Re: Good Quality Microphone for Podcasts compatible with OpenBSD

2019-08-15 Thread Thomas Frohwein
I've been doing screencasts to Twitch from OpenBSD that improved significantly 
with the Samson Meteor Mic, a USB Mic. No compatibility issues there, and I'm 
very pleased with the quality.

I have an AKG p170 and an AudioTechnica ATM 610. I also have a Nady audio TMP-1 
preamp I found at a pawn shop.

I used ardour when recording on linux. I haven't yet decided what I like best 
on OpenBSD.

Can you please post the mixerctl -av of that?

Have you tried (re)mapping the outputs
with mixerctl's *_source variables?

Oh! If I may bug, what Focusrite Scarlett interface is that?
Also what doesn't work under OpenBSD for that device?

Just curious.

Thanks,

I personally have the 18i8 interface. What doesn't work is the proprietary 
software that comes with it. The interface works fine as an interface without 
the software. The software is needed to remap the outputs and change a couple 
of internal settings. When they are changed on a Windows box the settings are 
saved internally and persist between OSes.



What are your microphones into the preamp and what software are you 
using to record on OpenBSD?

At a minimum, just spoken voice and pipe it to Skype and another web app that 
collects different podcast participant's audio. 

I use a Blue Yeti, but that's on Windows. ;-)

Hi All,

just wondering any of you audiophiles who use OpenBSD  do you have
recommended   Microphones / Sound cards / data acquisition interfaces
that would work well with OpenBSD...
any recommendations suggestions welcome ... Sound is not something
I have messed much with OpenBSD... and I may as well ask people in the
know
