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.

Ive never put anything away unless it was in the way!

Tell me about the 2010. I have many AT mics but never come across this one?

I found a podcast type dynamic for the same price and that was really good too!

I saw a mic on aliexpress, and as it was less than £20, I bought one. The strange thing is that for the money, it's actually rather good. See what you think? I stuck it on a soprano sax - which is and instrument that really never records properly on bright mics.

I'd guess that's switch mode power supply, but it is NOT locked to the AC mains frequency, which is a bit odd. Looking at the 0-1K area, you can easily see the harmonics stacking up, but at 42.5Hz and then 85 etc. As Folkcafe says, next step is to isolate which AC circuit, then locate the dodgy...

The woman councillor said in social media about me, i dont trust men in white trousers, so i went to one of their meetings in person. I didn’t speak but it was great fun watching the people nudge each other and point to me. Best thing is the mayor at the start of the meeting asked them all to...

Not quite world famous. never heard of this one?

I was cooking for an old friend tonight. We've not seen her for a few years and as she's in the area - I said come to ours and I'll cook. This morning she texted to say brilliant see you at 6 - you remembered I'm vegan, but does dairy and fish? Funny kind of vegan. My usual choices are therefore...

Ha! As I was loaning a few bits and pieces (they don't usually do music events there) I watched it from the very top tier. The sound in that video clip is grim. In honesty, it wasn't any better anywhere! Loud music in the round is really hard to do. The PA people sort of shook their head when...
