for some reason my new coworker """knew""" that Im the sort of guy who likes asmr stuff so asked me for good microphones for it cuz his wife wants to do that stuff. I dont know what to say. This was my first day working with him.

@igelsQTs Say it depends on the application. No setup is going to work well for everyone.

@AmpBenzScientist I did say that. But he doesnt want to spend much money on it so I just said buy a yeti cuz thats how all the low budget asmr people start

@igelsQTs That doesn't sound very German. Idk it's their problem and I don't think you want to volunteer yourself to be their Audio Engineer and have to see what is going on.

I've heard good things about Yeti. It should be good enough. I hope it is not ASMR turbines.

@igelsQTs Depending on the model it might have better DSP capabilities than x86-64 if it can't do it natively.

@AmpBenzScientist I had a mac at my last employer and still had to manually select and filter some noise out so youd hear no weird buzzing from the computer

@igelsQTs That shouldn't happen. There must have been some failing electronics nearby to get that kind of interference. Perhaps a poor ground quality where you were plugged in?

@igelsQTs When I worked a soundboard it was more important to properly tune the settings on a channel. I think it was like 24 that I was supposed to watch and that's not the secondary board which I also had to manage.

My point is that I have only seen one instance of hardware being so bad that I had to cut it. It was malfunctioning and had to be replaced. Even inexpensive equipment can sound great if the Audio Engineer? knows what they are doing. That was also with older equipment. The DSPs and other processing can do a lot with the sound that I didn't have the equipment to do.

That was around 50,000USD in equipment that I regularly touched. I guess ASMR is more about listening to frequencies that are generally unpleasant. So no cut outs on those frequencies which would need dual sampling to minimize interference with DSP.

I've had enough good experience with Beringer to blindly recommend all of the equipment they use to be made by them. It might not be the best but they have just worked with anything I've done in the past.

@AmpBenzScientist if she can figure out how to filter out most of the background noise with software ill already be impressed
