Well good luck on your test -- After being on (accidentally?) for 10 years, you should probably ace that one... And sure - I'm not expecting this signal to be super strong - Just surprised that it gives me "full bars" on the Rx meter on the radio. As far as the heating effect, I'd imagine...

The HG-2 Black Box is absolutely insane in every possible way. Got the plug on a whim and seriously considering the hardware now - ALTHOUGH - I understand the hardware doesn't have the "Mix" control as is found on the plug. When I'm using this thing (which is pretty frequently), I have that...

Yes - The USB->AES is giving off impressive amounts of very narrow-band RF. And yeah, "smart" meter. That's probably where those AM bursts are coming from every 30 seconds or so. I should have a look at that...

Didn't really know where to post this so I figured this was the best place. So I'd imagine most here know that I'm a mastering guy. I'm also a long-time radio enthusiast with various band licenses going all the way back to the 11m Citizen's Band back when you needed a license for that band...

I have a fairly complex power setup considering the rig... Mains power is its own circuit - isolated from the rest of the power in the room (lights, etc.). That may or may not (depending on the time of year) go through a large VARIAC unit to keep me at a steady 120. From there, a Monster...

57's were used since (whenever) because they require no phantom power and in this case, they're isolated *from* phantom. "Back in the day" (so I'm told by those in-the-know) there were plans found that incorporated explosives in a mic body that could be triggered by pulsing phantom power. Also...

This thread is four years old.

I assume you're referring to adding processing to the main buss (without getting heavily into semantics) -- If that's what works for you in the moment, there's nothing illegal about it.

Can't listen at the moment as I'm browsing while working (currently running a recording through the chain and gotta listen). But just commenting -- You'd probably have much more feedback in the (more appropriate for this post anyway) Mixing Clinic -- I think like 3 people watch the mastering...

1) "Normal" is what's normal to you. People invest way too much energy in apparent volume (and far too much volume). If it's not loud enough for you, hit it harder. If it's too loud, pull back. If your monitoring chain & controller isn't properly calibrated against a set reference level...

But if you're *paying them* to mix / master (hopefully not the same person), then the recording is the payer's. Then there's a level of (???) after that whether the mix settings are the "property" of the mixing engineer -- I've seen people argue that. I don't really understand it -- If...

I thought they should've changed that in the 70's. PC (Plus Cable), WC (With Cable) -- Anything would have been LESS confusing (heh... LC) than "Less Cable" IMHO. I'm *assuming* it came from the way-back when many of the mics had oddball plug and screw-on connectors (think of the Sphereodyne...

Most built-in audio I/O are ridiculously bad. If you're doing *everything* ITB, I'd still argue that even only for the monitoring DA would be worth the upgrade.

Just throwing in late - Although it's arguably "bad form" (and you should check your gain staging at the start), 32-bit floating-point files would then be the way to go otherwise. Happens frequently. "Either drop ALL your faders by (a lot) or drop your master fader by 12-15dB and we should be...

It all depends on what we mean by "hi-fi" -- If we're talking "Hi-Fi" as in overhyped over equalized loudness-contour six-way tweeter array dual passive radiator $50 boxes from the HiFi shack, probably not. If we're talking Hi-Fi as in high-fidelity (truth to the source), carefully designed...

He needs to get 1/4" down to 1/8" --

Let's add a term that's famous in Radio, TV & motion picture: Post-production.

Something like this will get you there. 3.5mm to 6.35mm Audio Cable, Female 1/4" to 1: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

Geez - I forgot all about that guy. Another drive-by that used up a perfectly decent user name.

If you don't have individual voices on individual tracks, you're going to have to rely on manual adjustments or at the very least, some mild compression.
