OP just wants left to input 1 and right to input 2. Here's a visualisation.

No, the 1/4 ends don't need to be TRS. There's no advantage or benefit, for your use, and it's more opportunities for the manufacturer to wire it some way other than what you need. If you refer back to my pinout, it really is pretty simple. Your TRS, in our case stereo, end has three...

No need to be sorry. From your confirmation it sounds like the cable is just fine. You can prove that further later, if needed, but, for now, let's say it's fine. My guess is your recording input setup might not be correct. I'm not familiar with your recording device but it looks like you...

The cable you have really should be what you need. Try just plugging in just one of the 1/4" cables, with a very obvious stereo track like you describe. If Eddie, or Michael, disappears then you're getting left and right separately but just not panning them apart at the input device. If you...

+1. Assuming it's wired correctly, what you bought is what you need. "1/4 cable that is stereo on the 1/4 end and not dual mono" Not sure what you mean by that. The layout is as follows... 1/8" TRS - plugged into a stereo output. Tip - Left Ring - Right Shield - Ground. 2 X 1/4" TS - each...

The most common mods I'm aware of for this microphone adding mass to the body to dampen the ring, as you mentioned, removing the plastic rings on the capsule (non destructive), and replacing the grill material with something more open, or just a single layer of what was already there. I did all...

Of course, if you have something introducing substantial delay on the real time monitoring of what you're singing or performing that's not going to work, but with regard to the choice between manually moving things around the timeline to correct or disabling latency introducing plugins, those...

Good info to share! What DAW were you using, though? Most I'm aware of automatically compensate for this. ProTools, for example, has ADC - Automatic Delay Compensation, where if a plugin introduces X ms of latency it applies the same latency to all other tracks to keep playback sounding correct...

I'm pretty sure the last intel models were 2019 but, of course, just double check on anything you're buying. It's easy enough, since all the models are M-something with pro/max/ultra variants. Your workflow and demands will be different to mine but for normal home recording you wouldn't have a...

Fear or dislike of the unknown isn't uncommon. It's not especially helpful when there are other people around who do know but, still, I understand. Plug and play claims aren't strictly true if you have to use ASIO protocol to get control of your hardware. That's a minor detail and admittedly...

There's no luck involved. You find out if an interface is supported and decide to buy it based on that. If your suggestion is that there's broader support on windows then, yeah, you're probably right, although I'm struggling to think of a brand I care about that doesn't offer MacOS drivers...

If you're looking mac I'd fall somewhere in the middle of the previous suggestions. The switch to Apple Silicon (arm based) was a huge paradigm shift - Not your usual '10% faster' upgrade. I have the 2020 macbook air, base model - That's the first generation with the lowest spec CPU/GPU, and...

Reaper runs on damn near anything. That would be my recommendation too for cost, simplicity, how lightweight it is, community/support, and compatibility.

The fundamental fading out before other components is normal, and worth pointing out. There's enough to debate here without adding semantics but I'm glad we agree. Significant fret wear is definitely something to address. I detailed a couple of ways you might be able to confirm that or rule it...

It is normal - It's just happening too much. Play any open string and let it ring long enough. Eventually you'll hear the 5th ring through. It'll be subtle but it'll happen. It comes back to what I said way near the start - Either the instrument is just easier to agitate at these particular...
