    802VLZ4 introducing noise into signal chain

    Thanks for that mate. I've figured out it's actually the _cable_ running between the microphones and the mixer which is introducing the noise, I wiggled the cable about a bit and found out the noise gets a LOT louder the closer it gets to the CPU (I would've guessed the PSU to be honest but...

    802VLZ4 introducing noise into signal chain

    I've had a decent setup for close to a year now consisting of an SM7B, 286s and a 2i2 and this has worked really well for me. I've recently "upgraded" my setup and bought a 802VLZ4, 131s and a PRO-XL MDX2600. My signal chain looks like this: SM7B ↓ → (insert on 802VLZ4) 802VLZ4...

    Background Buzz through USB Microphone

    I have a very convoluted audio setup to run my microphone through some post-processing stuff but live, I initially used Virtual Audio Cable but the latency had to be above 50ms in Audition otherwise the audio would become extremely choppy. I instead decided to use WASAPI which works perfect at...

    Feedback on my microphone settings?

    So I want to aim for radio-style-but-still-audible settings using the equipment I have at this current moment in time. It sounds quite good to my ears but I need someone else to do an AB listening test for me due to everyone not being the same, obviously :) (one thing I forgot to note was that...

    Which microphone is right for me?

    About the reflexion filter: I actually found this: * SPECIAL OFFER * Focusrite Scarlett Studio Vocalist Recording Bundle | Absolute Music It comes with the vocal booth, the interface, monitoring headphones, all of which I don't have and also a microphone. Not sure if any of that equipment is good.

    Which microphone is right for me?

    Alright, thanks for all the tips. Once I have the money I will buy one of those Reflexion Filters and then record another sample. They're not that much so I should be able to get it soon. In the mean time I'll practise my chest voice. Thanks for the help :)

    Which microphone is right for me?

    Ah, right. Thanks for clearing that up. I'm in the UK, I'd like something that would work well with my voice and from what I've seen from YouTube videos, the SM7b won't, nor does my Blue Yeti from what I'm told. What would you recommend? I would like something American Radio Sounding but...

    Which microphone is right for me?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKZ5Lvrh4jE&feature=youtube_gdata_player I'm looking for a microphone for radio (the video post-production was before I managed to setup my compressors and such properly). I was looking at the SM7B and the Scarlett 2i2 interface (or 286s and go all analogue in to...

    Making my microphone sound professional?

    For anyone interested I actually found a few plugins on Claesson Edwards - Claesson Edwards and the WinAmp website that I now run my all my output through. First I run my output through a Phase Rotator which I found on the first website I mentioned above, then I run it through AudioProc which I...

    Fatal1ty

    Is the SoundBlaster Fatal1ty any good for recording audio and good quality (better than my onboard audio?) I'll also be playing games and listening to music so some of the features it offers would help, I guess. What would you recommend for me as a good sound card? I'm currently using onboard...

    DSP Plugins Virtual Audio Cable

    Thanks for the reply. Which DAW is right for me? I only need to add some DSP plugins to a USB microphone input

    DSP Plugins Virtual Audio Cable

    Unfortunately the video doesn't seem to explain how to use DSP plugins with VAC.

    DSP Plugins Virtual Audio Cable

    How would I go about using DSP plugins on a Virtual Audio Cable so I can use compression and phase rotation and other things in Skype and other applications that don't support DSP plugins? Thanks, Jordan.

    Has anyone had any experience with compressing a USB mic?

    Making my microphone sound professional?

    Since technically if you saw my setup I would sort of be classed as a "bedroom DJ", I have a little setup in my bedroom, with a server rack hosting my SHOUTcast server and a few other things and a computer primarily used for broadcasting, I don't think acoustic treatment would be a viable option...

    Making my microphone sound professional?

    It turns out I can use VSTs in my broadcasting software if there's any plugins that you guys can recommend, it's probably better if I get a new mic, anyway. Is there any way I can use VSTs "live"? It'd be pretty cool to compress my microphone while in a Skype call, like VAC for VSTs, but again...

    Making my microphone sound professional?

    Thanks for the extremely detailed response. Do you not think that a dynamic would sound better? I've been looking at some videos and it seems that condensers sound flat compared to dynamics.

    Making my microphone sound professional?

    Is using 1/4" instead of XLR going to degrade sound quality?
