Hey all you #PodcastersOfMastodon! I've just come into possession of a fantastic microphone, but beyond that am short of funds - so am wondering if anyone has any tips on good value XLR to USB cables (straight from dynamic mic into my Linux laptop) so I can make the most of this fabulous mic with minimal fuss (or hiss, haha). #podcasters#podcaster#podcasting#podcast#audio#AskFedi#Linux
@BeAware Thanks! Saw some reviews of cables claiming to convert but all seemed shitty and recommended a mixer. This could end up costing me quite a bit haha...
@BeAware For me, my whole life in guerilla media has treated tech as a means to an end, so I can't claim to be an audiophile haha, but the mic I got my hands on is neatly represented in my profile image: it's a Stagg chrome retro mic, um, MD-007 iirc. I'm barely scraping by right now but thankfully patrons have enabled me to buy bits of tech, piece by piece.
