Hey @HEKTIK you're an audio autist right, how would I go about being able to plug my electric guitar into my pc to record?

2017-10-27 10:00:26 UTC  

buy an interface

2017-10-27 10:00:29 UTC  

a used 2i2 will work well

2017-10-27 10:00:44 UTC  

tho apparently the second gen does instrument input way better

2017-10-27 10:01:43 UTC  
2017-10-27 10:02:13 UTC  

@Asse i honestly have no idea how to figure out if its i2s input or out tbh

2017-10-27 10:02:27 UTC  

youre probably best to just buy the dac i linked before and not deal with all the fuckery

2017-10-27 10:07:03 UTC  

do i need something additional or can i just buy as it is and it works?

2017-10-27 10:07:12 UTC  

and what usb type does it use

2017-10-27 10:07:55 UTC  

the sabre dac thing i linked earlier?

2017-10-27 10:08:00 UTC  

all you need is a micro USB cable

2017-10-27 10:08:38 UTC  

yeah the sabre

2017-10-27 10:08:49 UTC  

thought input looked like type c

2017-10-27 10:09:00 UTC  

nah its an upside down micro usb lol

2017-10-27 10:11:30 UTC  

if i were to put this in a tin box would i need some electrical tape so the circuit doesnt short?

2017-10-27 10:11:42 UTC  

yeah it'd be best

2017-10-27 10:11:46 UTC  

or any material really

2017-10-27 10:11:56 UTC  

you could just use some foam or something

2017-10-27 10:12:07 UTC  

id actually suggest double sided tape so it doesnt slide about

2017-10-27 10:12:15 UTC  

i used that with some kapton

2017-10-27 10:14:14 UTC  

so i just have the dac on some double sided foam tape?

2017-10-27 10:14:33 UTC  

yeah

2017-10-27 10:14:40 UTC  

youll have to drill some holes tho

2017-10-27 10:14:43 UTC  

but that should be fine

2017-10-27 10:14:58 UTC  

yeah that shouldnt be a problem

2017-10-27 10:15:27 UTC  

youre either going to have the micro USB or the 3.5mm recessed into the housing tho unless you find something perfectly sized

2017-10-27 10:15:58 UTC  

id reccomend getting a panel mount 3.5 and soldering from it to the underside of the 3.5 already installed

2017-10-27 10:16:11 UTC  

unless you dont really care

2017-10-27 10:18:27 UTC  

I was thinking of ways to attach my dac to my phone when I had my OnePlus

2017-10-27 10:18:36 UTC  

I realised that Velcro would be a good option

2017-10-27 10:18:40 UTC  

yeah

2017-10-27 10:18:44 UTC  

velcro is good for phones

2017-10-27 11:33:30 UTC  

hey i need help with findin earbuds. <$30 w/ good bass and treble

2017-10-27 11:38:22 UTC  

earbuds or iems?

2017-10-27 11:42:05 UTC  

iems, my bad

2017-10-27 11:55:09 UTC  

What do you mean "good bass and treble"?

2017-10-27 11:55:16 UTC  

you mean as in more proiminent than mids?

2017-10-27 11:55:24 UTC  

"good" doesn't really mean much alone

2017-10-27 12:01:08 UTC  

im split between the MEMT X5 and ROCK Zircon

2017-10-27 12:04:59 UTC  

Rock zircons have much more prominent treble
