In a couple of reviews I found that did testing, it doesn't appear to be an impressive unit. That figure might be high depending as the testing was done with a SM7B. This device doesn't particularly like being pushed.
Here is a graph showing the low frequency distortion from a different...
Here is the video. I also found another reviewer that had issues with noise until it warmed up then tested fine. Not sure it is related. Both disliked the low output of the headphone section. It's an online review, grain of salt and all that.

This is where the old guy tells stories from "back in the day".
We were recording a three-night concert series with a group that did lush vocal harmonies. One of the singer's was just getting over a cold and her unusually deep voice was, let's say, extra burly. We had a few days for set up...
What's that old expression, it's not the destination but the journey? Hard to watch this guy and not learn a few tricks. Don't have to agree with the outcome. A few weeks back he did a long back and fourth with another engineer on loudness vs dynamics. With my background, I'm a big dynamics...
You might just like this guy's channel. Been following for a while and he is thorough with the technical side of things. Very, very different from the old school days.
I suppose it is a matter of what you want to extend. If the workflow dictates it, perhaps extend a monitor with wireless keyboard and mouse into the closet. Add a headphone extension cable and you'd have pretty much everything. This way, you can operate the DAW while doing voice work, leaving...
Illustrates that everyone is different in both habits and goals. I for one, don't leave my instruments laying around, never mind plugged in. Hard enough keeping them humidified in the cases and the plugged in cable just invites trip hazards and damage to valuable instruments.
Also to goals...
Lets skip the mixer for the moment. You say you play several instruments. I presume not all at once. Depending on which model, the audiobox has two inputs that are combination of mic and instrument. The audiobox Go has one xlr and one instrument input.
Starting with the looper. It's all...
A little lost on what you refer to as "mains". I am speaking about the IEC C14 connector the OP linked to. This is a common power connector used here in data facilities but is uncommon for in AV racks. I run into them when installing signage servers in IDF's. Not a power strip you'd find in...
The two key words. We all know things typically just work.... Until they don't. Keep the faith.
Not any sort of expert on EU power but as no one mentioned it. Replacing a plug means adding a failure point. Wires terminated via captive screw can be subject to poor termination adding...
Troubleshooting 101 is a process of eliminating causes.
Start by setting up the Rodecaster as stand alone with nothing but the power supply and a microphone connected. If you still have noise, swap the mic cable. Still have noise, it's either the Rodecaster or outside electrical noise...
Not usually one to agree on tech opinions from our laser endowed Arab royalty but in the world of recording, affordable is very relative. Pointless? I shipped recording rigs all over the world and South America and Eastern Europe had some pretty sketch power. We used similar units back in the...
It's been forever since I've had to do something like this and not being a Reaper user, I had to dig a bit. I found this video which gives you an alternative method of recording in Windows anyway. Only a dumb guess on my part in figuring out what you are trying to do.
Record Streaming Audio...
Typically most would just import the backing track into the DAW. The exceptions, I would imagine would be if the track were from a streaming service like Spotify or a Karaoke stream where you'd have the lyrics on screen while the track played.
So, let's say you don't have the backing track as...
The crux of what I am saying is to do vs "I think". Best we can do is point out potential short comings. After years of running software from CAD to DAW's, I've got a fair bit of muscle memory for command keys and I'll state upfront that it is part of my bias. No matter which way you go...
