I looked at three of the things I have. Presonus FP10 Input impedance 1.6K Ohms Tascam 1641 Input impedance 2.2K Ohms Midas M32 Input Impedance 10K Ohms That's a big range isn't it? Looking at that, the typical dynamic should be a better match to the Midas, in load terms - with a lower...

The preamp side takes it into another universe - we'd have to consider pre-amps designed to be truthful amd transparent and those that deliberately colour the sound and probably would be better described as processors? If we limited it to just a handful of preamps. 8 mics with 4 preamps bring...

I've never tried it, but in Cubase it's easy to move vocals back or forth quite invisibly? Would that work to correct iffy timing/rhythm?

They only do a good job on certain instruments that differ from others (at the moment, next month? Who knows?) I've got Spectral Layers and it can separate voice, bass and guitar - and deal with percussion, but it cannot pull two guitars apart. If your jazz combo is bass, drums, keys or guitar...

Keep in mind we are all different and somethings are easy, some hard and some impossible, but much is style. With rap, the lack of pitch means 100% is in rhythm, and which words fall on the beat and which don’t. It is also not always something you can learn, but have to feel. I have no skills...

I've got to do some prepping for stuff going out and for a week or two I'll have more mics here than usual. I think if time allows, I'll take one of all the handhelds and record the same thing on each one - voice at a foot away and the same lips on basket. Then seeing if we can identify the...

Thanks to Rich for so much effort!

Funny you mentioned radios. The official advice is never mix makes for a few sensible reasons, but for many years my favourite combination was Sennheisers with the 845 capsule running to Trantec (the British brand who used to make the early Shure systems with 58 heads). RF wise they were a very...

You could just create this yourself. Take the left and right channels, send both to a bus and do a low pass - essentially what happens in a PA processor to give a mono sub channel.

I'm a little unsure what part of their sound is 'bad'? I quite like Sennheisers - not so much the 835 head, but 845,855 and 865 are nice - but I'd happily swap an 845 for a 58 and the 865 for a 86? It's a tweak of EQ between them. I'm happy you don't like them, but 58s sound perfectly fine. I...

I'd forgotten about this. I did not know the quality changed - totally missed it!

We don't usually have people as the draw, like the US, but it seems certain that our Prime Minister will have to call an election soon, but we face a negative battle. Unlike the US where everyone seems to like one candidate, no matter what, we do the reverse, everyone dislikes both the main...

That was suggested in the UK, a while back (late 70s - I think) and the people 100% against it were the forces themselves. Only recently we've had one of the fly on the wall documentaries following British recruits. The corporals are their friend, mopping their brows - suggesting they might like...

Ive totally missed that one, I will keep a look out, thanks.

The new poster visited, posted this, and never came back. If nobody adds anything after my post this morning, ill zap this post and papinates and tims posts and it will sink back.
