I agree. 9 out of 10 people who buy them don’t need it. Any other mic will work. Unless it’s for content and music creation. But it’s the thing to have so everyone has one. (Including me. But I got mine back in 2013 before it was cool)
Easy fix. 1. Take off the windscreen and put a normal pop filter in it's place (windscreens are for outdoor use and they muffle the sound) 2. Install the Anser mod by Truman Boom... clarity, gain reduction and one of hell of a nice mic without the extra cable and hassle of a cloud lifter. It will also put you miles ahead of every other jackass who owns this mic👍
is the anser mod supposed to be as good as a cloudlifter? im using a fethead right now as when i got the mic i was tight on budget and was gonna get the cloudlifter at somepoint
Dude get off your high horse. First off, as many other people in the comments have pointed out, your boy didnt even pronounce cloud lifter. Secondly, since all podcasters use SM7bs now it has now set the standard for podcasts. So if you want to have a quality production podcast, you cant use a sub $400 mic. "Probably not using it correctly" cmon man.
Actually everyone knows it's low output mic and needs a preamp which are made by various companies cloud is just one of the companies. And it's a lifter not a filter you clown. People need to make videos about things they understand because they look like clowns.
Why do the biggest morons get all high and mighty about being more “ researched” and then say “ yea I got a cloud filter” Wow you are enlightened, it takes like… one google search to find a suggestion to buy a CLOUD LIFTER
Let's be honest. 2017 CT final was the impressive win. The T20 match at the UAE, where winning the toss wins you match kinda situations, It's not a big deal.
Try Bruel & Kjaer instrumentation mic's. They may require special high voltage phantom power and not none like SM7's, or 48 VDC like most condensers, and that may mean normal low voltage mic cords do not comply with electric codes, but they're near ideal for picking up sounds actually present, be that voices, musical instruments, or people in nearby rooms or outside on the street. IOW, the users have to build serious quality studio spaces, and learn to avoid bad habits with sounds from papers, food, chairs, etc.
I’ve never owned a cloud filter, or a cloud lifter until recently, but decided to try one for my sm7b, and it adds nothing but noise to a perfect microphone.
I would agree if it didn't have atrocious hiss. And before you say something about gain or preamp quality, don't. The hiss is there no matter what. 5k preamp on this mic still produced hiss, tested on 3 different sm7bs.
@@ryandunham9282 trace audio Anser mod . You gotta send in your mic to them to get it done. There's videos on CZcams about it . Just search sm7b mod it's literally the only good one out there
Listen if you have a podcast you don't need a cloud lifter. most interfaces come with well over 70 db if there are more than 4 xlr outputs 80% of the time. but a clout filter might be good to reduce the white noise. But the sm7b is by far the best mic right now.
Ive tried so many different settings, eq's, compressions etc with the sm7b. And none sounded good enough on my voice. I see other people where it sounds great on their voice but not mine. I got the rode procaster and it sounded excellent on my voice almost right out of the box. I think your specific voice matters with what mic you use. Problem is everyone thinks this mic is the best for some odd reason.. lol
Is it really unpopular? Most entry level audio interfaces are capable of causing the SM7B to clip lol. And since preamp noise has the highest SNR at its max, there is no issue. Inline preamps make it worse. Their EIN is generally slightly louder than the preamp itself so by using one and not maxing out your interface gain you are just ruining your audio. If you are considering a cloudlifter, may as well get a DBX 286s since the EIN is roughly the same except you get 60DB of gain from it.
@@skorpers it's not unpopular, op just doesn't know what they're talking about. The only places that cloudlifters are popular are desktop gaming setups. Any actual recording environment is using a real preamp with the sm7b.
Theres so many great microphones out there, let alone a whole host of broadcast dynamic microphones to suit any budget. You really don't need an SM7B/cloudlifter to get great sound.
@@skorpers mainstream.. Twitch streamers and youtube creators didn't use the shure sm7b to the same degree then as now, now it feels like almost every channel uses that microphone, which wasn't as common 10 years ago.

It's cloud lifter, not filter.
Doesn't make it "overrated" its still an incredible mic if you know wjat you are doing. Whoch you clearly don't.
I tried a cloud "filter". Couldn't hear shit
Bro just get a Fifine AM8 and a rodecaster duo.. insane combo man because of the rodecaster's on the go post production fx
Overrated isn't the right word. He wasn't saying its overrated. It's sought after. Whether the podcaster needs it or not is the question.
Wish I was as close with my parents as you are with that mic. Leave some room for jesus boy

There was no T20 WC during Imram, Wasim time 😂😂😂
Never seen this clown and he’s gatekeeping lol you don’t need a podcast sport
Get the Klark Teknik cm1..its the same exact specs as cloud filter for $35

Then instead of this what should i get ?? Audio Technica at4040? Actually It's in my consideration

Audio Engineer here, your full of it.😂
Agreed.
Junejo.❤❤
I agree!
The cloud lifter was recently tested and shown to have a completely imperceptible impact on the tonality of a mic.
the best in the pakistan CZcams game
9 times out of 10 the sm7b beats out my u87ai, lewitt 1040, wa47 and it drives me crazy. Workhorse of a mic.

It has a unique sound. But not the best

U don't need the cloudlifter if u have the correct mixer. Like a xlr wave from el gato. Or a rode caster 2.. And many others..
A cloud “filter”, might need to do more research lol
Exactly LOL
That’s strange. My buddy doesn’t use a cloud lifter with his sm7b and he gets many streams on his professional quality music mixed by himself. Strange
Trash content trash creator 😂
Sounds like a hater to me
What's their CZcams channel
I use the RE20. Done. I never had a desire to get the SM7B. I knew what worked for my voice.

RE20 works for anyone. Only thing wrong with it is the potential for needing to replace the foam in the future.
@evanmendez8336 in europe, the Re costs 200 more ^^
Whats the full video? I wanna watch it now.
So you just want to be “different” okay 👍🏻😂 loser
Unpopular opinion: if you have a decent outboard mic pre, you don't necessarily need a cloud lifter for the SM7B
The cloudlifter is an outboard mic pre

As an early adopter of this microphone, (2014) it feels like everyone thinks I bought it just because everyone else has it these days.
Early? SM7 = 1973. SM7A = 1999. SM7B = 2001. How is 2014 early by any stretch?
