    Voiceover advice needed - Shure MV7 vs. SM7B for Windows PC

    If you're looking for 'low end', have you tried getting a bit closer to the mic? It's something called 'proximity effect' and is typical for mics that have a cardioid type polar pattern. The closer you get to the mic the more the low end is pronounced. The MV7 also appears to have an app from...

    Adding gain to a USB mic? Audix USB12

    FWIW..... I have a Behringer UMC204HD. I just plugged it into a Win11 PC that has neither Asio4All or the Behringer drivers. I opened Audacity and in the Audio Settings/Recording the UMC204HD showed up. I did record a few short pieces of audio with a mic to be sure it worked and was able to...

    Good drum machine

    No mention of Singular Sound BeatBuddy? Decent pedal that can load different drum kits (purchased or can build your own with wav samples) and MIDI drum beats (from Singular Sound, build your own, or Groove Monkee has a great collection. Software.... Beat Buddy Manager (BBM) 'manages' loading and...

    More masking - time to fire up the (D) cheat machine

    Yes, trust the government, they know what's best....... but first ask the Gulf war vets about the CDC/FDA 'approved' Anthrax vax they were mandated to take and some of the long term effects they are dealing with. I personally know an Air Force vet in his 50's who was mandated to take the Anthrax...

    Record Button

    I have an old 246 that I think is sort of similar, but haven't used in a long time. It sounds like no tracks are 'armed/ready' to record which may result in the blinking record light. When you say the 'numbers start counting', I'm assuming the heads have moved to engage the tape and tape is...

    Yay solar energy!

    Supposedly this facilities has 'hail stow' capability that does tilt the panels. I wonder how or who initiates the tilt (oops!!) ...... "The Scottsbluff project features more than 14,000 JA Solar 380W modules, Brown said, and utilizes a single-axis tracker system with hail stow capabilities from...

    When are magic eye tubes comming back?

    From the shoebox of 'Old Assorted Tubes', a couple Magic Eye tubes which I likely pulled from old radios ages ago. I'm ready for when they make a come back :P. And on the workbench from about 1966 a home built capacitor tester/checker that used a Magic Tube.

    Do I want/need a Model 24?

    I've never got a clear answer on the Model 24 if the input channels are hard assigned to their respective recording track number or is there flexibility to assign an input to any track like the Tascam 2488NEO can do as well as the DP24SD. The Model 24 manual isn't clear on this and the block...

    Windows 11 compulsory Microsoft account

    That article was back in 2021. Microsoft did some updates (Home and versions of Pro build 22H2 and up I think) so the method in that article may no longer work and no longer the option to do an 'offline' account. On the laptop and desktop I got in the last 6 months the only choice was a...

    Windows 11 compulsory Microsoft account

    Nothing is disabled other than the Microsoft account. The laptop still gets all the updates and all applications that I've installed work as they should. The Microsoft store and othe MS apps aren't accessible, but neither of us care about what's there. On boot the screen comes up with my wifes...

    Windows 11 compulsory Microsoft account

    In December 2022 I got my wife a new Dell laptop with Win11 that during setup wanted to have an MS account setup and was not letting me bypass it. I Googled some methods to avoid the account and found a method that worked by entering a bogus email address (no@thankyou.com) with a random...

    Audio interface + preamp

    One other thought if using the preamp out to the interface Line input with the 1/4" TRS balanced cable connection and if the interface levels are still high. Try a 1/4" TS 'unbalanced' cable that will drop the signal by about 6dB. It's likely a short cable between the preamp and interface, so no...
