no cap?!

The link doesn't work... but yeah that's what I mentioned earlier. Keep us posted and maybe once you finish your production, share a sample?

Care to share a couple? lol

That may well be; I'm sure China will be looking to diversify their markets a bit and with luck I'll get a good cheap microphone sometime soon!

We're a tiny fraction of the market and import fees are generally higher in Canada than in the US for example. Items under $200 do not incur taxes or duties in the US, while the Canadian GST/HST tax adds 5%-14% across the board.

Canadians be jealous

I know Fiverr gets mixed reviews but I remember seeing an ensemble on that platform which produced some very impressive samples (for context, I'm an award-winning string player) and offered a lot of customization. Also, I assume you've done your research budget-wise?

The seller that sells the BF-105i has quite a catalog, including an Austrian Audio handheld clone which I am interested in. Also the prices seem a bit more within a range that projects a Behringer vibe -- good quality but budget-friendly.

I'm intrigued by handheld condensers, and would be interested in seeing a revival -- correct me if I'm wrong but they were used more frequently in the past, right? How was handling noise on the BaiFeiLi?

For the C414 I see they offer a 25mm diaphragm (as is the real thing) -- but also a 34mm diaphragm? What's up with that? Also I find it funny that their "store name" is "SEENINSEER Audio Store" lmao

I've had that video open in a browser tab since it came out (I watch everything that he puts online) but have not gotten to listen yet. Crazy how he still has that youthful energy / approach to artistry now that he's 30 -- ok that's not "old" but I don't know anyone else who aged quite like that.

+1 for HandBrake

Some also say that big companies charge too much for actual worth. OK so the ripoffs are too cheap, but I'm sure there's a balance somewhere -- and Neumann isn't being fair in their own way.

You could use a clipper to get rid of spikes from clicks and pops, although I'd recommend using REAPER over Audacity if you want to go down that road.

MP3 at 320kbps is sufficient and convenient. Kudos, by the way. Some folks are reluctant to share for some reason (in my experience anyway).

Lucky for the Chinese, Neumann and whoever writes copyright law don't have gain on their brain.

I want one (but I'm in Canada).

@rob aylestone so you tested the "fake" against your own "real thing" but how much variation is there between authentic TLM-103s? Reason I ask is that in other types of gear -- I'm mainly thinking outboard -- there is significant enough variation for, say, Universal Audio to find it worthwhile...

I've been desperate about this when I started recording my voice. I tried a lot of different techniques and none really seemed to help until I read somewhere that coating one's mouth in oil (olive, avocado) works... I gave it a try; it's not what I'd call pleasant but it got rid of 80-90% of the...

This made me think about Billy Joel, who reportedly has an intense dislike for songwriting. The man is a songwriting GENIUS. No AI is going to write "Still Rock 'n' Roll To Me"! You can only make high art through a struggle. When someone says that "AI can help in [their pick] department" and...
