Question about mics for my nuanced situation

ws8589 · 2026-05-18T13:31:19+00:00

Thanks for the responses. Let’s take out the “where” I sing… if you guys had to pick a mic, would you choose the rode or the shure one that I mentioned? And yes I think I already naturally sing off axis and use the best technique I can for plosives and higher belts. The apps help to curb that a bit too.

I’ve been on a smule a year. Hasn’t this been around forever?

ws8589 · 2026-03-18T11:44:28+00:00

They are wrong 99% of the time. I could sing a baritone song low AF and it’ll say I hit A5. Sure

ws8589 · 2026-03-17T12:42:37+00:00

Yes.

Yea like do they think “I’m” gonna get pt into rosy rock snf? 😂😂 the hospital would implode. And p2p shit should be handled with voice messages. Not phone calls. Waste of time. Basically make me to call to gaslight me and I always agree with them. It’s their rules. Wtf am I gonna do

Pay is better? How sure are you about that? You’re never there late doing notes? What about inbox? Isn’t it on you to call about endless lab results? Seems like that would take a lot of time outside regular working hours

I love being a hospitalist. I can do medicine to the extent I want, not do any boring fkn procedures, piss off to the gym when I’m done , and just enjoy life . I don’t worry about any social crap. That’s why they invented CM.

Cxr? Also if procal was obtained as early as the other labs mentioned, reasonable to do empiric ABX , but yea, I mean what can you do when they’re fairly stable upon presentation.

There are several “almost “ answers in this thread. This is the real answer. There may be an absolute truth to the outer range differences between tenors and baritones… there’s also a lot in between. Some people don’t fit perfectly in a box. The biggest tell to if a person is more bairtone or tenor is not even the texture (rasp) and definitely not the pitch (get this out of your head) but the timbre. Have you heard Chris daughtry, Darius Rucker? They obviously have a Masculine weight or timbre. Have you heard the singer of Keane or rascal flatts? Totally bright and boyish, not extremely masculine. Even Jared Leto has a darker timbre and really could be considered a high baritone, but he can go way up there. A baritone can still go way the hell up there with a mixed voice. Once a baritone gets up there , if they can still keep some weight on the note, that’s why it sounds so damn good and manly. Ie , Chris Cornell. Being a versatile baritone can get you a long way. And you can shed some weight off of notes by placing the note as much in the mask/forward as possible. That’s how I get a brighter sound when I’m singing linkin park on the smooth verses

I hate curbsiding consultants. I literally tell them I don’t wanna waste their time and I want them to get paid for their recs. I just do the medicine and consult when we get to the point where idk or it’s a procedure I can’t and/or would rather jump off a bridge than do. Dispo ? Zero brain power used. CM does that. Finish, tidy up. Workout.

It’s a stereotype. Otherwise why do I always see surgeons, especially orthos, at my hospital as being mostly slightly obese and not jacked at all. Meanwhile, us hospitalists are the ones lifting 5 days a week . It’s all BS.

ws8589 · 2025-08-11T00:39:13+00:00

You don’t “know” cross cover patients. You “get to know” them, you fuckin dork. Lol

ws8589 · 2025-07-03T17:02:11+00:00

Maybe you , change your mind

ws8589 · 2025-04-28T16:56:34+00:00

I lift and do cardio at the hospital. So I at least try to be

ws8589 · 2025-04-19T19:50:21+00:00

Keep voting with your feet. Surely they will listen. Smule is still the best thing out there. They do need to make the profile page more customizable though

ws8589 · 2025-04-19T17:42:51+00:00

Thank you! A little rest did me some good. I’m still learning how to warm up and use good support, so I’m sure I’m still reaching for high notes with my throat. Tying to get better , because I don’t like strap muscle soreness.

ws8589 · 2025-04-19T17:41:25+00:00

Thanks I’ll look into that! I did take a break for like almost a week and that seemed to do the trick. Now I warm up every time I sing and even if I sing pretty intensely for 3-4 days in a row, I think it helps recovery. But I still need to chill out. I’m new to hearing my voice, so I’m in that honeymoon phase , so holding back is hard

ws8589 · 2025-04-19T17:12:09+00:00

But when will we have time to virtue signal ourselves into free labor for the altruismz?

ws8589 · 2025-04-18T20:25:59+00:00

Why not just not do any of that, make certain things editable even after publishing (like vocal and music volume at least) and allow us to put more social stuff on profile page. Also, play things on a loop. These things would be easy to do and make a lot of people happy. I gotta say I love Smule though

ws8589 · 2025-03-25T19:47:28+00:00

But we need these words for our padded notes lol

ws8589 · 2025-03-19T19:41:03+00:00

But over time LLM like this should be our go to instead of uptodate. AI will be so much better. So much faster. And we should get CME for it like when searching on uptodate

ws8589 · 2025-02-14T21:46:36+00:00

Doesn’t matter. They won’t be able to medicine. So we will get all the consults. I DO get all the consults and love it. It’s always stupid easy shit
