Hi, I do recordings iwht my mic. That's all. Dsp would be nice to have.
I tested several interfaces. Nothjing cam ecloose to the sound i got froim the neumann mt48 unforutnatly. Unfortunately bc the mt48 has coil whine, all their units have. So im looking for an alternative.
Pls help.
 
This is practically the industry standard for excellent, affordable interfaces with DSP (unless you are in the Universal Audio ecosystem):


RME also has some great options.
 
I guess the more budget friendly all about the same im still wanting to get a steinberg or beheringer...they said the scarlett quits but idk........the steinberg looks like has nice xlr. i'm more budgeted though..you get what you pay for....well ill need to restring the fsr like strat sooner than i wanted..broke the ball on high e..the ball pops at the bridge still. i got my 2mm allen for the saddles too...im in no big hurry havent done the diode test through the tip142 fet yet but resistane looks high through the source terminal like 6.4megs..they are worn fets but not bad and still holding my 300mv bias..got a battery for my other meter id rather tear it up than my nice fluke CE thing. fender 250L lights are on sale i wanted daddarios but there on sale still a good hexcore i liked em on my js1000 470 strat but it rotted out real bad and the neck was warped snd idk ibanez basswood isn't that warm sometimes anyways. good gear update...ill measure bias with my other kit meter or something tech cool take some pics.

my kit amazon meter might be more accurate idk on the 2v setting i just got a .825 reading on the bias pot..thats saying like 40ma idle current so cool...its one of them things using tools i got would take better pictures but i can't tether with my phone gotta login and remmber passwords all that stuff. That ce meter kept trying to say 30ma...i'm thinking it will hunt 40-50ma ez though that age..it drawing more sounds more accurate to me..i'm thinking its 40ma how the pot is positioned. cool.

it sounds like noise feedback with 60-70ma though so the wear is significant...youd swear its like fixing that stuff too...I would try the steinberg though or one that looks quiet i havent gotten none of it how better to good of a mic you could still run to keep it all quiet, I want 140dollar mic something else on the analog world don't feel like fixing. i'm liking the 2v kit meter what it told me though that was more of an analog reading that .825. idk thats still like fixing some reciever stuff what your talking about or the new norm is some 800 dollar axeFX rack thing and just no feel like fixing more rack stuff..but id admit got a couple good meters to chase it all.

Some more lo-fi good DIYer stuff i don't mind. no big hurry the wear is enough with cross bleed you could still change more parts out how bad crossbleed can get.
 
Guys, don't waste your time. He started the same thread a couple of months back. 7 pages of complaining that one interface sounds sibilant, quoting subjective reviews, ignoring objective data, etc. and everyone gave up on him. The last post in the thread sums it up well. Just leave him to his delusions and ignore him.
 
I may be guilty of having such 'typoz' stroke at times but I try to cleanse my posts of them.
It's a decorum, and it's worth trying to uphold, here at ASR.
yeah I'm no stickler and don't mind some typos, but this OP is so sloppy as to be insulting: "I'm not willing to exert even a tiny bit of effort; now help me" lmao
