I need an ad converter
I have a Yamaha 2404 console and need an ad converter with about 16 channels. Iv seen a lot of converters and audio interfaces but most only have 8 inputs or are very expensive. I'm looking for something that has around 16 line inputs, at least 2 outputs, and a way to connect it to my computer (MacBook Pro). I'm looking for something used so I can get it cheaper.

Spotting a counterfeit SM58
As a public service to RO and its potential visitors, I thought I'd research this topic and post a thread explaining the differences between real Shure SM58 mics and counterfeit models. In the last few years, a serious number of fake 58's have hit the global market. This isn't a myth, these fake mics are indeed out there, so here are some things to look for:

Acoustic Designer John H Brandt's YouTube channel
hey guys. Ran across this while I was surfing the web. John has a good set of papers, and great acoustic calculators on his site. I made sure to save them in my spreadsheet program. I haven't watched them all yet, but I'm watching a few right now.
DIY Mic - where do I buy parts ?
Hi gang,
Some of you know I did try a kit of microphone-parts.com
I ran to a few problem with the kit. It didn't work and after a great help doing a dozen test I ordered another circuit without the transformer.
I build the new circuit and got the same results.. so I'm in need of another transformer.
It's a small 6.5 : 1 output transformer.

Weird background noise in select programs that i need
Hello i am getting into streaming and i have ran into a problem when i try to stream footage the audio has a load of background noise and i haven't been able to fix it. I have tested my microphone on REAPER and it works flawlessly. I am running a Superlux E205 high diaphragm cardoid condenser microphone that is going through a Tascam US-122mk II Audio interface

microphone to record a violin?
Ok so I play a lot and would love to record. Recording is also great for practice. However there are SO many different types of microphones from large diaphragm condensers to tube mics to ribbon mics and it gets overwhelming. I am looking for something that will sound closest to whatever Perlman uses. I have a fairly small room to record in that I could load with acoustic foam if it helps.

Should I go portable?
I've already bought a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (4 preamps and USB) for £250 off amazon. I am still within my return window. Should I instead return that and get a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40, second hand, off eBay for around £200, although it works out at around the same price due to the cost of a FireWire cable and the £25 FireWire to Thunderbolt adapter?

question about the pan law
Hello everyone, just wanted to know what pan law you guys are using for mixing. Is there a preferred pan law for music mixing? I admit of having a less than suitable environment to make out pans and levels precisely and can depend on meters only so much. (heavily rely on headphones)

Double-glazed laminated, or triple-glazed non-laminated?
Hi folks,
I'm building a drum room in my garden, and we are at the stage of deciding on the windows. We are faced with the choice for the outer window with either standard double glazing but with laminated glass panes, or triple glazing with unlaminated panes. The company have stated that the triple-glazed laminate panes would be too heavy and not practical.
