What is the optimal setting for USB convo with Flex mike and direct-connection headset.
I either head nothing but garble, or get selfsustaing feedback that makes other users see red.

    I use a Rode NT pod-cast mic, USB into MacMini.

    No special settings. It is recognized by MacOS as a Mic, I simply select it as the Mic in SmartSDR Mac and it works.

    I set my gain so that loud peaks in voice just make it to just over the 0 mark. I generally don't use compression.

    Sometimes I do have to toggle the connection to some other input then back to get it to work but pretty rare.

    I do use TX eq with the mic. I setup a more natural sounding profile for the mic with better EQ but I get very good audio reports.
