I don't like them because mics shouldn't change their basic characteristics. So I expect my e835 to sound like an e835 instead of an sm7 because the highs got attenuated with a badly design mic pre. I don't always track in the same place with the same equipment and its annoying at times. Problem...

The whole thing about it is that they made it wrong on purpose. Because in a lot of cases its only 1-3 different parts that have the wrong value causing the input impedance to be that high.

A lot of times, things are paid endorsements. Also, a lot of these interfaces use a bad grounding scheme. That is why they are prone to ground loops. The trackmaster pro was another terrible mic preamp that they made that had issues with some mics. Dbx 286s is another crappy mic pre/channel...

Oh I have for several devices, and they paid me to do it before. Its not my fault they didn't put a dynamic mic transformer in the SM7b. Instead, they came out with some sort of other version. Because they didn't want to reveal their mistake. Just like focusrite scarlette. They are never going...

I find it quite successful into flushing out gear supporters who is going to defend their bad electronic engineering from their sponsor.

Which really makes no difference since Neve consoles as well as other like SSL have the same signal headroom. Ever noticed these boards have programmable clip light via a cal knob?

I reject your opinion on this post because you are probably sponsored by cloudlifter or any of those $5 mic adapters they sell for $100. Any mic pre that needs that one goes on the list.

Not really trolling. I think its time to set up the list of items that people over the years have had issues But maybe I need to add posting the reason for incompatibility discovered. This will help people in the future on things known to cause issues or devices to avoid entirely. I seen too...

But this is more of the master tool maker critiquing other tools people made. Which is a whole different thing.

I am only listing what people are having issues with. H6 was put on the list for not being compatible with all microphones and someone complained about it online. Same with those particular focusrite units.

To have failed to be compatible with the device that is connected to it. Like if the mic pre doesn't accept all mics, then it goes on the list. If you have to put another device on it to make it work (like a cloudlifter) then it goes on the list as well. for example. If someone is complaining...

Practice does not define correctness. Rather, just a settlement of actions and solutions in an application. But since you don't know, any impedance mismatch is going to effect the overall gain formula in the stage and input noise figure.

I've been waiting to post this for a long time, as this was going to be inevitable. I knew something like this would happen eventually with the mass corporate built stuff. As over the years the audio designer is not the same type of people. These corporate people originally hired Electronics...

Its the server you are connecting to and its probably because a lot of people are doing the same thing.

The stair-step model is more of a theoretical model, as the actual model would be points and points of threshold that characterizes a bit level value.

If the receiver has a good isolated supply, a standard 1/4 unbalanced t-s to RCA should work fine. If you have a hum, then you either have to use signal transformers or capacitors to isolate the ground loop.

Was there? not really, but mics that are 600 ohms and higher are usually condenser mics. Which a lot of the newer interfaces are engineering their mic pre on purpose that way. Putting a resistance across or in series before the mic pre might help, but its not the correct way of changing the...

There are a few boadcast mixers that are ok. But you minus well buy a Neve or an SSL because its in that price range. I guess the Sandies/Dynamax would probably be the only one below $300K and that one works really good for recording. The only problem with them is It would take a tech guy to...

Well one of the problems that should be addressed is that they are using a bad signal chain topology for A to D recording. Because if you go into the instrumentation sector of electronics (where the audio ADC came from) the standard build for analog always have a signal limiter before the...

What you are experiencing is reaper in real monitoring mode. Theoretically the Daw monitoring button is suppose to switch the monitor button on the interface, and the raw signals before the daw computer are sent to the headphones. This behavior is configurable in a monitoring menu. The way they...
