[00:13] 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? [00:14] I do have a 3.0.0 low latency kernel installed today, and I didn't do it manually [00:14] natty [00:46] Hey holstein [00:46] You like unity? [01:17] Hi [02:11] FloatingGoat: hello [02:11] i do not use unity [02:12] i like the idea of it, it just seems to be answering a question im not asking [02:16] Haha [03:48] Holstein [03:48] Might be gettin a mxl new for 50 [03:49] not bad [03:49] And then imma look at a shure sm58 [03:49] 58 is probably a better first mic [03:50] if you only had one mic... might should be a 58 or a 57 [03:50] i like the beta series a lot [03:50] the beta 58 is very nice... [04:01] Ill see what goes down. But I want to get the mxl and the sshure. [04:01] I'm glad you like the shure though [04:02] well, the shure 57's and 58's are industry standards [04:02] typically *not* for recording though [04:02] still, if it were my money, i would rather have a 57 than a $50 condenser mic [04:02] but, ive already heard both [04:02] used them [04:03] live and for recording purposes [04:03] Well a professional I just talked to told me it'd be good so ill check it out. [04:03] FloatingGoat: what would be good? [04:04] a professional what? [04:04] the MXL $50 condenser would be good? [04:04] it will most definitely *not* be good [04:04] it will be tolerable at best [04:04] a 57 is really good at what it does [04:04] Musiscian. He was reaally good. Well he suggested the shure sm58 that's why I brought it up [04:04] works as advertise [04:05] d [04:05] FloatingGoat: if you have a local recording studio, ask to take a tour [04:05] there are brands you will *not* see in a studio [04:05] mxl is one of those brands [04:05] And then he told.mw he'd sell.me an mxl [04:05] I want two mica [04:06] FloatingGoat: lol [04:06] why do you think he's selling that mxl ;0 [04:06] anyways.. do what you want [04:06] In my studio you'll see it! :D [04:06] And 50 bucks is nothin so id [04:06] im just telling you... i have personally purchased simliar technology [04:06] and all i can say is... dont wast your money [04:07] put that $50 with $50 more and get a 57 [04:07] Itt would bye good for secondary and backup [04:07] FloatingGoat: the only thing that mic is going to be "good" for is a paper weight [04:07] it'll be tolerable at best [04:07] And add 50 dollars andni got a good mic.with an okay mic [04:08] that at2020 is resonable [04:08] the rodeNT1A too [04:08] anyways.. [04:08] I've heard an mxl and I don't exactly hate it [04:09] I don't want to sell my kidney for a mic lol [04:09] sure... its better than a sharp stick in the eye [04:09] its just... a rodeNT1a is not *that* much more [04:09] especially if you dont waste that $50 [04:09] How much? [04:09] i can only speak from experince FloatingGoat [04:10] if you dont like your current gear, and want better quality stuff [04:10] get better stuff [04:10] Yeah I trust you mate [04:10] i purchased a lot of interfaces [04:10] they didnt work out [04:10] same rationale [04:10] "well, its just $80" [04:10] "hey, $250... maybe that'll do" [04:10] nope [04:11] i like the interface i paid $400 for [04:11] but, im not doen shopping [04:11] i feel like the 57 i have, i'll always use for something [04:11] the condenser mic i bought years ago for $150 [04:11] some *much* higher end MXL [04:12] i gave to a friend in a trade ASAP [04:12] What's up with the stars? [04:12] FloatingGoat: if i saw that MXL mic for $20 used, i would get it... maybe [04:13] if i needed a condenser mic... outside or something [04:13] FloatingGoat: stars? [04:14] Yeah the *stars* [04:14] FloatingGoat: you see the *difference* [04:14] makes it *bold* [04:14] _underlined_ [04:15] this is the mic i had [04:15] http://www.mxlmics.com/products/Studio_mics/V67g/v67g.html [04:15] its much cheaper now i see... [04:16] Naw it doesn't maake it bold.for.me lol [04:16] that was the first and last MXL mic i'll ever own, unless i trip on one going out the door or something [04:16] I wish I coulld seen I'm on phone [04:17] J [04:20] Sorry [11:19] hello! [15:24] nightlingo: hey [15:46] Hi
