    Figure-8 mic needed for MS micing

    For something really cheap, try two SM-58s (or any other cheap cardioid) back-to-back, with the phase reversed on one - get the elements as close together as possible. I think it might work - what does Harvey think? - Wil

    fans of key changes within songs

    Modulation - refers to the changing from one key to another in the course of a section of a composition by evolutionary musical means (not just stopping and starting anew in another key) and as part of the work's formal organization. I think you're referring to the latter part of the definition...

    Earthworks TC30K on the kick

    I'll go out on a limb and say that I agree with you. I really don't know anything either, but just don't do it with mine - OK? ;) - Wil

    Earthworks TC30K on the kick

    The TC30K is rated at 151dB, whereas the Shure Beta 52 has a max SPL rating of 174dB. I've used my TC30Ks as overheads, or (mostly) as spaced-omnis - in both applications I've found them to work really well. I'm sure the TC30K will work great on a kick-drum, but like most condenser mics, they...

    ecm 8000's....help!

    You don't say what configuration you're using, but being omnis the ECM8000s won't work well if you use them in a coincident config (X/Y). If you use them in a spaced config, you will need to make sure that the distance between the mics is at least 3 times the distance from the mics to the...

    PZM mics

    You're correct in that PZMs are made by Crown - however, er, um - I always thought a boundary mic to be one which eliminates phase cancellation by measuring the air pressure changes between a small condenser diaphragm and a large boundary plate. So how is this different to a PZM? All...

    The Clementi Sonatinas

    ...but the question is why did he give up on them? Were they: (a) too difficult (b) too easy (L v B didn't feel challenged) (c) sounded awful (so why should L v. B even bother, considering he had a set of 32 of his own, most of which are pretty darned good...) (d) perhaps he couldn't hear...

    PZM mics

    I quite often use a couple PZMs taped to the wall, either in from of or behind the band. They're really easy to set up, and do a great job of picking up exactly what is happening in the room, so if you have a great sounding room, using PZMs can be a very simple, easy micing solution as they're...
