sounds horrible

2016-08-09 23:30:21 UTC  

if a somake would beat the cable

2016-08-09 23:30:32 UTC  

It's comparable

2016-08-09 23:30:42 UTC  

but a somake is far cheaper

2016-08-09 23:30:55 UTC  

And it turns your mic volume to 9000%

2016-08-09 23:31:16 UTC  

So it sounds loud

2016-08-09 23:31:41 UTC  

I only noticed the flat scratchy effect once I got into audio production

2016-08-09 23:31:48 UTC  

Then binned the somake

2016-08-09 23:32:16 UTC  

Made a joke video using somake but took it down because no one got it

2016-08-09 23:32:58 UTC  

I wasn't talking about the cables, no. I meant an external dac that was also a phantom power supply.

2016-08-09 23:33:10 UTC  

Presonus is cheapest

2016-08-09 23:33:17 UTC  

Then Focusrite and up

2016-08-09 23:33:31 UTC  

For a DAC/48V Phantom Power

2016-08-09 23:34:03 UTC  

The behringer one isn't a dac as far as I can tell, just a mixer

2016-08-09 23:34:36 UTC  

yeah, seems like an amplifier

2016-08-09 23:34:47 UTC  

Even that would be fine, actually. Get hardware amplification over software.

You can get one of those cheap, it's the first to have dedicated drivers which improve your PC audio

2016-08-09 23:35:28 UTC  

100$. Figured

2016-08-09 23:35:35 UTC  

Go used

2016-08-09 23:35:40 UTC  

wait this should probably be in shitposting

2016-08-09 23:35:49 UTC  

Nobody should be buying audio gear new

2016-08-09 23:36:04 UTC  

My DAC supports ASIO

2016-08-09 23:36:08 UTC  

But come on, that's bad

2016-08-09 23:36:19 UTC  

Yeah ASIO is bottom tier

2016-08-09 23:36:27 UTC  

Presonus up its dedicated drivers

2016-08-09 23:36:38 UTC  

The one I sold was ASIO

2016-08-09 23:37:10 UTC  

A DAC doesn't automatically mean the sound is better using it

2016-08-09 23:37:13 UTC  

Well, the driver does work with like 2ms delay

2016-08-09 23:37:20 UTC  

It needs some kind of driver replacement

2016-08-09 23:37:25 UTC  

Yeah that's the only benefit really

2016-08-09 23:37:28 UTC  

No latency

2016-08-09 23:37:43 UTC  

Useful but not as good as audio overhaul

2016-08-09 23:37:51 UTC  

I ended up just using the auto drivers windows installed

2016-08-09 23:39:03 UTC  

Then there's no benefit other than the ports

2016-08-09 23:39:09 UTC  

And latency

2016-08-09 23:39:49 UTC  

I just want to move to one box

2016-08-09 23:40:04 UTC  

Got chink phantom power into mains, audio interface usb in to PC

2016-08-09 23:40:14 UTC  

3 xlr cables

2016-08-09 23:40:19 UTC  

Got too much

2016-08-09 23:40:22 UTC  

Yeah, that's a lot.
