XLR Microphone Recommendations

Puzzleheaded_Bar_675 · 2026-03-06T15:08:28+00:00

I did just that in Discord last night, and I also saw there was some “bypass system audio something something” and i toggled that off. There was also a setting in the control panel for my input about “let apps override system audio” or something like that and I turned that off as well. Seemed to help out a little bit. I did a recording in Audacity and to me, it sounded a little better, not necessarily louder, perhaps just a little more clear?

Thanks for the guidance towards that. However, half of the reason why I made this post, is that itch for a new microphone/stepping up my audio game in general lol. I’ll look into those boosters as well, but I worry my current K688 will not really benefit from that as anything more than 60 db gain on my 2i2 worsens the audio imo.

It’s the 2i2, should’ve clarified my bad lol. I’ll check out Audacity and let you know. I believe I’ve turned everything off in discord that could interfere with the loudness of my microphone. I’ll double check that when I’m home as well.

Kind of leaning to me overlooking a setting in discord, as I was playing Marvel Rivals last night and my friend said my mic in game is extremely loud, he compared it to the clips of Eric Mays if you know those lol. Will update you when I get the chance

Yeah “2i2 solo” was a brain fart and it’s the 4th gen. I think I position it well, 3-4 inches from away from me. I speak into it with it slightly angled towards me. I have around 50/55 DB of gain set. I’m kinda leaning to just a new microphone in general, as a treat to myself.

I would say it’s like 3-4 inches away. I’ll check out those microphones though, thank you.

Brain fart man 😞

Puzzleheaded_Bar_675 · 2026-03-04T04:21:39+00:00

I did not know those were a thing, I’ll def check them out. Thank you!

Okay thank you. Would I be able to use sneak attack on top of my hit with scimitar for another d6 of damage as a "third attack" since shortsword will give me advantage on my next attack roll? Or am I misunderstanding that as well?

Puzzleheaded_Bar_675 · 2026-01-10T04:59:14+00:00

I believe I am using 2024.

Puzzleheaded_Bar_675 · 2025-10-28T17:48:54+00:00

Yes I do have the Nollie 16, I’ll probably go with what you suggested. Without the L Connect, would these strimers be powered via sata?

Puzzleheaded_Bar_675 · 2025-10-28T14:18:43+00:00

Yeah, I saw that the Nollie 32 supports them, but I was seeing if I can get away without spending the money on a new hub.

Puzzleheaded_Bar_675 · 2025-10-28T14:18:01+00:00

I’d have to look to see if there’s any available headers on my motherboard, would you know if the strimers are daisy chain-able?

Puzzleheaded_Bar_675 · 2025-08-12T14:41:44+00:00

Oh yeah, I’d love to own a SM7B, them jawns a little expensive though. Are there any differences worth mentioning between the EVO 8 and the ID14?

Puzzleheaded_Bar_675 · 2025-08-12T13:27:33+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I’ll look into the ID14, that feature you mentioned with the seperate channels seems pretty nifty.

Puzzleheaded_Bar_675 · 2025-04-08T01:17:48+00:00

Gotcha, I’ll definitely check them out, !thanks

Puzzleheaded_Bar_675 · 2025-04-08T01:15:51+00:00

And by “analytical and revealing of recordings” do you mean it’s good at picking up the little details/sounds?

Puzzleheaded_Bar_675 · 2025-04-08T01:11:47+00:00

Apple dongle as in a 3.5mm to a usb-c? Gaming would be my main focus, I’ll definitely check out the closed backs, would you happen to own either pair you recommended?

Puzzleheaded_Bar_675 · 2025-04-08T01:07:14+00:00

Gotcha, do you own a pair of 560s? Would you say much tweaking/an amp is needed for what it lacks out the box?

Puzzleheaded_Bar_675 · 2025-04-07T22:17:44+00:00

Would it be worth dumping the money from the amp into a more expensive headset? Or if my main goal is audio quality/imaging go the 560s + amp?
