Hey guys - The setup here is my Mackie DL32R digital mixer connecting via USB 2 to my two Macs. I have both a Macbook Pro (employer's) and my 2019 Mac Pro. I really want to be able to switch the Mackie back and forth between the two Macs without having to plug/unplug/plug/etc. Unfortunately...

Hey folks - I think the answer to this is: It's not possible. My GOOG-Fu sucks and I haven't been able to find anyone that's even tried to do this, much less been successful at it. Setup: Mackie DL32R digital mixer <---USB---> Mac The Mac immediately sees all 32 channels in and 32 channels...

Hercules as a 2-month old. Retriever mode: activated! God he was such a cute little monster.

I'm big on the Aerons too. I always have been. The challenge with them, or any chair really, is making sure you get the right sized seat; specifically the part your ass goes on. The measurement from your ass to the bend in your knee is of huge importance. If you end with a seat that's too...

They're often referred to as, "35MPH couch potatoes" for a reason. :-)

Thanks for the links; the first only goes to 16KHz which is easy for me to hear. The second is worth some playing around with as I have some time. But again it assumes the hardware can actually generate the tones properly. :-)

They're not being "strangled" at all. In fact they're performing quite well in their positions. Kinda a silly thing to say, really.

Yeah, it can do that and a few other things pretty quickly. ;-)

Yeah, that looks a bit... cozy. :-) Cheap alternatives to purchasing actual desks: get two inexpensive filing cabinets that are half-height, along with a solid core door. Set door on top of filing cabinets and, voila: instant desk. Cheap. And lots of space.

Exactly. I have 24(!) radiator fans in the rig. Eight of them are 140mm vs 120mm, and those are spinning even slower than the 120s. There's a teeny hum coming from the rig with the two EK pumps. A small HDD whine from the two drives, and every so often one of the GPUs coils starts...

Doesn't make barely any sound at all. The key that you learn pretty quickly with a big water cooling set up is that fan speed doesn't actually matter. It doesn't cool things any faster or any better than slower fan speeds. I have them spinning at a constant rate, somewhere between...

Herc tries to get some tail. Does he succeed? ...

Specs in the signature, but: Asus Rampage VI Extreme Intel i9 7900X which was de-lidded, OC'd to 4.7GHz and water cooled 64GB Corsair DDR4, OC'd to 4GHz 2 NVidia 2080Ti GPUs in SLI (FE cards) also OC'd and water cooled Sound Blaster ZxR audio CaseLabs Magnum THW10 case (RIP CaseLabs... :-( )...

Fair enough. I'm a big fan of closed back cans, but even with my open backed ones (Senn HD800), I didn't have a problem with my condenser. The thing is, it's an expensive condenser and might be a bit more than what you want to spend (and you need to provide +48V phantom). Rode Broadcaster.

Using YouTube assumes the DAC in my machine is capable of properly reproducing those frequencies. Most of the DACs we have available to us can't. ;-)

Hercules (left) and Zeus. At this stage, Herc is a little over 5 and his younger brother just turned 3. Both are around 100lbs (variable), both from the same sire and same breeder. I love Labradors. The other morning, I had to take a brief break from my workout for Labrador Sumo...

That seems a bit unusual for a dynamic mic to be that sensitive. Do you have the gain cranked all the way up too high maybe? Mind you: I have no experience with that mic and I prefer condensers. But my understanding is that dynamics aren't supposed to be that sensitive.

Generally, aren't audiologists focused on "hearing loss"? I did a very quick search in my area and that's all I came up with. Are hearing loss places equipped with gear that can reproduce frequencies like that?

As the topic states: where? I'm not concerned with hearing loss, so a hearing aid place isn't the right place to go. More accurately, I want to find out for my own benefit: what's my frequency limit? I suspect the big challenge here is that there probably aren't too many places that have the...

What the hell. This will likely generate some comments due to cable organization and whatnot. It's why I generally don't take interior shots of the rig. The motherboard and parts, along with a lot of the cooling. Due to the bad angle, you can't really see the big 480mm radiator up top; it's...

Command central, as it were. The first photo is the desk, two sets of keyboard and mice: one of the gaming PC, and the other for my Mac laptop that you see on the left. The laptop has two CalDigit T-Bolt 3 docks connected to it, and those docks are connected to: 3 4K displays keyboard and...

PC Master Race. I was 20 when the original Doom was launched on PC. The moment I saw that game, I knew gaming would be changed forever. I set my Sega Genesis controller down, and I've never picked up another console controller since.

Two games I'm currently playing: Rainbow Six: Siege - 6/10. This isn't a new title, and my appreciation for it has declined severely since it was launched (I've been playing it since the start). I think the game itself is fine, I'm just not enjoying playing it as much as I used to. The...

I know this is a 2 year old thread, but it seems interesting. Dunno if the OP is still paying attention to it or not. :-) I prefer a good internal sound card when it comes to gaming. By good, I mean the likes of the Sound Blaster ZxR, et al. I know people seem to think internal sound cards...

Sorry to necro a nearly 3 month old thread but I figured I'd close the loop in case this ever came up in someone's search. Yes, the CalDigit hub's TOSLink output was, in fact poison for the Yggy. I connected my PC up via fiber and had no issues at all with it. I also used a USB to RCA SPDIF...
