    Looking forward to new Rode M3

    Not out yet but could come in handy if it's got some bass pickup and is not too harsh. Nice that it doesn't require phantom and is supposed to be quiet. Not many other battery-powered cardioids around, when you think about it. And it's black -- about time they get away from the silver...

    Convert MP3s to WAV first before resizing?

    I've got some MP3s I'm working with that need to be either shortened or stretched a bit in order to sync exactly with the master guide track. Would I be better off converting the MP3s to WAV prior to shortening their length? Or doesn't it really help any? I'd rather just leave them as MP3s...

    What's with the weird Oktava 012 freq curve?

    I'm talking about the cardioid curve here (the red line, under "Technical Specificatons"): http://www.oktavausa.com/microphone/mk012sp-Single.html Makes me wonder what effect this would have on the recording?

    Anyone tried Swans M200 as a monitor?

    Wondering what your thoughts are? Seen some great reviews over at Newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16836136102 Also saw a great review at 3dsoundsurge, saying how flat it is, similar to Genelec.

    My peaks going into the red aren't distorting

    In the past I've used compression to keep the peaks out of the red but lately I've tried cutting back on the compression such as has been recommended by engineers such as Bruce Swedien. Overall, the sound is much better than with the compression but I'm getting peaking into the red (i.e...

    New Rode NT55 specs are up

    http://www.rodemic.com/?pagename=Products&product=NT55 Mic might even be out ... or maybe next month. The info says it uses the same transformer as the NT5. I wonder if that means the same capsules, too? Wonder if it sounds just like an NT5? Someone here should be the first to get it and...

    Need recommendation for transparent software compressors

    Currently using Sony/Sonic Foundry compressor and every time I even apply it lightly (like 1.5:1) it takes the life out of the music recordings and makes vocals muddy. It's not real obvious but if you listen close you can hear it. Anyways, anyone using anything they're real happy with...

    MSHs for plug-in power

    Just wondering when these might be available? And will the specs (e.g. noise, sensitivity) be the same as the phantom units? If running a pair of these, could I do it with one 9V battery box? Or would I need two battery boxes?

    Concert hall ambiance: How high the mic stands?

    Need to record ambiance with mic's located about 1/2 to 2/3 distance back from the front. There will be an audience for the performance so I figure I need to get the mic's up in the air. My question is how many feet do I need to get the omni mic's off the floor? And any recommendations for mic...

    Okay to plug in a phantom mic with the power turned on?

    I've heard it both ways. Someone has told me they've always left the power on with no problems. Anyone know the truth about this?
