Shure SM57 vs Shure SM7

If you are interested in this mic, it'll set you back around 100 bucks as per usual, links in the description. And for this review, I have the mic con...

And the last thing that I want to say about the foam windscreens is don't be afraid to not use either of them. I imagine a lot of people won't be look...

I’ve used this and a Shure SM57 next to each other and the similarities in quality was astounding. For either vocals and podcast/streaming, the $100 SM57 is a great pick if you like dynamic mics and don’t wanna break the bank on the SM7B. Also make sure your interface has a decent pre amp if you want it to get enough gain for your use case.

Someone like [Tyler who has a smooth beautiful low end to his voice can benefit from a nice condenser with more high end sensitivity. >liking stage mics for recording voiceover because they're naturally very good at cutting out background noise

The Scarlett seems like a no-brainer for the price. As a personal note, I do like mics and equipment that FEELS well made, BIFL.

High noise floor Seriously, unless you're a veteran in the podcast or voiceover field and can list five solid reasons for purchasing the SM7B (none of which includes "the look"), don't buy this microphone. If you're rocking a Scarlet interface, don't buy this microphone. Most podcasters are going to get a better sound with an Audio Technica AT2100 or other entry-level dynamic (or--if you have a solo podcast and a quiet environment-- even a midrange condenser ). Plus you'll save a few hundred bucks

For the purpose of background noise rejection I can easily recommend the Shure SM57 (or SM58) and if you pair that with a Native Instruments Komplete Audio Interface you will have yourself a really solid setup for a modest price all things considered. SM57 - 130$ CAD.

.To get this mic to work, you would need to spend at least $800 or more. I have a mixed feeling about this mic because it does keep out the background noice pretty well (which was the reason I got this in the first place), however, it not as easy to set this up as I thought

This thing cost $100.00 ANYwhere. If you are buying it for less, its probably a fake.

But a large portion of people buying an SM7B are still going to buy a cloud lifter, no matter what I say. I'm just a small YouTuber. And all of that i...
