Sound Professionals also makes a mic that looks identical to a pair of headphones. Apparently, the mic elements are where the earphones are, but picking up sounds outward instead of transmitting sound inward. All of the Sound Pro mics look very interesting --- I just haven't personally heard...

Mini-disc field recording Hi: I have done quite a bit of mini-disc based field recording. All of it done on an old Sony recorder --- usually using an Audio technica AT822 microphone. I also just recently purchased a Sound Professionals microphone (one of those plug-in "T" microphones)...

I own both the Behringer MX-802A and the Mackie CFX-12. I like both mixers. Frankly, I can't tell a whole hell of a lot of difference --- except that the Mackie is more full-featured and cost a lot more because of it. I have also used a Yamaha (can't remember the name) analog mixer of...

I wonder if any of you have had to use something in between the mixer and the amp ---- I mean, most amps are used to receiving a signal with a different impedance than what is coming out of the mixer --- How do you deal with that?

It sounds like there were two parts to your question --- mixing and archiving: You can archive your multi-track recordings from the DMT-8vl to DAT or even to recordable CD. If you are going to CD, though, just make sure you disable the automatic tracking number feature. You want to...

Anybody here ever tried or listened to the Behringer "Virtualizer"? What do you think of the effects?

I actually have recorded saws, hammers, as well as a variety of other "workshop" and industrial sounds. What I used was a stereo Audio Technica AT822. The AT mic is a good choice for general realistic sounds "in nature" --- I found it to sound pretty realistic on everything from saws to...

I have SF 4.5, but not the plug-ins you mentioned. I like it a lot, although one piece of advice I would give is not to overdo it on the editing --- It's easy to get carried away with endless EQ tweaks, compression, level-adjustment, etc. But every processing that you apply degrades the...

Does anyone out there have "Vegas Pro"? I'm thinking of trying this software out, but I was hoping for info from any current users. I have used SoundForge 4.5, and what I would like is basically the same thing extended to multiple tracks --- Is that what you get with "Vegas", or is it rather...

Hey, part of the answer to this question depends on how many analog-to-digital converters the Fostex FD-8 has (?). If it has 8, then it is possible to record 8 tracks simultaneously. If not, it still may be possible, although most or all of the tracks will have to enter the FD-8 digitally...

HI: Interesting problem. I have used both the tube MP and the dual tube MP and have found these to be pretty sensitive. Here's an atempt at further trouble-shooting: 1) Is the mic turned on (I think the C1000s have a resessed on/off switch.)? 2) Try recording anyway...

Sorry this was meant as a reply to an earlier post !!! (Boy do I feel stupid!).

Now, I'll agree that most can perceive a 15 millisecond delay. That's a delay of 15 thousandths of a second. But in 15/1000 of a second, you have about 660 samples (at 44.1k sampling rate). So the whole logic of Silent Sound's argument goes out the window. Do the math!

Silent Sound --- I got to challenge that comment about humans perceiving a 15 microsecond delay. That statement has flat out got to be wrong! The vast majority of people wouldn't even notice a 1-millisecond delay. A microsecond is one millionth of a second --- There is absolutely no way...
