How is the single-ended circuit of this 'mod' being connected through an XLR cable which presumably has 48v phantom? I'm of the impression this mod is not intended to be used for a balanced connection (such as the mixer would have), but used with an XLR to 1/8"(3.5mm) cable to a computer or...

Evidently the BM800 is a popular mic to 'mod' as I found several Google hits on the subject. This is just one of the iterations I found which is a complete new circuit board.... Modify a Cheap LDC Condenser Microphone : 7 Steps (with Pictures) - Instructables This one modifies the frequency...

I have this which I use for Reaper occasionally...... Korg nanoKONTROL2 MIDI Control Surface - Black | Sweetwater and it works well. It's been a while since I used it, but I 'think' the knobs are assignable to be used for other functions which may include EQ and Pan. There are others that...

I vaguely recall tape deck (not a 688) I had from years ago that would initiate the head assembly to engage and move, but would return to park like as shown in the video. I seem to remember that although the takeup spindle was moving, something in the mechanism wasn't getting up to a proper...

The 688 is a pretty big machine and tearing into it to fix/replace parts and then reassemble could be a substantial amount of bench time for a tech. I'd guess about $80-90/hr might be about the charged rate (I didn't find it on their site. Did they mention it in the repair quote or just a flat...

A wild ass guess........ Any chance the caps are Nichicon branded? They evidently grade some of their caps for 'sound quality'. "TYPE-1: The low profile high tone quality grade of the new development electrolyte adoption. TYPE-2: The center grade that the best sound is provided electrode foil...

The JBL LSR series are good sounding monitors. I have a pair of the LSR305's for monitoring after trying a couple others that had a well known brand name. The JBL's used to go on sale occasionally and was when I got mine. I also have the FetHead that I use for an SM7b, RE20, and a couple other...

If you decide to still get an inline mic booster the Triton FetHead is also worth considering and a bit more budget friendly than the Cloudlifter. I use a FetHead with an SM7b, RE20, and a couple other low output dynamic mics as well a cheap MXL ribbon mic. It works well and gives a clean quiet...

What do you have for monitors and what are the connections to the monitors, XLR, 1/4"(6.35mm), RCA, or 1/8"(3.5mm). Assuming the PC connection is the 1/8" 'Line Out'(?) If the monitors have RCA connections, you can go stupidly cheap with a simple audio/video switchbox to select what gets...

I just did a test recording with my Behringer X1204USB into Audacity. Used a Behringer B1 mic. On the mixer I preset the channel level at '0' as well as the Main Out at '0'. In the Windows7 audio/sound record properties for the the USB MIC CODEC I set the level to 100 (max). Brought up the gain...

The ND767A mic has a pretty hot output compared to other dynamic mics and I'm surprised you would need a booster going into the 2i2, but if you were using a 1/4" cable for the connection that could account for less signal getting into the interface.

Good point, although if he sticks with Audacity the ASIO isn't usable, but certainly of value with a different DAW. Also has inserts and additional outputs :thumbs up:.

Try moving close to the mic and straight on rather than at 45 degrees for when you need to whisper. When whispering maybe the mouth noises may not be as apparent(?) Closer may also make the whispering more intimate as if close to someones ear. Are you using a pop filter?

As suggested a USB interface that provides phantom power would be the best way to record. Perhaps since the Nuosiya power supply is a recent purchase you could possibly return it to help fund an interface. If it was from Amazon, they're usually good about returns. If you want to use the laptop...

I have an old Akai 1800SD (Reel to Reel + 8 trk cartridge) I bought back in the late 60's, a 4000DS bought at a yard sale, and an M9 I got for free. The 1800SD works and functions fine except the 8 trk part is abit messed up. The 4000SD runs well also. The M9 I had to replace the caps that start...

I've exported tracks from my Tascam 2488NEO via the USB connection to my PC and then loaded the tracks into Reaper to edit or mix. I believe the DP-24SD can also do it via USB, as well as off loading tracks from the SD card with a reader either built into or hooked to a computer. If you do opt...

Hey Mike, Is the 8i6 you have a 3rd Gen with the two headphone jacks out? If it is, wondering if it would be worth a try to use the second headphone out as a feed to the monitors with a TRS to TS breakout cable. I'm thinking the headphone circuit would have enough push to get good volume(?) This...

Staying with the CAD/Equitek line, the CAD M179's I have are a pretty decent mic for around $200.

The TRS input of the of the JBL's is balanced, but will accept a TS cable which will create an unbalanced connection. I had used a TS to TS cable for a long time with my JBL's and a few months ago switched to TRS to TRS (the source has balanced outs). No noticeable difference in noise (not...

It seems that Mackies manual even states that if using TRS cables the 'ring' needs to be tied to the 'sleeve', which essentially makes the cable a TS cable to fudge the unbalanced connection for the BK :facepalm: And yes Dave I fully realize a block diagram is not a schematic, but if the input...
