Best Wave XLR Pro Settings for Shure SM7B? Mine Just Sounds… Off
I recently switched to the Wave XLR Pro with my Shure SM7B, and for some reason I just can’t get it sounding quite right. It doesn’t sound bad but something about it sounds off compared to what I’m used to.
I’m wondering if it’s just my settings, so I’d love to hear what other SM7B + Wave XLR/Pro users are running.
My current setup:
Shure SM7B
Wave XLR Pro
Cloudlifter — I’m still using it, although I wouldn’t think that would cause any issues
Harris Heller’s EQ preset for dynamic mics
Elgato Voice Focus
I also have an annoying issue with Voice Focus where the percentage keeps resetting every time I open/restart Wave Link, so I have to manually put it back where I like it.
If you’re using an SM7B with the Wave XLR/Pro, what are your settings? Gain, EQ, compression, Voice Focus, Clipguard, etc.?
Also, would you recommend ditching the Cloudlifter entirely with the Wave XLR Pro?
Not going for a super radio like voice just natural! Any settings or changes you guys recommend would be appreciated. This has been driving me crazy trying to dial in. Thanks!
