It depends on your budget and goal. v67g ----- 30Hz - 20kHz 130dB SPL 20dB Noise 74dB S/N Cardioid and kind of flat response for an LDC. According to specs anyway. AT2035 ----- 20Hz - 20kHz 148dB SPL 12dB Noise 82dB S/N Cardioid Being a trombone player, I'd have to go with the 2035 (SPL /...

What type of tape? - The big several inch wide stuff used for studio stuff BITD? - The reel to reel machines used for elevator music and airline flights, before the advent of mp3 players? - The traditional cassette / cheap deliverable before CDs were so popular? What you need: - Something to...

Do you live anywhere near a guitar center or other audio outlet of sorts? Mic clips are like $5-ish. I tend towards stereo bars myself. Heftier stand adapter, but I DIY a lot of things these days. With a little PVC and ingenuity, you can make most things at a fraction of the costs. Hardware...

It depends on "the job". Condensers can be good mics, hot output, lower perceived noise floor, don't have to be so close to the subject. But that can be just as problematic. Dynamics like the SM58, or SP1 can solve a lot of issues. I'm sure that you'll find that out quick enough. Handling...

What type of quality are you going for? If you're sticking with the R16, obviously 6 out of 8 mics will need to NOT be phantom powered, or be supplied that power by external means. Otherwise 8x SM58's shouldn't cost you that much. If quality doesn't matter, I think Nady has some $10...

I'm gonna assume that you want to make an audio CD? The audio CD format is fairly well documented. 2 channels 16 bit 44.1kHz sampling rate Big Endian byte order Trimmed to full seconds or 1/75th of a second (It's an optical disc thing) Most burning software takes care of most of that (except...

Bundled software is generally "lite" or 30 day trial. Or 2.x versions old anyway. i.e. Even if you get the bundle, you're not going to use IT anyway. So why base your inflated price for something too old or crippled to be of use anyway? On a side note, one of my M-Audio Mobile Pre's that I...

It depends on the venue too. A 21 gun salute is a tad louder than some hunter in the woods from a distance. Or using actual artillery (even with blanks) while a band plays the 1812 overture on the 4th of July.

fmit in linux. With that whole jackd thing and qjackctl to make the connection. Not exactly easy to set up and fine tune, but it does the job. Given a microphone input chain / DI and all that jazz. And soundcard support.

The AGC of the camcorder might not cope, but I'd doubt you'll ruin said mic. Unless you're using the mic for target practice. Or you're micing from in front of and near the business end of the gun. High SPL shouldn't hurt the mic(s). A strong burst of air, or something with a little more...

If all you need is a desktop mic stand you might be able to get away with a gooseneck. But pretty much any extension like that plus shockmount plus mic plus cable plus whatever is going to make it top heavy. With a tripod base, you can put a leg directly under the weight imbalance, but on...

SM81's are a common mention for guitar. They're very directional as well. But as previous said, anything sensitive enough to get the nuances will get EVERYTHING. If you get the 81's you should probably get some shock mounts for them as well. I'd probably get the KSM141's myself.

My headphone specs say they go up in that range. But in practice not really. Of course dropping them a couple times probably doesn't help. Headphone specs are always exaggerated IMO. Like you're going to get 5Hz from a little 3" or less cone. While vacuum sealed against your head.

Bats are good up to 50kHz. And in terms of annoying sounds of the world, I think they have a pretty good market share.

In terms of EQ in that 10kHz to 20kHz realm I notice cymbals, snares, mallets (marimba / vibes), and spoken word get brought out in a mix when boosted in that range. A lot of mics start to taper down pretty quick after 20kHz, if not before there. And the sample rate for 44.1kHz doesn't really...

With sox it's fairly easy to create tones to test your hearing range. (or the range of your speakers) $ play -n synth 5 sine 15000 gain -1 $ sox -n -s -2 -c 2 -r 48000 something.wav synth 5 sine 15000 gain -1 Or something like that. One plays it, the other creates a WAV file of it. Change...

So when Doctor Who talks about polarity, I should just make a fist of rock and yell rock on? Sure, polarity if you're talking about PRE-recorded tracks. But post recorded tracks? When dealing with the resultant data, not the signal chain. i.e. Two tracks (top and bottom) to be mixed...

It depends on the interface. For those that allow it. XLR is for mic level input that uses the interfaces preamps. TRS (1/4") will be for line level and bypasses the preamps. But not all interfaces work that way. And some might only work that way on certain channels, but not all channels...

Check the specs on your speakers. Most of the conventional PC speakers cut out at about 16kHz. I've recently tested mine near 17kHz, but I don't have any monitors at the moment to produce, much less test frequencies higher than that.

does it? I never hear anyone talking about polarity issues. But phase issues are common and expected. My tracks are so out of polarity... Never heard anyone say that IME. The menu item in audacity is Invert. Says neither phase nor polarity. But if it's wrong, I bet you 9 out of 10 times...
