Hello everyone,

I´m new into audio. I always just recorded one person so I had no problems. Now I have two persons in a dialogue with two mics.

I will have two audio tracks but the two microphones pick up what the other person says too. For example Person A talks and in the mic from the Person B you can hear Person A but 20-40% less dominant. I dont have a boom operator or can always turn down the other person. Do I need to cut out then the Person B mic ? My other following question is how do I do that if they interrupt themselves or talking both at the same time / laughing etc. Then I think its very hard to cut in between and turn off the other mic ?

Will this cause "long editing" for my understanding its like I cut a very long video twice. One time where I edit, cut etc. and the other time where I try to turn on and off the two mics ?

I would appreciate any help and answers.

Hi, I know nothing about audio stuff, but I got gifted a while ago a mic and an audio interface (the mic is t.bone SC 400 and the interface is ONYX Producer 2-2). I've been trying to record stuff but there's always this humming static I don't know how to get rid of. Here's a sample of what I mean (ignore the thumping, that's just me moving the mic away).

I work with a client who has severe traumatic brain injury. He can no longer sing or swallow, but was a musician before his injury. He has a 20+ old MP3 file of terrible quality that he wants to publish. I found a few apps that will clean up some of the noise, but they don’t appear to be worth the cost. Does anyone have any suggestions? He doesn’t have the money to get the assistance of a sound engineer or anything, we just want the quality to be better enough for him to publish. This is also the only audio recording of his voice. I appreciate your suggestions!

For the last two months, my DynAudio monitors have been making this static/crackling noise.

This started happening after I moved into my new apartment. I switched around the XLR cables, updated my focusrite audio drivers and plugged my monitors in different outlets and nothing changed.

The only thing I can think of is that during transport, they may have been exposed to heat from direct sunlight at certain points while they were in the truck in transportation, as I didn’t the original box or a box big enough to pack it in. I packed it in a plastic container. Anyways, does anyone know the cause and is this repairable? What should I do? Thank you!

Hi there! I’m looking to extend how far away I can place my two Pioneer speakers from my TransAudio amp. I understand that the cords to the left and right speaker need to be equidistant regardless of the spacing of the speakers to avoid any sound delay.

My main question is, can I use this modern generic speaker cord or do I need something more specific? If this cord is okay, I imagine I’ll have to also buy some sort of “head” to connect the cord to the devices?

Thank you in advance for any help!!

There's nothing to go off besides, the brand and the cable, i know very little about speakers and was wondering if these are passive or active or other, and would like to know if I need an amp or something to plug into my pc

I'm just starting to freelance as a singer and I was advised to buy the ES602 speaker from DB Technologies (https://www.dbtechnologies.com/us/products/discontinued-products/es-602#overview) for budget-ish friendly but a good quality sound system with a Shure SM58 microphone to use with it.

It took ages for my package to arrive and my return deadline has already passed. I spent a lot of money on this system and now that I finally have it I have come to find out that there is no way for me to manipulate the sound at all from the speaker. I was under the impression when I bought this speaker that it was a monitor with built-in reverb options that I could control but it has no option whatsoever to play around with the sound. As you might know as a singer I heavily rely on the reverb option to make my voice sound good in different spaces and more musical when I sing and there's no way for me to use this sound system as a singer if I can't add any reverb whatsoever. I live in a place where fast shipping is not a thing and it is very difficult to return products that you buy overseas so there's no way for me to return this system unfortunately.

I'm looking for a solution as to how I can fix this problem of mine so that I can continue to work as a singer. Whether it be a different speaker that I could buy after selling this one or if there's an external option that I could connect to my speaker. Anything that I can do that won't break my bank and won't make this purchase a meaningless waste of my money. Please I'm desperate.

I’m looking to add some kind of sound system in a walkout basement to cover approximately 1500sqft.

My mother and I recently purchased a home together with the intention of renovating the walkout basement into a suite for me as I have some pretty complex healthcare needs and am housebound/bedbound a lot of the time. Part of my issues include an auditory processing disorder which sets my nervous system on high alert when exposed to certain sounds and specific frequencies of mechanical hums like heat pumps and AC units tend to be major triggers. We’ll be doing a fair bit of soundproofing but it will only do so much so I’m looking to add a sound system that spans the entirety of the basement that I can use like a house wide white noise machine.

I’m not terribly concerned with amazing sound quality as I’ll be using it for medium to low background listening and I’ll never be playing it super loud because I don’t want to disturb the upstairs. At the moment the ceiling is a drop ceiling and that may or may not change but it will be completely open at some point so easy to put anything in. I’m open to something hardwired in to the ceiling itself or just in and/or on the walls. The big thing is being able to play it simultaneously in every room with sound coming from all areas. I’m thinking with the floor plan I’ll probably want about 15-20 speakers total. Ideally I’d like something I can control from my phone and would really prefer not to use systems like google home or Alexa.

Would getting several sets like this be an option? If they would do I need a different amplifier for every room and is there any way to connect them together?

I’m having an issue finding any references online to even estimate what I should budget for but I’m hoping to keep it between or even under 3 to 5k cad. Is that a reasonable budget?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing a strange issue with my Yamaha HS7 studio monitor. When I play certain C# notes on my guitar, I hear a noticeable buzzing or rattling sound coming from the monitor.
The noise seems to be triggered by specific notes rather than being a constant electrical hum.
Here’s a video demonstrating the issue:
https://youtube.com/shorts/962lJzl98Fo
Has anyone experienced something similar with the Yamaha HS7? Could this be a cabinet resonance, a loose component, a woofer issue, or something else?
What tests would you recommend to determine whether the problem is with the monitor itself or somewhere else in my audio chain?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all,

I can't get the audio work through my JVC control center, I'm using optical output from my Sony Bravia TV, and the front speakers. I shared the setup of the sound in the TV, am I doing something wrong?

Hi! So my BF has been engineering for about 8 years. He recently began LIVE engineering which he’s been working towards for a LONG TIME. I want to get him a gift he can keep forever to remember when he started his live engineering. I am thinking of getting him this. It wouldn’t say the golden ear tho… it would say “The happy Place goes live!” Then the date of his first live show. Does anyone have any other recommendations?? Something you’d like??

not a sound professional 😅 but I have a sony htrt3 subwoofer without any of the speakers they're at my parents place I have a random speaker so I was wondering if there was anyway I could play both of them simultaneously

Currently, I use Amazon Music. One of the features I like in the app is the ability to "connect" to an Echo (which is wired to my home stereo) and control it via the app. So I have full control and access to menus via my phone or tablet, but the actual playback is happening on the Echo. So even if I take the phone out of range or turn it off, the music is still playing via the Echo.

Unfortunately, I find the Amazon Music app to be fairly buggy. And since you can only stream to one device at a time, after using the Connect feature, there are often issues getting to see that you have disconnected and are not streaming anymore.

Are there other services/systems that have similar features to this and work well?

The headphones connect with all my other devices with no trouble, but it when i connect them with my laptop no sound comes out even if it appears as fully connected with both audio and microphone.

My laptop has no problem connecting with any other headphones or earphones so i dont really know whats wrong, my headphones are authentic and i tried updating the drivers but nothing changed.
It's a JBL LIVE 400BT, the laptop is a Dell G15

Hi everyone. Need some help and I wonder if anyone’s ever faced this problem before.

Turned on my monitors today and noticed that my left monitor does this weird thing with the bass cone. Tried playing some music but nothing, even on the tweeter. Right monitor’s working fine. Thought it could be a power or signal issue so I swapped both the IEC and 1/4 inch cables with my right monitor and still nothing.

Anyone ever faced this issue before?

I'm looking for some sort of solution for a microphone to use in my living room. I use my computer on my tv and have a wireless keyboard and mouse. I don't care if it picks up other people in the room, that would actually kind of be ideal, but just something that i can attach to my person or have on a table next to me. I use speakers for output, and i'm assuming that i can use software for echo reduction and stuff, but if there's a particular type of microphone that would be better for that let me know. Mostly just would be using it for voip.

Valeton GP-200 into Behringer XENYX Q1202USB into Alto TX412B — extremely quiet volume
Hi everyone, I’m trying to get my guitar setup working properly, but I’m having trouble with very low volume when running through my mixer.
My setup is:
Guitar → Valeton GP-200 → Behringer XENYX Q1202USB → Alto TX412B powered PA speaker
Connections:
Guitar plugged into the input of my Valeton GP-200.
Valeton GP-200 OUTPUT L/MONO connected to LINE IN channel 1 on the Behringer using a 1/4-inch jack cable.
Behringer MAIN OUT L connected to the LINE input on my Alto TX412B using a 1/4-inch jack cable.
My current settings and symptoms:
The signal meter on the Valeton is around medium.
The Valeton’s main volume is around medium.
On the Behringer, all channel 1 controls are around 12 o’clock, except the LEVEL knob, which is around 3 o’clock.
The channel 1 PAN knob is centred.
The MAIN MIX is set to 0.
The mixer power light is orange.
The +48V phantom power light was red/on, but I’ve been advised to turn phantom power off.
When I play guitar, only the right-hand L/R meter on the mixer flickers, showing around 1–2 green bars.
The sound coming out of the Alto is extremely quiet, even with the volume controls turned up.
If I connect the Valeton directly to the Alto, the sound is loud and normal.
I’ve also tried plugging into channel 2, but I didn’t get any signal.
I’m using 1/4-inch jack cables throughout.
What could be causing the low volume through the mixer? Could it be a gain-staging issue, a routing/button setting on the Q1202USB, a cable issue, or something faulty with the mixer?
Any help with the correct settings or troubleshooting steps would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I'm new to this page and I hope you guys may help me. My grammar is not good but I will try my best.

So I have this issue. When plugging a new headset with mic or A jacked mic. Like TNW-K16.

I'm using Asus Vivobook laptop and when plugging them I just hear some background noise like fans or anything and my voice are just like video recording. Meaning my voice didn't get record and it's my voice just goes along with the background noise.

This cant help with uninstalling or downloading a new driver for realtek it's not happening. Even I plug it correctly it's not working at all. All I hear is background noises not my voice.

my TNW-K16 it's new, and when I test it doesn't work either and I used a soundcard that I bought online. It doesn't work either.

Is their anything else to fix this? Or it might be broken. Or driver issues???? Please help me. Thank you

Hi everyone, I recently got a Sony FH-E858 stereo system, and I'm trying to figure out what is causing this problem.

When I first turn it on, the sound is normal and clear. However, after around 13–15 minutes of playing audio, it suddenly develops a very loud, continuous high-pitched beep (like “BEEEEEE”) along with distortion.
Here is what I have tested so far:

• I connected my PC to the Sony using a 3.5 mm AUX-to-red/white RCA cable.
• Initially, I used the Sony's VIDEO IN RCA ports.
• I then tried the DAT IN RCA ports, but the same problem returned after around 14–15 minutes.
• I tried keeping the volume low on both the PC and the Sony, but the beep was still extremely loud.
• Disconnecting the PC's audio cable did not seem to stop the problem.
• The beep seems to happen with different Sony functions, not just when using the PC input.
• I also tried the headphone output, and it seemed to work normally, although I have not confirmed whether it remains normal for the same amount of time.
• The seller mentioned that one or two ports might need cleaning. I wiped the outside metal edges of the RCA ports with a cotton bud while the system was switched off, but the problem returned.
• I also disconnected the blue SYSTEM CONTROL ribbon cable to the DVD player because I don't use it. The problem still occurred.

I'm not sure whether this is caused by dirty RCA contacts, a loose connection, the amplifier, the power supply, or another internal component.

Has anyone experienced something similar with a Sony FH-E858 or another older Sony stereo system? What could cause a loud beep that ignores the volume control and returns after the system has been running for several minutes?

I would appreciate any advice before spending money on repairs. Thanks!
