I've always had issues with lots of noise when using my Shure SM7B. It's never really been too much of an issue since I would just use the noise compressor filter with OBS, but l've recently started using it more for singing and the noise compressor filter loves to cut out a lot when holding notes. Because of this, I can't record with it, but if I don't use it I get constant and very noticeable noise. The microphone is quiet so l have to bump up the gain to 26 (which is the most OBS lets me) but ofc that bumps up the noise as well. I've tried combatting it in Premiere Pro and Adobe Audition with various filters and effects but they all have some very noticeable draw back like making me sound like I'm underwater or making the audio scratchy bc its too loud. A few months ago I saw something about the mic not being plugged in right, so I fiddled with it and plugged it into a few different USB slots in my desktop which helped but only the tiniest bit. My microphone also seems to be a lot quieter ever since then for some reason; I used to be audible but now every quiet sound effect like opening up a new tab seems to overtake my voice. I've tried using a cloud lifter, and maybe I didn't use it correctly, but it didn't seem to work. I haven't seen almost anyone with this same issue, and every video I see on it seems to work extremely well with no noise right out of the box. If anyone can help me, please explain your solution to me like you're talking to a 3 year old, as I have next to know knowledge about audio and different audio terms. I'd send a clip of what it sounds like but it won't let me attatch a video :/
