[Dragora-users] Monthly Mumble meeting

[kelsoo]

Good evening Dragorians

I would like to suggest a regular "Mumble/Utox " meeting for the first 
Saturday of the month @ 20.00 BST  (that's 3 days time)

Mumble is an open source, low-latency, high quality voice chat software 
primarily intended for use while gaming.

We can firm up details on irc.

I would suggest a first meeting be on Saturday 6th May and we use 
Frusens mumble server as the first point of contact.

If latency is an issue we can switch servers.

frusens mumble server is

gungre.ch

default port 64738


Equipment  required: Microphone & Headphones.  Be sure to turn your 
speakers off or down once you have your headphones on to stop feedback 
from the speakers back into your mic. If you don't have a microphone go 
and borrow one, As a last result you can listen and type.


You really need in-ear buds or closed cup headphones. Usb mics tend to 
work well so I've added 2 that are known to work on Dragora OOTB.


Kelsoos recommends:

Microphone:  https://www.muziker.co.uk/auna-usb-microphones because he 
has one of them and it records great.  About £50 if you shop around.

If your skint like me on occasion,  The Tonor USB Professional Condenser 
can be bought for £12 or less. n4dir uses one of these
If you really hard pushed use a phone type in ear head phones set with 
built in mic. About £5


Headphones:   https://www.muziker.co.uk/akg-k72 Because he has akg-k66 
and they  sound great. I've had them for many years and holding up well.


Please don't use inbuilt laptop mics as they pick up all-sorts of 
machine noise. Give your noisy dog a bone and nicely ask your heavy 
metal loving neighbors to go listen in the car whilst driving around a 
motorway. It will boost their karma points.

Thoughts, ideas etc welcome.
