Help me choose a studio type microphone to record vocals. Just Youtube/podcast and some rapping. ChatGPT says real equipment is tens of thousands. So that's out. For like $500 or less GPT suggested some but idk what i'm doing: Lewitt LCT 440 PURE, sE2200, WA-47 Jr, NT1, and AT4040 🤔

I'd just use some atomic/immutable OS and call it quits.

Yknow, I have two friends that switched to linux within the last year, and both of them, 80% of the time we wanna play something or just hang out in a discord group call, they have to fix a random audio driver or mic input or, for gaming, sudden frame drops to below 20fps that I never experience in the same game and whatnot

Conversely, as for the ancient hardware... What about the CCFL backlight, what about the IDE controller, what about that RAM, can it cache whatever modern applications throw at it? And can you tmpfs your way out of it all?

I'm just giggling here as I come back from standardization bodies, so as good a reason as any! 🤭

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that but yeah it does make sense. At the time, I used Audacity, and quit the gig before the actual voice-over was to be done. The whole thing was quite a bit too shady to my liking, not to mention that they kept rejecting the outline submissions and changing requirements. I got the mic, but only use it for things like Telegram calls now (where I don't really need monitoring). But I remember for a broadcasting idea (also on Telegram), that it became an issue. What I wanted was for the monitoring to be as close to the mic as humanly possible, so that the latency isn't excessively bothersome. It's great that recording software picked up on it, but I wouldn't mind it being physically on the mic either if I had the choice. But even more choice in recording software, that's awesome! One of the gripes I had with the PulseAudio solution, was that it's Linux-specific and that it wasn't exactly straightforward either.

What I got is a Blue Snowball on recommendation of a gig I did years ago, as well as a Samson SR850 (a 50-buck headphone) on that guy's recommendation. Little bit of regret for the Snowball, not because it's bad (it's really good!), but because it doesn't have a headphone output. So you can't really listen to your own recording with it, because of latency from going through all those different system layers. The closest you can get without that headphone jack, is to loop it with PulseAudio. If I had seen that video before I did the gig, I think I would've picked the Samson mic instead.

funny thing about nostalgia is how everyone ignores how painfully slow everything was

Unless you enjoy fixing it up, use whatever more comfortable to you.

For me, Linux is a vey big unfinished construction site of an OS and I'm not gonna spend my free time every day trying to fix it

The other day I received an email from such standardization body, mentioning anecdotal evidence that someone in our circles brought an MS-DOS 5.0 laptop to a conference... How much I'd give to see that thing in person!

That's the real challenge, isn't it? Can it handle more than 4GB memory, can it handle SSE2, can it handle.. modernity?

But now I'm actually thinking about using it on modern hardware.
