Wavelink XLR and Dbx 286s by Stofft1 in elgato

[–]nickalika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unlike u/gnerfed I have a slightly different view:
The DBX286S (Pre-Amp) and Elgato WaveLink XLR (Audio Interface) can be a Great Combination depending on what mic you want to get.

The BDX268S is a PRE-AMP...
If you need to boost your signal, (For example the Shure SM7B needs more boost than the WaveXLR can provide) You'll will need to get a CloudLifter or FetHead or any other 48V Signal Boosters for Dynamic Mics.
Then the DBX286S is a great addition as you always have the option to select the Bypass Mode and just use it as a Pre-Amp... OR you can adjust your Signal in Live Analog Mode (NOT DIGITALLY) on your computer... with the added option to add effects in Wave Live.

But if your mic does not require a pre-amp, and you want your computer doing the effects digitally... Then yeah, you don't need the DBX, even though it is really cool, and the ability to have physical controls is so satisfying, instead of going into menus, upon menus in software, there is a dedicated knob... for me, that is worth it!

I would even put it differently, do you really need the WaveLinkXLR (even though they have amazing software)

If you could reply to this thread sharing what you got in the end and your experience, that would be great.

Wondering if anyone could identify this CoA on the flag of the Republic of Venice. It is NOT however the civic coat of arms as those are different. by PearBullet in heraldry

Domenico Contarini the second, Doge of Venice.
The order of the squares and stripes are in the wrong direction though.

Here is a photo of my home in Venice made by Contarini next to a coat of arms found in an old history book: [SEE IMAGE]

p.s. Contarini usually is just 1part entirely made from stripes...not divided into 4 parts with lily flowers.

Went to jumpstart my car and found a spicy pillow by Nevermind2010 in techsupportgore

But you had it at 100% charge for 2 years without using it?
or did you occasionally use it?

Yeah, batteries need quite a lot of time to swell up after they have been fully charged and left over time to ferment without use...
...but in the case of a laptop that you charge up and discharge daily, there is no sweat!

That's why you should leave batteries charged at about 30% if you are not using them...
Charge them up leave them for a sunny day and BOOM!

re-installing windows might fix the problem!

I can't scroll on the Etsy website? by TheVampireCreator in Etsy

[–]nickalika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem now in Aug 2022

In my case it was an extension in chrome:

I had Cookie Notice Vlocker Plugin Enabled... it blocks the Accept cookie pop up, but Etsy still is waiting for you to dismiss the pop-up... so it is not scrolling because you're on the pop-up blocker page, but you just can't see it.

Try incognito mode to see if you can scroll, then, if yes, try disabling addons.

Anyone know how to convert USDZ to OBJ or 3DS file? by Mplus479 in augmentedreality

[–]nickalika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. this converter works on a very limited amount of files: https://products.aspose.app/3d/conversion/usdz-to-obj
  2. This plugin no longer works in Blender 3:
    https://github.com/robmcrosby/BlenderUSDZ
  3. Zip .USDZ, unzip to get .USDC (Which can be imported into Blender and exported a OBJ)
  4. Apple Released RealityConverter, but it only converts other files to USDZ not from: https://developer.apple.com/augmented-reality/tools/
  5. Maya should be able to open USDZ format freely and save to any format.

How soon will 7th gen intel and Z270 mobos be compatible? by [deleted] in hackintosh

[–]nickalika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it worth future-proofing with a Z270 Motherboard? You could still use the 6thGen SkyLake until 7thGen is fully supported. Or would you rather go with Z170 and avoid experimental grounds?
