You can solder your own or purchase insert cables. The main thing is you'll be using them differently than a typical insert cable. The cable itself is a Y cable using a TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) connector on one end and two TS (Tip-Sleeve) on the other. The tip is return and ring is send on the...

Please be aware that the UMC1820 Adat doesn't work in stand alone mode. This means that one cannot simply be plugged into another and be expected to work. The easiest way and also cheaper is to use one UMC1820 and add a ADA8200. Two interfaces will be difficult to get working on a PC. On a...

What, not even some bare bone Millennia HV preamps? This test sucks already. :LOL: On a serious note, not sure what a comparison of stage vocal mics will tell us on unknown voices. Crowd seems into it so why not.

I always carry cash but limit its use for places like small mom and pop type businesses or tipping at restaurants. Here is where it is appreciated most. Big box stores and such, debit or credit depending on what and where. Credit cards are paid off every month. My business on the other...

For some maybe, but I am a lost soul when it comes to time. It is fundamentally why I ended up as a recording/live sound engineer vs a musician. It is also why I eventually ended up working with Folk artists. If ever there were a group that viewed time as a loose guideline, well, these are my...

In some of my previous posts I enclosed a couple of interface comparisons that showed the Presonus AudioBox as having a super high noise floor. It was bad to the point where some suspected the unit must have been faulty. To your point about input impedance, the Presonus was the lowest of the...

I've always had issues with following just a click. Drums & bass, I'm a lot better. Even better for certain things is a metronome that includes a visual indicator. I've got a lot of things going on that my ears are paying attention to, and my eyes are not really being used for much. I...

This is a far more rational argument vs POS. It just seemed like you were telling all the people who liked chocolate that it is terrible and that any other flavor is preferable. This is the subjective part to some extent. The other thing I learned when selling HiFi is that people have all...

"Hive Mind" is an interesting description. More so "POS" for a microphone that was introduced in 1966 and that has probably outsold any similar mic by huge ratios. So, I get that you don't like it. So not trying to convince you otherwise, just pointing out a common selection bias. As a...

Nugen makes a plugin called AB Assist. It will randomly AB two mixes.

One thing that may affect this test is what kind of account and device you listen on with Spotify.

What do they call a drummer that broke up with his girlfriend? Homeless.

The 2010 has the same 16mm capsule as the side address 2020. Frequency response is hyped in the 2010 starting about 2k around +5db vs the 2020 that rises subtlety +1-2db starting at 5k. If you like the 2020, you might like a brighter 2010 but it'll be more mid forward. How's the 2020 on...

And another preamp noise comparison chart with the AudioBox on the bottom by a significant amount.

In a couple of reviews I found that did testing, it doesn't appear to be an impressive unit. That figure might be high depending as the testing was done with a SM7B. This device doesn't particularly like being pushed. Here is a graph showing the low frequency distortion from a different...

Here is the video. I also found another reviewer that had issues with noise until it warmed up then tested fine. Not sure it is related. Both disliked the low output of the headphone section. It's an online review, grain of salt and all that. Motu M2 Review

This is where the old guy tells stories from "back in the day". We were recording a three-night concert series with a group that did lush vocal harmonies. One of the singer's was just getting over a cold and her unusually deep voice was, let's say, extra burly. We had a few days for set up...

I saw the video, I'm not that curious. I have a couple, the Beyer and Presonus. Not feeling any sort of itch on that one.

What's that old expression, it's not the destination but the journey? Hard to watch this guy and not learn a few tricks. Don't have to agree with the outcome. A few weeks back he did a long back and fourth with another engineer on loudness vs dynamics. With my background, I'm a big dynamics...

I kind of figured but the main point is that safety and fitness for purpose all depends on the person doing the work.
