Re: horus: the invisible made audio, please please read and share
Hi Folks, Considering all of the attention pertaining to awareness and accessibility, indeed, there should have been descriptive video, an (audio track) inserted. I think that they honestly should have thought about that and included it.

To me the longlasting battery isn't as important as other features. Saving information and clearly putting it to something the device picks up, seems to me rather difficult. How do we know, i.e. who or what exactly we're looking at? It's also quite difficult, I find, with all the audio information we have to pick up already.

Re: need helping with humming on blue yeti pro.
Hi Angel and Everyone, I was waiting to see if someone would bring this up. Yes, you will still get a hum because the boom arm is attached to the desk. And, yes, I am hoping, if you want to use a boom, that there is one specifically for the Blue Yeti. It is a Heavy and Expensive Mic, and I, myself, would not use a boom. I would sit it, as has been previously suggested, on a piece of foam. Now, if you do not have foam, you might be able to use a soft covered Braille book instead. I also would not detach the Yeti from the desk stand. The desk stand is quite sturdy, and meant to hold this Expensive Professional Mic. I hope that this helps.

Whatever mic you are using you will get this problem if its sitting directly above the computer. I've moved my Rode mic over to another purch to the side of the desk, and though its not very convenient it cuts down the hum and vibration quite a bit. I speak pretty close to the mic without encouraging pops. Sometimes I use a bit of base roll-off in the audio editor. One more thing which can help is a mic shock mount, which should isolate the mic from stand-borne noise. Hope some of that helps.

Re: need helping with humming on blue yeti pro.
Hi, I guess I have been fortunate with this particular mouse pad. The microphone is heavy, so care needs to be taken that it is stable. Movement even makes noise.
