    Got banned/restricted on distrokid for no reason

    Nowadays far too many people rely on essentially commissions for their income - like in the main the youtbe influencers and those on TikTok - BUT - they are not in control of their income stream at all. Add to this folk who receive royalties. Until the notification, you have no idea what your...

    Is this vocal AI-generated?

    You know that's not at all bad! Having spent time typing lyrics into how I can do it, that is a zillion times better than I can manage.

    Old gear - tenuous link to the forum, but maybe interesting? This is Betty.

    That 90 cues took TWO operators. 90 cues is going some for a show that totals about 100 mins, I think? Now I might have dozens of cues in one song, but in the pre-moving light days, it just wasn't like that when all they did was went up or down. In fact Jesus Christ Superstar also had an...

    Upgrade Audio Interface: New AI or Analog mixer?

    Just to 100% confirm what has just been said. Even a budget strapped hobbiest has access to amazingly good sound. It's what you do with it that matters. I listened to a singer and a guitar and the 'polish' was impressive. One voice, one guitar - but I really wish I could get that clarity. Right...

    Old gear - tenuous link to the forum, but maybe interesting? This is Betty.

    This amazing thing is NOT an organ - it is a lighting controller! I'll explain. In 1956, in England, Strand Electric, produced this control. It does look like a theatre or church organ. That is because Compton - the British firm who were sort of the fathers of 'modern' organs had a system the...

    Best Wireless Lavalier Microphone in 2025? Experts Guide

    Indeed - we thought similar, but it's a bit of an interesting subject. Dave - I think the whole wireless situation is just too different. None of the Chinese ones at the mo cover the legal channels we use here in the UK - our TV channel 38 and a few in the free-for-all ch 70. Other countries are...

    Me

    If you've never done forums they can be quite odd! For instance, here - some topics are very on target and deal with tiny details, but most also have areas where people chill a bit more. The only advice is to read as many posts in the areas you are interested in as you can and get a feel for the...

    Best Wireless Lavalier Microphone in 2025? Experts Guide

    I don't think there is a 'best'. Wireless systems are so use specific. The TV guys hate the live events and theatre preferences, the US and the UK have brand splits, outside of Shure/Sennheiser and the location sound people have their own unique kit that people like Sound Devices look ater. Not...

    Upgrade Audio Interface: New AI or Analog mixer?

    I've moved it out of the analogue forum - the folk there have quite different ways of looking at things, and as sweetbeats says, you haven't mentioned analogue.

    I just bought a reel to reel, after all these years of telling everyone how stupid they are if they do it!

    I'm at an exhibition - next to me is a reel to reel, splicing block, tape and single sided razor blades for people to try editing. They have had to take razor blades away because younger people have never seen them and cleaning up blood is not good - so supervision is now required. The students...

    Best Wireless Lavalier Microphone in 2025? Experts Guide

    After the dropout show which was a totally empty stage with one person, we attempted to replicate it. The person on stage held it right where the antenna is which didnt help, but full signal strength from two antennas. We couldn't make it happen again, which is worse than finding the problem...

    Best Wireless Lavalier Microphone in 2025? Experts Guide

    Well, as the owner of dozens of the damn things, the two you mention would not be on my 'best' list at all. The thing with radio systems is that the most expensive ones are nearly as good as a £10 microphone cable. I just invested in a digital Shure system for this summer that was mega money...

    Unusual wireless mic for a low singer?

    Thanks! - Yes that's it! It's the singers own mic they just have in their touring kit. I wonder who grafted the two together? the capsules are replaceable, so I guess you just modify the mic body? That's an expensive mic to saw the end off? Maybe earthworks offer it as an option? EDIT Yes they...

    Noob lessons learned

    They do say that after a nuclear explosion only two things will still be working. Cockroaches and ukuleles. Always good to produce your own rules based on experience.

    Unusual wireless mic for a low singer?

    Doing a Drifters show and the baritone has a different radio mic. I’ve never seen this mic before does anyone know what it is?

    lawsuit on gototoolz mics

    They seem guilty of selling a common shape microphone with a rectangular badge, but in quantity. Their other ‘crime’ is using numbers as part of the model, as in GTZ-87, or 103. They are not “passing off”, a UK term for making people think they are buying an original. Their website to my...

    What equipment do I need for therapy headphones!

    I deleted your other post as it was a duplicate of this one, and people would waste time probably saying the same thing. Reading the responses, it makes sense. Can I ask what you are doing because wireless, either RF or bluetooth seems a very problematic solution for all kinds of reasons...

    Chinese now doing Telefunken copies

    No. Impossible to even consider. The main problem would be that it doesn't offer any benefit for me to use. Value for money, I suppose. I’ve got a ridiculous mic collection. 90% never get used. I sell quite a few way below what I paid, but even if the mic was amazing, selling an expensive fake...
