Modern vs. analog

From time to time... i get more experience...
Im become smarter on how and with...
Iv get realize my real needs !!!

The Analog world is a magic...
I loved to use gear such as - SPL Crimson3...
Iv even made a chain with 2 pc's, one, the main, is desktop, while the sec one's laptop.
the laptop connected to a Focusrite Scarlett 18i16 (4gen),
but the main outs of the Scarlett went out into the SPL Crimson3 line-inputs,
and this SPL interface was connected to the main pc via USB...
all this chain, means the Crimson's main outs, went into a A&H ZEDi8 analog mixer,
anf my Adam A7V monitors connected to the ZEDi8 main outs...

Than... i made a small test, to understand if all this "Audio-Chain", with all those cables around,
worth this mess and will give me a better sound quality vs a digital, new and modern gear ?!

So... i pulled out from storage the Rode Rodecaster Duo i still keep...,
in the competition with the Mic sound quality - the Caster 100% is the winner in this case !!!
iv tried recording with the PodMic i have into OBS Studio program, 
one with the SPL... and then with the Caster !!!
The SPL actually, gave me a pure and very clean sound, what actually make this interface much better for music production, but after iv made some records on my mic via the Rodecaster Duo... well...
The built-in fx's are brilliant, it sounds so "radio" quality, crisp and bold sound.  it does the magic, what actually makes the Caster much better for podcasting and streaming, but it soesn't fits to programs such as Cubase, or basiclly, music production !!!

Also... iv made a compares, while im just listening to music in YouTube, and im switching between the SPL to the Caster, and for real!!! - i barelly could hear the dufference betwin the sound of each one, actually, they sounds pretty the same to each other.

And that's it... at this point iv decided, to pull off my desk all the analog gears, and put them in my storeg, the only interface i use now is the Rodecaster Duo, while 2 pc's connected to it (usb-1+2), 
and also, what can't happen with analog ones, Rode released a firmware update lately, and i think technology goes forward and ther's nothing bad with new modern hardware, what can be updated through files, the app of this  gear also go and improve from time to time!!!


Have a great (almost) weekend ppl !!!  :)

(in the pic, my new design for my setup)...  

Let's Go Minimize !!!

Hey there good ppl arounf the globe !!,
Me again, Nivoss from Israel here !!!

As for this era, difficult times, the conflict between Israel and USA against Iran,
we'v got alot of time to be with ourselfs, at home, what taking me to think of...
I need to minimize my whole setup here !!! really... it became, a huge setup with complex routings, drivers inside the machine clash each other..., gear sometimes not functions at all,
i find myslf, more doing a technical tasks instead of producing and creating arts or whatever comes to my mind, and those issues take me to the thought of - i really need to get-off stuff on my table, just to make the system function easily !!!

So... at this point i start asking myslf, 
am i a music producer?
or graphix design guy? (what includes video editi),
or, maybe im just a person who love gaming, and sometimes streaming ?!

and why all those questions arrives now?,
becouse, any kind of each one of the above, deservs a different kind of gear to work with !!!

ill explain:
for gaming/streaming - i really think i need to keep the Rodecaster Duo on table !!!
this small hardware, is an "everything games need" in the Audio section !!!

and... if im a music producer..., well, this kind of "hobby", well deserved a STRONG audio interface, what taking me to get the RodeCaster Duo off the table, and keep the Focusrite Scarlett 18i16 (4gen)...
ALSO !!! - for a music listning, i think this interface will give me a better sound quality then the Rodecaster !!!!

And, for graphix + video editing, 

well... im not sure, but both of the options are relevant for this kind of works...


SO !!!! --- Now!!, as i think about it...
I need to keep them BOTH on table !!!


ill continue updating...
meanwhile.... working !!!  :)
