I'll have to give that a shot. Thanks! Thanks for the advice! I've got it mounted on a tripod mic stand, and it's working just fine. It is super heavy, but I agree, it's pretty great. Big improvement.

Thank you so much for the clips! They both sound fantastic, but I definitely prefer the sound of the SM7B. What preamp do you use? Do you think the preamps in the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 are good enough to take advantage of the 7b? If I'm going to spend that much on a new mic, I want to get the...

I would really appreciate a comparison clip. They both sound like solid mics. Thanks! I was planning on going with a semi-permanent treatment. Attached with velcro so I don't have to totally re-invest when I move. I don't really have enough room for freestanding panels. The layout of my room...

No, it doesn't seem to, but it's such a low noise that it's kind of hard to tell. I'm normally about that far away, if not just a touch further. I hadn't heard of the RE20 before. Which one do you think would be better for VO? The SM7B is my current next get. That is very useful, thank...

Yeah, it's not nearly a major problem, but it's a little annoying, and I've had a client point it out. Just one, but he's a long-term client, so I don't mind spending a bit of money to make him happier. If it's a problem with a pre-amp, would there be any way to fix that, or am I better off...

Here's a recording I just did that's about a second of recorded dead air, then silence for a second (no recording), then more recorded dead air. The hiss is very minor, but it's there. Easy to hear with headphones.

In that case, how would you recommend going about finding the cause of this noise?

Thanks for the tip, but I've already been doing this. I actually did something I should have done a long time ago just now, I unplugged my mic and recorded just my mixer. Still got the hiss/hum or whatever. The computer might add a bit, and the room definitely doesn't help, but it looks like my...

Yeah, the Steinberg does have MIDI. Which is nice. I'm not sure if I'll use them, either, but it's definitely nice to have. The main difference I've seen mentioned is that the 2i2 doesn't have a digital I/O. Now, I don't know what that means, really. Not sure how it would effect my recordings...

I'll be damned, that's somethin else! Thanks for the heads-up.

A member on these forums recommended these two mixers as possibilities, but I can't decide between the two. I've found equal amounts of people saying the 2i2 is better than the UR22 and vice-versa. What I'm looking for here is why. I'm looking to use it primarily for voice-over work. I have...

Yeah, that's really all it is. I'm hoping it helps. I've got tons of experience with recording, but only more recent experience with caring about quality, so I don't know what's effective and what's not. I'm definitely looking to upgrade at some point, just not sure how soon. I've got an...

I'm at around -14dB. My gain was up a good bit, but even after turning it down, the hiss is still there. Do you have a dedicated audio interface that you swear by? Looks like there are tons of options, and I feel better asking someone who knows this stuff rather than just making a decision on...

I'm a voice-over artist, but I'm not incredibly educated on audio itself. I don't know how to make things sound better, for the most part. I'm looking to step my game up, take my recordings to the next level, but I'm not sure what my next step should be. I'm interested in getting a recording...

Thanks! The bass drum, snare, and all the other drum components are samples I downloaded and used in FL Studio. Not sure how they were made, I just liked the sound of 'em.

Before I posted this thread, I had rotated my setup so that I'd be recording with a wall behind me, thinking it'd improve sound quality. I got tired of that and rotated it back. Here's a cover I recorded today with it back to the original rotation. Is there much of a difference in quality...

Hey, thanks man :)

Thanks for the info, mjbphotos. Seemed like a cheap and possibly effective solution at first, but after everything I've read about using blankets, I'll definitely just wait until I can afford to build some stuff. Here's a song cover I recorded with the new mic. Hoping that with that, someone...

I'm in southeastern Pennsylvania. Looks like there's one right down in Newark, Delaware, where I'm already going tomorrow to pick up cheap booze. Might swing around to Harbor Freight to check it out if my friends don't mind tagging along, but I think from what I've heard here, I'll just wait...
