Re: Best USB Mike

<<<look rather quiet on-screen.>>> Quiet On Screen can happen when you're looking at percentage waveforms. Percentage works OK in video, but audio tends to have problems with that.

<<<toggled the +20dB button>>> All delightful things to do to an analog microphone, which the Samson and Thomann are not. The down side (one of many) of a USB microphone is that the MicPre and Analog to Digital converter are all folded into the microphone body. You get a finished, encoded performanc...

Re: Testers needed - Considering "fix" for CTRL and CMD fias
