Sorry I missed this before. Deity will be releasing an aes capable recorder soon-ish. It’s the PR4. Otherwise I’d probably get a tascam fr2 or zoom f3 for 2 channel.

ok, this is head case :), what do you mean by inexpensive? I found it almost impossible to motivate myself to ride a purely mechanical trailer. Just got bored. I would get any trainer that would connect to zwift, and would read https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2020/11/trainer-recommendations-winter.html to get an idea about what the options are.

I do a lot of live concert recording at 96/32 or 192/32, and so I do playback at that, but as you say, the primary advantage is hi res sources are likely better mastered. 48/16 has plenty of dynamic range and resolution for most recordings.

Took the new bike out for a first ride today. My new shoes (five ten) need to have the release adjusted, because when I stopped, I fell over because my left foot wouldn't let go. I need to adjust the front brake, it's grabbing intermittently. It could use some minor fit adjustments, but over all, I'm pretty happy with the fit, I got the right size. The big issue is I haven't ridden enough to make a difference since I met my wife in late 2020, so I'm in AWFUL shape. I was gassed after less than a mile. Kayaking isn't a particularly aerobic exercise. I'm gonna set up my indoor setup with my old bike and see if I can get slightly less out of shape before trying anything not mostly flat outside again.

they're "green beige" and "green grey"

I meant the wh1000s sorry.

Whatever the current Sony wf1000 series headphones is these days.

colnago c50 with super record 11 and shamal ultra wheels. It’s officially the riders fault when I can’t go up hill or fast.

Zwift supports motorcycles?

A recording engineer friend of mine (drivin' n cryin' is one of the bands he records) swears by the Cascade Fethead ribbons

My only ribbon experience is kinda theoretical at this point. I bought a nohype stereo ribbon but haven’t found the right place to use it yet.

Fritz!

Warren Haynes Christmas Jam 2025

I think most sound cards are ok. I haven’t researched much because I trust apogee and my main concern is capture, and I have the best in the world for that

You’ll get way better results for the price to just record the turntable output directly (post phono stage) receiver tape outs, rca splitters, etc to get a copy of the audio signal, then into whatever sound card or adc you’re using. that behringer mic is terrible, and is really just a known quantity for spectrum analysis.

Other people play music and I record it for the kind of recording I do this is in the running for the most d-_-b way to do it outside mics are dpa 4015 sub cardioids mics at a 90 degree angle to get room “space” next in are schoeps mk41v HyperCards at a 110 degree spacing to catch clarity and make up for being a little farther back than is ideal the football is a schoeps surround setup called double midside. It has a front and rear facing mic and then a 3d mic to add sides i can blend them or isolate any of them depending on how things turn out Sonosax recorder and preamp are basically the best battery powered options on the market, 12 channels of 192/32

This is the microphone setup I’ll be running at Christmas jam tomorrow

A Jecklin disk is useful where you can't control your placement and are using a stereo pair of omni mics. If you just spread them a foot farther apart, you don't need the disk. My setup is an apogee element, and a parasound phono stage with xlr outs. I've used quite a few podcasting mics, most of them are fine. The nice thing about the SM7B ($250-300 used) is it sounds good while rejecting almost any noise RIGHT at the microphone. It needs a lot of gain to not sound anemic. The SM58 is the classic vocal mic. Runs about $50-100 used. Built like a tank, sounds pretty good (it's the standard vocal mic for a reason), doesn't require a lot to work well. It's not that a dummy head is inherently bad, it just takes a lot of everything to make it work right. Schoeps and Neumann both made dummy head microphones that were remarkable, but even they were hard to get good results from. Mostly useful for binaural listening, which honestly, most people don't like once the gimmick of it wears off.

Mics good enough to be worth it aren’t worth it if you don’t already have them.

The sm7b is a fine choice for a podcasting mic with some form of cloud lifter or a preamp that can add 60+db cleanly. An sm58 is probably also good enough and doesn’t require the extra gain. recording speakers with a shitty diy head mic instead of just running the turntable into an adc like you’re doing a needle drop will make for an experience that is painful to listen to.

This post just made me break out in hives
