     @Hoss @anime_outdoor The SM7B is the meme podcast mic, but everyone is retarded and doesn't know that the focusrite preamp (that everybody gets) doesn't push enough power to properly power the damn thing so everyone's sm7b sounds like trash instead of having the rich sound the mic is actually known for and is the reason everyone recommends it.
     Jewtubers and (((podcasters))) don't know how to google long enough to learn this literal only piece of audio engineering information that they need to know, and so you have lots of SM7Bs out in the wild that were a total waste of money because they paid the premium but are too stupid to get the premium quality audio out of the thing.
     
     Sorry, you activated my trap card.

     @Hoss @anime_outdoor You know it's a podcast because they are using the SM7B
     What do you bet they don't have a big enough preamp to bring it to unity?

     I just know the Shure mics are really good but most people don't need them. Like buying a Ferrari when all you use your car for is going to the grocery store.

     @Hoss @anime_outdoor I mean everyone can (and imo should) have great audio, but they buy tools they don't know how to use and then complain they don't work, or look amateurish in uniquely annoying ways.
     Bad audio is a faux pas in every setting except calling people slurs in voice chat, but even then, wouldn't it be better if you had rich, buttery smooth, resonant audio as you called that faggot out for being a fucking nigger?

     @pwm @Hoss @anime_outdoor I'm irritated by the podcast mic thing, because it got all the corporate boomers to throw away their blue yetis for "better" equipment that isn't set up right. For all its faults, the yeti and its lookalikes were simple USB mics with self-explanatory knobs, headphone jacks, little LED maps of the pattern

     Chances are just a little better it will give servicable audio on a zoom call....while their Shure is just sitting there in a creaky $12 arm mount picking up every little bonk and thump

     What bothers me is that these podcasters don’t understand the optimal proximity for which this mic is designed. It’s designed for you to be right up on the mic, and many of them are a foot away or more. That’s a lot of times why it sounds bad or that you can hear every bonk and thump. Not only does it require a lot of preamp gain to drive it normally, they are gaining it up in post as well because the audio source is too far away!

     @anime_outdoor I can't help but bet that her entire origin was faked, she was selected and tapped, and they made her "viral" clip in a lab, then forced it into the algo.

     I'd bet if you talked to her brother he'd tell you all the inorganic details with a shrug

     @anime_outdoor I like how nobody will take this screeny themselves, they can't go and look at the podcast themselves

     IDK if real but accurate
