I'll be doing some sound for a small opera production of Gian-Carlo Menotti's opera Amahl and the Night Visitors in a few weeks. We have some subtle sound reinforcement to assist in dialogue, and the lead is a 14 year old (my daughter's debut!) who will be wearing a wireless lavalier body mic...

Anyone used one? 16 channel / 4 bus / stereo mains, looks like a solid unit, presently bumping around $ 250 on ebay. What are the preamps like? Is this a step up from Mackie or a step sideways? Thanks.

Newbie question - To what extent does a 64 bit Athlon CPU @ 1.8 gHz trump a P4 @ 3 gHz? Assume both running a 800 mHz front bus and feeding 1 G RAM, XP home, no weird complications. Is the difference really to be found in the design of the motherboards or does the chip itself really rule the...

I'm looking at a system and have a SATA / IDE compatibility concern. If I build a sytem using a mboard that is SATA compatible, what should I look for to know that I can substitute my existing parallel drives for the time being? Are these boards typically backward compatible that way or do I...

I began to shake and panic... The ebay link is HERE. I usually don't post a bunch of ebay stuff, but just get a load of this...

Pray for me... Are newer motherboards going to hiss at me if I try to use older hard drives? ATA / SATA compatible boards and IDE drives? I'm trying to pinch pennies. Have a Matrox dual monitor card, a Sony CD/R and a couple of drives that are fine - 20 G and 80 G. Am looking at an Intel...

I upgraded v. 3.3 from 16 to 24 bit and added a Delta 66 interface to my Win98SE Dell. Now N-Track is stuttering like hell when I move either digital or analog streams from my tracker aux into the Delta inputs. The clock runs for a couple of seconds, pauses and then keeps going. On playback...

What's a Soundfield Type mic? From YuriK: What is a "Soundfield Type" mic? I'm only aware of 3 versions of the soundfield system. There are phseudo-surround system from Shoeps, but I do not know of too many others. Other then the SPL Area5.1. http://www.spl-usa.com/Area_51/in_short.html...

Think again. :eek:

... would be appreciated. My sound card is wheezing badly and I need to do something. There's no budget but I found a used EWS88MT and may end up getting it. I've done the search thing here and scanned Google for reviews. There aren't many but what there is seems uniformly positive. I'll be...

I've been trying to get the old style acoustic recording thing down. This was a take from a concert May 19th featuring the Rusty Romance Revue at the Lost Nation Theatre in Montpelier, Vt. These guys are "my band" - the first band I've ever been associated with where I don't play or sing...

This was a live recording with "my band" (I play the mixer) - The Rusty Romance Revue during a concert May 19th at the Lost Nation theatre in Montpelier Vt. This was a straight band setup, tracking eight lines to a DPS16 via a Mackie mixer, digital transfer to computer, rendered in n-track...

I have become involved in a local music school; this is a live take of one of the faculty at a benefit concert we organized. We leased a 7' Steinway for the occasion and generally had a jaw-dropping time. Two Crown small diaphragm condensers in a stereo pair sent signal to a DMP3 preamp...

Good / bad / indifferent? A 24 ch 8-bus S/L (Carvin's high end) with a meter bridge is about $2K. Any experiences to shed light on the bang-for-the-buck issue? Let the games begin... :cool:

I'm biting off more than I can chew again. Recently I was asked to take on a project that is a bit of a "holy grail" search. A local artist performs with a violin that can be majestic in live performance, but to date has sounded merely nice when recorded. I can't miss this opportunity but I'm a...

I'm getting drool on the keyboard again, but I don't know anything about these. EBAY - MADISON SUBWOOFERS Anyone have experience with these? Thanks.

Jon Gailmor Live at the Phoenix Fest. More info at the Charlie Mingus thread; this one is by a local singer / songwriter who started the day off. June 2003. This needs a little more low end, but there was quite a wind coming through the mics. I gotta fool with it a bit... You Can't Keep A...

As I don't really have a studio space, I've been spending my energies trying to learn about tracking and mixing live peformances. I'm beginning to go through a bunch of the live tracks I've been hoarding for a while. This one is from Montpelier's Phoenix Fest, where we had a full day's worth of...

Yowwee! Jeez, these things are nice. At first, it's a bit like learning to drive a tractor trailer in reverse: once you back over the neighbor's bimmer everything else seems pretty easy. I picked up a Matrox dual head card on ebay and found a used set of 17" monitors locally; fifty bucks in...

New tune up; this is from a live cut. There are some intonation issues, but lemme know what you think. I'm geting a lot of background hum when I monitor this, but I don't think it comes from the track. My soundcard took a static hit and I suspect it is on life support. Let me know if you pick...
