For all the SM7 users...

[sgt.pepper]

...do you use the Presence Boost for recording Vocals?

 

[Lasse Lammert]

flat for me

(on all sources, also HiHat)

 

[Aaron Smith]

Flat here too.

 

[GeertSamuel]

Flat...

 

[sgt.pepper]

Flat, Flat, Flat... Thanks for your answers!

So...where do you use the SM7 instead of Vocals? Lasse, on HiHat? How does it sounds?

I tried it allready on Toms with good results!

On a side-note, how can an unpowered passive dynamic mic have a "boost," anyway? Or does it like cut everything slightly except the presence range?

SDC on hat=clean and crisp (possibly too sharp)

SM7 on hat=chunky and mellow (possibly too dull)

Having said that, I've been usuing sm7 on hat for 3-4 years now and havn't turned back.

Oh and I've never used it any other way then flat. Try it on kick drums too....it can work.

I never even notcied there were switches on the sm7 until the last session i used one.

if the singer is a little nasal sounding, then flat, but I'll use the boost sometimes. I usually start with it on, and if I don't like it then off it goes. I never use the bass cut, thins shit out waaaaay too much.

Whatever sounds good on the source...
