I’ve been in a similar position in the Brighouse & Rastrick band room…about a foot behind the MD’s head and up…I was trialling NOS-like CM3s at the time. Worked OK.

The sengpiel calculators are very good, but I mostly use the Neumann Recording Tool app on my phone to visualise mic arrays tweaks as it's interactive and quicker to use (and easier to do when on location). Totally agree…but I’m, er, cough on a coffee break in the office and had that bookmarked 🤣

Good that it went well but what's ortf ____ at 90*? :lol: You and me both, eh? :D For the benefit of others, the French ORTF mic array has a very precise specification: 170mm capsule spacing with a 110 degree mutual angle. If the stereo mic array doesn't have that exact spacing and that exact ...

We don't have a clear definition of nutrients so I don't think it's useful to argue it in that way. Well…I for one don’t want to survive purely on proteins and amino acids ;) That review is talking explicitly about them. I’m not here to argue with you…but by referencing one review that is - by their ...

According to this systematic review, you can get more then enough of what you need from plant based alone https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6893534/#:~:text=Amino%20Acid%20Adequacy%20in%20Vegetarian%20Diets&text=The%20claim%20that%20certain%20plant,indispensable%20amino%20acids%20%5B33 ...

Pretty much what Hugh said. The only other sometime advantage of duplication is turnaround time....it's usually in the order of a few days delivered (with a similar paper part and onbody spec) vs some weeks for replication (and that has got worse in the UK since Brexit....either longer deliver times ...

Forumuser840717 used to use them...I dropped him a line about the thread last evening...he may pop in if he remembers what he used (it was a while ago!).

Might want to think about swapping the fan out then...if you’ve not already...

There are no hard and fast rules...if someone is in the lucky situation where they have a choice, then that’s exactly what you make...sometimes it’s for practical reasons, sometimes artistic, sometimes you’re asked for something particular by a client or producer... The bottom line is that the less e ...

Welcome to (most of) my life

This is a clip of a test recording I did during a rehearsal using the CM3s in an NOS-like configuration (sorry Hugh!) to see how they’d cope on their own in a poor room where I normally multimic..apologies for the relatively tasteless reverb...I’ve recommended them to bands who have been looking for ...

I think the Line Audio CM4s are a little more rounded and smoother, and they get a lot of love, although I haven't tried any myself. I don't know how consistent their matching is -- can anyone comment? Like James, I've got CM3s not CM4s and I've not actually done any formal measuring nor used them ...

Watched earlier from the FB feed - nice one

Apologies for this incredibly basic question...but I went through a similar diagnostic with someone a few weeks ago...you are using the correct side of the mic?

They’re very nice...and there’s the lovely S/H market....

As a business expense I'd say it can be justified, and it's good to stay current... but for a hobbiest I think it really depends on whether the new stuff is directly relevant to your specific needs. Thanks for that, Hugh :) I use various bits of it on almost everything I do....but most of the new ...

I doubt it's possible from a limited bandwidth recording to "synthesise" the actual missing overtones of that voice. It is possible, with Izotope Spectral Repair. Great, any chance of an audio example please? You can experiment for yourself with the 30-day free trial of RX8. The Spectral Recovery ...

It’s a case of making the best fist of it that you can with what you’ve been given, really. It you’ve got something that’s critical but under par, and you have the opportunity to ask for it again then do so. Other than that, you can run things through declipping plugins and other associated rescue te ...

I work at a University, and many of our students are inquiring about doing live performances over Zoom. Due to COVID live performances in person are hard to arrange. It may be because it’s Sunday morning and I’m still asleep...but can you define what you mean a little more? Are you talking about the ...

It can be very addictive...

If I was listening to a piece of music on headphones and the instruments started moving about I would scream and tear them off. It's disconcerting enough when it happens because you've cocked up something in the recording and you get things moving in the image...quite often only for certain notes ...
