I do love technology. If it weren't for technology, many of us wouldn't have the careers we have, or the ability to work from home from places like Fort Myers, FL!

However, I don't really like when I have technology snags. Last week I had a snag.

Had a popping/crackling sound... not constant... it would come and go, in my audio. All of the sudden, out of the blue.

I recently had my Symetrix overhauled, so it likely wasn't that. With the help of some other vo friends and their troubleshooting, we thought maybe it was my board. So I bought a new Mackie 802-VLZ3.  Turns out it wasn't that... still had the problem.

So then I deduced that it must be the mic.  I called Sennheiser, and I have to tell you, they are the NICEST, MOST PROFESSIONAL folks you'll ever deal with. I received personal service from a gentleman nameed David. I sent my mic back to Sennheiser, where they tried to replicate the problem. Unfortunately, they could not.  However, to me the proof was that I borrowed another Sennheiser MKH416 (just like the mic I sent back) from Randy Thomas to use in the meantime, and I've not had a single issue.  So it must be the mic!!!  Right??!!  We're mystified they couldn't replicate the issue.

However, they were so cool about it... that they are sending me a brand new mic to replace mine.  How great is that? 

Keeping fingers and toes crossed that all tech issues have been solved.
