Image
Congratulations! You want to start your own podcast. You have something to share with the world, and you want to do it the right way. Perhaps, you had the chance to look at my earlier post about picking the right microphone for your podcast . I mentioned there as well, that if you are looking at a dynamic (or a ribbon) microphone, then an audio interface will be needed. With that in mind, this post will help you make the decision for an audio interface. At the end of the post, you will also find YouTube videos by those who are here to assist you make the final decision. So, first of all, what is an audio interface? An audio interface is a hardware device that connects audio equipment such as microphones, instruments, and speakers to a computer or other digital device. Its primary function is to convert analog audio signals into digital signals that can be processed and recorded by the computer, and to convert digital signals back into analog audio signals for playback through speakers

The search for a natural shaving soap, and why it is to be to preferred.

Image
It is one thing to be aware of the need to shave, and it is an altogether different matter to take care in picking a shaving soap that will offer the pleasure one desires. One of the major contributors to a good shave isn't what one would first think of - a shaving razor - but, rather what is applied to the face, before the razor even gets to work. Yes, it is shaving soap. In recent times, there has been an increased awareness of choosing natural soap over synthetic ones made famous by clever advertizing and lucrative pricing. Natural shaving soap is better for the face because it contains natural oils that provide lubrication and slip that primes the skin and stubble. It is rich in glycerin and is superfatted  - a process that loads the bar with natural oils, leaving your skin moisturized. With the right oils, soap won’t dry your skin and can actually condition it. In practice, soaps have proved to be better for th

PHILIPS ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) headphones

Image
In my experience, Philips was a brand name that used to be heard quite a lot. This is in the 80s and 90s. Gradually, this name came to be drowned out by other competitors. Not that Philips had disappeared, but there were names such as Sony, Panasonic, and JBL to give competition. Then, one started to hear more about Skullcandy, Samsung, Beats, and now so many other brands that one can barely keep up with the names. Bose has continued to be a pioneer in ANC technology, and also some of the most expensive headphones in this category. Just today, as I was doing some research about ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) headphones, the name Philips came up quite prominently. The headphones I was looking at, showed great reviews and a very attractive ongoing discount. I still took a look at the others but came back to check Philips, as it has been a brand that I have known over the years. It was nice to find their official online store via Amazon, as so many well-known brand

Collagen is your bodybuilder. A supplement that is now widely considered as necessary.

Image
Only a few years ago, a lot of people had not heard of collagen. If they had heard of it, there was not a lot of serious consideration about collagen being a necessary supplement. When one mentioned supplements, usually the conversation would go toward minerals, vitamins , protein powder, some herbs, and there has been a special interest in creatine . With greater understanding, and also, the coming of high-grade collagen supplements into the market, people have become interested not only in collagen but also learned quite a bit about its different types. This interest is completely justified. For a lot of people, collagen has already become a supplement that they regularly take and can attest to the benefits they have derived.

If it is time for you to consider a new computer, think about an All-In-One (AIO)

Image
  The market for computers has been dominated by laptops for quite a few years. If you walked into a store, the staff would promptly have directed you toward all the new laptops in the market. Companies such as HP, Dell, Acer, and Lenovo focused their entire business to prioritize laptops. It's difficult to say whether it was the manufacturers' focus on this segment or was it consumer demand that led to this phenomenon. What can be said with certainty is that for many years, perhaps, more than a decade, the laptop was seen as the ideal fusion of compactness, functionality, power, convenience, and even aesthetics. Of course, they were an ideal package made possible with improvements in processor, hard disk, and motherboard technologies. Today also, most people would look for a laptop. Laptops of today are terribly powerful, fast, sleek, and have utilized heat management technology for optimum performance. Most young people, especially, would s

If you are looking for a mic for your home studio podcasts, then look no further

Image
With so many people realizing the value of sharing their views over recognized platforms such as personal blogs, podcasts, and YouTube videos, the need for a good mic has occurred to very many individuals. It would have been the case some years ago that, if you spoke of getting a good mic, it was assumed that you are a singer or a musician. Well, that might very much be the case. However, as I mentioned, you could be a content producer with the knowledge to share about very many different subjects, or you may have one special subject you wish to speak about, then a good mic is a need; not a luxury. Let's get the most basic thing out of the way. There are 2 kinds of mic you will be looking at. There is the dynamic mic, and there's the condenser mic. It's vital to know the difference between the two, and why one is to be preferred over the other. A dynamic mic (or a ribbon mic) The dynamic microphone is called a “moving coil microphone.” Thi

Ergonomic office chairs - an investment for one's well-being worth making

Image
Ergonomic is a word one used to hear a lot in the 90s. Of course, as more and more of the workforce started to work in offices, and much of the work started to shift to the indoors, ergonomic became an important word. Whether one was looking for a keyboard, a table, or a chair, or one was considering a complete workstation, ergonomic was the word every manufacturer put on the product description. Look, this is an ergonomic keyboard . This is an ergonomic chair. This workstation satisfies the requirement set out by ergonomics.

Chris Rea - a much later discovery for me, and now an endless musical pleasure

Image
At this very moment, I am listening to some of Chris Rea's music from the 90s. "Where do we go from here", from the album, The Blue Cafe is playing on a loop. Such a smooth tune. The lyrics are realistic and thoughtful. Chris is speaking of a young woman and a young man, where they stand in life right now, and where are they headed. Where does she go from here; where does he go from here? Where do we go from here? That's the question he is answering in this song. The beat is steady, like a fast, steady heartbeat. And, then suddenly the slide guitar starts to cry and scream in his hands. What a gorgeous song!
