Someone missed the deal of the century.

With some of the chatter going on about getting "vintage" sound, I did a casual search on tape saturation simulation circuits. Of course, no hardware is going to saturate exactly like tape but I found a circuit which purportedly comes close. It looks easy and cheap to build (perhaps the...

I am looking for practical tips for how to approach the synchronisation of video and audio which has been recorded independently of the video camera. The scenario would be AV recording of student music performances, so in this context, synchronisation implies that the audio needs to be in time...

Chip Quik. Chip Quik: Easy removal of surface mounted devices Marketed as a SMD removal kit, I used it to remove a through-hole resistor from a 2-sided through-plated board. It can be challenging to re-work a through-plated board, particularly if solder has wicked right through the hole. You...

What? Me worry?

312 Clone?…CineMag Transformers?…$449? Yep! warm500front

I never clip leads before soldering either. I solder a bunch of components, double check that they are in the right place and correctly oriented, and make sure that the solder join is good. Then I clip. One thing I find really handy is an inexpensive plastic lead bending tools like these...

Oh, I have an un-smashed version as well! Needs to be cranked up a bit...

What settings is everyone using when converting WAV to MP3?

Just embarrassed about butchering Rami's awesomeness. Oh well. Apologies in advance... Paul

The CT100 is a nifty and inexpensive tool for quickly testing free and installed cables. It accepts all standard connectors including XLR, 1/4" and 1/8" TRS, RCA and midi. You can test for shorts, continuity and intermittent faults quickly and easily. There are test tones available, and a...

With some time off from work, I have been able to find my DIY mojo again, and work through a few audio construction projects. DIY Audio components (DIYAC) produce a hand-crafted ribbon mic, the RM-5. This mic has had some very favorable reviews, and retails at €295. A few months ago, DIYAC...

I finally found time to assemble my JLM Audio Baby Animal 2. For this build, I used Joe's custom 1:4 input transformer, John Hardy 990c opamps, and Carnhill output transformers. Because of the high gain of the JH opamps, I was able to tweak the gain to achieve about 78dB. I have only done...

READ THIS: Using an SSD of any brand as a session drive WILL cause timing issues. - Gearslutz.com Read. Weep. :facepalm: That thread is now closed, by the way.

So, does your SM58 look like this: If so, then you must have an xlr cable plugged into the mic. I assume that the X-FI takes a 1/8" plug like this: If so, then you must have some kind of adapter between the mic cable and the 1/8 plug. Yes?
