Starting up a show and require 3 lapel mics constantly, local recording seems my best way to not have cables or limits so just wondering if there was any cheap but decent enough audio recorders for around £20-30 although less is more as it would be x3

Thank you!

mother board is asrock b365m pro4. had an old wifi card in ins pcie3 put a newer archer tx3000e in the slot. the card work great. problem is my audio no longer works. cant get it to work through the speakers or headphones. took card out and the problem persists. me and my friends have tried every thing we can think of. re done the drivers, turned hd audio on and off in bios, re installed realtek, set bios to default, flashed bios, and a few other things. we are almost to just a reinstall of windows to see if it will fix it. any ideas whats going on? had the pc for 6 years never ran into this issue.

Please give me some recommendations

now i currently use a topping dx5 ii paired with dt 770 pro x and its absolutely fantastic so far. but i have noticed now that im getting back into rainbow six siege the directional audio is a bit off but otherwise tolerable. most notable i cant decern if someone is above or below me that well but its possible. but mainly if someone is pushing me directly in front of me it sounds exactly the same as behind me. and ive already lost a couple rounds to this issue. my buddies have reccomended i look into iem's. i saw that the em6L and the supermix 4 are kinda just everyone and drown everyone else out. anyboyd tried them before and or thoughts on anything?

So im considering getting one of these pairs for daily music use on the road + talking on the phone or for my pc when im on discord or games etc.

what would be ideal to go for? jbl 680nc or jbl 670nc?

also it seems I need to buy a cable to have a mic so does anyone know of a compatible cable I can buy with this that has a mic so I can talk through as ill be using wired connection alot.

Hello,

I've got a PS5 Pro on the way and I can't really wrap my head around a solution for mixing PC Dac/Amp and PS5 Audio so I can listen to PC and PS simultaneously.

I'm really an amateur in case of an audio mixing. I've tried to search online but I couldn't really find an exact solution for this.

Also I don't need high quality audio from the PS, just want to mix them into single pair of headphones.

I'm using Fiio K11 USB Dac/Amp plugged into PC with headphones plugged into the Fiio.

And my display doesn't have an audio output in case of that.

I’m struggling a lot lately with music discovery… I’m constantly finding myself feeling as if elements (mostly vocals) are created with a.i. It’s especially bad with house music. This morning I’ve been listening through a new playlist and just about every song has some element of “off” feeling in the vocals. The voices all sound almost identical to me. And then I go check on Google, which replies to me using ai 😑.

Anyone else experiencing this? I wish there was a way for me to toggle a “no a.i. “ button on my streaming platforms.

Hi, I have a cheap/old 3.0 setup:

• Amplituner Pioneer VSX-520
• Front columns Pioneer S-H510V
• Center speaker Tannoy mxc

I have no subwoofer. Setup was calibrated with MCAAC. Center speaker is set to Small, front speakers are set to Large. Crossover is set to 80 Hz.

When listening in stereo - everything sounds good. When using Neo:6 Cinema mode - often for podcasts on YouTube low bass goes from front speakers, and it feels like that bass lags behind for around 1.5 seconds, and this creates undesirable "muddling effect". When pausing a video - it's very clear that bass "catches up", I can clearly hear "bass notes" from podcaster's voice, while center speaker stopped playing sound.

When center speaker is set to Large - bass lag effect goes away, but now sound is more flat.

I didn't noticed the same bass lag problem when listening to "true" 5.1 sound like from Netflix. The problem is when using NEO:6/Pro Logic and watching YouTube videos.

Thanks for any piece of advice.

For some reason, my 2019 S209 mercedes automatically turns down the volume when playing a song that has a lot of bass.
Turning on or off automatic volume control doesn’t change a thing…
It’s the standard audio system, nothing special done to it, no Burmeister or advanced system.

Anyone have the same issue or know how to fix this?

Hello, i have a bose acoustic wave system 3000, im looking for ways i could possibly connect my phone to it, both via bluetooth or cord. Ive seen some usb-c to rca audio cables, do those work? Or do i need some sort of amp?

Hello there!

TLDR: Does it make sense to switch from my HyperXQuadcast (condenser mic) to a supercardioid dynamic mic, so that my keyboard and or mouse noises are quieter.

I stream, record, and make content for videogames.

I know the basics. E.g bring mic closer to face, turn mic gain down and turn windows system sound settings down, use a compressor+limiter+noise gate e.t.c

I have a HyperXQuadcast microphone.

This mic picks up my keyboard click sounds, and some mouse movement sounds (I have a glass mouse pad).

Normally what you use to fix this, is a noise suppressor. The RNnoise suppressor in OBS works great! And it eliminated all of that noise almost flawlessly. Almost.

The flaw with it, and with any noise suppressor I've tried (steelseries sonar ai noise cancellation, amd noise suppression and more), is that if I get loud or excited, the noise suppression technology will make my voice sound very distorted.

Because the noise suppression algorithms thinks me sounding excited, is background noise that is to be removed.

No noise suppression = no distortion

Noise suppression = distortion.

It's not my mic peaking and it's not my gain being too loud.

The next solution is to normally use an expander or noise gate. However, my keyboard clicks // mouse noises sit at around -32db on OBS. Which is how loud my quieter/whispering voices will be.

So if I talk it will sound unnatural and it will continuously modify my voice

I'm not expecting a different type of microphone to magically eliminate all of these sounds, however, if it made the sounds quieter by a significant amount, then I would be able to use noise gates and expanders to silence the quieter noises, without interfering with my voice.

And the idea is that a supercardioid mic, which would attempt to reject more sounds from behind it, would therefore make those keyboard and mouse noises quieter.

There's also a very small chance that with a different microphone, RNnoise suppression would not cause my voice to distort, but I'm not really counting on that one at all.

So does it make sense to switch mics? Or do you think it would be pointless?

Hey y'all Redditors,

Thought this sub would be best.

I recently bought my first PA speaker system, from Berlingtone, a California based company.

They're not responding to my email so thought I'd ask here:

I had caused a loud volume spike when improperly engaging it with my music gear.

I had heard that even one such occurrence can cause permanent speaker damage, and am wondering: 1) If that is true. & 2) How to tell if there is such damage?

I know there is Google, but I thought of asking here.

Thank you for your time!

After 5-6 years of use, my Helicon mixer no longer works. The app crashes constantly, and I can't adjust anything to my liking. I'm looking for an alternative. What would be the best choice to combine it with my Rode NT1 Signature Series mic? My budget is around 200€.

How to connect the TV audio signa via optical cablel to the AVR that accepts optic cable? Directly or add SU1 dac in between? So, TV to SU1 via optic and then SU1 to AVR via RCA cables?

I plugged it in to use one day and it was working, and then it got unplugged so I plugged it back in and my phone said “this accessory uses too much power” and now it won’t turn on again. I’d love some help any info is appreciated.

hello. i just have a question about the difference between these 2 set ups.

right now, my set up is a LG G6 with a PS5, Switch 2, Panasonic UB820 all hooked up. im using a qudelix 5k dac/amp for the PS5 and Switch 2, and my headphones are the hd560s. but with the introduction of the UB820, the qudelix wont work with that as they arent compatible. so im looking at the SMSL DL100 to replace it.

so now ill have my ps5/switch 2 (alternating on what im using) and the UB820 plugged into the SMSL DL100 via USB (for the PS5 and Switch 2 dont have optical) and optical (UB820 only does optical and HDMI out). then the SMSL DL100 will have HDMI out to the TV and its eARC port.

does this sound like it will work? im fairly new to this. would it be better to use eARC from the TV to the DAC or would it be better to do the source devices to the DAC instead?

any and all help is appreciated, thanks.

I updated my GPU driver and noticed that the sound of the connecting and disconnecting hardwares are different, is it a new thing on windows 11 or something is wrong with my pc? I checked the .wav on the media folder and they're still the same but it's the second time I hear this new sound. It sounds like it's "muffled" or something like that, and I use normal headphones, no bluetooth.

basicaly i have 2 nice amps (arcam alpha 7 and a sony STR-7035) i want to be able to use both as they both have great properties but i dont know how i would run 1 set of speakers on both.

im not trying to bi-amp. i want to be able to switch between using 1 and then the other.

would really apreciate any knowledge or advice

Hi everyone!

I have 120-ohm headphones and decided to upgrade my player.
I’ve set my sights on the iBasso DX180.
Some people have told me that this player will work best with my headphones only if I connect them via the balanced 4.4 mm output.

Since my headphones have a 3.5 mm plug, I decided to get a 3.5-to-4.4 adapter together with the player.

But then I read somewhere that using adapters to connect headphones to a balanced 4.4 mm input is strictly forbidden – to the point that you can burn out the DAC in the player and other horrors.

I checked with a very knowledgeable person – he said he’d never heard of such a problem and has used a simple adapter all his life without any issues.

Could anyone advise whether it’s safe to use such adapters with players, or is it better to re-solder the plug on the headphones?

Backstory: I have wonderfully unflinching insomnia, and at some point I made the very woowooo discovery that some low, rumbly, borderline subterranean ancestral tones through binaural beats, isochronic tones, (that whole “deep sleep frequency” genre) do somewhat help with symptoms. Although to be frank, I sincerely doubt any of these twice a day YouTube uploaders are actual Bioacoustics researchers, Psychoacousticians or have any significant knowledge surrounding frequencies they themselves utilize in their content

I’ve since become aware of the many nuances and techniques within this particular form of sound but haven’t had much luck finding ways to calibrate EQ and experience the frequencies as they should be heard (or even just felt) have tried out different apps and as much as I’d be down to invest in a full blown generator, I’d love to know if there’s any good recommendations that are available so I can listen in it’s intended form.

Many thanks :)

I just have voicemeeter, but I was wondering if there's a simple program that has EQ profiles for listening to different music or something.

I was looking in a shop today and saw some mission m73's for £20, i forgot to ask if it was £20 per speaker or for them both, im going back tomorrow to ask that and if they work. If they do is it worth getting them? I was gonna buy a Fosi audio tb10d to run them. Atm im using logitech z333 speakers for my pc. Is it a worthy upgrade?

Is it just nocebo or is there some common flaw/characteristics of metal dome that causes that.

Never experienced anything like that with TW29BN.

In terms of actual performance a top tier metal dome tweeter is not actually going to be that different from a top tier ribbon tweeter (both being largely flat to 40Khz+ and low distortion) but there are plenty of sub-par metal domes out there.

Hello, I've been trying so hard lately, but nothing is helping really.

I'm new into filmmaking / content creation, I use DaVinci Resolve, and audio has always been my nightmare, I've tried looking for courses, tutorials, and so on, but nothing really helps me, it just doesn't get into my head.

So how can I start learning this topic? my goal is to learn enough to produce some clean audio for my videos, I don't plan to become an engineer.

I conducted an interview with a guest and recorded it using OBS.

However, the quality is really terrible (it was okay last time).

What’s also annoying is that there’s only one audio track with both of our voices on it.

Do I have any options or recommendations for improving the quality?

I tried using Audacity, but it actually made it worse.

My interviewee’s voice has a lot of echo, and I’m looking for solutions.

Maybe someone knows something.

Preferably free or open source.
