Hi -off topic :>) How do you have your QU set up? Direct as an interface to DAW for example or..?
I'm new to the mixer, only used the 'QU drive, and transferred a few projects to Sonar.
It was fun to do a bit of mixing off the drive. Something I haven't done in years actually
SE 2200A or 60's Unidyne III into home-made (with ecc83's help!) battery operated pre into Tascam DP-008EX or Tascam 244. Get virtually noise free recordings even with the dynamic as a result of the That 1510 chip in the amp.
SM7b > cloudlifter > Focusrite 2i2
I am listening on your BC page and diggin it. I am gong to BM this page so the next time someone slams the 2i2, I can show them how it works with a 7b in the hands of talent! I had to listen to it twice. The fist time I could not get past the vocals. Thinking Makes It So, KILLER!
Just being curious, do you always need the Cloud Lifter with the sm7 or just quiet sources? Thanks
Sorry to interject, but I actually had no issue with SM7b with loud singers with the US-1800. The Tascam had just enough gain to pull it off well. That was a bit different if trying to record a soft singing female tho. It was about that time I purchased a nice 1073 clone that solved that issue.
I never saw the need for the $150 cloud lifter, when that was just $150 less than I had to afford towards a really nice preamp...

[MENTION=43272]Steenamaroo[/MENTION]I got the SM7b and the Cloud lifter in a package deal at Sweetwater, forget exactly what I paid, but it was like $50 or so off if bought separately.
Have to say, not long ago I advised that if you got a 7b or similar it would most likely be fine with your 2i2 for loud vocal, I think.
That GS quote really seems to put a fine point on this not being the case so apologies if my info was wrong or misleading.
Uh huh?
I did, but I back-pedalled just in the nick of time.
