Thanks, that helps a lot. It's a Marantz M4U. It seems to work pretty well, though I think I'll eventually buy the Shure one you recommended. But will likely get a proper sound card first. (using the USB interface that came with the Marantz for now)

Not sure if this is the right section as it's not in the field, but does this look like a good microphone position for when I'm recording/streaming? Is the pop filter setup correctly? Should I be using the foam cover or is that only for outside/wind? I have my old phone setup as my camera and the pixel 6 does an excellent job. Mostly just wanted the arm to hold the microphone and my phone and to allow me to lower my monitor (the phone used to be setup below it attached to the stand), but it came with some accessories. Came with a shock mount as well but that seems to be for a different (larger diameter) microphone.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Belated Birthday man!

How are you liking it? I stopped sometime in season one as I got distracted by life, but should rewatch and get caught up. Where are they at in the story line season 3? Have they moved on further from the book at this point?

Streaming tonight from 8pm-12am Eastern time if anyone wants to swing by. Lots of new stuff to show off Twitch.tv/philodox42

Haha, there are always budget options. I usually go for end gmae stuff, but bills and all that. Thanks for the link, I'll have a look later tonight.

Anyone know anything about indoor trainers for the winter? Looking for an inexpensive one to use during the icy parts of winter. Lmk how you like it. Any idea how much it runs for?

The animated shows are amazing. Vox Machina was fun (still ongoing, they're about to fight Raishan), but I think I liked the Mighty Nein even better, so we'll done. I've watched the campaigns as well. Haven't started on the 3rd one yet though, just the first 2.

Happy Birthday Renato! Hope you got spoiled!

Just caught up on the Might Nein animated show and am now watching Fallout

Streaming a day early this week https://www.twitch.tv/philodox42

Happy Belated Birthday Buddy!

I'm up! https://www.twitch.tv/philodox42

wow... intense! and awesome, looks like some fun kit Grawk *goes back to boring out a skull*

I'm dieing, lol

Oh yeah, I figured I'd need a new mic(s) Any idea in that cheapo external soundcard I linked or the Soundblaster? Anything else I should look at? Hoping to loop in the midi inputs on our keyboard eventually as well, though I can do that on the Behringer I think.

That's awesome! You play music and record it using that?

Makes a lot of sense. Binaural isn't my goal, but I'd like to faithfully reproduce/record the vinyl playback if it's feasible for less than $1k...probably not from the sound of things. I'd be running the streaming microphone off of the Behringer, so I don't think 70db of gain should be a problem. Not sure what to use for digital audio yet (I need optical in and out to loop in the Behringer), looking at the Soundblaster GC7 or maybe this as I think it will work... https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/external-sound-cards/237279/vantec-usb-external-7-1-channel-audio-adapter-nba-200u-nba-200u.html

https://www.twitch.tv/philodox42 day early today, up until 9:30

Nice... Side question, this any good?

Congrats! Enjoy retirement. Still a Legend. ❤️

What about using a Jecklin Disc? Might be better for the speakers, or you still think this is the wrong approach?

Thank you so much. How would you do the idea in that case? Try to take outputs and feed via cables? I'd be using the Behringer for mic, so not sure which Shure is best, thoughts? Also not sure why the dummy head would be SO bad, but I'll trust your judgement there.
