Testing 11 different random headset microphones

I believe they’re all either plan Tronics, or Jabra models. All USB, ran into the iPhone, volume is normalized on the entire mix, versus  recordings individually.  It’s interesting to hear the difference in volume and the difference in EQ shape. 

Party “In The Lou Imaging

So, Radio, is obviously a huge hobbie of mine. I also love making crossfaded playlists for things, and, if I’m creating a crossfaded playlist, well, then it’s got to have imaging, and sound like radio. Lol. It’s cool because you can taylor each playlist with the music you and your friends like. I record it all in studio, and then drop it into Voice Dream Reader, so, it’s got good transitions, and processing. Then, later you can listen back to it over a beer, and remember the great times you had, litterly, with the soundtrack to that time.

Here is the imaging I produced for my hang out in Saint Louis.

My experience with Air B&B, From a Blindness Prospective

So, this isn’t an audio post, but, I’ve been thinking it may shed some interesting light on my experience with AB&B from a blindness prospective.

AB&B, Air Bed And Breakfast, has been around for some time, but it is different than staying in a hotel/motel.

Generally speaking, your renting a room, or house, for a set amount of time. You, and your guests are the only ones staying in the space.

My brother has used AB&B quite a bit. He told me that it really depends on the individual location, per experience, that most times he has had a great experience, but there are the few times that it hasn’t always been smooth, so even though AB&B is a company, it’s kind of like Lyft or Uber in a way, because the experience is up to the individual who is renting the space.

I was in Saint Lewis Missouri last week, visiting my best friend, and my twin brother/family. I would suggest that if you are renting an AB&B, that you have sighted assist to help choose the spot, as well as take photos when you get into the space, inside and out, to document the condission the AB&B is in before you move in. I know that’s not always ideal, but if you have the opportunity, do it. Also, take picks before you check out.

The app is completely accessible. I used the web site to book the rental, I’m sure you can book it through the app too. Once you book the rental, is when you are provided with the address where you will be staying. I didn’t receive checkin instructions, such as lock code to get into the unit until the day of check in. I didn’t receive the check out instructions until the day before check out. You click a button in the app after you have checked out, to let the host know. You are able to communicate, message the host/owner of the space via the app, or e-mail, durring your stay with any concerns. You will receive a message after checkout that the host has written a review for you. You must write your review first, to see the hosts review. The review process seems accessible. It is a wizard in the app with 10 steps. Radio buttons, text boxes to rate the host, and the space.

Linnons, and dishes are included. I grabbed a few rolls of TP, and throwaway dishes, so I didn’t worry about anything, just trash it all before I left. Given the right circumstances, I will be glad to use the service again. We spent most of our time in the space, I rented an entire lower level of a house. We kept volumes low, but jammed on guitars and electronic drums and jammed music. The Saint Lewis marcket has all the goods, such as Doordash, and Uber Eats, so we were fine to get grub and drinks as needed.

 I felt like it was my house for the week. I think that’s the wway it’s supposed to be.

Fender Mustang Micro Plus: A few presets

So, after reading how you can setup all parameters of presets in an app, I decided to take the chance! The app is accessible with Voiceover!! I will have a demo of using the app soon. you are able to choose the amp head, and Ajust volume, gane, bass, mid, trebel. You are able to choose and also set fx parameters. Then you can save your selections to a preset. The next time you want this preset, you can just choose it on the physical amp versus needing to go into the app. You connect the amp to Bluetooth through the app, but it is not the same as the audio Bluetooth for listening back to backing tracks. This is awesome because you can use earbuds or glasses or whatever to hear what voiceover is reading you about the amp selection without it going through the actual headphone amp. The feature list list by directional recording. I didn’t know what this meant, but the previous version of the amp did not take over audio output. Only audio input to voiceover would still come out of your phone if you wanted it that way. This version does take over the input and the output, but, the loop back so to speak or what is coming out is not recorded. I have never used anything accessible like this for tweeking amps and fx, so this is a dream in my book! A few factory presets below.
