AUDIO LEVELS | Zoom H4N | Mixer | Input / Output

In this post i will write my basic understanding of Audio Levels and the links that helps me to understand what is happening.

You have 3 sources of audio signals. Each signals have different voltage. Without entering in science...

Mic signal - Needs less voltage.
Line signal - Needs more voltage.
Speakers signal - Needs way more voltage.

So, ultra-simplifying. 

If you have your recorder like the Zoom H4N you have your XLR Inputs (Microphone) and your Line inputs. If you want to plug your H4N from an speaker output, you will need to reduce the level of the audio signal. (note we are talking of the level, the signal, the voltage, not of the volume when you are monitoring the audio). So you will need something like the Shure A15LA.

Below comes from here

Yes, here's a video showing that happening with the H4n

Which is why you need an attenuator of some kind to prevent it. Other recorders allow for a line-in.
This explains what is happening to the voltage difference between line & mic

What's the difference between mic and line level audio? ... Both mic and line level audio refer to the voltage level of an audio signal. Wired and wireless microphones are typically connected to mic-level inputs, while most other audio devices — such as mixers and outputs of mic preamps — use line level.

Phantom power is used with condenser microphones. ... Phantom power is a DC voltage (usually 12-48 volts) used to power the electronics of a condenser microphone. For some (non-electret) condensers it may also be used to provide the polarizing voltage for the element itself

Put simply, condenser microphones have active electronics that need an external power source, while dynamic mics are passive and therefore do not need phantom power. Because of the way condenser mics work, their output is very high impedance, and therefore requires a powered circuit to reduce that impedance.

Mic Level. Mic level is the voltage of signal generated by a microphone. This is the lowest, or weakest, level signal of the four and requires a preamplifier to bring it up to line level.

Problemas imaginarios

A ver, estaba a punto de escribir esto en mi face...

"I don't like people that just see problems everywhere, most of the time."

Y luego me dije... ¿Para qué?. Muchas personas compran esa moral de memes y filosofía de Facebook porque parece bonita, porque parece correcta y porque según todos se identifican con lo más bonito, lo más chingón. Porque es así como todos se ven. Don perfecto.

Pero ese no es el  punto, vengo porque leí que alguien preguntaba ¿Cuál es tu Toc? Que ahora que lo pienso pues ni siquiera explica el porque quiere saber.

En fin, en uno de los comentarios alguien menciona qué poner los ganchos vacíos de un lado del closet. Y yo me quedé preguntándome ¿desde cuándo ser ordenado es un TRANSTORNO?.

Y es que claro, entramos a los dominios de la percepción. Donde no sea una figura de "autoridad" que lo diga porque todos se la compran. Y luego se vuelve como estándar o hasta verdad científicamente aceptada. Y es que luego hasta se vuelven mitos. Que luego otros luchan por romperlos.

En fin. Se lo platiqué a Paprika y ella me explicó que, transtorno es si no puedes salir de tu casa hasta que los ganchos estén ordenados, en que si saliste de tu casa y en el trabajo estas pensando en si dejaste o no los ganchos en su lugar... eso tiene más sentido.

En fin. ¿Eso es andar buscando problemas? Tal vez no me guste a mí mismo... porque cuando me creo más listo es cuando más mal estoy... most of the time. 😋

Percepciones.

Dos estilos

Tengo aquí, dos estilos diferentes de color para este video. ¿Cuál prefieres?

El aire que nos toca

El aire que nos toca

No estuvo mal, esperar
Aunque te vi pasar
No pude olvidar
No pude escapar

Y el aire que nos toca
De tu boca escurrira
La distancia es corta
Cuando puedo recordar

Montañas de neon
Me acompañan las mañanas
Memorias de cartón / que detonan
Dopamina sin control / falsa ilusión

Y el aire que nos toca
No te puedo respirar
La distancia es corta
No te quiero olvidar

Ce le temps
Qui pase comme le vent vers toi
Cependant tu prends un verre de vin
Quand tu vendrais

C'est l'anxiété de te revoir
Embraser ton passée
Qui fait ton présent
Au revoir

No sé si fuimos

No sé si fuimos nada
Desde la primera vez
No comenzó muy bien
Ni siquiera sé si

Algo comenzó
Entre tus piernas
Y mi corazón
No sé que fue

No sé que pasó
Que todo el tiempo
Me lo paso en regresar
En mi cabeza

This is how you draw in the future-today using A.I.

Río technicolor

Si por tus labios sale luz
El camino que recorro
Esta lleno de deseos de color
Colores sin explicación

Y como voy ciego
Me llevaras a tientas
Ciego de amor
Los restos del amor

Y ruego que mi sombra se haga un río
Y que el frio venga en technicolor
Y es que el camino esta lleno
De deseos sin explicación

Desde mi piel de papel
Esperaré que los días terminen
El infinito me espera
Me lavaré los recuerdos

En tu tejido qué brilla
Regreso al momento
Donde he recorrido
Con mi mirada tu luz

Phrases Anthony Robbins

When you do what you love to do, you become persistent and harder to stop.

It's not the conditions who shape your destiny... it's your decisions.

It's the moment of decisions when your destiny is shape.

Little decisions can change our life.

The decision you took to go in a place to meet what it's now your husband or wife.

The decision of what you put on your plate every night will shape your body and your destiny.

If you want to be happy, study happiness, if you want to be wealthy, study that, if you want to be healthy, study how to be healthier.

People who is happy is not because they are lucky, they ate doing something.

All of us have 6 human needs;

Personal needs

1. We need certainty. Think in those things who really matter for you.

2. We need uncertainty. if you are certainty for a while you get tired, you get bored, we need variety, we need change, to feel alive. Variety is the spice of life.

Certainty ------ Variety

3. We need significance. The need to feel unique, special, important.

4. We need connection and love.

Significance ------ Love and Connection

Spirit Needs

5. We need Growth. We need to grow in order to be happy.

6. We need Contribution. Fulfillment is when we do things for others.

Growth ------ Contribution

In order to find our blue print we need to answer the question, what is life about? And what have to happen in order for that occur.

What people will do is very different of what people can do.

The road of someday bring you to the town of nowhere.

Everybody is driven by two forces;
1- The need to avoid pain
2- The desire to gain pleasure

So, the controlling force of our life, is what we link pain and what we link pleasure to.

Advertisers are aware of this, if we a are going to get people into take action, to use their power to buy things, we need to get them into associate pleasurable feelings to our product, or showing them how they can eliminate some pain that they already have by buying our product.

We will do more to avoid pain, that we will ever do to gain pleasure.

If you found yourself don't doing something, is just because you associate more pain doing it than not doing it.

Wherever change you want to happen, make sure you link it with a tons of pleasure.

Goal settings
We don't understand totally how it works, there's something beyond from what we understand of just writing something down, something happens. You become a creator when you write down goals and you get clear why you make them happen.

Purpose is stronger that outcome.

Don't get real, get intelligent. Because what is real to you today it's based on your past.

You got to get goals big enough to drive you, to excite you, so don't stop in how to do it, that is not the first step, the first step is get it down.

Establish goals two times a year. Check them every month and the highest goals, everyday.

Asylums For the Feeling - Lyrics

A silent faulty feeling A silent fault A silent faulty feeling A silent fault A sigh and fall to the ceiling A sigh and run to the kneeling Asylums for the feeling Ran out of all the meaning I ran out of It’s hard to fall believing It’s hard to fall So many men are losing While out there doing the proving It’s no suprise he’s dooming Bring your friends, bring it all on Oh, don’t suck it up, no We seem to need another We need you all While finding our own cover We cover it all I find my own completeness The darkness and the weakness The light, the fight, the quietness We are here for you We are here for you Don’t suffer alone Tell us Asylums For the Feeling Music: Silent Poets Words/Music: Leila Adu
