Personally, I will stick to separates but does this particularly appeal to anyone on here?

Hey in case you haven't got anything yet, I'll throw in my few cents.

Mic wise, I would get a dedicated microphone. When buying a headset usually the money goes into the headphones and the mic is just an add-on. I have a mic that requires an actual audio interface to run but I'd get something like a blue yeti or a Audio Technica AT2020 (USB). If you want something clip on I'd look at the mod-mic, maybe a little pricey though.

Headphones wise, I can only really talk about what I use for gaming which is a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770s. They are closed back but are really nice all the same. A friend has a pair of DT990s which are open back so that may be more your thing.

Hope that helps.

Hi! Thanks for posting.

TL;DR Yes! Monitor speakers will be a huge step up. Never tried the PreSonus Eris range. Shop around a bit first to look at alternatives.

Going from built-in TV speakers to a dedicated system will be a huge improvement almost no matter what you get. Now the fact you are looking at monitor speakers in particular PreSonus's range tells me you are looking for something for mixing/mastering.

With that in mind, I've never tried the PreSonus Eris range so I can't comment on their quality. However, for a huge leap up (not in price), I would recommend KRK classic 5s or a pair of Focal Alpha 50s as a nicer starter to you audio production journey.

Shop around a bit. There are some really good guides out their for finding the correct studio monitors for you. Hope that helps!

I used to use Fairmail but now I'm strongly on the Canary Mail bandwagon

Signal, Firefox, ReadEra (best EBook reader for Android hands down)

Honourable mentions to OLauncher. Super clean UI that makes my phone less distracting and easy to use

No. There's an adult/s that use their kid to make millions of dollars.

An all time favourite of mine is a song called Radiologue by OSI. The entire album 'Blood' is well worth a listen too.

Hmm. I can't upvote

 

Hi all. I really want to use Wefwef on my phone with Firefox, but I'm not seeing an option to install it. Am I missing something?

Over the years, I have developed a collection of songs that I use to test systems. From transient response to songs I just know well, here's a handful of them:

Around the World - Daft Punk

Billie Jean - Michael Jackson

You Got Me - The Roots

September - Earth, Wind and Fire

Dragonball Durag - Thundercat

A Villain's Monologue - Blood Command

Bangarang - Skrillex

Fast Car - Tracy Chapman (Self titled)

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

Any songs I need to add to my collection? What do you use?

I'm in the market for my first real pair of headphones for just listening to music. I've had a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770s for mixing, but now I want something to step my game up.

I've been looking at the Focal Clear MGs and I'm even curious of some Grados.

What do you have?

I just went to a lecture where the lecturer was explaining a way to measure the response of a accoustic guitar with an exciter on the bridge and a method called the exponential sine sweep method.

He was suggesting that you could measure and then replicate a guitars response onto another guitar and using this you could make far more accurate replicas. This could be used to preserve the sounds of old famous guitars.

My question to this community is would consider buying a guitar based on a graph of its frequency response and how that compared to other guitars? Is this valuable research?

 

I'll start: Dwarf Fortress. Not found anything close.

 

I had just finished blasting a 06:15 gym class and was absolutely exhausted. For some reason, I thought its a good idea to mention it's my birthday this week and immediately my PT stops and he has a certain look on his face. My PT is a lovely guy, but he's up for a bit of banter. He asks me if I've ever heard of Birthday Burpees. I say no, and he asks if I'm down for a challenge.

I'm writing this 50 Burpees later (rounded and doubled for my age because "he likes round numbers), lying on the floor struggling to type because of the sweat.

God I'm unfit :)

TL;DR Don't say yes to birthday burpees
