Bear with me on this one folks but some may not have seen this idea or link. I've been using recall sheets on my analog gear for some time now. I have line art of controls on gear that I markup with settings in case I go back there sometimes in future. I mark whats set where on sheet and store...
I'm going to stick to the mic question in my answer. I've seen all sorts of posts on various forums along that same line but most request it within some budget.
There are more than two kinds of sound on a recording but it can be brought down to just two, the sound you like and the sound you...
Destructive vs Non Destructive
You need to know the difference in destructive and non-destructive punch. With destructive you totally loose the first take of punch region. With non destructive you can revert back to old region. Destructive just records over the first take, non-destructive...
Disable in BIOS
You may even wish to check your puter documentation. Many systems have onboard hardware that should be disabled in the BIOS setup routine.
To get to that you usually hit some key, in some bios the delete or the escape key, at a specific place in the boot sequence. The BIOS...
I've noticed a good many big names converting to the KMS 105 Neuman and its Sennheiser wireless version. The 105 runs arround $500 the wireless you do not want to ask.
I can not convert $Aust. but here's a copy of a post from another board for you:

I'd bet if you look closely you will see that Rode does what I've heard hardly no one else does. It's probably spare bands for replacement. I think I read that somewhere but I have no first hand experience with their mount only Audio Technica's mount here with my 4033 pair. I've been looking...
Thanks Harvey, I now I'll have something else to try when I'm able to get a pair of omnis available.
Your ideas are appreciated but it may be several weeks before I'm back on that location. Maybe they will not be offended by me burning up a bunch of space in front and trying several things...
Have a look at about page 13 of the Shure guide. It should give you some starting out info.

Many people start out with an SM57 for this job but it's not the only choice. I'm no expert either but someone needed to point you...
Didn't ask this above
Harvey, Almost edited this in but perhaps you had already read it and would miss this question I should have asked:
I do not follow your choice of the omni. Why use an omni in a reflective space that you are attempting to tame??? Or is that not your intention. Makes me...
Harvey thanks for your speedy reply.
The choir I'm working with does not do well at all without an audience. That may be different but I've done sound checks at final rehersal several times and they sound bad but when performance time comes they sound like seasoned pros. My tapes back this up...
Maybe you answered already
I hope I've not missed this somewhere if so tell me and I'll sift back through until I find it.
Problem job for me I've yet to cure and there probably is not one but I'm asking how to minimize. From time to time I'm asked to record a choir:
1. An overly reflective...
Re thread
Harvey, I've only recently discovered it and think it is great. Yes I'm reading it and studying it well.
When I first started out in my real trade an old timer told me to tag along with someone that was older and well seasoned and they will lead you the right way. He continured...
I had the same question once about another mic. I played the safe side even though all similar mics stated that phantom would do no damage to them and did not allow phantom to hit the mike until I verified so with the mics maker. Still not a bad idea here either you never know what kind of...
