Video

Thanks for watching. What you hear in this video is pretty true to the mic. The level was only raised so that it's consumable here on youtube but definitely no limiting or heavy compression. Bringing up the audio has no effect on the native sound of the mic, if anything it also lets you hear if there are any noise floor issues. I used no EQ aka the flat option and did use noise reduction that the mic supplies because that is how I would use it and it's a built in feature of the mic.

@@RayOrtega Good information, then what we hear is the processing that the microphone system applies. Yes noise reduction was strong. The noise gate cuts start and end of most words. To me it also sucks the lift out of the sound as well. All nuances and textures of a voice, meaning the fidelity, are also gone. Just a note. Røde have a similar problem. Damage control on their system is to set it at -21 och -24dB and gain in the camera instead. Then it is sort of usable.

@@danielenstrom1873 Yes, any processing is native unless I note it, which I sometimes do my own processing later in the video as a demonstration/comparison.

You cannot hear audio coming back to from the headphone jack while live-streaming? Or do you mean you can't hear yourself?

I’d say no. Of course pops depend on the person who is speaking. Every one has a different level of plosive that they produce but this version has given extra room between the windscreen and the capsule which helps more than it did on the first version. It also depends on mic placement. If your plosives are heavy you’ll want to speak into the mic off axis at more of an angle.

Thank you for watching!

Are you referring to USB-C inputs? If so, you can buy an extension to give you more ports, something like this but they are a dime a dozen so shop for the one that gives you what you need amzn.to/3xNylfO

Thanks!

What is the jack connected to? In other words, what are you trying to input into your camera?

Shotgun mic. Rode

@@atasteoftolga Seems odd since those are usually made for cameras. What model exactly? Is it one of these and if so, which model exactly? rode.com/en-us/microphones/on-camera

It's with all shotgun mics I attach. I've got 3 rode mics. It's only started doing this I've noticed. On my camera screen with the audio levels on display, it would always show left & right, but some reason, dunno what, it's only picking up for the right side and nothing for left .

Thanks, here's the full video, check the time-codes for the spots where I'm using XLR vs USB etc. And when XLR, I'm using the Rodecaster Pro czcams.com/video/Af6mntdthf8/video.html thanks for watching and hopefully for the sub!;)

Going from the Yeti to the MV7+ will be a big improvement in noise isolation. Contenders (Yeti) definitely sound different than dynamics (MV7) so it might take getting used to but it's a good move. Thanks for watching and subbing!

I did see this and thank you!

Thanks for the compliment! And the comparison was definitely not have the two cams compete but to demonstrate how powerful the A7S is...seeing the mush that comes out of the Canon lets you appreciate even more what you can get from the A7. Thanks for watching and appreciate the sub!

Hey thanks a lot! I didn't know I was on their website, I'll take a look. Really appreciate the feedback!

Definitely the quality is not as good but the real goal of this video was just to show people that it's an option they already have. In the case where you are limited on time, don't want to deal with it in post or maybe going straight to social, S&Q can be a good option and honestly I rewatched this just now and I'm pretty happy with the footage it produced, 99% of the audience would never see a difference but of course it the footage is for something more important, you're going to benefit more by shooting your highest frame rate and conforming in post. Thanks for the feedback, for watching and hopefully for subbing!

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback and the sub! ;)

Thanks! This is recorded at 60fps then converted to 24fps to create the slow motion you see. Here is a complete tutorial I made on how to do this czcams.com/video/PT1tR2Y-y7E/video.html Thanks for watching and subbing!

Unfortunately I don't know but if you find out, make sure to comment back, thanks!

Thanks so much! I think I had too much time between videos, this was my comeback and the views aren't coming but that's just the algo I guess...I really appreciate the comments, thanks again!

I looked up some settings but couldn't find accessibility settings for voice unfortunately.

Can't say for sure 100% but phantom power sends power down XLR cables, not 1/4" line or instrument cables so it doesn't sound like it would be an issue. Maybe more accurately, phantom power should not be going to the 1/4" inputs on the combo inputs you see on the L12, it should only be sending phantom to the XLR input when turned on. Found a thread where someone is asking about this for their Moog so it's similar to what you are doing and might provide extra insight www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/14dmv1w/trs_cables_and_phantom_power/

Looks like on that mixer you have a Monitor send as well as an FX send, you could use either of those but you'd probably use the Monitor send for the monitor.

Thanks for sharing. I definitely like the ease of this mic. I don't use it as my daily driver just cause I have a whole setup with a mixer already but if I was starting, this would be the way to go if I only needed one mic.

Tough one;)

Wicked.

@@RayOrtega extremely

Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@RayOrtega I just tried it, and it works👍 and I will make it myself 👍 Thank you very much

The Insert channel is after the preamp, at least on my mixer, so the preamp will affect the level and then obviously you wouldn't need a preamp on the other end if you didn't have one.

@@RayOrtega thank you very much!!!

Yeah it's a bummer that it doesn't come with both types of cables but I have a cable like this one (USBA to USBC) that I tested and it worked fine amzn.to/4aBFsFd. Not all cables and USB connections are the same, in my experience, but hopefully a cable like this will do what you need. These are a dime a dozen so buy whatever works for you and make sure it's returnable in case it doesn't work for you.

@@RayOrtega Thank you for responding. I will get the mic after 3 days. Do u think usb c to usb a from brands like anker will be fine? Will it affect the sound quality by any means?

The one I linked to is Belkin which is just like all the other brands (Anker, etc). I generally like those two brands for third party parts. I don't think there will be any affect on quality, from what I know they're all just transferring 1 and 0s as opposed to what you find with analog where the signal can be affected by the cable. I'm also far from an expert so this is just my off-the-cuff assumptions and based on what I've tried.

@@RayOrtega Very helpful and informative. Thank you so much. So excited to try the mic and write you my experience with it!

It could. Depends on the mic. Plug in an SM7B, which is the most popular mic, and you'll need all that gain ;) But this was just an overview, not a demo but I'll link my gain staging demo video into this video, thanks.

same thing, i cant even use the new app...

hmm interesting one. Maybe reach out to Shure and see if they have thoughts. I just got an email about them getting rid of the old apps and having MotivMix only so maybe something was stuck in that transition. I'm on a mac so I'm less familiar with Windows apps. Make sure you're firmware is up to date as well as your operating system. And maybe try plugging the mic into your phone and using the app there if you are just trying to setup the mic with the settings you want.

I had the same issue just now. I deleted the old Shure Plus desktop app and installed the new MOTIV Mix. So far, I took @RayOrtega advice and made sure my OS system was updated. From there I closed the app and restarted my whole PC. Logged back in and started the MOTIV Mix desktop app. I found success and it's finally showing the manual settings and some additional things. Hope this helps

@@ObiK1Shinobi Thanks for the followup! Glad you got it working and I hope this helps others who have the same issue.

I've heard that too but I don't hear it. Sounds great on my voice but that's just one sample. The key is to listen to all the samples you can find here and decide how it sounds to you, not necessarily how the reviewer thinks it sounds. As reviewers, we test a lot of mics and gear and we get way down in the weeds and tend to hear the smallest detail that 99.9% of the audience will never hear. I think it sounds great but it's definitely subjective and the only thing you can do is decide if it's good to you. Apart from there being an actual problem with the mic, it's going to just be opinion. So far I haven't heard of any issues with the mic, just opinions;) Thanks for watching.

Yes, the whole video was recorded with the MoveMic. Check out "8:57 Downsides" where I talk about some of the reasons why you might choose another mic. Mostly price and third party app use.

No matter that use it at home if you’re a musician you are a friend but if you’re yourself playing just your own music better at home otherwise rent a PA system and if you’re a good musician or you can sign you really don’t need right tomorrow but no I would not play out with it! Not even the L 20 These are meant for home….

Thanks, Patrick. Glad you got it working. I didn't spend any time with it using it as a PA and it was just a borrowed unit for the review so sadly I can't tinker with it to try that setup. It can definitely be confusing given that all the controls do multiple functions digitally. It's powerful but a steepish learning curve.

@@RayOrtega Clarify I’m sorry if If sending this to the wrong person my apologies ,but I’ve been doing this for a long time you and basically it’s great for home recording but never trust it out. better for home recording maybe you and another person to be a trio but I have powered speakers and if you’re going to do a live show and everybody’s got a serious guitar players usually have monitors slash speakers head unit same thing for bass players like most serious ones have Their own stuff….probably have to rent out a PA system I would do it for that purpose for a live show but if talent shines through! L-12 or l-20 are absolutely great I guess it’s just my opinion and at home fine ,I just wouldn’t trust these in a live show.. I have lot of experience not that it can’t be done I personally it’s just a me thing

Hard to say. Sometimes the left will just bleed into the right channel and so you’re nit necessarily getting two channels.

@@RayOrtega Thank you! I appreciate the swift reply!

He shoots, he scores.

You probably have it right both ways. Definitely different voices will matter and that’s why it’s great that there are so many reviews so that hopefully you can find someone who has a similar voice to your own. There isn’t too much processing here but the MV7+ was using light compression and the Denoise was on. And the SM7B had some light compression to match but mostly they were just level matched. The SM7b is darker in its sound otherwise they sound very similar on my voice.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Cynthia. I would agree. Only issue I ever had with one was an early model USB version and the phantom power switch has a loose connection and the USB had a hum which Mackie acknowledge and fixed in the next generation. But I have still used the same mixer for live shows and it handled everything I threw at it. Great stuff.

Great news...yes! Check out from 1:28 where I talk about it. Set up the mic the way you want in the app and then you can take that mic to any other computer or even phone and it will have the same settings, even the denoiser...it's all inside!

The problem is its subjective. I've seen that review too and I think the USB is just as good as the MV7. I've reviewed both mics so you can also watch my other review to see how the two differ on my voice via USB. I think they both sound great. But also when you review mics you start to hear the slightest of details that nobody who will hear your voice will ever hear. I think you'll love the MV7+.

@@RayOrtega Thank you so much for response and clarifying. I’ve ordered MV7 plus and can’t wait to try it.

@@OislamforallO1 Sure thing, happy to help..enjoy the mic and let me know what you think!

That's the cool part, it's not a noise gate but actual noise removal processing. A noise gate would not reduce the noise while talking. You can hear the processing ID the noise profile then remove. Really cool feature.

Agree. This is the USB mic I’d be getting if I was starting today. It’s really good. Obviously for budget reasons the ATR series mics are great. Over the years I’ve fell out of favor with recommending them as much simply cause I’ve come to realize they are very sibilant. But they’re still good mics. Q2U a little smoother so that’s my goto reco in that range.

Thx for watching. Old video but if I recall the screen you’re talking about is the quick menu on the touch screen. Hope that helps.
