    Fifty dollar mics

    Mikey, Now you're in my neighborhood. The Shure Unidyne mics are great. I prefer them to the 57 for many things. Any time you get a 545 or 565 in the $50 range you're doing good. Not as cheap but highly regarded are the SM56 (I have one) and the 548SD (I want one). The EV PL80 is one of the...

    Fifty dollar mics

    Not yet Mikey, Not yet. I've been spending my money on Christmas instead of microphones. I don't know what's come over me. Radio Shack sold these. They get good reviews everywhere. I'll end up getting one of them out of curiosity. I love my AT mics but none of them fit the $50 or less...

    Fifty dollar mics

    Ev cs15 Mikey, I found this. http://www.coutant.org/evcs15/index.html No E. Is it the same mic? Generally speaking when you get an EV mic cheap it's a bargain. Thanks, Hairy Larry

    Vintage EV Microphones

    660 and pl6 Hi, I love these older EV mics. I recently recorded a Jazz festival outside. Now I"m a believer in omnis for field recording but because of the stage situation, etc I chose my pl6 and 660 on a single stand, x-y. It was a windy day too and I did put windscreens on. The recordings...

    Matched pair condensers?

    Naiant - audio Technica daveblue222, The Naiant omnis are nice and very affordable. If you like cardiods try the Audio Technica Pro 37 (or Pro 37r, same mic). These mics have excellent high end detail. I got mine used for around $100 each. In between these in price is the MXL 603, another...

    Cheap Mics

    LOO Love Of Omnis Since you are developing a love of omnis I recommend a pair of omni dynamics. They will be a little different than your beri. EV 635, EV RE50, or Realistic 1070, a Radio Shack RE50 clone made by Shure. The EV mics are famous. Standard of the broadcast industry. Used on many...

    Adapter adapt her, but what about after that? Shadow, Here's a link to an adapter. http://www.amazon.com/Stage-MA100-Microphone-Stand-Adapter/dp/B0007Y60HG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1288045226&sr=8-1 The pipe is less expensive than the caps. Really easy to cut with a hand saw or power saw. You...

    Shock Mounts for SDC stereo pair? DIY / OTS / OL?

    DIY with PVC Shadow, This works for me. Cut 2-3 inches from a 4 inch PVC drain pipe. I used the thick wall. Notch them for your rubber bands/hair ties. Take a broken mic clip and remove the clip part. It will slide right up onto the PVC pipe and bolt or glue. Alternatively use a 3/8 European...

    MXL DRK (Direct Recording Kit)

    Plus one on the Zoom Hi, I have a Zoom H4 that I use all the time. I got it for about $200. The H4n is a little more expensive but you should get it even if only for the manual level control on the side of the machine. The condensor mics on the Zoom are surprisingly good. When you add mics in...

    File saved incorrectly on a flash card

    Thanks John, I've learned so much on this bbs because people take the time to answer questions. It's a resource for people who might have problems like this in the future. So I always try to share what I've learned myself. I was recording for my Something Blue podcast and radio show and now...

    Set 2 fully recovered Hi, I want to thank everyone for their help. I was able to fully recover the missing set that had been lost. The directory showed the fail as zero length. First and most important, if you have trouble with a flash card back the data up. Do not write to the card. I used...

    File saved incorrectly on a flash card

    What software can I use to truncate the file? It's a 4 gig flash card so the image file is rather large. I always completely delete the files on my cards after I back them up so I am hoping the audio will be contiguous. Thanks, Hairy Larry

    Who said anything about a job? John, Thanks. I will try isobuster and we'll see. I'm retired. I mostly tape for my own label or to upload to the Live Music Archive. Then I use the recordings on my Something Blue radio show and podcast. I also run Delta Boogie and the Delta Boogie Network...

    File saved incorrectly on a flash card

    Something Like That John, I only have two 4 gig cards and I'm using the other one for now while I still have hopes of recovering the missing set. I did clone a backup onto my hard drive. If I ever get a break I might try cloning it to my other card. Tomorrow I'm recording Blues Traveler...

    File saved incorrectly on a flash card

    It's a FAT32 or DOS file system Hi, Thanks for the suggestions so far. I appreciate everyone's help. The FAT32 file system is well understood. I have used sector editors to recover text. If the FBI needed the audio their forensics experts could recover it. I just ain't no forensics expert...
