The tough thing about routing audio from your DAW to something like OBS is that you're stuck using Windows WDM, which has pretty massive latency. You can try putting Voxengo recorder on your master bus like so: How to stream DAW audio with an audio interface | OBS Forums But that runs into...

In addition to better fans and an SSD, check either your computer's BIOS or the manufacturer's webpage for their app to set the fan curve profile. Most modern motherboards allow you to "draw" in your own speed/temp curve so you can specify how fast the fans spin at any given temperature. Or...

If those are the numbers that he came up with, I trust it. But I'm not sure if those are with the gain at 100% on both interfaces, or 0%, or somewhere inbetween. I'm actually surprised at those figures. My experience with the Xenyx preamps are on Behri's mixers, and while they're not...

Honestly the Behringer UM2 isn't a very good interface. You would definitely bump into its shortcomings. It uses Behringer's Xenyx preamp, which is a relatively noisy thing compared to their Midas preamps that the UM2's bigger brothers all use. It only has RCA outputs, so you lose the ability...

You could accomplish all of this with any of the 18x20 audio interfaces from the likes of Focusrite, PreSonus, Behringer, Arturia, Tascam, etc. The line outputs can be assigned from your DAW as hardware sends/returns for external FX or they can be used as outputs to monitors. You can control...

I do think that the differences between preamps is WAY overstated in home recording communities. We live in a time where even entry-level interfaces come with preamps that are quieter, cleaner, higher gain, higher headroom than anybody would have thought possible for the price 20 or 30 years...

I'd buy or build a couple of good-sized hinged gobos that you can deploy when you need and fold up when you don't. Something like this from GIK: PIB (Portable Isolation Booth) Vocal Booth and Instrument Booth - GiK Acoustics Personally I have a couple of these that I love: GIK Acoustics...

I missed that you already had a UMC202HD, so yeah you'd be in good shape if you get one of the little headphone amps, feed it with the headphone output from your interface, and plug a few sets of headphones into it. "Affordable and does the job" is pretty much the motto of ART and Behringer :D...

The NI Komplete Audio 6 mk2 has 2 integrated headphone outs, but they just monitor the same main stereo output. The SSL 2+ at least allows you to select whether headphone B direct monitors what's going to outputs 1/2 or outputs 3/4. Same with the Behringer UMC404HD. I just reviewed the 2+...

I pulled the trigger on one from Musician's Friend, just to see what happens. There was no stipulation about "while supplies last" like there was at Sweetwater, and my invoice shows the $199 price. So I guess I'll see what gets charged to my card when it eventually ships, and if it's anything...

Wow, I've never seen a sale like this on the MD421. Thanks for the heads-up! I really like these mics, but I've always thought that they were way overpriced for what they are. But for $200 it's a no-brainer! They're a workhorse mic around the studio that work well on all sorts of sources...

Except that isn't true for low frequency sounds. Read up on the Nyquist frequency to see why that is the case. Higher sample rates will only allow the accurate reproduction of higher frequencies, and a sample rate of 44.1 is a standard because it can reproduce frequencies up to the effective...

Even I have to admit that I'm put off by the notion of judging a DAW by online comments made by its users. I think that's a poor reason to dismiss a DAW, especially when it is the hands-down winner in the bang-for-buck category of today's market. Use what you want, especially if the workflow...

As far as I understand it, it's mainly incentive to drive up adoption rates of Win10. Apparently it's working...there are somewhere in the order of a billion installs of Win10 in the world! The penalties for not activating it are pretty light. It's mostly customization kinds of things that...

Sure, you can dual boot Win7 and Win10. You've got the right idea, just make a new partition on the same drive and use that location as the installation target. You can grab the Win10 installation media (Media Creation Tool) at Microsoft's website. If you've got a USB stick with at least 8GB...

When in doubt I just go with 1/4. It's easy enough to go "one one one one one one one one" :D

I agree, 4GB of RAM is pretty small for video work. But one thing that you can try is to create proxy media items for the video files that you're working with. Even with a beastly machine, I have to do that in order to work with 4K video. But I think that even for 1080p files you can create...

Oh man, I've been there too. It's amazing what emerges from an extremely sensitive large diaphragm condenser mic once you start compressing it in post. All sorts of mouth noises. I guess my only advice is that hydration isn't necessarily about chugging water. That doesn't hydrate you, it...

I last used it on Windows 7, on whichever build of the OS was current when I replaced the interface in about 2013. It's been in its original box ever since then. I hope that time (and a couple of house moves) have been kind to it!

Would you be interested in a free (+shipping) Delta 44? Mine has been out of a computer for nearly a decade now, but I *think* it still works. I don't have an old-school PCI slot to test it any more. But heck, I know you'd put it to good use :)
