Hi I recently did a live recording of a jazz-quartet(sax-cello-piano-upright bass). I used two omni-microphones(km183) placed quite close to the musicians. The microphones were maybe 60cm to 1 meter apart. In addition 3 of the instruments were miked, but not the saxophone)(a DI for the bass)...

(this post has no red thread, be warned) I have to admit.. I dont what a good microphone sounds like. Or why a cheap microphone sounds bad. The same goes with converters. (I look forward to the day when I can explain why my Fostex converters sound bad, to me they sound fine) TOday I recorded a...

Hi I'm into live-recording, and recently I recorded a lot of concert in a contemporary festival in Norway, using a Fostex VF160EX. This worked quite good. The Fostex is reliable, easy to use, portable, and is one of few recorders in this price-range that can offer 16-simultaneous recording...

Hi I have a tecnical question about the Presonus Digimax LT: I want to use their insert-outs as analog outputs into my Fostex vf160ex HD-recorder. I'm wondering what cables to use. Do I really need a modified Insert-cable, or can I use unbalanced cables? I tried using an unbalanced cable...

These seem to be 2 high-quality portable recorders. Has anybody had a chance to test them? I'm particularily interested in the quality of their preamps and converters. I cant find a review about the Edirol r-4. It seems like a great portable recorder, but one thing makes me not want to buy it...

I recently recorded a concert with an acustic saxophone/church organ duo. I placed 2 microphones about 1 meter in front of the church organ. In the recording I can hear a lot pedal noise from the organ, and I would to remove some of it. Does anybody have any tips on how to do this? I'm using...
