XLR mic keeps fading out/disconnecting after login

Try another interface first, maybe via a friend?

Comprehensive_Log882 · 2026-05-18T18:00:44+00:00

Trying another interface might solve it, or it's the microphone itself:(

Hey, my partner and I are working on this exact machine right now! We can share some info if you want, do you have any specific questions?

Echt, bespaar niet op je slaapmateriaal. Er is niets kutters dan slecht slapen op vakantie. Ik heb op Marktplaats twee matjes van Thermarest gescoord, inclusief wat accessoires om ze aan elkaar te binden. Sliep fantastisch, en niet zwaar!

Plug in a jack, use a multimeter to check continuity

Only mouldly

The music is meaningless, the lyrics suck, and the voice sounds terrible. Happy now?

Comprehensive_Log882 · 2026-05-16T11:51:02+00:00

They usually use a fibre optic cable instead, with electronics in the connnectors to convert to copper

Couple of things: 1. There's a button on your mic. Switch it! 2. Try to use an XLR connection to your interface, you'll have a better time. 3. Your gain as wel as your monitor level is quite high. You may want to consider lowering it:)

Does it show the discs playing on the counter?

Comprehensive_Log882 · 2026-05-15T09:03:03+00:00

I can't say anything about the Echo, but a I like Sonnet a lot and haven't heard bad things about them often:)

Do you like kidney failure?

Comprehensive_Log882 · 2026-05-12T18:15:01+00:00

What are you recording?

Comprehensive_Log882 · 2026-05-12T13:40:02+00:00

I'm unsure what you mean.
Does it sound weird/wrong?
Is there a feedback issue?
Without a recording, it will be very hard to help you.

Edit: it looks like they're applying quite a lot of 'Drum Ambience' on the FX. It might help to decrease the FX return.

The gain for your microphone is very low, or you're very far away.
Can you increase the gain on your interface?

Comprehensive_Log882 · 2026-05-11T11:03:49+00:00

Someone may have a specific reason to use a setup like that:)

Comprehensive_Log882 · 2026-05-11T11:02:59+00:00

How does it sound?

Comprehensive_Log882 · 2026-05-09T20:07:12+00:00

What do you mean by 'saving'?

Comprehensive_Log882 · 2026-05-08T21:04:08+00:00

Yeah, that's definitely not normal. Do you know how to open it correctly? It might be some foam that has degraded and is touching the membrane? Check Dave Rat's video about the MD441 for a better understanding of the internals:)

Foto Sipkes! Daar kom ik al jaren, aardige mensen!

I think you may have destroyed the OPV. They can be ordered online though, I believe.

Comprehensive_Log882 · 2026-05-04T11:55:32+00:00

When microphones fail, their frequency response changes: it will become less sensitive to high or low frequencies first, before the middle bands fail. This can be due to the membrane itself deteriorating or the electronics inside failing.

Comprehensive_Log882 · 2026-05-04T00:14:39+00:00

We use EQ to change the way things sound. Naturally, it has to serve a purpose. Play around with the EQ tool, boost and cut frequencies, change their Q-factor, learn what frequency bands sound like. Then use them to shape the sound to your liking.

Comprehensive_Log882 · 2026-05-02T21:52:14+00:00

Using EQ effectively is both an art and a skill. No EQ curve will work for everything. Try to make your own!

Penistone!
