I built my very first microphone from (almost) scratch & after multiple rounds of troubleshooting involving no sound (cue some desoldering and re-soldering of wires) and then a ground hum 9cue more desoldering and re-soldering) it works! It stinking WORKS!!

@howto @freeopensource @studi0 #audio only recording with #OBS

thx for the hint @KasTasMykolas, based on your input I did a quick net search and found this:

To record only audio in OBS Studio, go to File -> Settings -> Output, make sure Advanced mode is selected. Open Recording tab and choose Custom Output (FFmpeg) in dropdown. Choose e.g. mp3 as container, disable Video encoder and edit the rest of settings to suit your needs.
This will save the output to .mp3 directly and you can use a separate profile for that in case you're also using OBS for normal video recording.

"After a hearing test came back normal, Sophie met a private audiologist for further testing. She was eventually diagnosed with auditory processing disorder (APD), a neurological condition where the brain finds it difficult to understand sounds and spoken words.

Her audiologist and others in England are now calling for more research into whether the condition is linked to overuse of noise-cancelling headphones."

Question for the #audiophile folks out there - I'm looking to get some decent over ear wireless headphones. I've had a couple of recommendations so far, the main two being the Sennheiser Momentum 4's or the Sony XH-100XM4 or XM5.

From what I've seen so far the Momentum 4's seem to be the better sound quality though the ANC and transparency mode aren't as good (Though still seem to be pretty acceptable).

Does anyone have any solid recommendations for around this price point before I look at purchasing?

It's about time I update my #introduction post, so here goes:
