I do more event style stuff with video (or try to anyway). And I seem to be ultra sensitive to sync issues. I'm rarely closer than 5 yards from my visual reference with the camcorder and mics and even though I've been syncing the external audio to match the audio that the camcorder recorded to...

With the economy down and resources light, I'm pretty much left with only upgrading shock mounts before the end of the year. From basically none to some. Any recommendations? I am currently considering three options. Something DIY. Less flexible plastic, more bungie-ish (hair braids)...

I've been in redneck mode most of the past week. I've created a mini rack out of plastic coated metal plate racks meant for the kitchen. They were just the right size. And just to be even more redneck, I took two plastic coat hangers (very springy) and put my stereo pair on the flat side and...

I've been targeting a sonosax sx-m2 for a while now. But I've come to realize that I really don't know anything about this preamp. Outside of it being two channels and battery powered. Anyone have a bigger clue than I do on this one or others like it. I'm looking at battery powered...

My dad gave up his old reel to reel tape players in the hopes of digitizing his old 8" x 1/4" reels of tape. So I've got a Sony TC-155 and TC-355. I've got the TC-155 running, but the tape is playing about 10x's too fast. Any ideal on how to calm it's nerves to normal speed? The the sticker...

I have Avenson STO-2 mics and a Korg MR-1000 with Mogami Gold cables. This rig is nice and relatively immune to cell phone interference. The mics seem sensitive to high voltage, but otherwise problemless recording most of the time. I recorded at a football stadium down town within a couple...

I've out grown my Avenson STO-2's (or would like to anyway). I've tried Shure SM-81's and they're not quite the sound I'm after. And it's proving far easier to wind proof the Avensons on the cheap than the Shures. What I'm looking for is under $1,000 (USD). Flat frequency response (What you...

Any tips? There's options I want commercially like the WindTech 2100's Navy Blue, WindTech 74169 military, some Rycote Wind Jammers White. BUT I can't seem to find any local stores that carry them to see if they fit my mics. And even non-local ones don't seem to carry the specific model and...

I guess I'm in need of some windscreens for my Avenson STO-2's. In theory the 1/4" lavalier screens are supposed to work. Even though the mics are supposedly 0.3" wide. When I stopped by guitar center, the selection was not very impressive. And at $25 per windscreen I'm tempted to make my...

I'm wanting to get a ribbon mic. I'd like one that doesn't need a mod or transformer upgrade to sound great. Something in the $100 to $200 range. Ultimately I'd like to get a stereo pair of Cascade FatHead II's with transformer upgrade. But I'm wanting something to get my feet wet, to see if...
