I didn't want to step on anybody's thread but I just read one on which someone said ; gear doesn't make good recording, performance does.

I just have enough of those 'What's the most important thing' threads.
So lets just discuss it once and stop the future arguments!

I'm using the Blue Yeti and I noticed a lot of hissing sound from the mic. I could use programs to filter it out, but I think it's better to solve the problem from the root. I have a good feeling the hissing sound is coming from feedback from the computer, it's plugged into the "crappy" RealTek one that's stock with most computers.

condition:
1) indoor dance studio about 10m x 10m
2) record conversation (not operator speech)
3) peoples will not always stay on a spot
4) Lavalier mic is not possible
5) env noise is acceptable
6) mount on ceiling at center OR tripod outside the 10m x 10m
7) connect to a small USB mixer (recording to computer)

Hey all, I was just wondering at what point you considered yourself a pro sound person? This field seems to have the largest grey area as far as what actually defines a pro. It's pretty cut and dry in athletics, and most other things that use this distinction.

Hey all, I've notice recently that at some point within the first year of use, my and even my friends, consumer electronnics power amps/speakers seem to fade or settled down a bit. Whether it so my phone, my home theater, and recently my iPad, it seems to me that it takes a couple of extra notches on the volume dial, to get bit to the comfortable level I was used to initially.

Hello All,

Hello all-

New here but have been on duc/gs for years. Happy to find a specific place for studio/music business discussions...

Now it's time for something new

A nice short documentary about Scholz and his music/engineering life. About 10 minutes.
