Question 2

I heared it's very sensitive mic and my play room is not 100% silent, so is it captures all the natural sounds in the play room?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is a very sensitive mic. It is so sensitive that it will capture the sounds of the cars and motorcycles that drive by my house when I record, or when my air conditioning unit is on, or the hum of a speaker, or the flush of a toilet from across the house even through closed doors. However you do not have to have a pro soundproof room to record. Just make sure that as much ambient noise as possible is reduced and whatever extra noise is left over in the recording will not be noticeable if other tracks are introduced in the song. It also depends on what purpose you're using the mic for. Straight voice recording, like podcasting? vocals with midi tracks? If it's podcasting than it's not really a big deal if theres ambient noise and might sound eerie if it is ONLY your voice, while a little ambient noise is able to be covered up with other tracks, if you're using it for music production. In either case, this mic is probably the highest quality for the lowest price you'll ever find. And don't be fooled at that either, this would be a perfectly acceptable mic to have in a professional recording studio.

Question 3

How good is this mic compared to the shure sm7b for screaming/heavy vocals?

Accepted Answer

I would personally prefer the Sm7b for screaming vocals because it has a better low-mid frequency response for a fuller sound. The 4040 has a lot more articulate high frequency response which I find great for catching every little detail of a singer such as rasp but it doesn't catch the power of an aggressive vocal like the 7b can. Both great mics but I would go with the 7b for aggressive vocals and screaming.

Question 4

Can anyone share what interface they use with this mic? I see someone recommended the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. Any others you would recommend?

Accepted Answer

I've been using the m-audio fast track pro. Basically , this a good mic used primarily for overhead recording -- drums, pianos. But I've used it on vocals and guitar and it's good but only as good as ur pre amp. If ur interface doesn't have good preamps I would recommend buying an external one if ur serious about getting high fidelity recordings. Hope that helps
