Co-sign nearly every single decision on this kit. Only thing I would suggest is trading in the sm7b for the mv7. At nearly 1/3 of the cost when taking into account the cloud lifters and able to work with one single chord if doing anything digitally (which by the way, riverside is absolutely the truth), it can still do XLR in put for in person recording. I’ve sold 4 sm7b’s from our team and swapped them all out to mv7’s! Great lineup, Omar!

[@glassmw9823]

true, especially for people starting out with limited financial resources

[@NicoSantanaMusic]

I love using Riverside for my Video Podcast . Makes it so much easier to interview people from around the world. Good lookin out!

[@powerofcare_]

Hey Nico, im thinking about using Riverside also but trying to figure out what equipment is necessary since its online. What re your thoughts?

[@pandisalsqueeze27]

Great vid - thank you so much. I am shooting with my long-deprecated Samsung NX1 and an HDMI capture card. The Samung NX glass is pure gold. But onto something more relevant: What you "forgot" to mention is .... the colour of the table. The white tabletop beautifully bounces the light and fills in any shadows caused by light from the top, creating a much softer look. So to anyone out there wanting a fresh, happy studio look, consider a white tabletop.

[@purehuman9056]

Sm7b was an industry standard in broadcast for decades and made famous by its use on the Thriller album. Engineer Bruce swedien says it worked perfectly for Michael Jackson’s hee,s and whoos which was over 40 years ago. Proceed.

[@thedrewwitt]

1: What’s the thin vertical light tube you have to the right in the background? 2: are you using a mist filter on your camera to get the blooms in the highlights? It looks 💯

[@DhruvCanada]

Definitely a *highly needed video.!*

[@AleSalvino]

Gold content guys! Loved the “fake” window effect and all your tips 💪🏻

[@ThinkMediaTV]

👊

[@chiclysoignebonviveur]

Yes, please do the video on the customization of the plate on the mic. The branding is subtle, clean, and luxe.

[@thedrewwitt]

Love the custom label for the shure. Do a video on it!

[@theunfiltereduniversitypod7009]

Good tips here. Didn’t think about adding carpet to help with the sound. Also gotta find a round table like the one in the vid

[@everythingkebykeonatodd6808]

Thank you for these amazing tips! I’m looking forward to launching a podcast this year. This video was so helpful.

Hi again Think Media! What is your take on 4K camcorders for live streaming vs mirrorless cameras? Thanks again!

[@laurendennis7018]

Omar! Can you make a video on how to set up everything for a video podcast? I am such a beginner, I am not sure of what to hook where. Looking to start a video podcast solo then introduce guests in the future.

[@NiaK24]

This is definitely an inspiring video. You really got creative with the set up, the fake wall is everything 🙌🏿🙌🏿

[@sandramlewin1091]

Thanks for great video. My iPhone and camera turn off after 20min of filming. Any tips on making sure it stays on for the whole time?

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

Around Thanksgiving my mom removed the carpet from the entirety of upstairs which was a problem as I had only the blue yeti mic at the time which would have been a nightmare for not only my podcast but also my videos even though I make gaming videos luckily I convinced her to buy me a small carpet to put in my room so I can record. That also pushed me to get an audio interface and dynamic mics from now on

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Yeah thats a great idea! Sounds like you really upped your set up!

[@SubhashJhaVlogs]

I am making youTube videos just with my iPhone, nothing else. You just need to believe on yourself that you can create good content. Best of luck 🤞

[@sunny.purcell]

Yes, but what camera do you use for the virtual podcasts??? a webcam?

[@carlosascencio5749]

Great Tips and recommendations 🙌🏼👍🏻

[@elahnzee]

What's your thoughts on using the Sony ZV-E10 cameras in a video podcast setup?

[@PinkSubmarine]

Great work as always!

[@DarinBuss]

Nice setup, I use the mv51 for my mic , I also use streamyard for my interviews I tried riverside out for a bit maybe I’ll switch next year

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Question of the Day 💡 What other gear do you recommend for podcasting? We are always trying to up our production! Start using Riverside.FM for FREE here: ➡ riverside.fm/?via=sean-cannell

[@Beldvlmnt]

We added headphones and a small ART headphone amp for ALL conversation (there's 2 of us, and we bring guests most days) but even with us both it's like a last resort issue check. If we can't hear it no one can!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

@@Beldvlmnt Thats a great addition! We will have to give that a try!

[@thesandravshow]

Thoughts of recording a solo KZbin video on riverside? I have a sure mic and a razer webcam. I can’t afford a comers at this time so I’m trying to make something else work for now.

[@MahdiJazini97]

Hi, please also tell us the name of the black shutter curtain that you used as a background , because its fabric is non-reflective

[@ornino54]

Question, what brand or where i can get the shelves where you keep your youTube plaque, thanks

[@chris_stone4809]

How do you connect the multiple cameras? Or rather, what are you connecting them to? Directly to the computer? or is there another device they are connected to?

[@PardonMyQuilt]

Nice! But you need curtains lol. That would also help with echo/sound treatment.

[@mohammederrazki5537]

Great, thank you

[@trentgilliam5192]

Sorry if I missed it, what table top mic stands are you guys using? Thanks

[@patrickel-sayegh1267]

This is great advice! I'm happy to see the Fx3 to my surprise, that's my main camera! I have 2 questions: 1. I am debating between a few cameras for my b-cam/secondary cam. I was recommended the a6600, any suggestions or reasons not to buy it and get the A7s3 instead? 2. Depending on which 2nd cam I get, which lens should one use considering the b-cam will be a close-up/portrait shot. currently, looking at the Sigma 56MM F1.4F.. thoughts?

[@MarqueztheGreatest]

Great info Omare thanx

[@ThinkMediaTV]

No problem bro!

[@fifty_10]

It would be great if you did a Riverside FM feature walk through

[@thevocalstudios]

We are knew in Videomaking. We have a great camera, a good acoustical treated room, but the Audio is still not great. A good Microphone is of course a must. But do you edit your Audio in a seperate Software (EQ, Compressor, Limiter) and import it Back in your video software? Or does your video software offer audio plugins?

[@Luxurage]

Nice tutorial, could you please teach how to remove softs from a ? for karaoke purposes. Than you

[@creolemac211]

The mic on your jacket sounds so much better

[@gabibilling7960]

What audio interfaces do you recommend for 4 xlr inputs? Any thoughts on the Sony ZV-1 for video podcasting?

Wow, this is amazing thank you so much. I am a Doctoral student and I am making a podcast for grad students to help avoid burnout, by providing different tips on stress management, money management, and more. With that being said, I just want the most basic equipment. I will invest in the camera, but honestly as a grad student on a limited source of income, could you recommend good enough “cheaper” equipment? Thank you so much!

Just came across this video. Been following your channel for sometime and you do a fantastic job educating all of us. My question is, if you have two mics how do you mix them together with your video? I’m using iPones for my video.

[@faizroslanmotorvlog]

What software that you use for streaming?

[@powerofcare_]

Hi Omar, this was super helpful. If you are interviewing someone online using a site like Riverside, what equipment matters most? DO I still need the acoustic blocks for the wall and the same type of light?

[@eyecandy-gaming]

what was the lav mic you were using for this recording?

[@CarolinaCowboys]

Why do you need a microphone preamp if the recorder is already providing phantom power?

So weird question, but where did you get the table you use?

Is there a video that talks about how to prevent mic bleedover with two or more mics for a podcast setup?

What is the ND filter that swings away from the lens you are using on that set up?

Hey think media It's always great to watch your tutorial videos. Concerning the audio recording with the "Zoom" you don't mix after recording? Example garageband or other.

[@404creators8]

I shoot video podcasts for my clients and I use the Sony A6400s. Great cameras!!! They shoot in 4K and have no record limit like some cameras so they are great for putting on a tripod and recording for hours without overheating.

If I have a blue yeti usb mic and a sony a6600, is it better to find a way to hook up my mic directly to the camera when it's recording or record the audio and video separately and combine in the edit?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Combine it in the edit. You wont be able to power the Mic from the camera. If you want to have a mic on your camera you'd need a rode mic or a lav mic.
