...and preview of what's to come I have been trying to improve my voice recordings. I have had a difficult time getting it to sound good. I started using a Blue Yeti X microphone (The Blue Yeti X is a premium USB condenser microphone designed for professional gaming, Twitch streaming, podcasting, and YouTube productions. It features a four-capsule array for enhanced focus, a multi-function smart knob with LED metering, and deep integration with Logitech G HUB software for Blue VO!CE broadcast effects.). Long story short - I decided that a dynamic microphone would more easily allow me to be consistent so I got a Shure MV7+ (The Shure MV7+ is a professional XLR/USB-C hybrid dynamic microphone designed for broadcast-quality vocals. It features a highly directional cardioid pickup pattern for excellent room-noise rejection and an upgraded customizable LED touch panel for live monitoring and muting. It’s essentially a modern, "plug-and-play" version of the iconic SM7B, delivering a warm studio tone without requiring a high-gain preamp.) After testing the new mic for the first time, I learned that most of the weird noise was coming through Veed.io, where I have been recording my videos and audio. I learned this when I tried using the Shure software to record and all the noise was gone. Then I made a couple recordings that seemed to me, to be much better than before - I impresed myself 😎 The question was brought up about what I was using to monitor. I haven't been monitoring. Here's the request: I know that V1B1N has many audio experts and music lovers... Tell me about monitoring. What to do - What to avoid. Best practices? How do I know I'm doing it right and what to adjust if something is off? 🙏🙏🙏

It’s Sunday. A new day… but more importantly, a moment to pause and reflect. Because no matter what this past week looked like… God was there. Through every challenge. Through every step forward. Through every moment you didn’t even realize He was working… He was faithful. The Bible says, “Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song.” — Psalm 95:2 That means today is a day to give thanks. Not just for the good moments… but for all of it. Because God is working in ways you can’t always see. The Bible also says, “You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to You.” — Psalm 86:5 That’s who He is. Faithful. Loving. Always present. So today… Lift your voice. Lift your heart. And give Him the praise He deserves. Because when you look back… you’ll realize He carried you through more than you thought. If you’re thankful today, comment “GRATEFUL” 🙌 🙏 And if you’re not 100% sure that you would go to heaven if you died today, and you’d like to know for certain, I would love to chat with you and explain God’s simple plan of salvation. No pressure just a caring conversation about the greatest hope we can ever have. Message me if you would like to have a 1:1 with me. Don Schaeffer
