A microphone isn't the solution to your problem. I'm not sure why you're thinking that a microphone plugged into a phone would have any impact whatsoever on other people hearing you in the other rooms of a house. I think that the white noise generator is a good suggestion. It'll provide a...

I can't make sense of what you're asking for here. How would a microphone affect how other people in the house hear you? Can you clarify a bit?

It looks like SM81-LC is the manufacturer's number for that model, and it's colloquially known as just the SM81. That's my best guess based on what I see, at least.

I wouldn't say that it won't be as "good" as with a cloudlifter. It won't be as loud given the same preamp gain. And I've heard some people say that the cloudlifter can "open up" how a mic sounds. But if you're getting enough clean gain from your interface's preamp, you'll be good without one.

The cloudlifter provides extra gain by harnessing phantom power to use for amplification. You only need one if your preamps don't supply enough gain for your dynamic microphone. I found that the Midas preamps in the U-Phoria series provide enough gain for my purposes, although I haven't used a...

Several brands make detachable headset microphones that can be attached to any pair of headphones. Although now that I search for them, I'm only coming up with a couple. The most interesting to me is the Audio Technica ATGM2 detachable boom. Looks like you attach a base to the headphones with...

The UR series from Steinberg supports loopback inputs. It'll loop the playback from the outputs back into the inputs and you can record that signal in your DAW. The manual says it better than I can, so check out page 14 where it talks about the loopback function...

If he's using the default theme for Reaper 6, it hides a lot of the track controls in the track window by default. You can play around in the theme editor, or see if choosing one of the legacy themes does the trick. I had to change away from the version 6 default theme because I couldn't find...

I can personally vouch for the Lewitt LCT440 PURE. It's a great basic mic. All of the LCT series use the same capsule, the 440 is just stripped down to the bare essentials to keep costs down. But it sounds just as good as the higher priced mics in the line. I love mine. The fellas here...

I've used that exact signal chain quite a bit over the last several months, and I haven't experienced that same issue. Well, I'm using the new version of the KA6, but the features are pretty much the same. I rarely ever use direct monitoring, so it's almost always off. And whether I go...

Mirror trick, just like your left/right/rear absorbers. The ceiling is another first reflection point, just like the others.

Honestly, I think that either of those will be a marked improvement over the old Delta. Do note that you're talking about an 8-input interface versus a 4-input interface. I'm a total fanboy over the M4, it's a great sounding interface (and I've used almost all of them in this price range)...

Oh OK I see. So it's more of a remote rehearsal kind of scenario. OBS is more geared towards broadcasting out to an audience through YouTube or Facebook or Twitch. It's not really built for 2-way communication. I know that there are a few collaborative apps out there, but I honestly have no...

Yeah, that'll work out fine. It's been a while since I've live-streamed, so my memory is a little fuzzy on it. If you grab OBS and spend some time fiddling with its settings, you can set it up to stream the video from your webcam and the audio from your mic inputs. There are controls for...

Hell yeah, looking nice, man. This has been an impressive project. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Take a look at Kali Audio. They've got a great reputation in the budget market. I wouldn't get hung up on super low frequencies until you get a sub. Subs are problematic in their own way, but at least they can reach really low and take some of the work off of the mains' hands. I mainly use...

I think that this is a matter of choosing the right tools for the job. A mid-side setup is great for adding stereo ambiance to a voice or instrument, but it's not really good at pinpointing voices coming at it from different directions. Remember that at its core, the M/S mic is just a single...

I tried to make nice with the Reaper 6 theme and the new theme editor. I got tired of what mjb just mentioned, the missing controls in the track view unless the track is armed for recording and has focus. I kept Reaper 6, but I went back to my old theme that has all of the controls that I was...

I think those items sound like a good starting point. On an older machine, BIOS updates aren't quite as simple as they've been made recently. Like Dave says, make sure there is nearly zero chance of power interruptions as you update. Otherwise, it should be fine and just might heal some...

What did LatencyMon point out as the worst offending DPC latency component? That'll give you some insight into what device/driver might be causing the issue.
