enbloc^some PPA I'm on (studio related in some fashion) upgraded my kernel to 3.0 and broke all kinds of stuff. Ring any bells with folks here?00:13
enbloc^I do have a 3.0.0 low latency kernel installed today, and I didn't do it manually00:14

FloatingGoatHaha02:16
FloatingGoatHolstein03:48
FloatingGoatMight be gettin a mxl new for 5003:48
holsteinnot bad03:49
FloatingGoatAnd then imma look at a shure sm5803:49
holstein58 is probably a better first mic03:49
holsteinif you only had one mic... might should be a 58 or a 5703:50
holsteini like the beta series a lot03:50
holsteinthe beta 58 is very nice...03:50
FloatingGoatIll see what goes down. But I want to get the mxl and the sshure.04:01
FloatingGoatI'm glad you like the shure though04:01
holsteinwell, the shure 57's and 58's are industry standards04:02
holsteintypically *not* for recording though04:02
holsteinstill, if it were my money, i would rather have a 57 than a $50 condenser mic04:02
holsteinbut, ive already heard both04:02
holsteinused them04:02
holsteinlive and for recording purposes04:03
FloatingGoatWell a professional I just talked to told me it'd be good so ill check it out.04:03
holsteinFloatingGoat: what would be good?04:03
holsteina professional what?04:04
holsteinthe MXL $50 condenser would be good?04:04
holsteinit will most definitely *not* be good04:04
holsteinit will be tolerable at best04:04
holsteina 57 is really good at what it does04:04
FloatingGoatMusiscian. He was reaally good. Well he suggested the shure sm58 that's why I brought it up04:04
holsteinworks as advertise04:04
holsteind04:05
holsteinFloatingGoat: if you have a local recording studio, ask to take a tour04:05
holsteinthere are brands you will *not* see in a studio04:05

FloatingGoatAnd then he told.mw he'd sell.me an mxl04:05

holsteinim just telling you... i have personally purchased simliar technology04:06
holsteinand all i can say is... dont wast your money04:06
holsteinput that $50 with $50 more and get a 5704:07
FloatingGoatItt would bye good for secondary and backup04:07
holsteinFloatingGoat: the only thing that mic is going to be "good" for is a paper weight04:07
holsteinit'll be tolerable at best04:07
FloatingGoatAnd add 50 dollars andni got a good mic.with an okay mic04:07
holsteinthat at2020 is resonable04:08
holsteinthe rodeNT1A too04:08
holsteinanyways..04:08
FloatingGoatI've heard an mxl and I don't exactly hate it04:08
FloatingGoatI don't want to sell my kidney for a mic lol04:09
holsteinsure... its better than a sharp stick in the eye04:09
holsteinits just... a rodeNT1a is not *that* much more04:09
holsteinespecially if you dont waste that $5004:09
