm58 and XLR to 6.3mm jack extension, but the microphone doesn't work (can't hear anything). Now, from what I read, I need a preamp, but I completely don't know which one. Is preamp even enough to make it work or do I need something else as well? Again, I just want to plug it to the speaker and sing karaoke at home 😩

[@Frettz]

should i swap my audient id14 for a vocaster 1 or get a cloudlifter to boost my audient?

[@GianmaA90]

Hi, I have a shure sm7b microphone, in your opinion to record audiobooks which is the best audio interface? Thanks for the comprehensive and professional videos you make.

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

I would recommend the minifuse 1 it's my favorite interface and could run the sm7b by itself without a cloudlifter

[@PokePilot]

great video!

[@frankcoffey]

I tried all the settings and the flat seems to be best for my use. I have EQ on the system if I need it.

[@bleachluvsdaphne]

what program/software is he using at 11:35 ?

[@marvinmattig]

Vocaster Hub

[@iiarsenikvz5109]

some recomandation for the elgato Wave XLR ?

[@Steven-ml6cd]

This shure is great!👀

[@PierceJPeterson]

Hey, great video! Quick question: Do you recommend getting the SM7dB? Or is it not necessary since you can get enough gain with an audio interface like the focusrite vocaster one?

[@kettnercreative]

I think the SM7dB is a complete waste of money. It's too little, too late. The internal preamp is noisy and horrible. Meanwhile all of the next gen preamps (Rodecaster Pro 2/Duo, Scarlett 2i2, etc. have more than enough gain for the SM7B. I'd spend my money on a new interface, or a cloudlifter that you can use with other microphones.

[@PierceJPeterson]

@@kettnercreative Sounds good. Thank you for the reply! So, if you had to pick one next gen preamp to recommend, which would it be? I basically want the least expensive option that will still be able to provide more than enough gain for the SM7B. I do not want to use a cloudlifter if I don't have to.

[@SkTadas]

@@kettnercreative would you go with elgato xlr or scarlett 2i2 4th gen nowadays?

[@ChroniclesofGhoul]

still can't decide on this and my re20. Should I return the RE20, and go with the SM7B, that's the question. I'm wondering how durable the RE20 is with the foam disintegrating and rattling plug issues it's known for, any advice for KZbin narration with a relatively deep voice?

[@rocksteady7870]

I sing, I have the shure mic, the floor stand, shure 215 ear plugs, shure digital audio interface, my computer, Can you tell me what else just want to make sure? Thank you.

[@dedotlyric]

Thank's, good explanation

[@kingdomriseband]

Hi… I’ve just bought an SM7B and here looking at setup videos as I’m getting no signal at all. My chain is mic>cloudlifter>interface>GarageBand and I have nothing. Correct in and outs selected. I’ve swapped mics over and other mics work fine… wondering if I’m missing something? Any help appreciated!

[@LuxnoireCollection]

Just to reiterate, if I purchase the Elgato Wave XLR, I do NOT need the Cloudlifter??

[@RehlapzZ]

Fantastic Vid! Any Chance you could run a Setup with the Elgato Wave XLR? Im having issues with my microphone picking up my mechanical keyboard and my mouse clicks. Super new to the XLR mic family so I am a noob in this field!

[@vallmak]

what microphone are you using in the rest of the video? it sounds better than the SM7b.

[@MyStutteringLife]

Question: where did you get that neoprene wrap for the Rode boom arm? I would like to get one with my podcast name on it. Thanks and GREAT VIDEO! I have the Shure SM7B with my Rodecaster Pro

[@kettnercreative]

The Rode PSA1+ comes with the neoprene wrap. I used 3" Gaff tape to cover the entire length of their neoprene wrap, then put a vinyl decal over that.

[@MyStutteringLife]

@@kettnercreative Thank you!!!!

[@RealTrueBeast]

How can I hear my audio playback into my headphones (not the windows Sound Settings way)??????

[@BurakCankaya]

My friend you are the best. For a while i was using Rode Xdm-100 i was happy with it. But now i am more obssed about clean and thud voice. For video recording and live broadcasting do you think i need Shure SM7B or not ? I got them already with Focusrite 3rd gen. solo and cloud i do not see big difference. Do you really think it's worth to pay 400€ for changes? Or what do you suggest to me ?

[@jakel4815]

You have a fitting on the end of the PSA1+ that isn't standard, what are you using there? The standard one has huge knobs that get in the way of the XLR connect on the SM7B.

[@kettnercreative]

This is stock, out of the box. The knobs are on the backside. Still works well though!

[@Filip-mv2hx]

I had Rode NT-1 with Scarlett Solo 3rd gen but upgraded it with Shure SM7B it came as a bundle with Cloudlifter CL-1 now I saw your video and wondering is it worth to sell mine Scarlett Solo 3rd gen and Cloudlifter and buy Focusrite Vocaster One Audio Interface instead?

[@kettnercreative]

The presets in the Vocaster are nice, compared to the Scarlett 2i2. If you're not planning on doing any music production, the Vocaster has a lot of nice features for podcast/streaming/meetings.

[@Filip-mv2hx]

@@kettnercreative Many thanks for quick reply. Yes it's for streaming/podcast etc : ) so I'll probobaly switch to Vocaster.

[@Trickydickie86]

Nice video my friend, I was wondering about the buttons on the back. You say to leave them?? Liked and subbed 👍🤟🔥

[@merjaymermanph]

I love that hairstyle better 😅❤

[@ey5373]

appreciate the video and gave a like. Question. I just ordered the Goxlr. Instead of the Rode Procaster II Audio Mixer, will the GoXLR work? and if it does work, is it any decent or comparable to the Rode Procaster II Audio Mixer?

[@dennischuppe1614]

Hi, as I am new to this, what interface do you recommend for doing music videos?

[@DarrenMaloney-w7s]

so if i have the hmic cord and am ordering the focusrite vocaster which cable is needed to go from the vocaster to my computer?

[@herveybenavides6858]

Can you make a video on how you can use a go xlr with a separate amp/dac? I’m using the goxlr mini to mix and I’m wanting to set up and external amp/dac (magni/modi stack)to power my Dt 990 pros. I’m new to all this and I can’t find a video that clearly explains what to do, thanks!

[@Danish23377]

I’m using clubhouse app and I do live voice shows debates everything on clubhouse, but I don’t have a private place in my home so when I lead my live shows on my iPhone using V8 sound card everyone get annoyed… what can I do can you suggest some cheap and best mixer and sound cards for me & tips to get louder volume when I talk in low sound

[@onimusic29]

Question what mic were you using before you started using the SM7B? the difference in quality is huge.

[@kettnercreative]

It was a clip on lav mic

[@traderae]

Hi, how to minimize background noise using elgato wave XLR and Shure SM7B?

[@kettnercreative]

Better mic placement

[@Drew-wb2jo]

I got the zoom h6, will I still need to get the cloudlifter for podcasting?

[@kettnercreative]

I believe so

[@Hi_27]

Question about Audacity: I want to record my voice from my mixer and also sound from my computer at the same time in a track. it seems I can only record computer audio or my mic, but not both at the same time?

[@coach.b]

You can. You need to go into your setting and set the recording parameters.

[@lenny6225]

Hello Jordan, i want to go as cheap as possible and also want best Quality for the Shure SM7b. What should i pick i dont want a cloudlifter and these are my pics: the vocastor, goxlr mini, elgato wave xlr or the rode ai 1? Thank you for your quality content

[@artisanart9154045407]

does it need a phantom power?

[@kettnercreative]

No it does not

[@coach.b]

It would help if you actually watched the video because the answer is what the whole things is about ... at least make an effort 😲
