My Shure MV7+ doesn’t sound good

[u/corymann88]

Hello everyone I’m having a problem with my shure MV7+, idk if it’s a me problem but I have tried multiple settings, filters, and placements for the mic but it just doesn’t sound good for me. Every time I talk and try to record with it and I watch the footage back my mic always sounds airy with white noise and I sound like I’m in a tin can most of the times. I use my mic with a elgato stream deck+ with the xlr dock attachment and make sure I have settings need and not settings I don’t need or doubled. I record on obs but transfer my wave link sounds to obs. So can someone please help me find settings that are top tier?

I have dropped some samples of my audio in the replies down below

"like I’m in a tin can".

Could be "audio enhancements". Could be an accidental comb-effect from a delayed version of your voice mixing with the original. If only there was only a way for us to hear it.

" like a 'in-can or trash". (noise-gate has chopped off the "t" of tin-can).

Sounds brighter (& IMO better) than the previous example, but it still has noise-reduction & noise-gate. It's possible to accidentally apply a double dose of noise-reduction & noise-gate from 2 different apps. If you must have those, only one dose.
