Hey people! I've got more binaural action for you! For those of you not familiar with the process, I'll explain briefly. This recording was made with tiny omnidirectional capsules places directly in my ears. This way, everything is recorded as the ear hears it. When played back in headphones...

Hey people! I just did the deed and got a pair of these... http://www.etymotic.com/product_list/product_list_product.asp?audience_category_id=1&product_type_id=4&product_number=ER-15 They are earplugs that are designed to have FLAT FREQUENCY RESPONSE! See the graph...

Just did this one today around lunchtime. www.hoppehome.com/binaural/06-20-02 Magnificent Mile.mp3 Warning: 22MB! Again, you must use headphones for this! The better they are, the more realistic this will sound. It starts out with me walking up to the corner of Michigan and Ohio. I stand...

I was up in Wisconsin today visiting my parents. They have a nice woods behind the house. I made this recording with my trusty Marantz PMD-650 and a pair of tiny omnidirectional mic capsules stuck in my ear canals. Basically, it's me walking through the woods. Lots of walking sounds, sticks...

There was some question about the effectiveness of the B1's internal shockmounting, so I've done a few tests. I only have a V67 to compare it to, which might not actually be the most fair because the V67's bass rolls of sooner than the B1, so it's inherently less prone to noise. I won't draw...

OK, there has been some debate here about the quality of an MD recording versus a lossless format like DAT. Now, I certainly will admit that ATRAC compression is inherently NOT identical to the native 16-bit 44.1K format, but my question is... Can you hear the difference? I personally don't...

Being the "audio geek" in my IT department, I have been charged with picking out a portable PA system to be used when the suits want to hold a meeting in front of a large group. I've picked out the Samson EX30 portable PA as being perfect for our purposes. It's a nice all-in-one portable PA...

I just received my MXL1000 / Fox package from 8th Street. The MXL1000 has a different kind of windscreen than it used to! There is no more of that tight little ball around the capsule, it is now a foam windscreen that fits tight to the inside of the metal mesh. Check it out... Compare...

Middle Atlantic / Shure Popper Stopper $23! Good deal... I just got mine in and it is a Shure branded item, but looks identical to the Mid Atlantic unit.

Parts Express is having this as one of their "Deals of the Day" http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&PartNumber=242-412&DID=7 I have no idea if this is a good mic or not, just thought I'd pass it on if it is! Anyone used one of these? Parts Express is a dream to deal with by the...

I'm just got a portable Marantz Pro MiniDisc recorder, and I'll occasionally be using it for interviews. I already have a pair of MXL 603s condensers. Are they a good choice for interviewing or is there something better? I kinda worry about the 603s with that rather exposed condenser element...
