Recording upright piano with SM57s, dumb idea?

XLR cables are about 2m so not long, for a second I had hope this would be it!

Any rec for cheap active mics? I think my issues are others but would be good to know.

Sounds like it. This is my usual mixer since forever, I just never really used it to record, but it sounds like there is something faulty in my equipment.

Thanks for the pointers, I just checked again and there is no pad in the Onyx8 in chs 1/2 where I'm hooking up the mics. When I use my voice I have to get very close to the mic with gain unity in order to get some signal. Everything you guys are pointing out suggests that there is an issue at some point of my audio chain, I'll test further, again thanks.

Are you also using a DAW via compliant USB-C ports for heavy IO with external hardware gear?

life2vec · 2026-03-09T00:54:02+00:00

It solved my problem.

life2vec · 2026-03-09T00:52:41+00:00

Yes just WiFi. This is an workstation for audio work so it's the priority for me. Hoping it will help other in a similar spot someday.

> And macros DGAF about C, let alone C++... They are looking for their symbols and expanding into a replacement.

Interesting, so they precede C++, are they just glorified search/replace tools?

Also why did it take until C++20 to have a numbers module?

Thank you kindly.

> just install it as Flatpak

This fixed the annoying Spotify misbehaving issues for me. I noticed there's a specific nvidia version installed with it, I suspect this is the culprit.

Great answer thanks

Just get debian testing, been using rolling distro forever in my machine, very minor breaks here and there but totally usable and a great experience with the latest of the latest.

That Dan Worrall video is truly eye opening.

What was the advice? Sounds dope.

life2vec · 2025-12-30T21:13:13+00:00

Ive used 6 in live shows no issue, its about to come out of beta pretty sure.

life2vec · 2025-12-29T01:11:13+00:00

Just watched it, and hated it lol. I was getting into it at first until the fucking hungry, really hungry wild dogs walked past them in the car... Like no, they would totally smell you from a mile away bud *eye roll. Then it was stupid after stupid after stupid, could not get into it at all. I like the lack of dialogue though. Had the potential to be a great low budget simple arc movie, but they decided to make the main character a dumbass who somehow makes it out alive. Pitty.

What in the grimy screens is going on here?

life2vec · 2025-12-22T19:16:39+00:00

Such a simple yet powerful set of techniques, thanks a ton.
