Hi guys! I’ve only watched one video on youtube about how to do this. If you have another video to recommend on how to do this or you yourself know, I’m hoping you can share it!

So in this case, I’ll be recording a video of myself with my iphone and using a usb mic. Do I have to plug the usb mic in the laptop or the iphone cuz from what I know not all things you plug in an iphone works. If i plug it on the laptop then how do i put the voice recording and video together?

Currently looking for a set of good quality computer speakers. I need them to plug into the back of my pc with a regular 3.5 audio jack and I also need them to have an input for a subwoofer, as I already have one I'd like to use. Any help is appreciated. I was checking out the JBL 2.0 104BT set but didn't see an option for me to plug a sub into them, so now I'm here asking for some help.

I have used musicbrainz picard to calculate replaygain for me and have it tagged to my flac files.

i am using navidrome's subsonic server, upmpdcli and mpd to cast the music from my phone to my smsl su-8 dac. In mpd i have enabled replaygain

The difference between Taylor Swift and a solo flute is unfortunatelly huge. So what Am i doing wrong?

Hey everyone I bought like a 30$ cheap microphone for my Ps5 and it works I guess but keeps making noises on its own, was wondering if there is a way to fix that since you cant just download any drivers on a console? If it helps its a Trust Mantis or something like that

Hey y'all,

Bought a Shure SM57 for recording my acoustic sessions and want to connect it to my PC. Didn't realise that there were so many weird connectors in the audio world, I'm just used to PC. The mic arrived today and I've now realised I can't use it. I have the mic, my PC and a Roland BR-80 but no idea what cables to get to connect the mic to the PC to ensure decent sound quality (the Roland doesn't have to be included, just felt it worth mentioning in case it helps.) Hopefully someone here knows of a solution. Thanks y'all (:

I have a trs to xIr cable going from back of focusrite to krk speakers. Problem is the speakers randomly start playing a glitchy cutting out noise. I believe this to be the uso cable though from my pc to the focusrite. I am not using the original cable. However I am using a high quality anker cable plugged into a usb 3.0 port. When I unplug the focusrite and plug it back in again the interference stops making the audio sound glitchy and cutting out for around 5-10 mins and comes back again and I have to unplug and replug in? Could the problems be because I am often unplugging this and swapping it to my MacBook aswell as unplugging from back of focusrite interface to dj decks. I have all the software installed on my pc. Any help appreciated

I’m in a band and would prefer to be able to tweak my guitar tone on my own computer independent of the computer we are all recording/playing through. It would go like this:

Guitar -> AI input -> laptop (neural dsp) -> AI monitor output -> AI input (different interface) -> laptop (different laptop) -> record.

I tried this and it sounded horrible so not sure if it should work or not

Hi

Is it possible to have audio interference when an 13amp sso + usb c and a conference mic are place next to each other? The mic will be embedded in the table and the sso + usb c is table mounted.

If yes, how much spacing needed between the mic and the sso to avoid potential distruption in audio quality?

The mic will be using cat5e cable connected to a switch fyi

I want to put a decent but not over the board audio system in a GMT400 single cab I wanted to use a Rockville Kryptonite M3 amp and a 8” skar sub built into a center console with 2 6.5” apocalypse full range’s for the door speakers my question is I recently saw a video on Rockville for the M3 explaining how to set the crossover but I saw it was only a 2 channel and he was running 2 range speakers and 2 subs so I was wondering could I put 2 speakers on one input for the amp? Or how could I wire it?

Does anyone have budget desktop speakers recommendations please? Ideally looking for sub ~£50 but understand there's not many great options at this price so willing to go up a bit if it's better value for money. Will need to fit under my monitors so relatively small. Got a headset for gaming so not too fussed about the quality being amazing - just good enough for watching Youtube etc.

Have come across the Creative Pebble (£30) and Edifier R1280TS (£90) as options. Any thoughts on these and if the extra £60 is worth it for what I'm looking for? Cheers.

Hey yall! Need some help here! I have a 2016 1500 Sierra SLE (double cab) and I have been having audio problems. Whether it's the radio, Bluetooth, or a phone call it cuts out really badly after the volume gets too high. I thought it was my speakers, so I got a set of kickers off Crutchfield and replaced them. Problem is still happening. I have a feeling it's my stock factory amp, however that also means I would have to replace my 8" touch screen display as well. Thoughts or fixes?

Hello dear community,

recently, I encountered a rather frustrating issue during a very amature like film shoot and I'm hoping you can assist me. I was working as a soundman, using a Sound Devices 302 mixer, while the camera in use was a Sony Alpha 7 III. The connection was made via XLR to 3.5 mm jack.

Unfortunately, during the shoot, I noticed significant noise on the soundtrack. I made some adjustments to try to solve the problem, but without success. Here are the details of my settings:

• Microphone input via XLR
• Phantom power of 48 volts activated
• Microphone on Channel 2, Pan Switch on C
• High Pass Filter set to 80 Hz
• Limiter Switch set to "Link"
• Output: Single XLR to 3.5 mm jack into the camera

This was my first shoot with this mixer, and I had little to no knowledge of the camera (Sony Alpha 7 III).

I usualy work in post production and was just helping out a friend in need so please don´t be too harsh on my competence. Am I missing anything obvious?

Can anyone advise me on what I might have done wrong or suggest further steps I could take to eliminate the noise? I would greatly appreciate any assistance!

Thank you in advance!

Hello all,

I'm opening a dance studio in September and... I'm completely lost.

I've tried to look around, ended asking some quotes and got such different recommandations (and prices ! Between 1 500€ and 20 000€ in hardware alone !) that I don't know who to trust... Except Redditors !

Here's the deal : I'm opening a dance studio and need a good sound system. There will be 3 rooms : one that is 35sqm, one 40sqm and one 100sqm. Each one should be able to play its own music controlled from within the room or the same music in the whole building controlled from a central point. The biggest room should be able to be split in 2 zones volume wise (i.e. only play music on one end of the room or the other).

What would you recommend ? Budget is of course a concern, like for all new businesses I'd imagine...

Thanks a lot !

Since the Amazon Echo Dot is currently going through some issues keeping Spotify playing nonstop, I thought it would be best to switch to another brand.

I like leaving music on for my dog to listen to while I’m out.

Got any suggestions on a smart speaker that plays Spotify remotely?

Guessing there should be categories based on price

i.e. <$1000 <$500 <$100 <$50 <$20

Thanks in advance :))

Hello. I recently just purchased the ROKIT 7 studio monitors.

I have the Fiio K7 DAC/AMP. Ive been using my headphones with them for the last month.

What i didnt realize when purchasing the rokit 7 was that they would give 2 separate cables and not some kind of Y cable.

Now on the Fiio K7, on the front where i would normally plug in the headphones, there is only 1 Jack. Its a 6.35mm jack.

Would it be fine to find a 2x female to 1x male adaptor and essentially combine the speakers so that i can plug them into my Fiio K7? Any noticeable audio issues? Or would i be better off getting something like a focusrite.

Essentially my question is what is the best cause of action i should take from here on out.

I have been trying to replace my old Kenwood KR-2600 for my PC audio setup for a while as the kenwood is just taking up too much space on my desk. The problem I am having is I want to use both headphones and speakers at the same time or with a single button press. I would also like an EQ/Balance control but thats not a huge deal. The speakers I am powering are some old Tannoy bookshelf speakers and the headphones are Phillips shp-9600s

Budget: ~$400 but the cheaper the better.
Size: Something small enough to mount under a desk. I am also fine with using a separate speaker amp and headphone amp if they are both small.

I am not necessarily looking for audiophile levels of quality.

Something like the Schitt Ragnarok 2 would probably work but its outside my budget and a little larger than I really want.

Thanks for any help.

I did try a SMSL AD18 but having to go into menus to select headphones killed it for me.

Hello all,

Im looking for some outdoor speakers for my decking area. These two models are available on amazon:

Yamaha NSAW392

Yamaha NSAW592

I like the smaller size of the NSAW392 but would i be missing any audio benefits from the larger size (NSAW592) assuming it has larger speakers.

Has anyone got experience with these speakers, i'm looking to pair them with a Fosi BT20A Pro and upgrade to the 48V PSU if nessesary, or is the 32V enough?

Thanks, i'm an audio newbie so any advice appreciated.

Hi folks,

I am new here.

Does .flac > .ogg > .mp3?

If a headphone is HiRes (but not LDAC) does it support .flac files wired?

Finally is there a difference between .ogg and .mp3 ?

Thanks

i really like to listen to bass heavy edm music but have no idea what these mean and whats good, please help me on if i should get headphone 1 or 2 thanks

I've just received a pair of these JBL 305p mkii speakers and I have come to realise the bass is alot more than expected at higher volumes and because I live in a flat it's not ideal, I have it connected to my TV via optical to RCA converter simply for now but what can I do about lowering the bass as the sound stage I really like from these speakers I just don't know much about this stuff to know what to do to reduce the bass? Any suggestions

Hi, I’m a bit of an audio noob & would really appreciate any help that can be given.

I am about to purchase the DT 900 Pro X for gaming as I have heard they’re great.

I’ve been doing a lot of research & apparently a DAC/AMP is not needed for these particular headphones & just using your motherboard jack is good enough.

My question is, I have a Shure MV7 Microphone which has an audio jack in the back of it; will the quality of the headphones be worse if I plug it into the Shure? Im unsure of what drivers it uses if plugged into the microphone. Do I plug it directly into the motherboard? Or do I purchase a DAC/AMP? I also have the Scarlett Solo which I have my microphone plugged into, I could plug the 900 Pro X’s into that, although I’m aware thats just an audio interface so I think that will no difference.

Any help is highly appreciated!

IDK if this matters, but this'll be fed from a 3.5mm jack to the inputs of an Amp, and not from an Amp to speakers (as that' d waste a lot of power!?)

Hello all, got a quick query about how I could downsize my setup.

So I have currently a Soundcraft Spirit ES mixer and an Akai EIE Pro interface. I have a about 6 things plugged into the ES at any one point, then just connect up the main out to the Akai.

All works fine and dandy, but it really takes up too much space and space is pretty limited!

I'd like to sell the above combo for a smaller solution, which I guess would be either a single audio interface with probably 8 inputs, or more likely, a mixer/interface combo.

The ability to record multiple individual tracks into a DAW at the same would be great but not strictly necessary.

I very much like the look of the Zoom Livetraks, but the onboard recording is not necessary for me so I'd be paying a lot for something I don't need.

Should hopefully get around £250 for selling the current solution, so somewhere not massively above that for the replacement would be great.

I'm also more than happy to go second hand.

I've not looked around for new gear for years, so I'm a bit out of the loop with new solutions.

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Hi everyone, we are seven people and we need to record ourself. Everyone should have his own mic (possibly a lapel one) and we need seven different audio tracks in order to edit them one by one. We will be in a quiet room and audio will be a big part of our project. With those parameters, considering that we are using just three cameras to shoot (and so we can’t plug all microphones there) and that our budget is around 1000€, what would be the best/smartest setup in your opinion? We have the space to buy a mixer if needed.

Keep in mind that I am not a home theater pro, so explain it to me like I’m five lol.

My LG speaker connects to my LG OLED TV using an optical cable. The speaker also has an HDMI port, but I’ve never been able to output sound with any of my TV’s HDMIs.

Now I’ve bought a set of RF headphones. The headphones can use either an optical cord or the old-school red and white RCA cables (which I don’t seem to have ports for.) I want to keep the headphones and the speaker plugged in so that I can switch between them whenever.

Two questions:

1. Am I right in thinking I should be using the optical cable for both? If so, how would I set this up? Is there such thing as an optical splitter?

2. I don’t see any way to use the RCA cables on my TV. Am I correct that I also don’t have an HDMI port that will send audio out? It seems weird for a $2500 TV to only have one port for audio, so I’m assuming I must be missing something.
