What condenser microphone are you using? Switching to a dynamic will generally make it even "duller"...

Just some thoughts... 1. Take your time to experiment beforehand and in different circumstances. It isn't as simple as most tut's make it out to be. Try all streaming providers you can test (for free). 2. Test upload speed at the location you'll be using it from. It could work at home and fail...

I use a DIY USB breakout cable. You probably have a spare USB cable lying around. Strip a bit of the insulation to expose the four wires. Figure out the +5V and 0V lines. Usually, red and black. Cut the red wire and hook the side of the Focusrite up to an external 5V PSU. Connect the black...

I think Rob sums it up quite nicely. Every true condenser has a bump at the higher frequencies. You can't tel from looking at the graph if it's nasty or nice. Even Neumann's have that bump. Dynamics tend to be flatter. But they tend to roll off highs. And they tend to sound very different if...

For that analog video out, check the source. It might only play from certain sources, as it might be blocked by DRM...

Behringer has had a free DAW for a long time. They also bundle Tracktion with some of their products... Or is that free DAW evolved into Tracktion? Don't remember.

Hardware is mostly the same quality with most brands... Where FR shines, is drivers and support. When you call them, you are actually talking to a FR employee and one that knows what he's talking about. Most of the others either don't have phone support, or it sucks. In between is Behringer...

That's Oliver Archut's design. Sadly, he passed away in 2014: Vintage Audio Technology for the Modern Studio I don't think he ever worked for Neumann, but his designs are very high rated by those who own one of his compressors, eq or preamps. I believe some of the gear is sold under the AMI...

Some lappies are good, others are bad. There's less problems with pip power than with USB mics. Pip just has to provide far less than 1 mA @ 5VDC for the electret capsule. USB gives 2.5 W power for the mic and the AD/DA. Yes, there's usually a DA in it too, even if it isn't used. Part of that...

A behringer U-Phoria UMC202HD is 60 €. A Superlux E205 is 38 € Both are far better than most USB mics. Note that these are just examples. There's plenty of others in that price range when it comes to mics. A behringer B5 is currently 50 €, but that's a blowout. Interfaces aren't as plenty, I'm...

Cheers, mate! Looks like what's sold over here under the "Fame" brand. And probably a couple of other brands too. Very useful. You'll be happy with it! And, yeah, we all have learning moments. Like addressing the front :D

Elmo is quite well known in professional boardroom audio. They make the "Throwie", a mic that's used as spot mic for speech. You can literally throw it around, as it cushioned into a cube. Obviously, it"s a wireless mic. They're good quality mics, but depending on the model, can be tailored to...

Thanks, Mark. I wasn't really awake apparently when I posted that. So the bass boost should come from the Behringer. Strange. It's been a while since I handled one and that one seemed to have the opposite. A lot of hiss and more high end at max. gain.

As a consumer, you'd expect to own what you buy. Apparently, what you buy from Apple's media store isn't your property and Apple can delete it if you store it in Apple's cloud: Apple can delete purchased movies from your library without telling you | The Outline Another reason why you should...

I'd also suspect the impedance mismatch caused by the Fethead to add to the bass boost. Doesn't the Behringer Xenyx 2222 have enough gain for the SM7b?

IMHO you shouldn't move a mic while recording, like, ever...

The mixer could be a good option. Butttt... I'm pretty certain it would be hard to find a decent mixer for the price of a Behringer UMC202HD (€59) and the OP is on a tight budget.

If you really want to educate podcasters, tell them not to buy USB mics in the first place. Tell them to get an affordable 2 channel audio interface. That will allow them to compare two mics to see if they adapt well to their voice. If they then get something like a Neewer 700 and a Behringer...

Europe. The WP case was in The Netherlands, over 20 years ago. It was the first I can remember and it has been followed by many since. It's not black and white, either. If a manufacturer specifies that use of their software isn't safe with certain machines, it is legal and will limit the...

Not over here. From the Wordperfect corp. one, many years ago, to recent ones that were refused because the user "signed" them by opening the box containing the agreement. Plenty of examples. That's also why it is not very smart to have illogical statements in a EULA. Illegal ones render the...
