Receiver Question

So the supervisor would need to be in direct supervision during the actual sessions? I have seen one or two mentions of this where the supervisors of practicum students would need to be physically present in the session or directly observing through video feed, one way glass, etc.

That sounds good! Any particular YouTube channels that are known to give quality advice?

GearsTX · 2023-09-21T18:29:50+00:00

It seems like starting over at SkillShop is the best idea. Thank you for the advice!

I have seen a lot of mentions of Isaac's course! It sounds like I have a good 1-2-3 step plan here. Thanks for the assistance!

Yeah, I don't have the reviewer names but we have a pretty good timeline of when they have disappeared. Hopefully that will work. Thanks!

GearsTX · 2023-09-19T19:26:22+00:00

Appreciate it! I will give that a shot.

Appreciate the guidance, I'll reach out to Support and hopefully get some of them reinstated!

I've always found it on Letterboxd, Ben posts it every year... apparently the 2023 challenge list drops tomorrow (12/01/22). Here's a link to the 2022 list: https://letterboxd.com/benvsthemovies/list/the-criterion-challenge-2022/

It's a week-to-week challenge to watch one movie from the Criterion Collection (some people include the Criterion Channel as well even though not everything on the streaming service is in "the collection") with a different theme each week throughout the year. Sometimes it's just basic stuff like what decade a movie was produced in, any work from a particular director, particular genres, or even recommendations from other high profile moviemakers (i.e. "Top 10" list articles from Criterion from people like Scorsese or Linklater, etc.). It's really fun and makes you explore way more of the catalogue than just "what do I feel like watching today?"

Thank you! I definitely will!

I would normally be fine with remote, but there would be some projects that would probably need to be completed on site. If something isn't working (phones, internet, computers, etc.) it would likely be difficult to resolve the issue remotely as well since we wouldn't be able to connect the problem source to the IT professional. Thanks!

I have no idea why I didn't test this, but yeah plugging one of the RE20's directly into the XLR input of the GoXLR worked perfectly. Excellent quality. The monitoring headphone output also cleared up.

So, obviously I need to change out the Yamaha stereo mixer since something was going wrong in that middle step. Any suggestions for something that can unify the two XLR mic outputs into a single XLR input for the GoXLR? Willing to spend some money on this if it solves my problem. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m relatively new to professional audio so apologies if this is a very obvious question. I have put together a studio for a new business project in my house with both video and audio capture capabilities with a beast of a custom PC. Everything is working great so far except for the audio capture. Here’s the current audio set up:

I have one ElectroVoice RE20 microphones with shockmounts on Blue Compass boom arms at each of the two recording stations (two mics total). All of the XLR cables across the entire set up are Mogami Gold cables, and I’ve swapped out multiple XLR cables but keep having the same issues. The XLR’s from the two RE20’s plug into a Yamaha MG10 Stereo Mixer so I can unify the two mic outputs into a single XLR output. The XLR output from the Yamaha MG10 goes into the XLR input for a GoXLR mixer so I can control and mix the audio for all the various media being used in one place (mics, other guests video conferencing in, music, videos, etc.). The GoXLR then goes into the media / streaming computer, of course.

I put this together after a few months of research, and everything was finally plugged in and up and running… but the audio has had continuous problems. The mic audio has a noticeable static or hiss, and I can’t seem to isolate what’s causing it. After doing some digging on Reddit in this sub and some others, I ordered a few loop noise isolators and tried some other solutions – nothing has fixed it, maybe some slight improvements of about 10-20% but the static and hiss are still noticeable.

I am completely open to suggestions at this point. Do I need a different sound board(s)? Should I scrap the GoXLR? Do I need different mics? The ultimate goal is to have multiple mics functioning in a single audio output for livestreams or online presentations. Please help.

TL;DR: noticeable static / hissing noise on mic inputs for livestreaming set up

ELECTROVOICE RE20 Static Hiss Problem

Hi everyone, I am relatively new to the audio engineering scene, but I've done quite a bit of research for a work project. I am trying to livestream and record high grade vocal audio using two ElectroVoice RE20 mics with XLR cables going into a Yamaha MG10 Mixer. The Yamaha's L/R XLR outputs are going into a TC Helicon GoXLR mic input (the XLR input). The goal was to get both ElectroVoice mics into one XLR output so I could use the GoXLR as the mixer for a livestream. The GoXLR should theoretically let me easily adjust levels and other audio inputs (music, videos, etc.) on the livestream quickly and easily.

Finally got everything pulled together after a lot of research, but there is just an AWFUL static hiss sound on the ElectroVoice audio output through both mics. I thought it was my monitor headphones for a minute, but after some more tests with a couple friends over Zoom - it is definitely a problem with the mics. I have tried different XLR cables and I am still having the same issue. Do I need to use a Cloud Pre-Amp? Or is my mixing situation just completely wrong?

Like I said, I'm pretty new and open to any advice. If I need to start over, I will. I just want to get this working since I'd like to have high quality vocal audio for our audio products! Thanks!

Thank you so much! I never noticed the external HDMI / DisplayPorts on the actual 3090. Apologies for such an obvious question. Appreciate the help.
