    Oh no... a Snowball... Those things overdrive like crazy.
    Overdrive?
    Yeah, they clip easy.
    Maybe you should turn the volume down?

    I bought a snowflake because I kept hearing from Snowball owners that they clip easy and that the snowflake was the way to go.

    That's not really how that works, though. It's pretty difficult to clip at the mic itself. If you tried to record a loud band with a really cheapo microphone you probably could. Blue USB mics are overpriced but, as far as I know, they shouldn't be that crappy. Clipping is almost universally solvable by just turning the gain down.

    I haven't noticed anything but I only use it for voice, nothing extremely loud.

    Dynamic mics are almost impossible to overpower: your amp or recorder will max out and clip long before the microphone has any problem.

    Even condensers are safe to very high volumes. 99% of the time you clip, it's the mixer/preamp/pad/recorder that's the problem.

    I'm totally loving the BP monitor on your desk. Hypertension is serious business to George.

    Well, I'm no longer the only person without a desktop. Still the only person whose desk isn't cool.

    My desk is a huge chunk of wood with a laptop and monitor on it, with a nest of external hard drives and cables on one side. How is that cool?

    You're Luke Burrage. Being your desk, by default, grants things to be 20% cooler.

    You have a monitor, and cool equipment. I have a pink stapler. That's all.

    That is my elementary school desk, with a beach towel as a cushion for my arms.

    You have a compy, monitor, and Xbox controller. That's way cooler than me, I'm on the first page.

    I kinda like your bare essentials desk.

    I'm glad other people don't think I'm dumb, but I can't wait to replace this netbook with a desktop, get my awesome desk-space at college back, and have access to my roommate's big TV-monitor occasionally.

    Hey, I remember when we got those Moon Raker Posters. Mine is still in my stuff around here somewhere.

    I finished cleaning and rearranging the play room. I had to make space for baby things in part of the basement. Also, I needed to consolidate books to make room for more.

    Do you like my salmon-colored 1980s carpet? Do you?

    That's not salmon. That's brown. Beige at best.
