Want to be on the Podcast?

We're taking another crack at the "Open Mic" format this weekend, hopefully with a bit more structure than last time. We'll be talking about any significant Minecraft news (if any comes up) but most of the talk will be server orientated, as that seems to be what most of you would like more of, so probably a lot of new spawn talk, new hardware, the map expansion, etc.
If you want to get on the podcast, be on Teamspeak this Saturday (April 14th) around 9pm UK time. We usually manage to start recording by 10pm, and usually finish up a little after 11, so be around those times.

We've been assured there are unlikely to be any icebergs in CFUK waters at the time Podcast #5 sets sail.
There may be bad jokes, awkward silences and Qotsa, though.

Re: Want to be on the Podcast?
beagrie, Tue Apr 10 2012, 11:15PM
Some of the podcasters have permissions to move people in and out of the podcast room.

Re:

I had this one;
But it's faulty, so I bought this one;
But that one needs a phantom power supply, so I also had to buy this;
And now my Friday night is going to involve a lot of playing with shiny new toys.

Heh condensor mics beagrie? Should be hearing you nice and crispyly in this next one
I thought phantom power was only really needed for propper studio mics. unless thats what youve got

Qotsa_101
It is a condenser, yeah. The problem I was having is that the first mic, the C1-U, is supposed to be identical to the C1, but USB. So while the C1 plugs into an XLR port and needs phantom power, the C1-U should, in theory, just plug into a USB port, get its power from the computer directly, and deliver studio quality audio with no more setting up than a normal desktop mic would.
Unfortunately, it behaved like it wasn't getting any phantom power, so the audio was so quiet that I had to boost the signal so far to hear my voice that it picked up a lot of background fuzz, which rather defied the point of having a fancy mic.
To answer your question, Naske, I don't know if any of the others have studio quality mics, but it's not necessary. The only reason I'm spending this much on recording equipment is because I have other projects coming up that need it.
Re: Want to be on the Podcast?
naske5, Fri Apr 13 2012, 07:42PM
uhhhhhh other projects :o
Re: Want to be on the Podcast?
beagrie, Fri Apr 13 2012, 08:09PM
All that said... I've just set everything up and I can't get an f-ing signal from the mic. If either or both of these faulty in some way, someone at Behringer is going to get an ear full.

What have you done?
Re:

beagrie, Fri Apr 13 2012, 10:20PM
Right. It's the mixer. It's packed up and ready for shipping back to Amazon on Monday, and they have refunded me, so it's replacement is now ordered;
Unfortunately, it means I'll be stuck with same old noise-ridden mic for next podcast.

Re: Want to be on the Podcast?
