SHURE Desk Mic Boom Arm 🎤 SHOULD YOU BUY IT
Review of the Shure SH-BROADCAST1 Articulating Desktop Microphone Boom Arm.
The Shure Mic Boom Arm, which is made by Gator (and is very similar to the Gator Frameworks Pro 4000 Series Mic Arm) is a spring loaded arm with tension knobs to lock it down.
It has 32.25" of extension, and the included desk clamp can fit desks up to 2.17" thick.
Also included is a 3" mic extension for use with SM7B style microphones, and this allows a full 360 degrees of rotation for your mic so you can get it into the position you need.
The Shure arm has a channel for the XLR cable which hides it along the body, though you will see the cable along the joints. But, you can easily replace the cable whenever you need, which is not always possible with tube style microphone arms like the Gator Frameworks Deluxe 3000 Series Mic Arm.
Here's a video from another channel where they are taking apart a tube style mic arm:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcTuj0soufo
It will fit both 3/8 and 5/8 mic mounts/clips (which is basically every mic since those are the EU and US standards)
Operation is quiet, no squeaking, and it's easy to get into all kinds of positions.
It has the same build quality as other Gator made mic arms, and it sports a black and lime green color scheme.
Works great for podcasting, YouTube, Streaming, Gaming, online meetings, and singing.
XLR cable NOT included.

SHURE SM7dB 🔥 THE NEW LEGEND IS HERE - Full Microphone Review & SM7dB vs. SM7B 🔥
The Shure SM7dB is the microphone you should get. It sounds the same as the legendary Shure SM7B, except it has the In-Line Pre-amp (Cloudlifter) built-in! Perfect for Podcasting, YouTube, Voice Over, Narration, Gaming, and the Recording Studio.
Full review and demo of the Shure SM7dB and a comparison of the SM7dB vs. the SM7B. Everything you want to know, in a single video 👍
Overall, the SM7dB and SM7B are the same microphone. The differences are the SM7dB has a preamp (Cloudlifter) built-in, it's a bit darker (in body color), the rear EQ switches are actually switches, and it's slightly longer. Other than that, it sounds the same, the Unidyne III design is the same, and it comes with the same normal and close-talk windscreens.
The preamp (Cloudlifter) built-in to the Shure SM7dB is switchable from +18 to +28dB making it perfect for those who want more color from their audio interface preamps or for louder sources.
You can also completely BYPASS the built-in preamp, and then use the SM7dB in the same way you would the SM7B. If your interface already has enough gain or you are recording a loud source like a guitar cabinet - you can use the SM7dB completely passive, like every other dynamic microphone.
The Frequency Response switches on the rear of the SM7dB are normal switches now that you can switch with just your fingers. On the SM7B you had to use a flat head screw driver or other tool in order to change the settings (Bass Rolloff, Presence Boost, Flat). With the SM7dB you can easily make changes at anytime without needing tools.
If you have been looking for an SM7B, then you'll want to get the SM7dB.
An SM7B plus a Cloudlifter is more expensive than just the SM7dB. And with a Cloudlifter, you have to make space to set it on your desk, and you'll need to use two XLR cables.
While with the SM7dB, everything is built-in, and all you need is a single XLR cable. You don't lose anything by purchasing the Shure SM7dB, you only GAIN!

KONTAKT 7 - How To Get the Normal/Classic Interface 👍
How to get the normal Kontakt interface back in Native Instruments KONTAKT 7.
With Kontakt 7, Native Instruments updated the interface to work better with their keyboards and Maschine. And it works great if you like preset browsing instead of going to a specific library.
But many of us still prefer the standard Kontakt view where you see all of your libraries on the left and the loaded instrument on the right.
Well have no fear, you can still get that in Kontakt 7.
All you need to do is hit the Library button on top, and then go to View and Show Rack View. That's it.
If you prefer to always see this view, you can go to View and select "Set current view as default"
Then when you load up Kontakt, it will default to the classic view.

SHURE MV7 🎤 EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW & MV7 vs. SM7B TEST 🔥
Full review and demo of the Shure MV7 USB/XLR Microphone, and a comparison between the MV7 and SM7B 🔥
The Shure MV7 is like the little brother of the legendary Shure SM7B. It has a similar body structure, and the classic SM7B yoke that makes getting the mic into position very easy.
The MV7 can be used with USB or with XLR. When used with USB, you can access the built-in DSP effects like EQ and compression - making it so you don't need to use other audio plugins when recording or streaming or having a conference call.
The ShurePlus MOTIV app is easy to use and straight-forward. You can use the Auto-Setting to let the mic take care of all the technical stuff, and even help to prevent things like clipping. Or, use the Manual mode to dial in just the sound you want.
And you can adjust the microphone from the on-board Touch strip to quickly adjust volume, gain, mute, etc...
When used with XLR, you won't be able to access the DSP effects, but you can add whatever plugins you want in your DAW or NLE to prefect your sound.
I do wish there were more Audio FX included in the mic, things like a De-esser, and De-Plosive would be a nice addition, but these can generally be avoided by using proper mic technique. Of course if you are live-streaming, you can always add VST audio plugins in OBS if you need to.
There is also the new MV7+ which just came out a couple days ago. It updated the USB connection to USB-C and includes more built-in audio FX, and better Auto-Level operation. So, if you want the MV7, I would spent a few more bucks and get the MV7+
I'll also test the MV7 versus the Shure SM7B. We'll test them completely raw, and with plugins (audio fx) in our DAW. SO we can finally answer the question: "Which microphone is better? The Shure MV7 or the Shure SM7B"
➡️CHAPTERS
0:00 - Intro
0:14 - MV7 is a Hybrid Mic
0:33 - The MV7 Has DSP Audio FX (USB)
1:01 - Hear the MV7 Built-in Audio FX & Features (ShurePlus MOTIV App)
6:37 - Unboxing and USB Cables
6:51 - Shure MV7 body is similar to SM7B

STUDIO ONE 6 - CLIP GAIN & DYNAMIC CLIP GAIN (Gain Envelope)
How to use Clip Gain and Dynamic Clip Gain in Studio One 6 🔥 and it's even better than Clip Gain in Pro Tools 🤯
There are two types of Clip Gain in Studio One: the normal, standard, static Clip Gain that adjusts the volume across a clip evenly; and Dynamic Clip Gain that changes over time.
*Dynamic Clip Gain is called "Gain Envelope" in Studio One.
With Dynamic Clip Gain, you can manually place your nodes/breakpoints to control the volume of your track, OR you can do it "Pro Tools Style" by making a selection and raising or lowering the level.
You can also use the Paint tools to freely draw in volume changes, or use shapes (Triangle, Square, Sine, etc...)
While Pro Tools is usually thought of as the "king of editing", Studio One 6 implements Clip Gain better than Pro Tools does. It's faster, and you don't have to use tons of modifier keys or keyboard shortcuts. Everything is directly available for you to use quickly and efficiently.
*I am using Studio One Pro 6.5 in the video
*Clip Gain is Pre-Fader

I asked AI to make some RAP DISS TRACKS - They are SHOCKINGLY GOOD 🤯
Rap diss tracks (songs) made 100% with AI 🤖 And they are incredibly good 🤯 We also consider the implications this technology will have on recording music, and the coming integration of AI with your DAW.
We have AI generated diss tracks for Trump, Biden, Kamala, Joe Rogan, Taylor Swift, Ye, Nicki Minaj and Megan THEE Stallion, and even ME!
These songs are incredibly good for being generated in under thirty seconds.
And "yes", the lyrics are generated, the vocals are generated, the music is generated, the mixing and mastering is generated.
Don't just focus on the hilarious songs, think about how you could use this ability to generate song ideas and structures, or even full beats - FASTER than you can start your DAW.
I close out the video with an AI generated metal song that is amazing, and even show how AI can make emotional Country music in under 30 seconds.

Sound Exactly Like Joe Rogan in 3 Simple Steps with iZOTOPE VEA & AudioLens 🔥
How to have your podcast or YouTube video sound exactly like famous podcaster Joe Rogan, using only iZotope VEA and the free AudioLens.
And it's not just Joe Rogan. You can replicate ANYONE'S voice sound and apply it to your voice track.
Easily replicate the sound of your favorite podcaster, YouTuber, TV host, etc... without needing to spend thousands on several plugins, and without needing to understand the technical side of audio production.
You don't need to understand compression, EQ, noise reduction, setting ratios, dynamics, etc... Simply analyze the sound you want to copy with AudioLens, and use VEA to apply it to your voice in a matter of minutes.
You also don't need to use a Shure SM7B. This will work with ANY microphone.
If you want to purchase the SM7B, I would highly suggest the SM7dB instead.

iZOTOPE VEA Voice Enhancement Assistant for Podcasts & Creators 🔥 Pro Sound in ONE Plugin w/ AI 🤖🎤
Review and demo of iZotope VEA (Voice Enhancement Assistant) plugin, powered by AI. This plugin is perfect for podcasters and content creators (ie YouTubers) who want a professional voice-over, narration, vlog, or podcast voice sound - without spending thousands on separate compressors, EQs, and noise reducers. And it's for those who want professional results fast, and without the need for years of experience in the audio field.
VEA will analyze your exact sound and set all the hard stuff for you in the background. All you have to do is use the three knobs to dial in your preferred sound.
Clean - will remove that unwanted background noise and clean your sound.
Shape - is like the EQ, but without having to adjust nodes. The curve is set for you, just dial in the amount of polish you want.
Boost - is like the Dynamics section or compressor section. It will even out your voice, and boost it up to a professional level.
Plus, you can use the FREE AudioLens to capture the curve/sound/tone of your favorite podcaster or content creator and effortlessly replicate that sound for your voice.
VEA takes parts of iZotope RX, Ozone, and Nectar, and combines them all in this single, easy to use plugin.
VEA works equally as well in your DAW as it does in your NLE (video editor)
It's VST, AU, and AAX compatible, so it works with everything.
You can also get a free 10-day fully functional trial over at the iZOTOPE website.

Don't Use exFAT for your Sample Libraries 🚫 (Kontakt, SampleTank, Superior Drummer, Waves, etc...)
Why you don't want to use exFAT for your sound and sample library content, and what format you should use for your external drives.
If you are using external hard drives or external sold state drives (SSD) for sample libraries and sounds for virtual instruments, then you do not want to use exFAT for the drive!
exFAT is much slower when loading samples into Kontakt for example, and it can also cause glitches in playback. exFAT is also more prone to corruption since it does not have journaling.
While exFAT is awesome because it can work on both Mac and PC, the performance hit simply isn't worth it for your music studio.
The format you want to use instead is NTFS for Windows and APFS for Mac.
Whether you are using Native Instruments KONTAKT, Toontrack Superior Drummer, IK Multimedia SampleTank, Waves Virtual Instruments, etc... you will benefit from much faster loading times, and less of a chance of drive corruption.
If you don't know how to format a drive, it's covered in the video.
The external drives I use and recommend are the Samsung T7 Shield SSDs.
They have the best price to size and performance ratio. However, if you want the LATEST tech and don't mind spending quiet a bit more, then the Samsung T9 external SSDs would be my choice. But the T7 is already blazing fast for sample content and recording, as long as you don't format to exFAT.
*Note - If you have Native Instruments KOMPLETE 14 Collectors Edition and many other VI sample libraries, I would highly recommend you get a 4TB drive or two 2TB drives, because Komplete CE will take up almost all of a single 2TB drive.

AI will DESTROY Recording, the DAW, and Plugins 🤯 THIS WILL BLOW YOUR MIND 🤯
How AI will change music creation, the DAW, and plugins. Watch AI create full songs in minutes 🤯
Generative AI, or Artificial Intelligence, will replace the recording of audio for the most part in the next 5-10 years. Instead, you'll be able to simply enter a text prompt, and a track will be generated for you.
Need a drum track? Generate it!, Need a piano track? Generate it! Need a vocal track? Generate it! Simple. You'll have full control over style, type, tempo, timing, chord structure, and everything else. Or even generate full songs with a simple text prompt.
The DAW will evolve into what I call the "DAIW". It will be a "content aware" environment that will have the ability to generate any sound you want within the DAIW. If you generate a drum track with a certain BPM, the DAIW will be aware of the content on the other tracks and it will be able to generate, for example, a guitar track that goes along with the previously generated drum track.
Your DAIW will also mix for you, and master for you. You will not need to adjust volume, panning, eq, compression, etc... All of that will be done for you automatically so your tracks sound "professional". You will also have the options to customize the mix if you choose to do so.
Plugins as we known them will go away. Plugins (audio effects, VSTS, ect...) will either be rolled into an AI model, or they will be add-ons that you will have to subscribe to in order to unlock the capabilities in your DAIW.
You will be able to use "plugins" by typing or saying exactly what you want to your A.I. assistant. You'll be able to effect a drum track with an SSL-E desk just by typing it in. You'll be able to run your vocal track through a unique, impossible to find EQ just by saying its name.
Everything will be subscription based in the future. All DAWs, plugins, and any other software will require a current subscription to use. I'm not saying this is good, I'm saying this is reality.
The biggest advancements in AI and music are still 5-10 years away, so you will still need plugins and your current DAW for several years. But if you want to be in the music business in the future, you better start researching AI music and audio generation now.
In this video I'll show you several Music AI sites and generate some full songs and tracks only using AI.
AI Sites used:
Suno AI
Beatoven
Musicfy
Riffusion
MusicLM
Stable Audio
ALL MUSIC IN THIS VIDEO IS GENERATED WITH AI. Even the video thumbnail is generated with AI 🤣 benonistudio retains copyright to all content used within this completed product (video).
You'll also want to check out Google's DeepMind Lyria AI Model. I wanted to demo it for you in this video, but there are too many rules for using the audio. So check that one out for yourself here: https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/transforming-the-future-of-music-creation/
AI will allow you to "Make Music with Your Mind"

Do NOT Buy the Shure SM7B in 2023! 🚨 (or beyond) Get THIS MIC Instead 🎤
Why you should NOT buy the Shure SM7B in 2023 or beyond, and the NEW mic that you SHOULD buy instead 👍
The Shure SM7B is a podcast and broadcasting heavyweight microphone. Thanks to the influence from people like Joe Rogan, the SM7B has really become the "standard" mic for podcasters.
The SM7B is also a mic heavily used by streamers, gamers, and YouTubers.
While the SM7B has a "legendary sound" that people seem to like, there's always been an issue with the microphone that made it confusing and difficult to use for many people new to the world of Audio Production.
And that is, the SM7B requires a TON of gain (60dB minimum) in order to use it properly. And 70dB+ is even better in my opinion. The problem is that the vast majority of audio interfaces simply do not have anywhere near +60dB of usable gain. Even those that boast a large "gain range" don't actually have that much usable gain.
So the solution for most people was to buy a Cloudlifter, or a "Cloudlifter" type device like the FetHead or Coda Stealth (these are also called 'in-line preamps'). These devices would give the SM7B an extra +25dB of clean gain so it could be used properly with pretty much any audio interface. Of course the issue is that these devices cost $100+ and you'll require two XLR cables, plus you'll have to find a place to set or mount the Cloudlifter device.
BUT! There is no reason to do that any longer. Shure has created a new microphone that will give you the SAME sound as the SM7B, and includes a built-in pre-amp (like a built-in "Cloudlifter") in a single package 🔥
And that is the new: Shure SM7dB Active Dynamic Microphone 👍
That is the microphone you should get in 2024 and beyond. Save yourself the trouble and the extra cost and get the SM7dB.
The SM7dB has the same Legendary Sound as the SM7B....because it IS an SM7B - it just has the in-line preamp built-in now.
You also have a selectable amount of gain, which you don't get with a Cloudlifter. With the SM7dB you can choose +18dB or +28dB of gain, which will allow you to choose your own gain staging to get the sound you want.
If you would like to drive your audio interface pre-amps harder because you like the sound - go with +18dB on the SM7dB.
But, if you don't want the pre-amps of your audio interface to color the sound as much, choose +28dB on the SM7dB for a cleaner sound.
So if you are looking to buy an SM7B for your podcast, youtube videos, streaming, or gaming.....DON'T!
Instead, buy the SM7dB and you'll get the same sound, the same form factor (the dB is a little longer), and the same performance as an SM7B plus Cloudlifter - except all in a single, much easier to use and setup package.
Do not buy the SM7B in 2023! Buy the SM7dB instead 👍
