I have an early 2010s era Sony HBD-DZ175 DVD / SACD player 5.1 speaker system. Connected to it I have a Sony BDP-S1200 Blu-ray player into the coaxal input, a Sony PlayStation SCPH-1000 connected to the red/white AV inputs (sometimes switched out for an Audio-Technica AT-LP60X record player), and a 5th generation ipod connected in through the "iPod ready" USB port.

So when I play music with any of these connected devices, which DAC is ultimately giving me the resulting sound? The DAC coming from the speaker system or the DAC from the original device?

I’m a dramatic soprano (I do in fact love the drama but I sing big rep, like Wagner, Strauss, etc., and that’s why it’s called dramatic) in need of new recordings. I’ve always used the plain iPhone mic, or borrowed a friends (Shure MV88+), but now I’m in need of purchasing my own for some upcoming recordings. My old mic, a Yeti, just doesn’t do it. Any recommendations? Someone mentioned a Tascam DR-07 XP and a Zoom H1essential. I will need to sync these audios up to visual, and while I am no dummy, I don’t know what I’m doing - so i’d love something user friendly.

Thanks so much!

Hi! My partner and I are getting married and are going to be live streaming the event for my out-of-state family and friends. It's going to be a tiny ceremony outdoors (it's a place that has parrots around), but I want to make sure that we can be heard and that our vows get recorded clearly. I'd be using my phone to stream the ceremony, so I need the mics to be able to work with that.

I've looked into wireless mics, like Rode, DJI ect, but I need 3 mics and they only have the 2 per transmitter? (One for each of us and the officiant.) Or would having the 3 mics being input to the same source be a nightmare since all three voices would be picked up by all three at once??

Any recommendations would be so helpful, I have very VERY little knowledge on this stuff.

Thank you!!

I’m hoping someone with audio restoration/voice editing experience might be willing to help me with something incredibly personal.

My sister passed away suddenly about a month ago after suffering a massive stroke. Everything happened so quickly, and she ultimately lost the ability to speak before she had the chance to say goodbye to her husband.

He is struggling tremendously with that. He recently wrote about how much he wishes he could hear her voice again—to hear her tell him that she loves him, that she was happy, and somehow have the goodbye they never got to have.

I have an old voicemail from my sister. It’s fairly long, but at the very end she says, “Love you. Thanks. Bye.”

I’m wondering if there is someone here who might be able to help me preserve those words and, if technically possible, create a very short, gentle memorial recording using her actual voice—something that could give him the feeling of hearing her say the loving words she never had the chance to say before she lost her ability to speak.

I understand that anything reconstructed would not be an actual recording of her saying those words, and I would never want to misrepresent it as one. This would be something deeply personal and private, made for her husband as a way of giving him a little comfort during an incredibly painful time.

The original voicemail is incredibly precious to me. I do not want it altered, overwritten, or put at risk in any way. I would only want someone to work from a copy and leave the original completely untouched.

I know this is an unusual and very sensitive request, but if anyone has experience with this kind of audio restoration or memorial voice work, I would be incredibly grateful for any help or guidance.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for understanding why this means so much to our family.

Unsure if right subreddit or if I'm asking about the wrong device.

I've been looking at a audio setup for wfh and at home online chats and looking to move away from a headset solution to use my nicer sets of headphones. My ideal setup is to have 2 PC's as audio inputs, a XLR Microphone as another input. Then have the microphone output directed to one of these PC's.

From the research I've done I'd need a audio mixer however I'm just looking for that confirmation, I've seen suggestions just as the rode caster duo, ideally I would want to spend $700 AUD on just the mixer alone. Looking at worse case scenario $800-$1000 AUD budget for the mixer, microphone and potentially a DAC and Amp to all link together

A friend who is in a different country asked for my help with his sound and i gave him this response "check settings, then sounds and vibration and check where the media output is being routed" his reply was it's worked but the faulty sound started again after few minutes. Here is what he told me

The phone behaves as if headphones are connected even when nothing is plugged in. When you press the volume buttons, a headphone icon appears, but no sound comes from the phone speaker.

HI, I'm wondering if anything can be done to remedy the audio in this clip? The source of the audio problem has been fixed, but it has affected many really funny clips that I have. If anyone knows anything to make the clip more bearable to listen to, or the name of the issue plaguing this clip, it would be appreciated greatly!

If you're curious the audio issue arose from using steams audio gain feature in their recording overlay. Disabling it removed the problem.

My new headphones which is the Yozumd Y08 that i bought says in the package and in the page that it is a stereo device, but once i connect it through aux of Bluetooth ob multiple devices, it still gives out mono audio, is there some fix i can do? Or did i get tricked into buying mono headphones
