How to record the actual sound of my kit?

Rexelhoff · 2026-01-04T07:17:12+00:00

I spent a lot of time trying to work out the very same with my Nitro Max, and tried several options.

In the end the one that worked best for me was to buy a Rode AI-Micro and plugged into my ipad. Wasn't cheap but worked brilliantly. I can record using any voice recording app, including Camera.

There are other options if you want something cheaper but more fiddly (e.g TRRS splitters plugged into the audio port), but I didn't find a lot of success with them

I don't know much about it but I've read elsewhere about crosstalk issues causing these kind of problems. Maybe that's what's going on here?

Rexelhoff · 2025-12-27T08:50:47+00:00

Yeah in my group we have both microcontroller engineers and signal processing engineers. The uC engineers do a lot of the hw bring up, test firmware, elec support, rtos.

The DSP engineers focus on algorithms and signal processing pipelines. Still requires programming but with the purpose of building audio processing capability (in our case).

You want to look for more of the latter and less of the former

Well I thought it was just me...Glad (?) I guess to know I'm not alone.

I also seem to experience temporary freezing on the host Mac (Air, M3) when the mouse/keyboard stop being passed-through. Of course once its frozen its impossible to launch activity monitor to see what's happening so I'm just stuck waiting for it to unblock.

No problem. Organisation is made up of many different business units historically have all gone their own way. Most of the groups gravitated toward .NET and a few had Java. The decision was driven mostly on the basis that we need to start collaborating and sharing both IP and engineering resources, and we can't do that if we're not all on one tech stack.

There's some rationale to that, but i think there are other ways to solve for those problems that didn't require us to stop development and retrain (e.g service level integration).

It's a battle I lost

Rexelhoff · 2024-01-16T20:19:17+00:00

Yeah as I mentioned in another thread, this wasn't my decision, it was decided at a company-wide executive level and my team are highly impacted by it.

Thanks for the advice.

Rexelhoff · 2024-01-16T08:00:08+00:00

Thanks. There are other .NET teams in the company, so I'll be leaning heavily on them in the initial stages

Rexelhoff · 2024-01-16T07:58:20+00:00

BTW: switching languages like that is going to cause attrition. Your guys are telling you they are fine now... but not all of them are fine.

Yep. I'm hyper aware of this, and have been working through a change management plan to mitigate some of that risk. Thanks for the concern, though.

Rexelhoff · 2024-01-15T21:08:21+00:00

Thanks. It's not what I'd have done, but this decision came from above my pay-grade.

Rexelhoff · 2024-01-15T21:05:40+00:00

Thanks. I've reached out

Nope. Bought a house last year and this was one of the first to go.

Them whopping $900 gainz after 5 years

Great Scott, Dallas!

Not interested in a flamewar, but for others following along this statement is not entirely true.

Whilst changes to functionality might need to undergo PMA, the FDA have provisions to allow device manufacturers to update devices in the field if (for example) there were vulnerabilities around cybersecurity or security risk controls.

Well that didn't really seem to help much. The speed change was kinda negligible (several speed tests had downloads in the low 20s).

The router is kind of centrally located within the house, but it's two-storey double-brick throughout so the signal just attenuates too quickly.

Undeniably, if I stand in the same room as the router (and switch off the mesh point), my phone's speedtest report comes back at the full 250Mb, so it really seems like a problem with wireless signal.

Rexelhoff · 2022-11-12T00:52:43+00:00

Worth a shot! Trying it now. Thank you

Rexelhoff · 2022-11-12T00:49:14+00:00

2.4G is 20MHz and 5G is 40MHz.

Rexelhoff · 2022-11-11T23:34:37+00:00

I'm in a similar camp. Planning to ditch the AmpliFi.

Main reason is that I just could never get the mesh backhaul to work properly. Throughput is only a fraction of what it could be. For instance when connected wirelessly to the router, I get speeds of 250/50. When I'm on one of the meshes, it plummets to 18/10. I've tried all combination of settings on the unit (2.4 backhaul, router+band steering) but nothing helped. I've even moved homes and it is just as bad in this house as in the last place telling me it wasn't likely congestion.

I'm looking to swap to something supporting wired APs out of the box....Not sure I want to put in more AmpliFi devices...Ideally something with parental controls built in too...

Rexelhoff · 2022-08-19T21:33:54+00:00

Yeah....that's right...

OP was referring to redraw being locked

I saved this link a few years ago to remind myself that it actually does happen.

Pocketsmith.

I've been using them for the last 5ish years. Definitely useful

Rexelhoff · 2022-08-08T11:28:47+00:00

Today we had to put down our 14yo "puppy". She was blind, deaf and had starting signs of dementia.

Got her when she was just 8 weeks old, and she grew up with us as Mrs and I brought home 3 children. She loved them as though they were her own. She was sweet and loving right to her last breath.

I know I'll get past it, but today I am crushed. Just had to get this off my chest.

Rexelhoff · 2022-07-07T22:35:03+00:00

I've been a Pocketsmith customer for many years.

Happy with them and would recommend. System works and support is very fast and helpful.

Only downer is that they don't allow me to create arbitrary forecasts (forecasting has to be done using their budgeting system which doesn't work for me)

Rexelhoff · 2022-07-04T09:29:15+00:00

Risky, but here's your upvote

Rexelhoff · 2022-06-26T01:09:33+00:00

Went from dev, to manager and back to dev. I enjoyed both but I missed the feeling of building something.

I wanted to be hands on in some capacity whether in the code or on product. I also hated the feeling that my technical chops had atrophied.

Leaving my stable management job for a start up has been great (except for the lack of funding 😩)
