BSP-283: Expander vs Noise Gate, Line Level vs. Instrument Level, and more

On episode 283 of the BSP, I discuss a problem with the Neat King Bee II, how Turtle Beach used to be a high end audio manufacturer, why I started wearing a smart watch again, when I’d use an expander over a noise gate, whether you should use line or instrument level on your audio instrument and why vintage gear is always “better”.
