Some dude in the Netherlands recently posted a comment to Dietrichs' latest shit-show on YT. It was written in German:

"Du bist ein Lügner und ein Idiot Dietrich und ich würde dir gerne in den Arsch treten!" -
(You are a liar and an idiot Dietrich and I would like to kick your ass!)

I used Google Translator to post this reply:

"Besuchen Sie uns unter https://bellgab.com/index.php?topic=10966.new#new, wo wir Douglas Dietrich entlarven und verspotten."

(Join us at https://bellgab.com/index.php?topic=10966.new#new where we expose and ridicule  Douglas Dietrich.)

Dietrich deleted both comments before I could get a screen-shot! ;D




Sounds like Albrecht got into the Tequila.   ;)

Or the definition of role of the 0351 within the USMC Infantry and Dietrichs' bullshit Saudi Arabia claims. Dietrich sounds like he smoked crack before he was interviewed by Fetzer!  Starting about 1:03:00 Dietrich starts his lie about being a US Marine in 1991.  I think I may also upload portions of this audio for the benefit of others. 

Again, I am disgusted by this interview.  Fetzer clearly allowed Dietrich to control the interview and present himself under false pretense.

At 1:06:00

Fetzer: "What was your position at that point"?
Dietrich: "Lance Corporal"
Fetzer" "I meant what was your MOS?"
Dietrich: "I was an anti-tank assaultman"


He got the medal of Modern Warfare 4.

I think I need to replace the XLR jack in my mic, but otherwise I think it's fine. I do want a new mixer because my current mixer only has two aux sends (used to create mix minus), and only one of them is post fade, which is a problem for the way I prefer to route audio.

I see... That is actually what's going on with my current microphone. The 3 ring pins in the XLR input of the mic are loose, the signal seems to drop in and out sometimes audio will only be coming through one side. Yes, a mixer that has at least 3 auxes is always preferred, it seems like we are on a similar journey. I'm debating if I should get a new mic or a new mixer first, but I think I've decided. I'll be buying a condenser microphone next.

I've been able to use 2 digital mixers and did two shows with each, my conclusion was that it was overkill. The x32 was fun and made me feel like I was about to record a live concert. That's just a waste of cash however if I'm not going to be using it to record music. I'm not sure what your personal opinion is on "MACKIE", but they have just released a new mixer... the Mackie profx v3.... The Tascam model 16 seems also like a good choice.

If you're hearing audio dropping out of one side or the other in your headphones, it's not the mic because the mic, unless there's something special about yours that I'm not privy to, outputs only center channel audio. It's gonna be your mixer, 99 times out of 100. Possibly your mic processor if you have one, but that's probably being fed mono into the mixer which eliminates it as a source of the problem.

It just depends on your use case, really. If you aren't taking callers or bringing on a co-host, zero aux sends will do. But yeah, more is usually better, but post fade is key for broadcast purposes. You don't want your callers or co-host to continue hearing you after you've potted your mic down.

Consider one of the self builds on microphone-parts.com because you can build a mic yourself for about $200 that's on par with a $2200 Neumann U87ai. If you don't build your own condenser from that site or spend big bucks on something else, I'd get a dynamic mic instead. Most modern condenser mics are engineered to fool our ears by over emphasizing the high end, which leads the untrained listener to believe they're hearing "clear" sound when, in fact, it's a mess that becomes evident when you really compare that mic against something legit or look at a graph of its frequency response. The MXL 990 is a great example of the shit engineering in modern condenser mics coming out of China. Then again, they're squeezing a lot out of those mics for only $50 so it's hard to complain too loudly. I've attached a vocal recording that I engineered with an unmodified MXL 990 to show that you can, in fact, polish a turd (only the man's vocals... the woman was recorded somewhere in Europe using I don't know what).

Quote

Yeah, I'd use as little equipment as possible and definitely only one mixer. You'll have much better control over the final product people are hearing with one mixer (not to mention saving desktop real estate).

I've never owned a Mackie, but every time I buy a Behringer mixer, I wish I'd bought a Mackie instead. Far more durable. I've seen Mackie mixers in use for 20 years without so much as a single bad cap on the internal PSU. No way anyone could say that about a Behringer. However, I'm in love with Behringer's USB audio interfaces. I own two of their UMC202HD units which cost $60 and I'd take those over a competing $150 Focusrite any day.

Damn, I was hoping it wasn't the mixer exactly. Nothing special about any of the gear I use, nothing moded. It's just your standard RE-27 I bought used.

I need at least 3 auxes .... I also use an FX aux for my compressor/limiter... I rather use an insert however.

My autism can only lead me through so many things, I don't think I have the patience to actually make my own Microphone. I've put many things together almost like Jesus Christ, however a microphone... Idk... I would need a lot of pills and weed to get me wired, No pun intended. My friend bought an MXL 990 while it does sound great there's a ton of self-noise. This is where my autism kicks in ......... I am looking for a few things in a microphone... even though my current microphone is not ideal for my preference. It doesn't sound clean it sounds slightly roughed up, I would rather get a AKG perception over the MXL 990... the vocal presence for speech is too chewed up. I am looking for a flat microphone with a presence boost, This is why I am focused on the TLM 103.


QuoteYeah, I'd use as little equipment as possible and definitely only one mixer. You'll have much better control over the final product people are hearing with one mixer (not to mention saving desktop real estate).

I used the rodecaster pro and the x32 I'd advise to stay away from both.

I've been using an Allen n Heath mixer for a while and I absolutely love it, no complaints except I wish it had more aux sends. I was even thinking of just maybe even buying the bigger version of the zed series That I currently use.

However...... that Mackie.... it's much newer.... like 16 years newer with 24 bit recording, Maybe even better preamps but then again I prefer using external pre-amps. Which reminds me... I need to get that shit repaired already. I'm thinking of buying the Mackie .................. https://mackie.com/products/profxv3-professional-effects-mixers-usb

Try to get SDM to co-host or as a call-in.

Norry is afraid and you, apparently, have some views on the so-called "justice system" in the country, especially with-regard to privatization. I tend to think SDM deserves his sentence but always have an open mind and he should, like anyone, shouldn't be abused (if allegations are true.) This is not a slight, I agree, to you. I even had an old professor (would be run out on a rail now) who claimed that slavery was better than the prison system post-war (in old days, to some extent now in different form) would lease prison labor out. But, unlike slave owners, no reason to feed or treat well. We also disregard how many were indentured servants and white slaves here and elsewhere, especially Muslim world back-when.  And how many are slaves now (mainly Asia and some parts of Africa.) 

Again HIGHLY controversial but economically, logically sound. You only beat a rented mule, etc and history of Rome etc with slaves also- some get freed, some even become citizens, etc. I recall someone, Foucault? who said that physical punishment better than imprisonment and for whatever reason our systems changed? Idk he is French so likely suspect.

BTW, yes, like president Trump I am an Anglophile and of British descent myself. I just think that they should join the rest of us in the 21st century now and lose their “symbolic” monarchy and all the negative baggage that goes along with that. Commonwealth countries, like Canada, should become independent republics.

That's 10pm Eastern-7pm Pacific . (Possibly 11pm Eastern-8pm Pacific) for us 'muricans.

As a cheap nod to our Canadian listeners, I have acquired the CostCo store brand of Canadian Whiskey (1.75L) and a few 2L of Royal Crown Cola for some fake Crown & Cokes to enjoy during the broadcast (assuming I can make it home in thyme from my brother's 50th birfday bonfire the same evening). 

ObL!, while shopping for my adult beverage of choice for the evening I noticed a 1.75L of store brand of "Silver Tequila" for a very reasonable price...  My personal jeweler (not the internet one that made our #BIFF necklace medallions) likes Evan Williams bourbon whiskey, but told me that he finds the CostCo store brand of Bourbon to be quite acceptable.

I wonder what the status of the IRC live chatroom is?  I miss those...

I haven't seen this wench blubbering in awhile, maybe she can help out with an ad or two for a "Buy a Pappy for Pate" fund.



"Please, please, as Liberace is our savior, can you see it in your liver, to free up a few sheckles for the blessed "Pappy for Pate" fund?  Without our efforts, Pate will never experience the pleasure of Pappy in his mouth!"

Maybe she can set up a booth at the BellGab Sardine Fest.
