Almost half past six in the evening, time to get up from the sofa, dragging my elephant's head with its ugly cold to the workshop and get a few things done…

… quick test of this #Mackie #Onyx mixer, it seems to work well as an audio interface with #Pipewire on #Linux via USB.

Shows up as 8 inputs and 4 outputs when set to use the “pro audio” profile.

Not the type of mixer I usually use, but a client of mine needed something with built-in bluetooth receiver and built-in power supply.

How problematic is resampling audio from 44.1 to 48 kHz?

Kevin Boone: How problematic is resampling audio from 44.1 to 48 kHz?

Audio CDs were recorded using a 44.1 kHz sample rate that is found almost nowhere else. If we have to resample this audio to suit more modern equipment, how much loss of audio quality will there be?

"Portable" #recording equipment used in #Britain for #film making in 1953 - it could use either 35mm or 17,5mm magnetic film (better #sound quality than optical recording), could be synchronised to the film camera, and easily transportable in a private car (presumably by two fairly strong people, as the recording unit alone would weigh north of 40 kg, there was a mixer and amplifier to go with it) - and it would fill the boot and probably the back seats too of most cars available in those times

Power was a choice of 230V single phase or 400V three phase mains (so a location shoot would require a genset as well)

Unser Maximilian Diehl war bei unserem Auftritt im Journal in Kehl (organisiert von Elsass Alest) natürlich mit seinem ALLEN & HEATH Mischpult dabei, hat wieder für den perfekten Sound gesorgt und erneut bewiesen, dass er für uns ein unverzichtbares Bandmitglied ist! 🤘❤️‍🔥

Contrary to what you may believe however, Mackie doesn't deliver its microphones in a beautiful 'flight case' that I've showcased the EM89D in.

Instead you get a plane Jane cardboard box that I've just photographed, in which the microphone normally resides.

Even TASCAM delivers its fantastic amazing microphones in plane Jane cardboard boxes.

Shure tops the charts with ugly cardboard boxes for its magnífico microphones. The boxes in which I got my SM58s are so ugly I'm not even going to photograph them.

Credit goes to Behringer who delivers it's microphones like the XM8500 in a flightcase. The XM8500 microphone has good use cases here. It's also a fraction of the cost of the EM89D, and a sliver of the cost of the Legendary Shure SM58.

Never let the low/high price of a microphone fool you. Buy it, if it captures your sound Source nice, and you will find good to fantastic use cases for many microphones which are categorized as cheap.

Sets of fantastic microphones for example are AKG matched pair condenser mics. They are fantastic for me because I have great use cases for them; they're not fantastic because they have a substantial high price.

Thank you Behringer for packaging your microphones nicely and sturdy.
