See ad here: Bass Traps (Acoustic Treatement) R21 density Well-built Uses Ultratouch (no formaldehyde) Email me pmpsammarco at gmail dot com Thanks, Pietro

Tame your room's nasty eigentones I built these bass traps using Ultratouch, which is shredded denim... and, though fire-rated, it doesn't use formaldehyde like the pink stuff, and doesn't itch... and it's absorption coefficients are as good if not better... All are well built, R21 density...

Hello A question for people living in montreal and make absorbers out of cotton or hemp, etc, insulation (ie- not fiberglass or mineral): Where do you get your material? I recently finished some corner absorbers, made of Ultratouch, but I had to ship it from ontario... I wonder if there's a...

Hello I've been researching for a few days now which external hard drive to buy I'm looking for a 7200 RPM external drive, about 300 gigs, give or take I would like to record to it (using digi 002 rack) At first I was thinking I needed firewire 800 or it would be too slow, but now I've...

hello I'm sure some of you are recording music for media other than CD music albums Specifically, I'm wondering, those of you involved in film/tv music, mono-compatibility... is it something to worry about? Should I be using mono-compatibile stereo micing techniques if I know the music will be...

I often find I need to EQ sounds to remove a spike at around 150hz.. sometimes it's 160, sometimes 155, sometimes 148-ish... the fact that it happens often makes me worry... it means a possibilty of a few things: 1. I'm consistently recording spikes through the combination of my recording...

Hello I'm interested in getting the MK-101 for the MK-012's I already have I'd like to capture very warm vocals... by warm I mean reduced highs... Yes, frequency response is the relationship between all the equipment and the performer and room, etc.. but I'm convinced my current mic is most...

There's another thread on here that touches on making XLR to TS cables, but I need to clear up something specific: I'm trying to build cables to connect my Sytek's balanced output (XLR) to my RNC's unbalanced input (TS) Looking at RANE's notes on interconnecting, I'm looking at the table...

[OOPS maybe this should be in recording techniques.. how can I move it over?] I just purchased a pair of oktava mk012's with six capsules I'm very excited about stereo mic'ing, but I'm wondering about the hypercardioids... I'll be using one for boom operating, but what will I use a matched...

I suppose they don't exist, huh? A matched pair of at4050's? Not listed anywhere...

I know doo wop was rather diy, so I don't know if you could really categorize anything as being a doo wop recording technique really... but anyone come across good books and/or websites that talk about recording doo wop music back in the day? I'm recording a neo-doo-wop song soon, and wanted to...

Hello I thought this could be of interest to other audio people... A friend and I have started up a non-profit audio magazine called Spoox. Spoox wants to serve as an outlet for audio that's too strange to be published otherwise. The only criteria for submissions is that it's strange and...

hello I've been trying to use the L2 Limiter plugin and am a little confused. I am working at 24bit / 48Hz with the intention of putting this audio to CD, so converting the audio to 16bit / 44.1HZ at the last stage. I need to use the limiter on the audio, so I guess I should requantize for...

Hello I have a matched pair of ADK Vienna's (have a bit of a bump at 5k), a bunch of 57's, a beta 52, and a bunch of homemade mics. I record a variety of styles, but am concerned more with character than a scientifically clean/true/uncoloured recording I'm using a Digi 002 rack, which has mic...

hey there, I made a fretless cookie tin banjo. Check photos and an audio clip out on my site (recorded with an electret I made...yay!): http://geocities.com/pietrosammarco/cookietin.html very easy to make if you have the patience, and extremely worth it pietro

Hey there, I'm also about to build an electret mic (phantom powered) I was wondering where to get suitable replacements for the WM-61AY (and/or 60) electrets now that Digikey's discontinued them... I've heard people mention the TS-60A is a good replacement, but I can't find a distributor in...

I'm going to look at one (I'm not sure if it includes the capsule...just sent an email to see if so). Was wondering if anyone has tried one out...if there are any serious issues to look out for, etc. I've never used interchangeable capsules... kind of scarey...I mean it's just one more joint...

Hey there, Not a fancy question: I found a couple of tweeters and ripped some mics from telephones in the alley here and felt like turning them into a mics (yeah, probably crappy, but just for "fun") Is it as simple as soldering the positive to pin 2, and negative to pin 3 of an XLR plug...

What's the difference? I've read the specs etc... it seems like the difference is that the XLII is a bit brighter? Is that true? Or is there something more? I wish the manufacturer's site would have a small section where they would just straight up tell you the differences between similar...

New Guy question: Are Ohms are purposefully "put in place"/"decided" by the designer to protect speakers? I'm looking to buy a pair of the Sennheiser HD280. The Pro or Silver has an impendance of 64 ohms, versus the HD280-13 which has a 300 Ohms rating I'm recording and providing foldbacks...
