Rob, Please note that I have never measured the EIN of the Sony Hi-MD. The -124dBu(A) on my list were taken from John Beale's website. I agree that a list with...
Hi Bob, Did you get the Rode shockmounts with the NT1As? When I bought a matched pair last year they came with the mounts, but I'm not sure if they're included...
I really do love these sound maps - it is one project I hope to get my students involved in. Thanks for sharing this material. As an aside, Ian, 'Underpass sax...
Mark: Thanks, guess a dusk visit at least is needed. Walthamstow Marshes is maybe not a great place to hang around at night though. jtudor: Nice recordings on...
Hi Tom, I did get the shock mounts with the NT1As, but I have been looking at your NT1A setup here.... http://www.pterodaktyl.co.uk/tag/rode-nt1-a/ Looks good!...
Bob, I've recently moved away from using the rig shown on the site in favour of one that uses the standard NT1A shockmounts with Rycote foam windshields. It's...
Tom, I really like your new setup. Very clean, simple, light, and compact! I've looked around for a windshield specific to the NT1A but haven't found...
Hi All, I was just wondering if anyone had used en-route charts (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En-route_chart ) as a location planning tool? A combination...
Hello all. I have a Marantz PMD222 cassette tape recorder with a front panel VU meter made by Varta. Last week I was demonstrating the use of the recorder to...
Hello everyone, I was hoping to up the input level into my Fostex fr2-le by adding a good, field-friendly preamp. I looked at a few for comparison, but most...
... OK, so it was mechanically out of the bearing or stuck somehow. Pinning it probably bent the needle. You're being a bit of a bull in a china shop. The...
Thanks Dan. This is the same machine which you helped me with about 6 years ago. At that time the "Record" LED would not light if I were outside on a cold...
... I aware of that. I think that figure has aged well. ... With recorder's like the FR2-LE, I think it might have become quite affordable to (transparently)...
... Hi Paul-- I would use similar gain like that I'd use in the field for demanding conditions. I think the concept of "noise output" might be most relevant...
Thanks, Dan-- ... You're right, they shouldn't be bad, esp since the unit has an Oade Brothers Super MOD upgrade to the preamps. I'm using MXL 991s & 990s...
... Those mics are intended for studio recording of relatively high-level sounds, so their output is kind of low. Not that good for nature recording. Their...
... Dan is right that the issue is probably your microphones. FR-2LE mic pres are world-class out of the box, and your Oade mod probably improves on them. I'd...
Shirane: Fair questions, if complicated! Others will certainly tell you different things but here's my ideas assuming that the goal is a final mix to be...
... Don't worry about stereo techniques with directional microphones -- get a good set of onmi-directional mics & record mono, or spaced-omni or Jecklin disk....
Just getting some time to measure the PCM-M10. Here are my findings. I put the PCM-M10 (hereafter "M10") in record-pause for tests, to energize the PIP...
Curt and Dan, thanks so much. Do you (or anyone) have any suggestions for mics, in this case? I was wondering what folks think of a pair of AT4022 or similar,...
Steve and Mike, thanks very much for your input. Both of you got what I was driving at, which was: even though I understand there are certain types of mics...
... If you want to record stereo live, then two mics are pretty much a necessity. But if you're happy with mono, then the bewildering number of options gets ...
... Mono recording piles everything together, and some sounds obscure others. That is not how humans hear--we hear in three dimensions. Recordings in stereo...
