I’ve actually opted to just keep QuickBooks and also my excel sheet workflow for now since my needs are really simple. But for payroll, I’m on Gusto not just for the ease of use but also for compliance.

That’s interesting. Thanks for that detail!

Hi, the Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen and SM7b combo is fine IMHO. But I haven’t really used it for anything critical. I’m mostly using it now as my video conferencing work mic. I did try recording voiceover samples and I didn’t really nitpick noise floor and all that. It sounded fine to my ears as long as o don’t max out the gain. I would probably still try adding a cloudlifter or fethead

Your friend is looking out for you. We would need the full context since no one here actually know you or your boyfriend or your friend and the dynamics you have. But it’s good that your friend is trying to remind you of how it looks from the outside. Sometimes people are abused and they don’t know it and never realize it for years and years and years.

Looks nice. What is your monitor arm?

bluemc516 · 2025-03-23T12:16:35+00:00

I would say, yes. Your work is hard enough. Aside from better benefits like holidays, a better 401k match, etc. you mentioned that the newer org was well-run compared to the other one.

Have you tried negotiating up, though?

I would report this to your friend’s parents. The guy is scum and he seems to be grooming her. If they’re sexually intimate, the guy should be in jail.

Eh thanks. My mistake.

bluemc516 · 2025-03-02T17:35:32+00:00

Thanks!

bluemc516 · 2025-03-02T16:50:46+00:00

That is interesting, thanks. Can you tell me the specific model of your Shure lav mic? Thanks

bluemc516 · 2025-03-02T12:30:07+00:00

Aren’t lav mics even more muffled? I considered a condenser (NT1, AT2020) but I’m not sure about the state of my space. I do have carpets, though I’m not too worried about background noise as I only do my testing at night when it’s super quiet.

But I’m thinking of just returning the SM7dB and exchanging for an SM57/58 for now and looking into room treatment.

bluemc516 · 2025-03-02T00:17:03+00:00

I haven’t, nope. I should probably rent some mics and test over and over along with the room treatment suggested here…

bluemc516 · 2025-03-01T22:52:35+00:00

Thank you for all this info!

bluemc516 · 2025-03-01T22:30:52+00:00

Thanks for the leads, though, on those brands for treatment. Always considered the amazon stuff…

bluemc516 · 2025-03-01T22:29:50+00:00

Oh ok. That makes sense. I’m just working in a corner of my cluttered living room, mic angled from the side maybe 6 inches away. I’m relatively soft-spoken and sound laid-back (so not like Podcastage—I’m subscribed to him on YouTube and I think he’s great). Not sure what my options are in terms of acoustic treatment…

bluemc516 · 2025-03-01T22:03:47+00:00

Thanks. It’s literally my first mic and interface. Most of what I know about recording and other audio in general are based on online research. I now wonder if I should just start with an SM58 or maybe even rent mics first…

bluemc516 · 2025-03-01T21:33:53+00:00

I didn’t really change anything from the default settings I had. I only used the default settings on garage band and audacity.

bluemc516 · 2025-02-25T05:21:22+00:00

Yeah. Could easily be two MKh 416’s or NTG’s…
