    A budget studio mic for home recording?

    I just picked up a matched pair of Rode M5 for $200. They can be used for anything - from overheads to guitar amps to vocals if your "clients" aren't listening with their eyes AKA want the look of a large diaphragm condenser (I have a cheap MXL for those LOL).

    Low end video curtains

    I've been told the 9cm pitch ones aren't good for much but am looking at the 4.5cm pitch ones that sell for around $2.5K for a 2x3 meter. Have any of youse guys checked them out? Even at that pitch they are only ~65x45 pixels. You rarely see an example of a photo on one LOL. Obviously for...

    X-Air internal AP FUBARness

    Hmm... the internal AP only supports WEP "shared key" and Windows 8 and above only supports the more secure WEP "open system". So you can't connect from Windows 8 or 10. Good one Behringer x(~:dead::roll:8O~8-O~:shock::razz::thumbdown:

    SPL Alarm iPad/iPhone App ?

    So, today I figured I'd search out and buy an iDevice app that shows the SPL in the biggest posible numbers and flashes the screen red (or something similar) when a set SPL is exceeded. Sounds like an obvious app to make, right? Well, so far I can't find one :( . Has anyone come across one? Thanks!

    X-Air

    I haven't seen much comment on the X-Air. The demo iPad app has some great features ("borrowed" from the Mackie DL1608 app ;) ?) but lacks some important stuff. Who's gonna buy a digital mixer who's app lacks scribble strips :roll: ? Are you supposed to put board tape on your iPad :lol: ? Many...

    Cheap lasers not legal?

    A band I sometimes provide for has two of them cheap banjo center RG laser effects they aim at the dance floor. So I figured I'd order a couple up from fleaBay for $15 each shipped. They are pretty similar - 100mw red and 50mw green lasers. Question is how is it possible to operate these without...

    Phonic WM-SYS4-863 legal?

    This is a wireless audio link operating on two separate channels out of 16 switchable pairs in the 863-865 MHz band. Phonic claims it's legal in the USA but they are being blown out for $300 ($800 MSRP) . Has anyone here ever used one or have a definitive answer as to it's legality?

    Mackie User Forums shut down since 1/4

    Doesn't look good for them returning - dealing with all them bitchy customers was too much for them I guess :( . Anyways there's an unofficial user's group for the DL1608 over here: dl1608 : DL1608
