I didn't quite understand it like that... :D Anyhow, we wouldn't want him to go from a Blue Nessie to full ambisonic, would we? Especially since the Nessie comes with (according to the manufacturer): And by that, they mean auto EQ, de-essing, compression, and level control—in real time!

Ah, fish and chips... Now you've made me hungry :D

You've been talking to the wrong people... Talk about music. Not gear. The answer to a question like that, is "A little bit of everything. It depends on the music what I use". You need passion, not dollars. Don't offer it for free, tell them you believe in them and that you'll give them a...

Really like it! KISS: a good song with not too much window dressing in the vid. Nice.

A simple stereo mic will do that...

I've tried most of that stuff, Dave. Including the use of parabolic mics and other exotics. If it's a somewhat continuous sound, like an airplane, it can be worth the effort. But a dog barking is very dynamic. As far as my nature recordings go, a dog in the background is much, much better than...

Nothing will cancel out a yapping dog... All noise cancellation is based on continuous sound, not on sudden outbursts.

It has raw M/S mode too. So it can record stereo or M/S.

Hard to say... Depends on voices, rooms, placement. The mic itself is of lesser influence. And don't get fooled by prices. I've just equipped a small pro podcast setup with 5€ dynamic lavalier mics and these work quite well for spoken word.

No difference at all. Note that in most cases, the USB mic isn't the same as the XLR mic, even when the manufacturer sells it like that. And sometimes, even the name is confusing, like having several versions with same name, but a different order number. In general, I'd stay away from USB...

Well, you see, over here, that brand doesn't exist. And one of the popular brands (Dreft) over here changed it's formula, making it far less effective for a number of things, like chicken fat left over after making chicken stock. Dreft was also fairly good at removing old liquified rubber from...

Hi Ryan, welcome to the forum! Any USB interface or USB mic that is USB2 audio compliant works with iOS via the camera adapter. Even multi channel interfaces. One problem is that manufacturers of USB mics don't always specify that, even if that's how they work. For recording stuff like skype...

Can you define "mild"? You'd be amazed at the stuff that's in dishwasher fluids and powders for machines, fi. Since you're not supposed to put your hands in the machine, they can be quite dangerous, especially the industrial kind... I've even used ether and aftershave to clean tape heads. That...

Tri is one of the LEAST toxic solvents. It's outlawed as one of the gases that eats the ozone layer. And even that is only for large scale, industrial uses. It's still available in small quantities, but it's no longer used as a refrigerant. It used to be a common household cleaner. You seem to...

Tip of the week: Tascam TM80. Doesn't sell well, so it's dirt cheap. Of course, Tascam doesn't make mics. But they've sourced this one well. It's a Chinese mic, obviously and it isn't even a real LDC, at 18 mm. But it's very nice. I picked up two of those recently.

That "line input through the mic preamp" mantra is strange. You'll read quite often that it's better to go for an interface with TRUE line inputs. Mostly from the same people who adore vintage preamps. They just seem completely ignorant from the fact that most vintage mic preamps use pads for...

I'd listen to Ashcat. I often get files from different sources. Usually no problem, until you get long recordings. Than it can turn into a real pita. The only way to find out if it's feasible in your case, is to try it out. And since you can do that without much cost, it's a sane starting...

Wireless is next to impossible, budget wise and technically. 18 Channels would be very expensive. I'm not familiar with radio licenses in Canada, but most systems are limited to 16 channels and even that might be a stretch in urban areas. But even adding 4 channels would eat too much budget if...

IF you can give me names, I could go through my archives. If not, it's useless, cause I'm not gonna go through over a hundred disks to try and find VST's. Most other software is archived in categories, but VST's might be anywhere on the disk. Too many I didn't recall the name of when I...

Start recording and learn... The internets won't tell you what mic YOU need in YOUR room, with YOUR style of music. Any mic might work. Mic positioning and room will influence you sound more than the mic used. I've recently equipped a budget podcaster's studio with lavalier mics that cost 3,95...
