[00:13] <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?
[00:14] <enbloc^> I do have a 3.0.0 low latency kernel installed today, and I didn't do it manually

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