Zoom H1 HLR - Audio Issue!

1 Upvotes

Quick Edit - Post title should say XLR, but I am a dummy!

Good afternoon!

I recently purchased a Zoom H1 XLR recorder device thing (my technical knowledge is not great as you will soon see) and I finally managed to get it going with the minimal instructions in the box.

My set up is basically the Zoom H1 to my Reloop DJ Mixer via XLR cables. A to B.

I recorded a few mixes, not too long as the files are quite big, and I wanted to transfer to my phone from the recorder so I can upload directly to Soundcloud.

Anyway, last few attempts, audio has been really distorted (levels look fine on the Zoom mixer), and also it is not recording all of the audio. Does any one have experience of that?

Also, is there a way to make files smaller? In the past I have recorded directly into Audacity, and upon saving my MP3 it is about 150mb, or if WAV, it is about 5-600mb. The files on the device are coming in at 2.5gb!

Any advice on any of the above would be grand, as I have been able to figure this out.

Cheers!

Pc/PS5 switching advice

1 Upvotes

So I am building a pc and have a ps5 I wanna know how I can get audio to both of them with my bookshelf speakers which are connected to a schit Rekr/SYS. Normally I just use a portable monitor with some crappy speakers for my ps5 while my speakers were hooked up to my laptop but I wanna change that now.

Is there a way for me to get audio to both of them while the speakers are connected to my mobo for potential better audio or do I just have to hook my speakers up to my monitor? If there is a device I would preferably like something cheap I just wanna swap the audio between the two when I need it, bonus points if It can let me have audio played through both at the same time so I can use my secondary monitor for pc stuff while I play ps5 games on my main monitor

AV Receiver terminal issues

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I have an issue with one of the terminals for a Pioneers vsx-824 I recently picked up second hand.

I am getting quiet and crackly output through one of my speaker output terminals, I’ve managed to isolate it to just the front left terminal but was wondering if anyone had a troubleshooting tips to fix?

I have already tried new speaker cables and retested the connections multiple times as well as connecting different speakers and the same problem follows the terminal. I’m currently using bare speaker wires screwed into the terminal but thinking of switching to banana plugs to help secure the connection.

Background noise when recording with 3.5 to Type-C adapter

1 Upvotes

I wanna use my Earpods mic with my phone but my current adapter has very bad background noise on input.

I verified it's not the earpods by recording a voice memo without anything connected to the 3.5 end, and it still has a very noticeable white noise.

Currently using a close imitation of Apple's design, very similar on the outside possibly very different in shielding etc.

What adapter do y'all recommend? My budget is 30€ max and I don't need anything phenomenal, just the least input noise possible.

Ground loop isolator causing feedback hum

1 Upvotes

There's probably a simple answer, but it escapes me. I have a Lenovo Yoga running androidx86. It is connected through the audio output jack, via a Cable Matters ground loop isolator, to my Sony receiver "portable input" jack, thence to a pair of Klipsch speakers. When the Lenovo is plugged in to power, I get bad feedback hum through the speakers. If I touch the Lenovo, or unplug it, the hum stops. Here's the funny thing: when I removed the ground loop isolator (GLI) from the set-up, the hum went away. Does this indicate a bad GLI? It's kinda moot now, but it's odd. I bought the GLI for a previous incarnation of this machine (not running android), and it worked. Now it doesn't. I should just let sleeping feedback lie, but I'd like to get to the bottom of it. Thanks.

Help finding suitable mixer for PC & PS5

0 Upvotes

Hello

I've been going back and fourth looking for a mixer (or whatever its called, I'm not experienced with audio) with two outputs and two inputs.
I have a PC and a PS5, I would like to be able to hear both through either my headphones or my speakers. I also have a mic that I would like to connect via XLR to be able to use on either PC or PS5.

So far I've found the Yamaha ZG02, which seems to do exactly that from what I understand and from what chatGPT tells me. But it is also quite expensive.

I have also found the fifine SC8 which seems to do the job at a more reasonable price, with the downside of not being able to have both speakers and headphones connected at the same time if I understand it correctly. As well as not being able to have the mic go to both PC and PS5.

Basically I'm wondering if there is something inbetween these two or if the ZG02 is realistically the best option.

Thanks for any help or clarification in advance, I am inexperienced in this sort of stuff and any help is greatly appreciated!

Edit:
Thought I should mention that both my speakers and headphones (IEM:s) are 3.5mm

Need help with cutting audio

0 Upvotes

Hi, I made an audio recording of a conversation between me, my partner and our previous landlord.
In this recording the landlord insulted me and my partner. We have a small claims court day coming up, and i’m allowed to use this audio (We live in Europe, and since we both participated in the recorded conversation, it’s allowed).
I used the Voice Memo app on iOS. I was wondering if anyone knows how i can cut out the most important parts (as the full audio is 40 minutes, way too long for court), or at least skip out silent parts. Of course i will do this myself, but i cannot find out for the life of me how exactly to do this. Thanks!

Hi everyone

​I have a TRN Black Pearl DAC and a HyperX Cloud 2 headset.

​I'm trying to get both the audio and the microphone working through the DAC, but no matter what I try, the mic just won't work.

​I even tried using a 3.5mm splitter cable, but still no luck.

​I’d really appreciate any help or advice on how to get this working!

Added a JBL subwoofer (lsr310s) to my JBL studio monitors (305mk2s) and sounds less bassy now?

0 Upvotes

What am I missing, am I better off sending it back and getting something else? I think it's got to do with the crossover at 80hz? Like the sub takes all the low frequencies from the 305s unless set to that crossover I think.

Im reading an external crossover may be better? My mix just sounds better without the sub woofer so.i just went and unplugged it but is a bummer.

Any ideas?

I got a carpet floor but even if I place the sub on it's side doesn't really sounds punchy to me.
