You don't specify exactly which model, but here's the link to Audio Technica's list on their web-site. The specs are available as .PDF documents, which are viewable with a browser. I had a quick look, and one of the spec sheets has a pic. Red/Red is "audio +", and Yel/Yel is "audio -" , and...

The DECCA Ring - the first complete recording of Wagner's tetralogy "Der Ring des Nibelungen", was and still remains a landmark in the history of recording. The recording was produced by John Culshaw, and (IMHO) stands as a supreme example of sound recording, mixing, and production. - Wil

Ah, you want details... Well, let's see now - check out "Handbook For Sound Engineers" (edited by Glen Ballou) - there's actually a whole paragraph on XLRs - (p. 1047, para. 26.8.5.2) which tells the reader what, but not why - I would speculate that durability, reliability, standardisation...

Sheesh! I think I need to get my eyes tested... I thought the question said "Do you believe in priests..." - I mean, after all the shenanigans happening over in tax-a-chussetts... Well, actually - I have a couple of HHB Radius-40s which I love and all the eq settings on those are in pre-set...

I fully understand the first two parts of the sentence, but I don't understand the question. - Wil PS: Welcome to Home Recording dot com (yes, you're quite welcome to it - ha! ha! :) )

I have a couple of HHB Radius 40s. I've found them to be easy to use, flexible, and they're beautifully made. - Wil

Dumb question? - no such thing (well, actually the dumbest question is the one that people are afraid to ask...) Two parts to the answer: Most people use a separate mixer (or separate pre-amps) with the 1680 as Roland is not renowned for having decent pre-amps. Depends on how many channels...

Honestly, Roel - I wasn't sending you up, or trying to put you down, but really, Edley's books are pretty damned good, and his approach is quite unique. Take a look at his site, and check out some of the reviews (there are also some page examples on his site). I have both of his books, and...

Well... "Roel dun woke up dis mornin'... ..an' he had these ol' "How The Hell Do I Play Blues Piano" blues...mmm, yeah... ...yeah poor, ol' Roel was a frettin' an' a cussin'..." Hang on...(rewind...) Roel, this is what you really need: Edley Paints the Ivories Blue - brilliant book...

I have both FireWire and USB - I tend to use f/w more (2 CD burners, plus 2 x 160 Gb external drives, plus a slide-scanner, plus a flat-bed scanner) - I've had very little problems with f/w - make sure you use decent cableage though... - Wil

Sorry - check this out: (cf. silver vs. gold) Evaluation of Contact Materials - Wil

Interesting article - thanks for the heads-up... - Wil

Actually - thinking about it... gold being the most ductile of metals, perhaps it can be made thinner and lighter; although it's my understanding that the mic diaphragms are made of mylar (or whatever) and have a layer of gold (or whatever) deposited on them, so I think that the reason why...

Mercury is used in some switches BTW: Mercury (Hg) m.p. -38.842°C; b.p. 356.58°C - sorry to be pedantic... ;) - Wil

Harvey! I'm sort of surprised to hear you say that... I've always thought the exact opposite to be true... The reason that gold is used for plating contacts in electronics is that gold doesn't oxidize easily, BUT gold is EXPENSIVE, so silver is used instead, and one of the advantages of using...

Try burning at a lower rate (eg. x12 instead of x16, or x8 instead of x12) - I've found this to fix numerous burning problems - well, actually problems playing the burned CD. Hope this helps - - Wil

Here's another one: Black Orpheus I never used to like this song - I think it was the way one of my bands did it (sorta hacked it to pieces) but these chaps make it sound really nice - listen to just after the first bass solo, where the vibes come back in... magic! - Wil

Re: Re: balanced mic chord into snake... Some of the shorter snakes use Tip-Sleeve (TS) 1/4" connectors, and these are often used for as short line-level unbalanced patch cables. They can be used with balanced inputs but only using the appropriate transformer (XLR balanced --> 1/4"...

crawdad - I've just PM'ed myself, and it seems to work OK, but when I tried sending you a PM, it told me that your mail-box was full - most probably just a glitch in the system. The mix I put up on the BBS was just the rough cut. I've been doing more work on the other tracks I recorded, and...

Yup - your absolutely dead right! - totally fucking ignorant! but... as funny as hell, so perhaps you should lighten up, get a sense of humour, or get a fucking life... or both... - Wil
