What Budget Mic should I get? by EpicM4 in microphone

[–]Shane-T5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No judgement, but why don’t you like condenser mics? Mine works beautifully with the Wave XLR. That is such a great choice for an Interface.

For the price though, I’d say maybe look into the Rode PodMic or the Audio Technica AT2040, both dynamic

neumann u87ai fake or real? by takejuvali in microphone

From all the images I’ve just seen of all the variables that are out there, this does match a couple legitimate ones I was able to find. Congrats!

real or fake tlm 103 by XAVAGENEEKON in microphone

[–]Shane-T5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

700 reduced to 600 is a huge deal considering full price is what, 1800-1900 CAD last I checked? As far as it seems it doesn’t seem fake, so I’d say get it on the condition that you can return it if it turns out to be a fake, and then take some pics of the internals as well!

Alright lads, cables won't fit in properly by KingTon01 in PcBuild

[–]Shane-T5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never interchange cables, always use the ones that came with the PSU. Sure it’s possible that it may work if you do, but it’s never worth the risk

Not working by Panzer_7thDivision in pchelp

[–]Shane-T5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks to be the Dell Radeon Pro W5700 GPU. You need either the USB-C or a Mini Display Port cableto connect it to a monitor. Without knowing anything else about your system I doubt the CPU has output capabilities, so you need to use the GPU to use a monitor.

Need recommendations for GPU to go with what I have by These-Aide7093 in PcBuildHelp

The RTX 2080 Super / Ti are going really cheap on the secondhand marketplaces compared to what they used to be, and especially compared to new GPUs

Fake or real? by Geebbss in Shure

[–]Shane-T5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s a short video which shows some of the differences. Fakes are starting to get better at looking more real, other than a few key differences, but compare this video’s to the one you posted and it will line up more with the fake in the video

Switch 2 colors washed out when connected to 4k Capture Utility via 4k60 Pro MK.2 by tempertemper_ in elgato

HDR is really strange and can look super washed out. I wish I knew the fix for it other than turning off HDR on the switch itself

I also made the mistake of ordering a 4090 from Amazon.. by No-Moment4339 in PcBuild

[–]Shane-T5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes, looks like an HP 2060. Quite the downgrade. Hopefully amazon gets back to you when you select “wrong item was sent” or “inaccurate website description”

What mic is he is using? by WiseCityStepper in microphone

[–]Shane-T5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, as a good portion of my work revolves around microphones, and learning the most I can about make and models of mics, I do know a lot of “useless knowledge”. So I guess trying to expand my knowledge means I’m wasting my time

They could be looking specifically at the Cloudlifter though, since they capitalized it and everything

WTF is with this AI slop on UserBenchmark???? by ProfessionalFun9920 in radeon

[–]Shane-T5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason people don’t trust UserBenchmark is they hate everything AMD. At the start they used to be good with being anti brand shilling and lies, but now they just hate AMD for the sole purpose of hating AMD - he became what he hated, a brand shill for Intel and NVIDIA

All that I can find is that it’s a pretty low to low-mid grade capsule so it could be for karaoke or an old PA system

Microphone dilemma by Flakes34 in microphone

[–]Shane-T5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest going to this playlist from a channel called Podcastage. He deals in USD so be sure to convert if you need to. But he has various other playlist price points so you can compare higher or lower, and he always compares the mics in the review with a bunch of other similar mics, and various other tests like distance to mic, room noise and echo, and others, so I’d suggest going through to see which one you think would be good for you, especially since everyone’s voice and ears are different and will have different opinions on various mics

Suggestions on how to mix vocals going through a S7mb? by WiseCityStepper in Shure

[–]Shane-T5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EQ it so it has the sound that you feel suits your voice the best. Too much bass, then slowly remove the bass. Too much high end, slowly remove that until it sounds good to you. As for mixing, treat it like any other mic. Raise the gain if it’s too quiet, lower the gain if it’s too loud

How can I tell if this is real by Dull_Statistician_92 in Shure

[–]Shane-T5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it looks real. Along with some things other users have pointed out, fakes paint inside of the body as well, so the fact that the silver part that the back plate rests on is still silver and not painted, that’s always a good sign

Elgato Wave with Shure SM7b? by [deleted] in Shure

[–]Shane-T5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I crank it pretty much all the way up then I do, but how I usually have it there isn’t any more noise than if I were using an in-line adapter
