I purchased the Rode PodMic USB microphone with great excitement, but when I tested it on my Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, I noticed an annoying white noise in the background. I hoped that using it on my PC with Rode's software would help with post-processing and eliminate the issue. However, when I tested it on a Windows PC, the problem was even worse.
I recorded with Adobe Audition, and the average recording gain was between -45 and -40 dB, which is extremely low. When I tried amplifying the audio, the white noise increased significantly, making the recording sound terrible. I also used Audition’s noise reduction tools, but they only made things worse, making the microphone sound like a very cheap one.
I tried several troubleshooting methods to rule out configuration issues:
1. Installed Rode Central and updated the firmware.
2. Used Rode Central’s processing to reduce noise and increase gain, **but it didn’t improve anything**.
3. Tested different cables:
* Rode-certified USB-C to USB-C.
* USB-C to USB-C from the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra.
* USB-C to USB-A from the JBL Charge 5. None of them made a difference.
4. Used NVIDIA Broadcast for noise reduction. While it reduced some noise, it also lowered the gain. Additionally, relying on third-party software shouldn’t be necessary when the product description states: *"The digital USB output features RØDE’s ultra-low-noise, high-gain Revolution Preamp™ and powerful APHEX® digital signal processing to effortlessly capture studio-quality sound."*
5. Devices I tested the microphone on:
* Samsung Tab S9 Ultra.
* Asus Vivobook laptop.
* Windows desktop PC with ASROCK B660M PRO RS motherboard.
6. For monitoring, I used Audio-Technica M50x headphones. I understand that impedance can affect the perception of white noise, but in this case, it’s excessive.
7. I’m attaching two recordings from Adobe Audition:
* The first is raw, unprocessed audio.
* The second is amplified audio without noise reduction.
I'm starting the return process for the microphone. It’s a shame because the build quality feels premium, but the performance doesn’t match the promises. Maybe I was just unlucky and got a defective unit. 😔😢
Have only been Woobling since December and have wanted soo badly to make Billy the Unicorn into Unicorse from Bluey. Finally gave it a shot today and mostly pleased with the results. Had I thought about it I’d have changed the horn color and put the ears on before the bangs.
I'll be the first to admit that I don't want to put too much effort into investment, and that I am extremely forgetful. Thinking of dumping my money into OCBC's roboinvest, so all the numbers sit in one central location for easy monitoring, and also that I don't forget that it exists.
I did some basic research and read that roboinvest has a high cost compared to other options? Is it still fine to do or would people here really recommend sucking it up and using a separate platform?
It has been made known a few of the hot wheels designers are huge fans of the series and it is well known that the hot wheels does not have the license for initial D outside of Japan, which is why the 86 was an exclusive.
I’m not the first to say this, but it’s still intrigues me. I believe that they truly wanna release an Initial D set, but they cannot. I believe they are scratching the itch by giving us an initial D cars sporadically throughout different sets.
I think this has become increasingly obvious as of late due to the color and decos that have been put on cars like the sileighty, the S13, and even the spoon civic to an extent. Now some of the other cars are purely coincidental, such as the RX7 and the black R32.
I am interested to see if the pattern will continue and if we get more initial D cars such as a premium white FC that’s not a widebody car, or perhaps even a new Levin casting.
I just went on an ice fishing trip for the last three days. I got back and after spending time with the wife and kids, and getting everyone fed and in bed, I decided to play a little CoD. I just bought the game last week from Steam on my PC. So I turn it on and there is an update, so I run the update. When it's done, I try to play. I get to the lobby, find match, then my ping just starts increasing, unable to find a match. I try a few things, nothing works. I try restarting the game, nothing. Now, I can no longer access the network at all. I keep getting "HUENEME NEGEV" error code. I have spent the last 2 hours doing every fix I can find. Absolutely nothing has worked. All my other games work, even online. Before this, I wasn't having an issue.
Absolutely do not ever under any circumstance use Elementor or Elementor Pro or Elementor Website Builder – More Than Just a Page Builder (or whatever it's called I just wanted this to show up for anyone who thinks of using elementor pro. if you are using wordpress to build your startups website. Whenever I have a deal with a website that used Elementor as their theme, it's the most annoying thing to deal with.
Look at their reviews on the plugin page itself - wordpressdot orgwebsite/org/support/plugin/elementor/reviews/.
It just people frustrated that every single update is like a life and death with this plugin. I personally have had to waste hundred of unbillable hours fixing website of clients who made the mistake of using Elementor.
If you are a bright-futured startup who want to makes sure you have less distractions in your quest to becoming successful business, do not make the mistake of building your website using Elementor. end rant
I bought these two dresses a while ago and kind of forgot about them until I cleaned my wardrobe this morning. How can I style them better? How should I tape the girls?
FTM, 23(f), 6 weeks, this is my second pregnancy, the first one ended with a missed miscarriage at 13 weeks in November. I had previously spoken with a local midwife about receiving my prenatal care and having a home birth. My husbands insurance has a high deductible of $6,000 and the midwife pricing locally is $4,700(30 minutes away)-5,500(in my town). We don’t have a ton of disposable income so we want to make a wise decision both financially and what makes me the most comfortable. My biggest fear is committing to a midwife and paying $5,500 and then ending up having to transfer care late term(no prorated refund available after 32 weeks) or during delivery and then being saddled with a huge bill.
Is the risk of needing to transfer care higher with the first child? I’ve read a lot of posts were labor stalls due to the pain, and I’m very concerned about this. The lack of guarantee scares me.
I don’t want to give birth in a hospital as I live in a small town and the hospital here is not good according to the midwife I spoke to. And the closest other hospital is an hour away.
My husband’s family is also filled with doctors who all delivered in hospitals and are very anti-home birth. I can’t make this decision without being very sure as I’ll have to defend it to them. He is okay with what I decide but also very scared of the risks of home birth.
I just want to feel confident In what I decide and time is running out to schedule my first appointment.

I just went out to a “Japanese disco night” with a friend and they played city pop. I absolutely LOVED it and would love to listen to more, but I’m having a hard time finding more of the upbeat stuff. I especially loved the songs that had a funky bass or songs that had a Michael Jackson and Madonna vibe. I would love to listen to more so please give me your recommendations!
