It turns out the USB sound cards (like the somake) don't provide much power, but they have Automatic Gain Control turned on by default, so the mic is at least usable and sounds loud enough. If you turn off AGC under the mic settings, you get to see how quiet it really is without phantom power.

Just tested this, he's right

Don't know how I missed that

Sneaky chinks

The somake is quiet as fuck without automatic gain control

Makes all my tests null and void

guess I'll watch one episode of Samurai Jack before I go to bed.

I guess that's what triggered my interest in Japan back then

anyone do any video editing on linux here?

>video editing
>linux

Found nothing that's any good tbh

Making a video exposing the somake as hot garbage soon

Oh?

Scroll up

I see

I put it in and looked, that's exactly what it's doing

So all my tests where I'm at 40% gain, 70% gain the somake was actually boosted way beyond that

Can't believe I fell for that

This is my last day of school

Yay

So yesterday I ordered three of those lapel mics, just to see how they are. I also posted it in the thread.

shit

somake

Doing god's work

tfw somake coming in mail...

I'm reluctant to do the video, it'll spark a bunch of butthurt

I ordered mics in different priceranges, so it'll be interesting.

but AGC is in almost every device, camcorders, phones

this is just a really weird and extreme version of it

Also, I'm glad I didn't buy a Somake + BM-800 now.

I had a suspicion because it starts rattling with feedback at 100% gain

like a TV turned up too loud

I'll make a video tomorrow maybe

somake is probably still fine for skype and gaming because that throws your audio through its own compression and fucks it up anyway

but I don't feel comfortable with my original test

because it isn't valid

can't compare like for like if one of them is artificially boosted

One might argue that it's still okay, as long as it sounds fine.

Although one should still be aware that it's boosted before buying.

Yeah I'll make a quick video to explain

it makes sense because when I hear other people's somake + bm-800 set-up it always sounded crackly and flat to me

Dirty's one is really bad

I think mine sounds better

If only everyone could find an eBay as good as the one you(?) posted on /csg/ a day or two ago.

They're still out there

Either they don't ship to Denmark or the shipping is really expensive.

could get a cheap behringer one?

PS400

I can't really be bothered, especially if those mics I've ordered are somewhat decent. Also, my current one isn't that bad.

I'm 99.9% sure mine is a rebadged innogear phantom power and they are everywhere cheap

maybe I should mention that

they look identical

make a video about the lav mics, I'm in the market for one for portable voice recording

jeez, that'll be awkward

But yeah, I probably should.

The actual problem is that I've got an awkward accent. I mean, it's not as bad as many of those indian reviewers, but still.

the bar to clear is pretty low

True

yo boiz

i just got my bluedio meme wireless earphones

theyre actually not bad

neat

they'll be nice for the gym

i'm 100% sure it'd be a good idea to use an equalizer, tho

yea i am

deafaulted from my other earphones

theyre quite tinny when stock

but actually pretty damn good once the low end is boosted a bit

might post about it on csg

do it

got a bunch of other stuff

after i image em for goybest points ill post

I've got a package down at the post office.

The trip to the post office takes like 10 minutes in total, but I can't be bothered.
But I really want the package, even though I have no idea what's in it.

lol

i find driving around and doing general shit like that really relaxing'

its a nice excuse to leave the house

Ayyyyy

Oh shit, it's the Pusheen

It only took two weeks
