Musical Instrument Trivia

These headphones are great for tracking drums or any musical instrument! Love them!

I used to work in musical instrument & pro audio retail and I hate to pay retail for cables, but I also realize the value of having good cables where data and audio transfer are critical. I bought these cables for all of my camera tethering and for data communication with one of my synthesizers to communicate with my computers. Im very pleased with the construction and performance & I also like the bright orange so these cables stand out from my other data cables.

A well made musical instrument cable for light duty use at a very reasonable price point. Cable is very supple and well made from both a mechanical and electrical perspective. Wire and braid are soldered to the connector, not crimped, I like that. Shielding from electrical noise and interference (radiated susceptibility) seems adequate for my use. Cable microphonics do not seem to be a problem with this musical instrument cable.

This is a great case. I've had good experiences with SKB in the past for musical instrument cases, and this is no different. I have 2 Sony a7iii camera bodies and an assortment of lenses in here, and it all fits nicely. The lid organizer is a nice addition too.

I have been using the 15-key Stream Deck which works great, but I'm now learning a new musical instrument via online video tutorials and I needed a way to do mouse clicks without removing my hands from the instrument. The Elgato foot pedal works perfectly for this using the SuperMacro plug-in in the Stream Deck software.

I do various recordings as far as voice, musical instrument instruction videos, music tracks for various clients. For a while, I've used the Blue Yeti and always knew I needed a better mic but didn't know what to get. Plugins in post can take you very far but, overall I knew I needed better hardware. This mic was rated very high for it's quality to cost ratio. I'm a saxophonist and I needed a large diaphragm condenser for what I wanted to do and this was at the top of the pile of my choices. It was a major quality increase. I paired it with a Focusrite 2i2. Very round and thick sounding. I've watched videos and comparisons It's response curve is relatively flat compared to the NT1-A. Also it's extremely quiet. I won't need another mic for quite awhile.

I needed a power supply for a musical-instrument device that I bought used. This power supply met all the technical requirements (and its price was much lower than elsewhere), except that its plug had an incorrect center-pin diameter (I wish the listings for such devices included that spec; they seldom do). Luckily I had a power supply with the right plug that I don't need; I spliced that power supply's cable onto this one since I have the necessary tools and skills. It's now doing the job!

I attended B&H's Event Space webinar Trivia Night: Data Storage and Memory Card Best Practices with SanDisk and SanDisk Professional that, thankfully, featured Sandisk's iXpand Flash Drive Luxe. I ordered the 128GB that happened to be on sale. I found it can support iPhones with USB-C charging ports or even Lightning ports like my old iPhone 7. After downloading the iXpand app and using it for a few days I can confidently say it was definitely worth the purchase. The app is easy to use. It automatically backed up all of my photos and videos allowing me to free up space on my iPhone and to transfer them to my Windows 10 PC. It's an amazing little device.

Musical. Pleasant to the ear.
