 Normally I record these impulse episodes and it's just me alone in my room with my cat and now it's like someone's watching me record Every single screw-up you do you will be so heavily judged What is up everyone? My name is captain zesty Mike and today we have a special guest with us derpy thunder. Hello everybody I wasn't looking at the camera, but hello everybody. I was so it's okay We'll just keep okay for like three seconds while you're all right So today I wanted to do an equipment spotlight spotlighting his equipment that he uses in his videos because I came across his channel and said wow That audio is crisp and sexy and I want it all over my desk So I figured I would ask him what equipment he uses and thought it might be good to share with you guys It's good to learn with what you have and make do with what you have But there are some people that want to jump the extra mile and push forth there You know their channel a little bit further So this is to those people who want to find a way to make it a little bit more professional your turn Always this where I come in and talk okay as a brief overview than I suppose of what I'm using I very early on I wanted to achieve the best audio I could but for the best price and that doesn't always happen But in the terms of what I found I'm using the shore sm7b Which is a fully dynamic cardioid microphone from obviously the shur company sh ure not like you sure of this company Yes, it's a sh ure actually was looking up a review earlier And there was some of the comments is like is he sure that this is the microphone. He's using or is that sure? Microphone there was a lot of okay, wow comments, so I figured I could yeah that person's just after Likes or whatever you get on Amazon comments. I don't know anyways dynamic Cardioid is actually quite an interesting combination Dynamic implies that it doesn't need phantom power, which is the standard 48 volt the most condenser microphones need so you've got a lot more versatility when it comes to actually connecting the microphone to different types of Preamps different types of interfaces different types of eq's or mixer boards there's a lot of stuff that you can do with this microphone and Personally in my opinion it excels at just about everything. I use it for voiceovers. I use it for YouTube and I use it for podcasting It's a very very excellent microphone that I find can just really handle every situation and handle it Well now we did price this whole entire rig out earlier. What do we come to 450? I think 450 to 500 was at least what I'm using anyways for bare minimum If you're wanting to use the sure SM7 B It runs off an XLR connection and can be hooked into any standard audio interface preamp or equalizer I personally really enjoy the microphone because it's dynamic It's good at what it does and it can do pretty much everything whether you're trying to record a YouTube video a podcast of Voiceover your mother baking a cake. It's good at just about anything you can throw at it I've used this microphone for about a year now, and I've really had no issues with it What so ever other than something that should be pointed out it is very very quiet if you are going to get this Microphone straight out of the box. I think it sounds fantastic, but it is very quiet So it is highly recommended that you plug it into some kind of Pre-amplifier or audio interface it has the ability to change the gain. What power is the microphone? What gives it power that receives it from your computer and thing my Bobber Johnson thing my Bobber Johnson? Well You see Mike thing my Bobber Johnson. That's a very difficult category. I'm a filmmaker not an audio expert So right all right technology. I could speak well camera stuff all day when it comes to when you're talking No, no actually you got it right the thing. I'm a Bob a jigger is actually a very very specific part that you need for audio my thing I'm a Bob Magigger do Hickey Mawatsut is in the form of a focused right scarlet 6i 6 now This microphone needs some kind of audio interface that is again going to convert the XLR output to USB You don't necessarily need a 6i 6 interface such as what I'm running However, I would recommend either the scarlet 2i 2 or some kind of standard Audio interface that is capable of taking a signal bumping up the volume a little bit Letting you tweak with a couple of the game settings and just what the microphones doing and then you can plug it in USB into your computer although my whale is sagging there we go You have to keep that part in my whale is sagging Hashtag yes hashtag derpy's whale is sagging Hope that starts trending on speed on Twitter Yeah, no Definitely shouldn't and then we will also list all these different products down in the description below So you guys can check it out and see if it's something you might be interested in my whale is sagging again Well, I think that pretty much covers everything mainly wanted to you know Figure out what equipment you use to get the sound that you get because that's personally the sound I've been looking for for my videos for a while I always thought that was right doing post not something you could just set up and get it's a little bit of both Well, I mean personally like what I'm hearing right now. It's good Yeah Your videos are obviously better because you take a little more time with them But the fact that the natural sound is pretty cool like pretty good quality. That's pretty impressive by it So well, thank you for Shining some light on that for us. Of course. Thank you for having me. It's been a very uh Whale up a time. Please tell me you're keeping that in well, please you you've got it. We'll see well Well see But anyways guys that is it if you want to check out Derpy's channel and see all of the good Microphone this all over his channel you could do that the links are down in the description below as well as my channel down there It's not quite as cool, but it's there.
