Definitely don’t plug it in until you’re certain it’s totally dry inside. It would probably help to take it apart the best you can and keep it somewhere warm until it dries. If it does work after, it probably will have a warped diaphragm…but it might be a cool effect! If it doesn’t work, I...

I got my daughter a Focusrite solo studio pack for her 13th birthday. She loves it and is making all sorts of fun stuff! Now she wants monitors but only has $100…so she can’t get Neumann’s like her dad. I’m looking at a bunch of options with 3.5” drivers for her small desk, but I don’t know...

Thank you for the suggestion, the Behringer works perfectly! (see post above, I don’t know how to put multiple quotes in one post) And now I know the term “class compliant”. So much learning going on here! Thanks everyone!

A little follow up… We’re in business, thanks everyone! It works great. You just added 10 years to my life. AND A QUICK VOICE RECOGNITION TEST…

Thanks Dave, I really appreciate your time and effort! And I hope you enjoyed your son’s visit. France, that’s way too far!

Any luck with the Behringer and W7 laptop? I’m tempted to try a headset and it was a great suggestion, but I can see myself getting tired of wear it for 10-13 hours per day. I’m going to try the interface with an SM81 on a desktop gooseneck stand. I’m hopeful this not only eliminates my volume...

Great to know! I hope it will work with windows 7 too. The Audix connects directly to the pc via USB. The pc automatically recognizes it. My dictation software lets me select it as the audio source, but will not adjust the volume. The handheld dictaphone (came with the dictation software) still...

Happy New Year everyone! Looking into the UMC22, it states it needs the ASIO4All driver installed. Does anyone know if this is standard/preinstalled on Windows 7 & 10. I can’t find this information online. Thanks!

Yes, several docs use these computers for a week at a time. We each have separate login credentials, so it’s possible to have different settings, but I would have to get IT to make the changes on each computer I work at which could take months. But they still can’t install any nonnative software...

That’s a great option, thanks! I assumed all interfaces needed you to install drivers. I’ll take a look. I could use a nice XLR mic that might help with voice recognition. I was also looking at the sE Neom. Looks like it has mic gain right on the front. Supposedly plug n play w no need to...

Yeah, the audio goes directly into our dictation software. We edit in the software. The software is part of the problem. It integrates with its own hand held dictaphone and adjusts the volume automatically. But it won’t adjust the volume of any other microphone. I used the proprietary dictaphone...

They’re work (hospital) computers and we can’t change them or access them in any way for cyber security and privacy reasons. Some run Windows 7, other Windows 10. I could probably get IT to update windows drivers, but we can’t install other software. Cost isn’t an issue. I just need something...

Yeah, problem is, I don’t have access to the computer settings and can’t install any software (privacy/security reasons). And sometimes I dictate for 13 hours straight. I can only speak loudly for so long. I was hoping there was some internal pot I could crank up. Wishful thinking I know. A...

I bought an Audix USB12 to dictate at work…but the output is really low. The software I use doesn’t allow me access to manually increase the gain. Adjusting it in windows doesn’t affect how it’s heard in the software. I reached out to Audix and they had no solution for me. So, I’m basically...

Funny you should ask. That’s the thing that jumped out to me on this last one…on further listening, the saturation poked out way too much for some reason. Maybe I changed the plugin order, or added more at some other point in the chain with a compressor or something. I’m not sure what I did, but...

Ok, so I couldn’t help myself and added some bass. I also added some hip hop type kick with weird saturated delay. I tried to keep the intelligibility and vibe. Not sure if I succeeded, but here’s another round.

Awesome, thanks. I definitely added too much presence and dropped the guitar too low in an attempt to make the latter version more intelligible. I’ll see what I can do to tame this one and get a little of the feel of the original back without being too distracting with effects.

Here’s one with a little more vocal forward with less reverb/saturation. Any better? Edit: I just saw your last post. I think we were posting at the same time. I’m not sure what you meant about the 1-5k. I’m sure you stated it correctly, I’m just not a pro at this! Thanks!

Great advice. I’ll go back and try to clean things up. I rarely add Verb to vocals, but since this one is sparse I thought it needed some. I tried the Soundtoys Little Plate for the first time on these vocals. It’s a great sounding reverb. I only had it at about 30%, but I agree it’s a little...
