gods i love wired headphones. love having headphones with a headphone jack (and thus a replaceable cable) and no other way of playing music. love 10 foot long audio cables. love dedicated usb DACs. love headphones that are designed primarily for long-term listening comfort and don't need to have extra bulk in hinges or padding to make them more sturdy or flexible to accommodate being shoved in a bag when you're done with your commute. love high-quality audio with no perceptible delay and no fucking battery life and no extra mass from a bluetooth module and microprocessor and flashable ROM and a battery and charging circuit and onboard DAC and amp driving the speaker(s) weighing my head down.

#sincerely #wired headphones #my beloved #analog audio #i love you #open back headphones #you help sustain my will to continue living #i've got a microphone that has a built-in DAC and amp that can inject microphone audio at a configurable volume and it's delightful #it's a USB mic that can also operate over XLR with a dedicated audio interface #i love it so much #plus it sounds amazing as a mic #anyway. gosh i just love wired peripherals #sure; most of my stuff *also* can operate wirelessly or i have a wireless alternative for sake of convenience in certain situations.#but wired is king (female gender)#side note: i think it fucks severely to describe a woman as being king. not queen. not monarch. fucking *king*#realized that when i read a fanfic where it was referenced that athena was once king of the gods and i was like “oh; damn. that fucks.”#oh; right. i'll make an exception for my mouse. *that* i typically prefer wireless.#but it had *better* operate over 2.4 GHz with a dedicated dongle #mine has a 2.4 GHz dongle and *also* a bluetooth mode and it's lovely. convenience *and* competence as desired.#ily my wireless mouse <3 #works well with my NiMH rechargeables; too. not all aa/aaa devices play nicely with the 1.2V battery chemistry; but they work well here 😁#my keyboard; also. has both wired connectivity (and charging) over usb c; and multiple bluetooth profiles. it's great #(i would be over the moon if it *also* had a 2.4 GHz dongle; but for a keyboard “wired” and “bluetooth” are the two i would prioritize)#oh; yeah. it's a 60% keyboard; too. and it has per-key RGB. gods i love this keyboard. it fucks hard. so glad i got it

#the audio interface doesn't even have a like. usb plug in. just a like. 1/4th one for a microphone ksajlfdlks #would be pretty entertaining to try out if i had the type of microphone it needed. i wouldn't expect much from it #like i know it wouldn't have an xlr port on it but it would have been hilarious if it did. would have maybe got it to fuck around with #it's called the vivitar audio mixer #the capture card is by the same brand

Choosing the Right USB Microphone for Podcasting: A Comprehensive Guide

Podcasting has become a powerful and accessible medium for sharing ideas, stories, and information with the world. One crucial element that can significantly impact the quality of your podcast is the microphone you use. In this article, we will explore the importance of usb microphone for podcasting and provide you with valuable insights on selecting the best one to enhance your podcasting experience.

Why USB Microphones?

USB microphones have gained immense popularity among podcasters for several compelling reasons:

Ease of Use: USB microphones are incredibly user-friendly. You can plug them directly into your computer, and most of them are plug-and-play, meaning you can start recording without the need for additional equipment.

Affordability: USB microphones come in a wide range of price points, making them accessible to podcasters on various budgets. You can find quality options without breaking the bank.

Portability: They are compact and easy to transport, which is ideal for podcasters who want to record on the go.

Sound Quality: Many USB microphones offer excellent audio quality, making them suitable for podcasting, voiceovers, and more.

Key Considerations for Choosing a USB Microphone

Budget: Determine how much you are willing to invest in your USB microphone. There are options available for every budget, but be mindful that investing a bit more can result in better sound quality.

Microphone Type: USB microphones come in various types, such as condenser, dynamic, and shotgun. For podcasting, condenser microphones are generally the preferred choice due to their sensitivity and accuracy in capturing voice.

Cardioid or Polar Pattern: A cardioid pattern focuses on capturing sound primarily from the front while minimizing background noise. This is ideal for podcasting as it isolates your voice from potential distractions.

Sample Rate and Bit Depth: Look for a USB microphone with a sample rate of 44.1kHz or 48kHz and a bit depth of 16-bit or 24-bit. Higher bit depths offer better audio quality.

Accessories: Consider what accessories are included with the microphone. Some USB microphones come with a stand, pop filter, or shock mount, which can save you money and enhance your recording setup.

Headphone Jack: A USB microphone with a headphone jack for real-time monitoring can be very helpful, allowing you to listen to your voice as you record.

Compatibility: Ensure the microphone is compatible with your operating system (Windows, Mac, or Linux) and recording software. Most USB microphones are cross-platform, but it's a good practice to double-check.

Setting Up Your USB Microphone

Once you've chosen your USB microphone, here are some tips for setting it up effectively:

Select a Quiet Environment: Find a quiet space to record your podcast to minimize background noise.

Position the Microphone: Place the microphone on a stable surface or attach it to a boom arm. Position it close to your mouth, around 6-8 inches away, and slightly off-center to reduce plosives.

Adjust Gain Levels: Use the microphone's gain control or your recording software to set the appropriate input levels. Aim for levels that don't peak into the red, ensuring clear and distortion-free audio.

Use Headphones: Plug your headphones into the microphone's headphone jack to monitor your voice in real-time.

Selecting the right USB microphone for podcasting is a crucial decision that can significantly impact the quality of your content. By considering your budget, microphone type, accessories, and desired features, you can make an informed choice that will help you produce professional-sounding podcasts. Whether you're just starting out or looking to upgrade your setup, investing in a quality USB microphone is a step in the right direction toward podcasting success.

Whenever I see an up-and-coming Youtuber I notice they often make the same mistake. When the time comes to increase production quality, the absolute first thing you should do is invest in improving your sound. Not the camera or the lens or lighting or set design. Audio quality trumps all of that. People being able to understand what you are communicating should always be the highest priority.

And the cool part is you can do this with a cheap lav mic. There are some that can just plug right into your phone. The next priority is learning how to set levels and make sure your voice isn't distorting from being too loud. You can even record a little quiet and bump up the levels later on. But if you record too loud to begin with, you can't fix that.

After that you can "treat" your room. Which just involves controlling echo and reverb. Foam acoustic panels are expensive and not necessary. You can do the same thing by just filling your room with stuff. Furniture, books, blankets, pillows. You want to eliminate large flat surfaces. If the sound has to bounce around on 20 different surfaces before it comes back to your microphone, it will have much less energy.

You can also figure out which wall is the biggest echo offender and hang a couple of heavy blankets in front of it. If you can score those moving blankets on the cheap, those work great. And if you can put a gap in between the blankets that will further reduce echo/reverb. You don't have to cover the entire wall, just the main area in front of where you are speaking. If you can reduce that very first reflection, the sound will have much less energy to bounce off other surfaces.

All that said, sometimes people will go overboard with sound and buy that giant phallic SM7B dynamic microphone. I see those things everywhere. Yes, Michael Jackson used it and it does sound great. But with so many quality USB mics that plug straight into your computer, it is a huge hassle and really overkill unless you just enjoy audio tech and want a cool toy. The SM7B requires extra equipment to make it sound good. It's XLR so you need a special interface. And most people add a "cloudlifter" because it isn't very sensitive and can be really quiet without it. Plus, dynamic mics need to be super close to your mouth and I think covering half your face with a giant mic isn't the best visual. There are lav mics in a wide spectrum of price ranges that can be hidden and sound great. Or you can do a shotgun mic like they use in movies. It can be hidden offscreen and pick up your voice from a distance.

Big dynamic mics are great for people with baritone voices. If you are James Earl Jones and you want to show off your voice, the SM7B or something similar makes more sense. Beyond that, most of your viewers just want clarity. Good room treatment and a $30 lav mic can achieve that pretty well. And if you watch a few tutorials on how to EQ and process audio, you can do a lot to make a cheaper microphone sound great. Reaper is a wonderful audio program with professional features and a reasonable price.

TLDR... fix your sound first!

dnp hardware information i'm collecting from this stream

they seem to have bought an elgato that allows them to stream from their DSLR rather than their webcam which is why it looks so much nicer

seems to have been a different DSLR than their youtube one, because they switched to their youtube camera a little way in

dan mentioned a stream deck which would allow them to map shortcuts to buttons but they haven't used it visibly so he may have just called the elgato a streamdeck (same company)

they have a boom arm and a nice microphone! i didn't immediately recognize it but it looks like an XLR mic rather than USB which means the audio quality is nicer

they send their audio through a goXLR which means they do use a nicer XLR mic now, and can mix channels as they record

they only have one battery for their camera lol

thinkin about microphones

obviously if you have different computers or different uses for audio recording you can end up using multiple of these. pick whichever one you feel like you use the most often.

bonus question tell us about the microphone you use

how to improve audio for videos!

I'm making this post so others can get better vocal audio in their video projects. It is EZ!

STEP 1 - Record your audio

Whether it's from a live stream or prerecorded, just create the audio. I suggest using a Hyperx Quadcast or anything that can capture 16-bit or higher. I suggest the Hyperx Quadcast because of its simplicity. The mic is USB, so it just plugs right into your computer and it's ready to go. This is way easier than getting a mic with an XLR which requires an audio interface that can double the cables and price for almost the same result!

You must have a pop filter! Without one, your audio can suffer from plosives- sounds like P (puh) and B (buh) carry a lot of bass frequencies and will mess with the volume/peaks of the recording. Some microphones don't need this, like an iPhone or a laptop microphone. Either way, I highly suggest a pop filter!

When you record, make sure the mic's gain control is low. Having high gain on your mic can lead to your audio sounding like this (yes that is exactly what it sounds like). High gain can lead to clipping and just terrible results.

After that, just find a program to record your audio. I use FL Studio. You can use any DAW or audio recording program (I think Audacity can record too!).

STEP 2 - Editing the audio

Some pretty simple steps here, just trust the process. I suggest any DAW, but I'll be using Audacity.

In Audacity, go to the top and find "effects" and place these effects in this order

Compressor

Threshold: -13.0

Ratio: 10.0:1

Attack: 0

Release: 1

Gain: 13.0db (optional if you have a different compressor)

2. Filter Curve EQ

just select the low roll off for speech preset lol

(Manage > Factory Preset > Low Rolloff for Speech)

3. Truncate Silence (Not for live stream audio)

Threshold: -20

Duration: 0.5

Truncate to: 0.7

OPTIONAL: Noise Reduction

If you're recording off a poor mic, chances are you'll have a loud background noise. Just use this effect to remove the room noise. Essentially a noise gate but for post-edit!

What this does -

The compressor makes all the quiet and loud parts of your audio the same volume, making any recording more intelligible. The EQ is for removing unwanted- or useless frequencies. In this case, the rolloff on the bass eq will remove any potential plosives and generally tighten up the audio. If you have a poor microphone this may require some more specific EQing (high end hiss, specific frequencies needing to be removed). The truncate silence will remove unnecessary length between each sentence and make your flow way more fluid. Do not do that for live stream audio, it will unsync your audio with the visuals.

If done correctly, this is the result!

go make videos suckars
