    Youth Choir Recording

    BigRay, how far up off the ground do you have to get the ambiance omnis if they are placed amongst the audience? For example, would 6 feet off the ground be enough? You mix ambiance about 10-15 down? That's a coincidence because I mix it between 9-18 down. I guess with you being similar I...

    Youth Choir Recording

    Great recording, BigRay. I did have a few questions if you don't mind. Regarding the omnis about 30 feet back, what is the reason for pointing them upward rather than forward? And what is the reson for elevating them up high off the ground? Regarding your three center mic setups (i.e...

    Recording live for money

    I did get a call from someone wanting me to record a piano concert. The first question they asked was "what mic's do you use?" I turned down the gig at the time because I wasn't doing that type or recording.

    Rat Shack PZM mod

    Have you heard how the new ones compare to the old ones? P.S. I think "PZM" is a trademark of Crown and the other similar mic's have to all themselves "boundaries".

    Recording live for money

    I'm not in the industry but I've heard that the vast majority of bar gigging bands don't have the cash to pay for this. I was recently at a local bar where the band played for the evening. (Nirvana, Creed, Bush, STP.) Anyways, I seen the bar manager hand out about $500 to the band leader (end...

    Best way to learn recording

    Well, I've been doing the recording craft about 2 years and I still have very much to learn. One thing that I'm doing is to take my best shot at the tracking and then listen critically later and make notes of what I did wrong. For example, on my last session I neglected to take into proper...

    One of my concerns with using a figure-8 ribbon (which I've never used before) is that the back side will pick up crowd noise and I'm looking for isolation. Or is this concern unfounded because the gain will be down so low due to the loud trumpet that no crowd noise will be picked up?

    Need mics for live "harsh" trumpet and sax

    Looking for something to mellow and smooth out the harshness. Right now using a handheld vocal mic with the result being very harsh. What are some good options to consider? (I would consider a directional ribbon but that's not in the budget.) Thinking maybe some handheld dynamic, or maybe a...
