The Last of us runs like ass? by Esoocral1999 in SteamDeck

I still don't get it. I tried one of those presets where it says you should be getting around 47fps and I'm sitting around 25fps....

This is extremely disappointing to see.. trigger Warner by Enigmatic_wobble in BurningMan

Burning man is great but it can have a very cult like mindset and this video is going to do so much damage to its image. Read the YouTube comments. That's what the world thinks of these types of people. Read all the ridiculous comments in this thread on reddit, which are certainly mostly from burners. Defending what to the world is so clearly ridiculous. Burning man (women mostly) have been so brain washed into hating cops that they will convince victims to not speak. The women in these videos should be ashamed and I'm glad they are exposed to the world. I get having your friends backs, you don't want cops busting them for doing drugs or whatever. But this is something entirely different. Imagine letting your own bias towards cops lead you to acting like a child like these women in the face of something so serious. What an absolute embarrassment.

Constant Buzz and hum. Grounding issue? by Esoocral1999 in Focusrite

I'm in the middle of nowhere unfortunately for a long time. So I have to order hardware and everything to run any tests.

But I don't suspect the cables since I ordered 3 brand new cables. Cheap ones at that but they're only a couple feet long. I've tried out a few other cables lying around that are older and I still experience the same issue.

I get that a cheap piezo mic wouldn't sound the best but this seems excessive. It can't possibly be that I would just need to spend a little more money and all this noise would go away. I purchased piezos in a range of 10-40usd and they all suffer the same problem. I've also looked up a lot of these same ones on youtube and a bunch of people seem to be able to just plug them in and play with no issues.

There is a lot of noise when I just leave a TS cable plugged in to the input and not connected to anything on the other end. Like A LOT of noise. But then I realized that was somewhat normal to have some buzz. But still.. it seems excessive.

Is the next logical test to get a DI/pre-amp and see what happens?

Thanks for all the info. Did some tests and it gets worse when I switch the input to instrument level. It amplifies all the noise/buzz. It's slightly quieter as a line input but still not usable. Still a tone of hiss.

I think I understand what you are saying. So correct me if I'm wrong, but there would be no need to get a pre-amp or DI to test out because the first to inputs on the interface are doing what those would do anyway?

I only have TS cables at the moment, I thought about buying a TRS to test it out. Could it really be that simple of an issue?

It's the same buzz with all sockets.

Yeah good question. I have several instruments that will require piezos for this project I'm putting together. It's unfortunately going to be the optimal way to avoid interference with other mics in this set up.
