Photo not needed if you have identified your connections! That extra tab might just for be for extra mechanical stability. If the "bright" cap is not to taste, then it can easily be removed. Have fun with the mods!

When money is an issue (and it is for most of us at one time or another), a good alternative to the SM58 is the ES58 from GLS Audio. This is a 58 clone which is really rugged, sounds similar to the 58, and sells for $30. The ES58 is not a silver bullet, but if you google you will find many...

That's what DIY/modding is all about. Getting gear to work just how you want it to!

Can you post a close-up photo of the inside of the amp, showing the pot? Generally, a single pot would have 3 connections with w (wiper) in the centre.

Cheers Mo! I suspect that your suggestions are probably exceed the limited scope of my scenario, but my DAW certainly provides a range of clocking and timecode options, and does handle BWF. Clearly I have more research ahead :cool:

A skilled tradesman knows when to blame his tools.

"Useless Pieces of Shlt". Who am I to argue?

OK. These performances are likely to be of 15 minutes duration (or shorter) per item, so hopefully minor clock variations will not be an issue. Paul

I've got a few budget suggestions ready to go. Just... need... more information....

Thanks guys. I figured it was pretty much an eye and ear thing! Clapper boards may not be appropriate in this context, since some of the performances will be in front of an audience, but I think miroslavs suggestion of aligning the HQ audio with the camera's onboard audio will work well.

I am looking for practical tips for how to approach the synchronisation of video and audio which has been recorded independently of the video camera. The scenario would be AV recording of student music performances, so in this context, synchronisation implies that the audio needs to be in time...

I think that this will be a job for a tech. Particularly if you can't get a schematic diagram. With the amp completely unplugged from mains power, visually inspect the inside of the amp. Look for things like: obviously loose wires or connections. anything that looks or smells burned out -...

Hi rell, Firstly, please don't use all capital letters. It is the cyber-equivalent of shouting and is generally considered rude. Second, please provide info about your computer. Cheers, Paul

Agree 100%. And it is not just with the DAW. Same thing happens with hardware. It's the whole "instant gratification" thing - if the desired results are not immediately forthcoming, then the software or the gear sucks. Never mind that the user did not even open the product manual, or...

Hi Tim, Welcome to HR! I'm using Mixbus (under Linux), and have also been using Ardour for a number of years. Where does Mixbus stand in development terms, in relation to the Ardour 3 engine? Cheers! Paul

For a range of well-priced and quite high performance mics, look at Naiant: Naiant - Custom Audio Recording Equipment The Naints may or may not be suitable for measurement, but Naiant's owner/designer, Jon, will be happy to address any questions. For the ECM8000, there are a number of...

You should have little trouble getting adequate gain with 71dB gain. What are you recording, and with which microphone? Are your inputs peaking at up to -12dB FS, or are you gauging by what you hear? Check that you don't have a pad engaged on either the Wa12 or on the Pro 40 since that would...

Gold! It's always the engineer or roadie's fault!

Do some critical listening (preferably on a good stereo system) of bands that you consider influential. Try to tease apart the various components of the sound by listening: placement of sound on the soundstage, reverb, evidence of compression or eq (might be subtle, might be bad?) - things...

Also, when you get the second interface, remember that you need to sync the clocks if you intend to run both interfaces at once.
