I see this a lot. You put "Best wireless mic for Android" or "Best podcast mic" into Google and you get lots of suggestions for $20 to $100 mics sold on Amazon and other online sites. There are a bunch of rave reviews from people who have never used professional gear telling how wonderful the...

They now make IDE SSDs. Both Transcend and KingSpec sell them. https://www.ebay.com/itm/357062279643?toolid=20006&customid=772c358520ed1f39f3685d2b69f0ab83%7C%7C&loc_physical_ms=88725

I remember when Warm Audio changed the shape of their WA87 with their R2 version so that it didn't look so similar to a U87. GoToToolz doesn't seem to be a bigger outfit than Warm. What about Stam or Peluso? The Stam 87i has the same shape as a U87ai, and they even use a similar logo...

What's your budget? Do you need the headphones integrated? Something like the Shure SM35 or WH20 with an XLR could work with a mixer like Dave recommended. I don't know if there is a dongle to adapt an XLR mic to a USB input. You really need something like a mixer or USB interface...

Most wireless systems today have only a 10 millisecond delay or less. A 10ms delay is roughly equal to standing 10 ft away. Which Blue podcast mic specifically are you using? What is the pickup pattern? To minimize the room noise, you need to be looking at a cardioid or supercardioid...

If you order a connector for the microphone, make sure you get the correct one. I see your wireless mic comes in two versions, 3.5mm and 6.5mm.

Just checking the specs on the Digital MPA II, it specifies up to 70dB gain and .005% THD. The Dual MP specifies 70dB gain (XLR to XLR) but 0.1% THD. Both claim -129dB EIN for the XLR inputs. So they are spec'd roughly the same. That doesn't explain the differences between the two...

I think it sounds pretty good. The only thing that I hear with headphones is that sometimes the vocal does a bit of an image movement slightly to the left and back to center where she's doubling the vocals. It's just certain phrases or notes. On speakers it's not apparent at all, but on...

As usual, I really enjoy your work. Very nice!

My first comment is that all of the ART preamps had 60cycle hum which got progressively worse as you went through the selections. All the the preamps start out with noise levels between -110 and -120dB. So I looked at the last 8 seconds of each preamp. That's where the total system noise...

Do you think AAA will bring you a belt for a Chevy 350 small block with a Roots blower? I don't know what DAW you are using, but I would suggest it would be worth your time to take a track, dump it to your DAW from your cassette, and then use the stretch function to see if you can tell any...

I noticed that the mandolin is very much strong and centered, so on a whim, I split the track and inverted one side. It's an old "remove the vocal" trick that was supposed to take out a vocal that is centered, and leave the stereo instruments. I then played with panning and levels to see...

I was thinking the same thing. Put a transient marker at the beginning and and, grab all 4 tracks and stretch or squish them all at the same time to match up the DAW versions.

Honestly, it would most likely make no difference for Youtube videos if I just used Reaper's stretch function to make the R-24 audio to mate up with the video's audio track. It's not like any of these are commercial recordings. It would make things a lot easier. At the last event, I...

If you get any drift, how do you fix any sync problems? Remember early in this thread, I got 0.7 seconds drift over a 6 minute song transferring from a cassette. That's a LOT, and very noticeable. Do you simply put a marker at the beginning and end and then stretch the file in the DAW so...

The annual Street Rod Nationals are held locally. It's a sight to see! There are thousands of old cars, and occasionally you see a truck with a trailer behind a cool rod just in case. However, most of them drive in and around town without issue. Once in a while you'll see one on the side...

I've never tried a wireless, but on my pedal board I switched from a plug in power supply to a battery powered one. It lowered the noise. Is it possible that the cable you were using isn't well shielded? I have several different cables downstairs ranging from a cheap no name to Mogami...

I would think the Recording Techniques might be the right place. Comparing different equipment would be one of the things that you might employ when deciding how to do a recording, whether it be selecting a preamp, microphone, or mic technique. For people that visit the forum regularly...

So you're dumping the cassette tracks to the DAW and trying to line up the tracks. Don't you still get speed drift? I've done that when transferring old tapes to digital and there was always a bit of speed variation so that after 4-5 minutes there was a detectable difference. Going...

It's funny you mention Behringer. I think that in a lot of cases, they are spot on. I was talking with a fellow about the Behringer "Centaur" episode recently, and we agreed that it was marketing genius. All that lawsuit did was generate free publicity. He also said that comparing the...
