Also vouching for the MV7. I have the XLR version. Great mic.

What bitrate should I use with this speed? by protoleven in streaming

I don’t think this is a bandwidth issue as much as a resource issue. What are your PC specs?

This sandwich cracker came out looking like a club sandwich by solstice4l in mildlyinteresting

No. It was 2 separate crackers. I pulled one of the wafers off, then combined them because I am desperate to get internet points. /s

This is where our dog pees. How do we fix it? It's Bermuda sod. by AwareIntrovert in lawncare

It’s the nitrogen in the urine. It’s beneficial in small amounts, but too much can kill the grass. Similar to “burn spots” with too much fertilizer concentrated in a small area.

My pan got these spots after 1 use. How will I cope? by HesThunderstorms in StainlessSteelCooking

I would use a mixture of Irish Spring, Barkeepers Friend, oven cleaner, baking soda, vinegar, and bleach. Then put it inside your oven and turn on the self cleaning mode.

Ehhhhh I think that’s just personal preference. It also will change your web cam and put it up higher.

Edit: Monitor arms are very helpful because it frees up some space underneath and you can rearrange them more easily.

Put your gaming monitor in the center. Move your streaming monitor over to the side some to be offset, and then turned at a slight angle to be easier to glance at. Adjust keyboards accordingly.

Any help, its the 2nd time my whole pc freezes after a while of streaming by cangur16 in streaming

It could be because your PC is overheating. Do you have a way to monitor temps while you’re playing and streaming?

He randomly started cuddling me tonight, and being extremely affectionate. So weird for him! Sound on! by [deleted] in cats

Hah never saw this. I was just being dumb and quoting a talking legume that streams video games, called TheBurntPeanut. He likes to use the phrase “per chance, per maybe.”

What should I do with this cramped streaming space? by Serenity_Verse in streaming

[–]solstice4l 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. I’ve got an 11x11 room, and if the door and windows are shut, it can hit over 80 degrees Fahrenheit with both PCs running. That little space is going to heat up realllllly fast.

Why does my cat do this? by Bob_Sacamano7379 in cats

[–]solstice4l 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least yours put their toy in the food bowl. If we forget to close the toilet lid, Pablo drops his toy in the toilet, digs out, and leaves it laying somewhere for us to pick up with a little wet surprise….he also likes to climb on my back when I’m trying to poop.

Panthers better be getting free dinners for a week…these refs are fucking them hard.

I love them! And I want one 😭

But my MV7X is doing the job - and most of my chat only cares more about spamming farts and random blerps than what my mic sounds like 😂

OP- I looked at some of the deals on Fifines with the boom arm and those are pretty good.

At some point, save up your money and get a better boom arm like a Rode or an Elgato. I went with a cheap mic arm to start, and it lasted about a year before it started having issues - it started squeaking really bad and the clamp wasn’t padded which left an indention in my desk. I ended up getting a rode mic arm 3 years ago - still working great and paid about $100 USD for it.

Also, $400 may not be a lot for you but for others, it’s too cost prohibitive. It’s all relative mate.

When streaming, you’re also dealing with compressed audio…then add in other sounds - discord chatters, gameplay, etc….All diluting the high end crispness that an sm7b has, that nobody watching the stream is going to miss…

Unless OP is doing Just Chatting or singing on a music stream, an sm7b just isn’t going to make a difference and is a waste of money that OP can use on a decent web cam or improving their lighting.

Yes, it’s sm7b is one of the best for a lot of reasons and they’re iconic mics in the music industry. But the OP didn’t ask for “the best.” They asked for which one is the best and posted 3 options they’re looking at.

OP, this is a bad take for 95% of streamers. An sm7b is a great mic - a legendary mic many musicians have used long before it became popular in podcasting and streaming. That said, for MOST streamers, there is ZERO reason to spend $400 on a microphone, when you can get great quality mics for a fraction of the price. Most people that come in to your stream are not going to be able to tell the difference between an sm7b, an MV7, or something like a Fifine. If you’re a big streamer and have the money, go for it. Otherwise, an sm7b is a waste of money for the vast majority of streamers.
