BOTBALL

So I hanged up some acoustic foam via 3M Super-77 spray onto a thin board from Home Depot so I wouldn't destroy my walls, and the life expectancy of that solution was only about a month and within that time, they began to fall off one by one. I am wondering if the alternate solution of doubled-sided heavy duty mounting tape would work better and last longer. Thanks.

So I need a solution for mounting my condenser mic, and my desk has no platform on which I can mount a regular clamp system found on most scissor arms, so the only solution I have found is either drilling a hole in my desk or just getting a tripod stand that can simply rest on the carpet besides my desk that is compatible with my AT 2020. Does anyone know if this particular tripod is capable of mounting a condenser microphone or is it mostly used for more low profile dynamic mics: http://www.ultimatesupport.com/js-mc100-tripod-mic-stand.html. Or does anyone have any alternate recommendations? Thanks.

Nvm fixed my problem. The issue was the playback was set to 96khz, which was to high apparently. I switched to 44.1khz and it is detecting great sound!

Does anyone know the solution to using the Scarlett solo interface as an amp for headphones.

My scarlett solo compact interface is currently connected to my monitor via USB and is used to record audio from my XLR mic. However, when I attempt to establish a connection with my M50x's through the headphone jack on the interface, I receive no computer feedback. I know the jack is working because when I enable the direct monitoring of my microphone through my headphones, I can hear my mic pickup. Computer audio is just not being registered through my headphones. Is there any additional connection I must establish?

When I plug the headphones into the jack on my interface, I hear no computer audio. I know the jack is working because when I turn live monitoring of my mic on I can hear my mic through my headphones, but when I turn it off, I hear no audio coming from my computer. Is an additional connection from the interface to my PC required besides the USB connection already established?

I have a Focusrite Solo compact interface. Does that suffice.

Ahh, the quality sounds much better when I plug it into my Nexus. It must be the computer audio.

So I just unpacked my brand new Audio Technica ATH-M50X headphones that I purchased for around $120, and when I plugged them into the headphone jack on my computer with one of the cables that came with the headphones, the audio quality didn't sound nearly as good as I expected. It sounded quieter than my old $50 Sony headphones from Walmart and even a bit muffled. I am shocked given all of the rave reviews of these headphones. Am I doing something wrong?

The reason why I didn't opt for a tabletop and legs is because I had my heart set on getting it online from IKEA (don't know why) and shipping to my destination would've been over 300 usd for any of the suitable tabletop and leg solutions.

I currently have a cheap Neewer Scissor arm for my condenser microphone, which mounted fine on my old glass desk, but I recently got a new desk from Ikea (the micke desk), and I have noticed that this desk has no area to mount the clamp on my scissor arm, so I have resorted to using a stool on which my scissor arm holding my mic is mounted. Obviously this is a temporary solution. Does anyone know of any scissor arm that doesn't use the common clamping mount system because none of that will work on my desk. I am looking for a scissor arm that has a round base that could just sit on the desk. Thanks.

And would foam board be better than plywood?

Glue it via spray adhesive, I'm assuming?

??

I plan on getting a few panels of acoustic foam for my small home studio, and I am not exactly sure what is the best solution for installing them to my walls. There weren't really any helpful videos on Youtube, however, I did learn that adhesive spray isn't too reliable, as the foam eventually begins to fall off, and obviously I don't want to use any sort of hot gluing method, as that would be a pain to work with in the removal process, so does anyone know of any alternate solutions to sticking acoustic tiles up on walls. Thank you.
