    Rode NT2-A vs AKG C414 vs Neumann TLM 103

    Here's a quick comparison. Sorry, the new sample is pretty sibilant, working on taming that. But other that that and having to make adjustments for the increased sensitivity, pretty stoked with how its sounding. Oh, the new samples aren't finished, I know the levels are off and stuff. Just...

    Rode NT2-A vs AKG C414 vs Neumann TLM 103

    For the 1-2 of you waiting with bated breath, I went with *drumroll* an Austrian Audio OC 818 and an Apollo Twin X neither of which I think I brought up here as potential contenders lol. I know you guys will think the Apollo Twin X is overkill for what I do, which is true, but I have some...

    Added Cloudlifter - Now picking up radio frequency?

    How did you guys learn all this stuff? Did you just pick it up along the way or did you ever take any course work/apprenticeships? I recently got a tip to a few local studios that offer engineering classes that I'm looking into.

    Added Cloudlifter - Now picking up radio frequency?

    They are shorter, I had read either here or somewhere else that that might be helpful. I'm hesitant to think I'll ever be brave enough to chop one up or try to do any cord work myself, but I will hang on to them as a "just in case", so who knows.

    Maybe! lol The two tourtek cable I had were pretty new with almost no wear and tear so I was a lil peeved to be replacing them so soon so I was like "fuck it"

    Update: two mogami gold cables later and I think the issue is fixed. Thanks everyone!

    Added Cloudlifter - Now picking up radio frequency?

    Thank you everyone for your thoughtful comments and suggestions. I am appreciative, but very confused about what I should do lol. Right now I am buying some new cables that are much shorter so I've got less coiled around and overlapping and whatnot, it seems to get worse or better depending on...

    Hmm what do you mean about the ground being grounded? I don't really know anything about electrical stuff but a few months ago I had an issue where turning off a light was causing interference in my cables and I think someone mentioned something similar.

    Added Cloudlifter - Now picking up radio frequency?

    I very much appreciate your thoughtful response, though 98% of it went over my head. 🙃 So you are saying the cable type should be fine, but one might be faulty/broken? I live in the San Diego area, I'm not sure how close you mean by "nearby" but a quick google search is showing that there are...

    Added Cloudlifter - Now picking up radio frequency?

    Hi friends :) I bought a cloudlifter to use with my EV RE20 and focusrite 3rd gen solo and now I'm hearing what seem to be very faint radio signals. Some basic googling says this might be an issue with my XLR cables? I currently use this kind of cable (Tourtek Pro TPM), do you think that is...

    New RE20 smell

    I bought one within the last year and I don't remember there being a smell

    Headphones for music listening?

    Not really a home recording question, but I figured you guys would have good recommendations. I'm looking for some discrete headphones (so not gigantic) with decent bass that I can bring to work. Can be over ear headphones or in-ear/airpod style. Bluetooth preferred but wired is fine, too. Would...

    Recommendations for digital interface instead of knobs?

    Thanks, I will try that! I will also look at the troubleshooting that Tomeh posted, but to be honest I'm just ready to upgrade overall I think. I've tried so many times to figure out the clicking and I've switch out everything else so I'm pretty confident its the interface. Between clicking...

    Recommendations for digital interface instead of knobs?

    I don't know why my gain knob is so sensitive, it's a big part of why I want a new interface. It seems like 95% of it is unusably low and then there is this very thin range of a few degrees on the wheel that is exactly what I need and any variation from that very limited tuning is too loud or...

    Recommendations for digital interface instead of knobs?

    Saving up for an AKG C-414 :) I think I'm pretty set on getting that one. It's not the most urgent of purchases since the EV RE20 is fine for now. I'll post samples when I finally scrape up enough. What do you mean the DAW should save the setting? I've never set gain in my DAW, always using the...

    Recommendations for digital interface instead of knobs?

    I have a Scarlett Focusrite Solo Gen 3 interface for voice over/voice acting work. Its fine, but I'm not really happy with it. It makes a weird clicking noise from time to time that I've tried everything to solve and the gain knob is really hard to work with. I'm doing a live streaming project...

    Why is turning my light OFF causing interference?

    Update: it ended up being an issue so I ran to Sam Ash and got a new cord which has fixed it, but I'm still super curious what was going on there?

    Why is turning my light OFF causing interference?

    I'm fully stumped on this one. I noticed my interface was making a clicking noise (not what you hear here, just a little blip noise) and my cord management isn't the best so I untangled all my cords and got them all straightened out and separated from each other. The clicking went away but this...
