My powered monitors are usually on, also when the preamp is not. Now, when I turn the preamp on, a transient surge or DC offset causes an unpleasant and possibly harmful thump. What is your preferred solution to the problem? Mute circuit, DC-blocking capacitor maybe? Power-up sequencing is not a solution - if it was, the whole problem wouldn't exist :) Thanks in advance!

Hey tribe, first post here. I make psychedelic pop/rock, and I'm here to do the responsible adult thing, which is to take my holiday cash and immediately turn it into a cardboard box I definitely need. So, let’s talk shop. What would you grab from this list? UA Apollo interface to replace a Scarlett 4i4 3rd Gen From what I can tell, UA's Apollo interfaces have a strong ecosystem and support, but they might also result in spending more time picking plugins than making music. Don't my existing plugins already do a decent job in the DAW for most of this anyway? I've never had a "luxury" interface like this, so I'd love a reality check from people who live on one. V47 Tube Mic Build Kit to replace an AT2020 This seems like it could be a pretty big source-tone upgrade, with charm and character for days, and maybe it takes compression in a more flattering way. But it also feels like a potential maintenance rabbit hole, plus time holding a soldering iron instead of a guitar. But mah vintage vibes! UA Sphere DLX modeling mic Going this route would let me bypass the build process while still chasing that vintage mic vibe, plus I'd get to try a bunch of legendary mic profiles since I don't fully know what fits my voice yet. But now we're right back to "too many choices" hot in the middle of the workflow again. Roswell Mini K47x Finally, we may have arrived at the most practical of all the possibilities, as well as the most cost effective. A single, smooth, out-of-this-world vocal mic that's easy to mix. Plus it's dead simple, buy it, plug it in, and use it. Alright, enable me or save me. If you could only choose one, are you buying? If so, what are you buying and why?

I got sent this, so figured I'd post it up here in case there's anyone that might be interested! I don't know anything about it, just forwarding it, so please direct any queries to them! https://jobs.dayforcehcm.com/en-US/fotf/CANDIDATEPORTAL/jobs/8403
