00:00:13,549 --> 00:00:08,960
hey everyone Mike here few months ago I

2
00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:13,559
did a video comparing the sm7b this the

3
00:00:21,410 --> 00:00:16,049
share of broadcast microphone with the

4
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:21,420
shure sm58 and it probably wasn't the

5
00:00:27,259 --> 00:00:24,090
most fair of all tests because I run a

6
00:00:31,310 --> 00:00:27,269
lot of compression a lot of

7
00:00:35,540 --> 00:00:31,320
post-processing and so the comparison

8
00:00:37,130 --> 00:00:35,550
well it's good for it was good for me to

9
00:00:38,450 --> 00:00:37,140
show that there's not that much of a

10
00:00:40,310 --> 00:00:38,460
difference you really can get away with

11
00:00:41,810 --> 00:00:40,320
a lot if you throw in the processing

12
00:00:43,670 --> 00:00:41,820
that it for someone out there who is

13
00:00:46,819 --> 00:00:43,680
trying to actually compare the two

14
00:00:49,490 --> 00:00:46,829
microphones in a tonal way probably not

15
00:00:51,619 --> 00:00:49,500
a very good video so I am here doing it

16
00:00:55,029 --> 00:00:51,629
again I have this sm7b plugged directly

17
00:00:58,700 --> 00:00:55,039
into the Mackie mixer which is being

18
00:01:01,700 --> 00:00:58,710
sent out to sound Forge and through a

19
00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:01,710
USB cable the only the only processing

20
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:03,510
you're gonna hear in this entire video

21
00:01:08,330 --> 00:01:05,970
is a brick wall limiter just to even out

22
00:01:11,660 --> 00:01:08,340
the the volumes a little bit so here it

23
00:01:14,570 --> 00:01:11,670
is this is the sm7b the there is not

24
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:14,580
even any presence or base roll-off on

25
00:01:19,999 --> 00:01:15,810
the back of this thing this thing is

26
00:01:20,890 --> 00:01:20,009
flat and so let's go over to the sm58

27
00:01:27,230 --> 00:01:20,900
here we go

28
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:27,240
this is the sm58 all the e queues are at

29
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:30,450
noon the highs mids the lows that are

30
00:01:33,950 --> 00:01:31,890
all set at noon I've used this

31
00:01:36,410 --> 00:01:33,960
microphone for many many years this was

32
00:01:39,770 --> 00:01:36,420
my go-to microphone when I initially

33
00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:39,780
started podcasting this was it because

34
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:42,479
this was laying around my house when I

35
00:01:46,370 --> 00:01:44,640
was playing a lot more rock and roll

36
00:01:48,289 --> 00:01:46,380
when heavy metal bands we had a bunch of

37
00:01:49,340 --> 00:01:48,299
sm58 floating around the house so I was

38
00:01:51,410 --> 00:01:49,350
like hey what the hell stirred the

39
00:01:54,980 --> 00:01:51,420
podcast I got enough microphones so

40
00:01:58,429 --> 00:01:54,990
let's go on back over to the sm7b

41
00:02:00,109 --> 00:01:58,439
hey this is the sm7b you might be able

42
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:00,119
to tell there's like a natural clarity

43
00:02:05,149 --> 00:02:02,610
to it and I'll even remove the

44
00:02:08,900 --> 00:02:05,159
windscreen here we go

45
00:02:10,910 --> 00:02:08,910
there's no windscreen holy crap no

46
00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:10,920
windscreen and it still sounds pretty

47
00:02:16,710 --> 00:02:13,030
good

48
00:02:17,580 --> 00:02:16,720
popping my Peas I'm a PE popper you can

49
00:02:23,070 --> 00:02:17,590
take a look at this thing it looks like

50
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:23,080
a it almost looks like a glorified sm57

51
00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:26,050
which I have used I've used 57s on

52
00:02:31,530 --> 00:02:28,870
vocals plenty times they they tend to

53
00:02:37,010 --> 00:02:31,540
really punch above a lot of the mids and

54
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:37,020
lows let's go ahead on over to the sm58

55
00:02:45,330 --> 00:02:39,970
back on over to the sm58

56
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:45,340
a and it's still us it's this is a solid

57
00:02:49,710 --> 00:02:48,130
beast eaten microphone you can drop this

58
00:02:51,150 --> 00:02:49,720
thing you could you can hit somebody in

59
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:51,160
the head with it it'll do some damage

60
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:52,330
I've been hitting a head with the

61
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:54,310
microphone like this I have a like two

62
00:03:00,330 --> 00:02:57,370
more fluid around that there are all

63
00:03:03,259 --> 00:03:00,340
dented up it this was actually in pretty

64
00:03:08,610 --> 00:03:03,269
good condition let's go back over to the

65
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:08,620
sm7b back on the sm7b sounds pretty good

66
00:03:12,420 --> 00:03:10,450
you know what I'll do with the sm7b I'll

67
00:03:25,110 --> 00:03:12,430
actually turn on the the presence boost

68
00:03:26,910 --> 00:03:25,120
right now okay all right

69
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:26,920
the president's boost that boosted the

70
00:03:31,979 --> 00:03:29,530
presence on this thing you can see right

71
00:03:34,590 --> 00:03:31,989
there hey boosted some presents there's

72
00:03:35,699 --> 00:03:34,600
no base roll-off now I mean I don't know

73
00:03:38,370 --> 00:03:35,709
if you can hear the bass we're all just

74
00:03:40,250 --> 00:03:38,380
bass roll-off is engaged right now bass

75
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:40,260
roll-off is in gay

76
00:03:48,730 --> 00:03:47,500
I'm not sure if you can hear too much

77
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:48,740
with the bass roll-off it's supposed to

78
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:51,290
cut down on a background noise I don't

79
00:04:02,820 --> 00:03:55,850
know so this is the sm7b and let's go

80
00:04:10,390 --> 00:04:02,830
back over to the this sure the shure

81
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:10,400
sm58 hello sm58 here and yeah hopefully

82
00:04:16,750 --> 00:04:12,610
you found this demonstration

83
00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:16,760
enlightening engaging and maybe it'll

84
00:04:24,370 --> 00:04:19,519
help you decide which microphone to buy

85
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:24,380
for yourself but if you want to see the

86
00:04:28,540 --> 00:04:26,450
other comparison when you store a lot of

87
00:04:29,620 --> 00:04:28,550
processing or something I have the video

88
00:04:31,750 --> 00:04:29,630
up maybe I'll post that in the

89
00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:31,760
description so you can meet comparison

90
00:04:36,850 --> 00:04:33,710
but this is the raw this is the raw

91
00:04:38,980 --> 00:04:36,860
comparison no processing besides a brick

92
00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:38,990
wall limiter let's head on back over to

93
00:04:45,730 --> 00:04:43,310
the sm7b this is the sm7b with the

94
00:04:48,430 --> 00:04:45,740
presence engaged okay here we go

95
00:04:52,150 --> 00:04:48,440
presents engaged how about that not bad

96
00:04:54,490 --> 00:04:52,160
okay well thanks guys and hopefully you
