You have each source connected to a pre-amp, and each of those goes to another pre-amp? OK. What you have to understand is gain staging. Every connection stage has to work at optimum - so assuming the first interface is the 'highest quality' one, you set the gain stage there to be at the optimum...

I don’t understand its the same on a mixer or a preamp? You adjust each preamp gain knob to set the level on its way into the mixer or preamp. That way every channel will have undistorted but optimal level. It also means that some faders will end up very low compared to others, that is very...

Ha you don’t need permission. Recording has rules that everyone learns are really guidelines, that breaking once they fail is perfectly. Now i am ancient, my personal warning bells ring whenever you get asked to record solo violins and violas, any brass, and to a lesser degree, small woodwind...

Not sure if you're interested, but I have a spare EV320 which I'd happily loan you if you cover the postage. I'm not using it - if you fancy experimenting with a different kind of mic?

My business is split between music/entertainment and radios. As in mostly boat radios. I supply the prestigious Japanese brands, but also a number of Chinese ones. I discovered that two radios I sell at the premium end - one a handheld and the other a boat mounted version have GPS, which means...

How about this one? tube mic

Forget calling the pairing of 2 mics on a bar X/Y or ORTF, or DIN or the others - stereo, because close in, they're being used totally differently that the usual stereo application. The way these techniques work is to do with a couple of two main features. Differences in volume from one mic to...

I think we are hearing the hole in the middle. Both mics missing the nicest area of the harp. four feet away probably means the inverse square law reduces the furthest strings too much, too quickly. Assuming they’re symmetrical, you create a blending f two mics that ‘blur’ the crossover point...

For VO work don’t your clients want just the raw audio? Then they adjust their end to match what else is going on? Audio beds, sfx, that kind of thing. The last thing I would want would be any kind of processing I can’t remove?

I would stop right there and use it as it is. I expected dull, muffled, boxy audio - it wasn't. I seriously doubt if you will even hear the swap to rockwool. Seriously - your voice and the space work 100%. There is a little strange sibilance - but it's minor and probably the angle of the mic to...

I liked that. Did I notice anything? The only thing that jarred was the keying on the guitar, when his headstock vanishes and sometimes bits of him and the guitar body, but I suspect you just got given the footage and the error is in the media. In premiere that i use, there is a moving mask...

Out of those two, you can control the Roland with an ipad? Sounds wise - they both have a decent selection and seem to sound OK - the Roland electric pianos I like better. The only snag with these products is that they're built to work with the home organ style customer. Select reggae, play a...

I suppose the first question has to be what the harp sounds like sitting there, in the room? A sample of the problem would help no end, but all those mic techniques capture space - usually filled with multiple distinct sound sources. AB, close in is simply two mics - like people use on guitars...

I think we need to hear an example. I can imagine the sound. The thing you've got is the fact foam only works on the top bit of the spectrum, and rockwool will indeed go lower - the question is where your voice energy actually is? a bass baritone needs more treatment than somebody with a much...

I sort of get some of the clones, but all the plus points that make a classic mic appear to be missing? Very odd?

I think your last comment is for most of us the only way. We do not have access to the software to do it properly by actual planning and predicting. I think most of us are reactive. We do the sensible stuff, then listen and fix what we don't like, and scrap things that don't need doing - and if...

I thought of getting one to see, but it's too much money. Interesting though. aliexpress mic

They can sing - not bad, but certainly NOT brilliantly. As I have repeatedly said - reviewers do not happen to need to be able to do what they review, just be able to critically comment. I can sing a bit. Enough to be paid. Oddly, we have numerous people ask for opinions. They always take...

OK - now we are into the insults, because I do not hear what you do, that is it for me. You are totally closed minded. The city noises sound like the old backgrounds we played in from CDs for video and film. REAL intrusive noises that would wreck a distant mic recording. Where are the horns so...

My motivation is because I firmly agree with Wings of Pegasus's Fil. He is right more than wrong. I will say this again - You do not need to be able to do something to be competent in analysing, commenting and in some circumstance grading it. If your skill set enables accurate and analytical...
