Jason Van Gumster:
Trying out a new audio rig. Got a Focusrite Scarlett2i2 audio interface and hooked it to an old Audio Technica mic I have from art school… mostly because the input from my Rode Smartlav+ doesn’t seem to play nice with it (probably because I’d have to bounce it through two separate interface adapters. Hopefully I’ll get a better mic soon, but it’s backordered. Hopefully this one doesn’t sound so bad. Still getting used to putting my head in the same place to speak, though.
