Most of my straps are generic leather wide straps. I do have one from Native Sons that is the old Ace strap like the one that I had 50 years ago (still have it but it's not secure any more). It's much better than the Dunlop version that had crappy ends.

Playing the single note, I hear the ringing that is bugging you. It sounds to me more like what I hear when a string is fretting out. On the low E, it really stands out as a buzz, but as base frequency rises, it becomes harder to hear. Could it be the saddle... maybe. It doesn't sound...

I think I like the guitar solo off to the side more. To me, it conflicts with the voice and gets pretty congested around the 5 minute mark. You definitely fixed the wandering vocals.

My hobby is buying stuff that my kids will have to sell off when I'm laying in a nursing home watching Game Show Network! The Peluso stuff is interesting. It's a few people in central Virginia who build mics. I understand that he builds the capsules using machined parts he purchases from...

Back in the early days, Harvey Gerst was big on the V67G. I've had one for many years, and still pull it out on occasion. I think I paid $69. I remember when the SP C1 was the talk of the town. Everybody was singing it's praises, then suddenly it became yesterday's news. I think PMI/SP...

Yeah, capsules are impossible to clone. Only the fairy godmothers in Germany have the knowledge to assemble them perfectly. Just because you have a laser scanning machine that can map a part in 3D and a CNC machine that can mill metal parts to tenths of a micron doesn't mean you can...

I read the DIY microphone threads and the thing that always amazes me is that no matter what the manufacturer makes, someone always has a fix for whatever they think is wrong. It's the wrong value cap, a resistor needs to be changed, the capsule sucks and should be be replaced. It ALWAYS...

I see this a lot. You put "Best wireless mic for Android" or "Best podcast mic" into Google and you get lots of suggestions for $20 to $100 mics sold on Amazon and other online sites. There are a bunch of rave reviews from people who have never used professional gear telling how wonderful the...

They now make IDE SSDs. Both Transcend and KingSpec sell them. https://www.ebay.com/itm/357062279643?toolid=20006&customid=772c358520ed1f39f3685d2b69f0ab83%7C%7C&loc_physical_ms=88725

I remember when Warm Audio changed the shape of their WA87 with their R2 version so that it didn't look so similar to a U87. GoToToolz doesn't seem to be a bigger outfit than Warm. What about Stam or Peluso? The Stam 87i has the same shape as a U87ai, and they even use a similar logo...

What's your budget? Do you need the headphones integrated? Something like the Shure SM35 or WH20 with an XLR could work with a mixer like Dave recommended. I don't know if there is a dongle to adapt an XLR mic to a USB input. You really need something like a mixer or USB interface...

Most wireless systems today have only a 10 millisecond delay or less. A 10ms delay is roughly equal to standing 10 ft away. Which Blue podcast mic specifically are you using? What is the pickup pattern? To minimize the room noise, you need to be looking at a cardioid or supercardioid...

If you order a connector for the microphone, make sure you get the correct one. I see your wireless mic comes in two versions, 3.5mm and 6.5mm.

Just checking the specs on the Digital MPA II, it specifies up to 70dB gain and .005% THD. The Dual MP specifies 70dB gain (XLR to XLR) but 0.1% THD. Both claim -129dB EIN for the XLR inputs. So they are spec'd roughly the same. That doesn't explain the differences between the two...

I think it sounds pretty good. The only thing that I hear with headphones is that sometimes the vocal does a bit of an image movement slightly to the left and back to center where she's doubling the vocals. It's just certain phrases or notes. On speakers it's not apparent at all, but on...
