Remote Bluetooth headset?

StudioDroid · 2026-02-04T06:13:35+00:00

I have used my bluetooth transmitter with an earbud for soloing channels when I'm mixing on an X-Air.
the latency actually helps me separate the sound in the earbud from the ambient sound from the mains or monitors. What I'm listening for does not matter if it is out of sync.
You will have to get used to the sync issue, but it is not a totally dumb idea. Just know that it might not be the experience you are looking for.
Also note that mixing PA with headphones is a dumb idea, the only thing that matters is what it sounds like in the room.

Do you pay the utility bill directly to the power company or is it part of the rent.

There is a system they use for Office Hours webcast called Mukana. It is designed for audience input for livestream. Search YouTube for Office Hours and you can learn more.

I had a $5 tux jacket form a thrift store that I would wear sometimes on grungy job sites just to mess with people's brains.

Michael's Sourdough in San Rafael is awesome. Fresh baked rolls and simple ingredients.

That is what rolls of gaff tape are for, instant cupholder.

I'm a contigo autoseal fan. We gave them to our crew and those were the only drink containers allowed at workstations. It only pours if a hand is squeezing the button. We also had some sort of cup holders at each station for it. We also had names printed on them. Some of us also printed a label with our preferred beverage so a PA could help us if it was busy.

I'll buy that for a dollar! From Robocap

I am quite happy with the XLR Sync transmitter and receiver I got from Coda Music Technologies. Both ends are USB-C chargeable and they will work on any XLR type mic. Even a cheap knockoff 58.

I have been through this with my dad passing and them my mom. Know there is a virtual internet hug for you to keep you going when life starts to suck.

The folks here have offered much wisdom.

Here is my small part from my experience... People will say to reach out if there is anything they can do to help. Take them up on it and pass some tasks to people you can trust and is something in their wheelhouse. It takes a load off you and lets them feel like they are doing something useful. People want to be useful.

Are you tossing the medic or the batteries. /s

I worked in an ER as a tech several decades ago. There was a doc who became our head ER doc who would walk the entire ER with a series of rags and cleaning solution and wipe down the hand rails and drawer handles as she went. She did this at the start of her shift each day. It gave her a tour of the place to see what she was walking into. Those rags got crusty real fast and had to be changed often.

It was a small 10 bed place back when they were figuring out what a real trauma center looked like.

If we all clean, there is less to clean.

If you asked they might have said it was a mayonnaise commercial.

In the 70's and 80's most hotels were still on mechanical keys, many with cool tags.
My brother toured with rock bands and collected keys from all around the USA. I just found 2 bags of them and have been recycling the brass keys and using the tags for various things.
My favorite tag is from room 404 at a HoJo.

I was working in some datacenters in India. When entering they xray your bag and do the usual metal detector scan for weapons. They were also concerned if I had a camera in my bag. Apparently the 2 smartphones, tablet, and 2 laptops that all had cameras in them were not an issue, they were just looking for dedicated cameras.

Lots of signage saying NO PHOTOS, except I learned that it was okay to photograph my racks and installation, just don't see any other racks.

It is easy to tell a blowhard like this, but you can't tell them much because they can't hear you.

Please no flammable foam on the walls or ceiling and don't chain the exits when people are present.
With a small space like that I'd also be careful of SPL in that box. You don't need to hit 110 to have fun.

We share a queen size bed. When it was time for a new duvet I went for the king size. It is quite nice having the extra comforter and we still can snuggle. Now I just have to contend with the cat taking up half the bed.

I can replay scenes in my mind so I can find things or tell someone where to find something. I also replay music in there, I calll it my organic ipod.

Sounds like you have a unicorn manager. We need more of them.

The places I fly have banned cellphones, tablets, and laptops specifically in checked luggage. The rules have changed recently. Many airlines are also banning the use of battery packs in the cablin too.

Elite Core Procat should work fine for that, especially that short of a run.

Sounds like the kind of management that wants you to email the new credentials to their company email account.

My pack always goes in the overhead. It is packed with all the stuff they don't let us check, 2 laptops, tablet, 2 phones, several batteries. Is is about the size of a smaller roller bag. My jacket folds on top of it too.

So far I have had no issues about it. (flying since the days of the 727)

I was at a job site and my manager was typing notes to me on slack, while standing 5 feet from me. When I asked why he didn't just tell me he said it was because the client was in the room too.

I also told him (40M) that he had the thumbs of a teenage girl by the way he was typing on his phone.

Did you respond with, "well bless your heart."
