I recommend one of these: In my experience, it has the perfect frequency response, pick up pattern, ouptut level and sensitivity for rap.

Super cardioid mics are more directional to the front but have more pick up directly behind them than pure cardioid. This diagram gives an illustration of the problem: The best rejection from a super/hypercardioid mic is about 30-40 degrees behind the mic (depending on the exact pattern)...

Adobe have just posted in their user forums that Creative Suite 6 (including the new version of Audition) will be formally announced at NAB next week. They've also posted this list of highlights and features: Audition CS6 Highlights: Real-time and rendered clip stretching in multi-track -...

Over on the Adobe U2U forums, one of the Audition developers posted a link to a sneak preview of a new version of AA (CS6). You can watch it HERE. I think I've spotted the return of things like Metronome and CD burning by looking at the menus they show....looking forward to more details!

They're smarter that you think. By age two, our youngest knew which faders to push on a DM1000 mixer to bring up the sound from my DAW...and how to start the DAW playing. Now 7, he thinks nothing of plugging in a mic, patching in some reverb and yelling "get up you lazy bones" at a level...

Well, in this context, DAW is, indeed, "Digital Audio Workstation" in this context (though I prefer "Delicious Australian Wine"). An interface is exactly that: a device to interface from analogue audio signals to digital information a computer can handle and back again so you can listen to...

Sure. Here's 20kHz at 44.1 sampling, zoomed into individual sample level again. Nyquist was right!

Really? I guess I need new glasses because this digital tone (1kHz, 0dBFS) looks remarkably like a sine wave to me: (I've zoomed in to actual sample level resolution--that's the dots on the wave. This is a 44.1 sampling which is probably the lowest resolution anybody would use for music...

Nah. He bought a set of these: Very little pickup from the off-axis direction!

But the Thunderbirds team were GOOD guys! That couldn't be Moresound! I was thinking more of that villain from the old James Bond film. Heck, that silver missile thing could even be a giant microphone if you squint your eyes!

Have I shown you what I play with when I do the odd freelance shift at the local theatre?

Good point, Hakea. I've done an edit to add a section about "mixers as a control surface" which should clear this up.

A recurring theme of questions here on HR is about mixers. "What mixer should I choose?" "How do I hook up my mixer?" "Why doesn't my mixer sound good?" (and all sorts of variations of the above.) Anyway, I thought I'd try to set down some mixer information in one place. The first and most...

Have a look at the new LINE 6 MIXER for both live and recording applications. No faders, very few knobs and a touch screen control surface more like a video game than audio hardware. Or, how about this BEHRINGER/iPAD MIXER that has conventional faders and knobs but uses a slotted-in iPad for...

Nothing like as small as the ones Moresound posted about but I use tons of these for all sorts of things: Admittedly, it's mainly live but you can hide them in the hairlines of actors in plays and musicals, clip them to ties or lapels for corporate stuff (or TV)--and they also work well taped...

Different mics have different off axis responses but it's certainly not true to say that SDCs always have more off axis pickup than LDCs. Indeed, though any generalisation is unwise, SDCs generally have LESS off axis pick up. Just as an example, here's the polar pattern for an SE2200A LDC...

A friend sent me THIS LINK which gives three instructional videos of techniques to use when using a mic for live vocals. There's some useful info there for anyone doing any live gigging.

Okay. I've come close to duplicating your experiment. The results are less dramatic in Audition than Soundforge but I CAN see artefacts at the points of level change even though there shouldn't be any attack/release since the threshold is below everything. Here's my original: And here's...

It looked black to me...just with the backlight highlighting the satin finish in some shots like this: Did you mean 391 (rather than 351) or is there an AKG mic I need to investigate? I've got a couple of 391s (better known as "Bluelines") and agree they're a very nice mic. I often use them...
