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

neat

Pusheen?

its a normie meme

this cunt

Am I that cunt?

no the cat

But I'm not fatter than I am tall

And I don't have a tail or whiskers

And I'm not a cat

>8ball do I set cpu to powersave mode?

:question: **Question**: `do I set cpu to powersave mode?`

Ok

>swagway

>no black kids

thats racist

i'll go get my pusheen

brb

There are a lot of nigs

nice

im waiting for my white one

As said in the thread, the ear is meh and I'd like it to be fatter, but it's still good. I like it.

just got my flashlight

what are you gonna light up?

its really strong for being so little

just run by a AA battery

I also ordered a $2 from Gearbest because of discount.
I have no idea what I'm gonna use it for. I've never needed a flashlight.

that is the point of chink shit

I've got use for most things I buy, though.
Like SD card, USB hub, microphone, watchstraps and IEMs

this time is the worst for buying a new GPU right?

if its not a 1080/1070

Only if buying new. People are selling their old shit, so if you get a good deal, it might be alright.

my friend wants to buy a whole new PC

and stores have still not dropped the price of the 900 series or the 300 amd series

Look for used stuff

:/

how is this http://www.gearbest.com/survival-eme.../pp_16234.html?

gonna buy it

its literally pennies

People haven't said good things about it on /csg/

but yeah

$0.69

who cares

why does applying a promo code make it more expensive?

Because it's already discounted

Promo code removes the discount and applies to the full price

Headphone holder is here, good quality so far, hasn't shattered, exploded or given me cancer

Neat

I should get one for myself

the AKG Q701 deserve more than just lying on the table

I wanted to try and see how the microphone would sound on the Rock Zircons, if I plugged it into my desktop.
But that's apparently not possible because of the connector. However, I found out that it's possible to connect a smartphone to the computer over wifi, and use whatever microphone is connected. It actually works really well.

comfy you use windows 10? dont you buy into the scaremongering and paranoia?

I don't do anything weird on Windows 10, I have a X200 running Linux for that

My windows 10 computer was formerly for gaming, now for video editing, working basically

I'm never comfortable with it spying on me but there's no way to escape that these days, every device we have with connections to the net spies on us, I used to be really angry and Stallman-y about it but I also need to be able to talk to people more normie than me and isolating myself doesn't do anything but bring misery

So I try to find a balance

I used to be the guy who demanded that I only talk to friends on encrypted channels and walking around with a dumb phone, at some point you have to live your life

I went through a similar Snowdenista phase.

I only do things now that make sense like keeping my passwords in a local database since providers like LastPass tend to get hacked.

I use Windows 10 on my laptop and any distro other than Arch has issues with it.

I have surrendered all my passwords to the Google overlords

I think not having a Facebook is the biggest stance I take but I suspect it's starting to hurt more than help, employers search my name and see nothing

Which is a red flag

The last time I got really angry was when they found out the fb app is always on listening to you through your phone

I was already long gone from them but it made me uncomfortable when friends sat there with phone on the table and fb app open

for a job i had to have a smartphone, i wanted to buy a xiaomi but my sister had a spare iphone s she gave me it. i make a point of not putting any personal info on it or logging into anything. i quite detest the fact that i have it really.

the most annoying thing is it forces you to log into your email to transfer photos over. it cant physically send them it has to go through god knows how many third party servers.

fucking apple

I think Facebook is a massive waste of time, but the Messenger app is excellent.

I still use Whatsapp because a friend from overseas is on there

So I'm technically using fb

Just an annoying thing whenever you become dependent on something for talking and then Zuck buys it up

did you see the mitu plushie zuck had

Yeah and his laptop mic/cam taped over

Guy knows best about how things work

its really depressing tbh

i understand that as a businessman its more important

but still

Yeah I remember in the dial up days when the internet was still a small thing and you could do whatever you want without being shut down, I hope someone makes an alternative to the modern internet

I know there's the deep web

All the pedos and druggies spoiled that, now the FBI is watching

oi that card tool

is great

google dont link to 8chan anymore because of deviantist thought crimes

the end is coming

I got it

just bought it

yeah Jii, thats funky

noticed the same thing

I got it for 8p, can't be that bad

8p?

i got it for 50p?

8 pence

the fuck gearbest

$0.10

i want my 42p

chinkd!!!!

Codes are in the <#194407663717580801> board, a lot of them are gone tho

i buy so much borderline free shit. "it doesnt add up if you dont add it up" - Chink Shit motto

They found the codes on a Russian forum

Think it was to entice the ruskies to buy from chinks

yeah, I ordered everyone of those thingies

Nice

I wonder how much profit they make on it

It must be cheap shit that cost less than a penny to make

i'd be very interested to learn about the production and shipping methods

and how they are so cheap

i think they use children who work for rice

how do they make shipping free?

Government subsidised

also the chinks are chinking your government

I think under a certain weight anything sent is free

there is postal agreement made in the 90's or something

that says that while sending post

the sender post only has to deliver it to your countrys post office

and then your countrys post must deliver it to you

it seemed nice in the 90's, but today it is horribly unbalanced

only in the first world right?

since chinks send 100 times more post than your nation

I am pretty sure it applies to pretty much every nation

wait il digg it

since its interesting

Think that applies everywhere considering I'm watching my mech keyboard go through tons of post offices

@breh there's a documentary about how they do it

That's where I pulled the clips for my welcome video from

link?

https://youtu.be/rh9n08ecS4Y

It focuses on the couriers only

But you get a glimpse of it

http://fortune.com/2015/03/11/united-nations-subsidy-chinese-shipping/

here

this is the system I ment

>Many developed countries, with higher postal costs in wages, services, or infrastructure, actually lose money on each piece of mail sent to them internationally.

post offices here in west lose money everytime chink sends you a package

because work and space is so expensive in west

then i make it up in taxes

chink'd once again

yea das tru

your government is paying for your cheap chink shit

so better buy up

Tbh I don't feel too bad considering that the UK got rich intentionally hooking the chinks on opium

Glasgow wouldn't exist without them buying it up

Every chink shit I buy and cancerous fume I inhale from it is reparations

are there any actual benefits to those

i just leave mine on my glass desk or top of computer tray

looks neater I guess, I'm trying to not look like a slob these days

used to be the classic shitty battlestation guy with piles of crap around my desk

im surrounded by dirty pans and empty milk jugs

i lost my forks a couple of weeks ago and i've just been eating with my fingers

couldnt find any forks on ali or gear

except wooden ones

how do you lose several forks???

i had three when i moved in

i managed to lose all of them over a month

idk how

voodoo

thrift shops usually have a box for a few pennies

Those forks are probably still in whatever place you're in

i know but i've looked everywhere

multiple times

>surrounded by mess he hasn't cleaned
>thinks he's looked everywhere

just buy more, eating with your hands is rough

do you live alone?

yeah
