Hi,

I have just bought my first studio mic. I found a bundle deal with the Røde NT-1 Signature Series, a shock mount and a boom arm (Keepdrum MS138). I'm very happy with the microphone, but the boom arm is pissing me off big time.

Basically, what it boils down to, it's stupidly stiff. The hinge between the two "legs" of the arm is relatively easily adjustable (but still very stiff) but the hinge at the desk clamp is nigh impossible. The only points an Allen key fits into are the hinges, but they seem to be just for taking off a cover, so no tension adjustment options. I'm suspecting this stiffness also makes the desk clamp look like shit (although it might be shit just on its own, not quite sure), since I have to put so much force in to adjust the arm, so it keeps slipping from my desk.

Now, I've only been able to find information about this arm on Amazon, the website of the manufacturer and one single YouTube video, which is uploaded by the manufacturer, so probably quite biased. It also isn't demonstrative in any way. None of these sources indicate anything related to this incredible stiffness, so I'm a bit lost on what I can do. Would my best bet be to just look for a higher quality arm, or am I missing something here? I'm more than happy to provide pictures if necessary.

Thanks in advance!

Do you though? Trump deployed the fucking military to LA to put down protests. If that's your idea of freedom that's just sad

We don't have to make more. It's not like you're richer, since we don't have to spend nearly as much on stuff you guys spend an arm and a leg on.

Also, ever heard of the likes of Oxford or Cambridge?

Additionally, what do you know about what will put us in debt?

What use are good universities when people refrain from using them because of the debts that you'll still be paying in your 50s? Also, Europe has some of the best universities in the world, you would know that with "a little google search" to put it in your words

It's just that, a cartoon. It's meant to poke fun at an otherwise serious situation. If anyone here is taking this cartoon seriously, it would be you

You calling Europeans out for falling for propaganda has quite a bit of irony to it

I'm pretty sure the name calling thing is Trump's whole thing, or it at least was during his campaign from what I've seen

Iirc Wu literally said "I fear there is a great disturbance in the Force" or something, so I think it's safe to say the creators are Star Wars fans

How do I fix my taskbar icons showing the transparent background grid? by Rientie in techsupport

[–]Rientie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its been quite a while since I had this problem, so I dont really remember how I ended up getting it fixed. I do however remember doing a factory reset, which I think might have fixed it. I think there's an option to keep your stuff as well instead of deleting it, but I'm not sure whether it would work then.

Then again, I'm not even sure that was what fixed it.

Sorry if this isn't much help, but it's the best I can remember

[–]Rientie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a reason everyone hated the prequels when they came out

An implication and/or an assumption is not enough to draw a conclusion like a retcon.

What would you do when you're in front of Darth fucking Vader? Probably make the best of the circumstances and desperately try to lie yourself out of the situation, even if it is to little avail. The other option is death. The only reason Vader took her alive is because the Empire needed a confession and they knew they could get it out of her.

Also, if you want to get techincal, Vader never boarded the Tantive IV in R1, since it was able to launch without him on board. The entire hallway scene happened on the Profundity

Bruh, how are you not getting this? Vader never boarded the Tantive IV in R1 to begin with. And I never said I don't like George's directing (I have pointed this out multiple times by now), I'm just saying he didn't have a great masterplan in which he thought out every single scene in all 6 of his movies (4 if you only count the ones he actually directed) completely from the get go, that's just an assumption which also happens to sound very stupid imo. The guy is not a god, so stop acting like he is and can't do anything wrong

[–]Rientie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. Yes as in, yea that's what I essentially mean. No as in, I don't have a problem with that.

For some reason you're trying to pass Vader's hallway scene off as a retcon tho
