This is something I usually do my best to minimise while recording if I can, and have found that sipping water with a bit of powdered Vitamin C in it works particularly well.

Well I have to admit to being amazed by Generation X, not only an unexpected entry by Mike Senior, but also using the Yamaha QY700 !!!!! And I lurve it 8-) :clap: Thanks Martin! And especially appreciated coming as it does, if I remember correctly, from a man well versed in wringing the last drop ...

A very quick search brings up the ART My Monitor 2 https://www.scan.co.uk/products/art-mymonitorii-personal-monitoring-solution-mic-line-mixer Hah! The SOS networked brain does it again! That looks like exactly what I was imagining. And, wouldn't you know it, Christmas is just round the corner too ...

Hello all, I'm not tremendously well-educated when it comes to live-sound tech, and I've struck out finding an answer to this question on my own, so I figured some of you fine people might be able to bring some specialist knowledge to bear! The question is this: Does the following product actually ...

Is it still the best thing since sliced bread?. Er, well I checked it out for my most recent Cambridge-MT podcast and I honestly think they're having a larf. 380 euros?! Personally, I got comparably useful results with a parallel instance of ReaXcomp. Still, each to their own... Hi Mike! What ...

For room reasons the Kali In-Unf ultra nearfield with desktop Bass unit is on my radar. https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/kali-audio-in-unf Looks like a very convenient package. I noticed that Paul White mentioned some bass overhang in his review, though, which would concern me a little for ...

Yeeeeah. My query should really been just for the C-Box4 without the sub C-Bass10. Even then, I'm afraid it's still what Hugh said: the room's an important factor whether you're monitoring quiet or loud. And in condensing my 20-minute review down to 100 words, you've inevitably left a little nuance ...

He's saying they sound as good (albeit different) and cost the same. So they are an alternative, rather than better. But not easily available in the UK at present. I don't think there's any benefit to (ex)changing an existing KH system for a C system, and since it's difficult to buy in the the UK ...

Apologies, Zukan -- if you've listened to that podcast, then you'll know I share your indecision!

Do Abacus actually have a UK distributor? It doesn't look like it. They currently sell direct to dealerships in Germany. But I'd personally pay for shipping of the C-Box 4s from them if I were shopping for a sub-1.5k full-range mixing system for a small studio (they're priced at 1.3k Euros) -- I ...

Hi all, Over the past few years I've been carefully following the parallel development of the project-studio 2.1 monitoring systems from Neumann (ie. KH80 / KH120 satellites with KH750 subwoofer) and Abacus Electronics (ie. C-Box3 / C-Box4 satellites with C-Bass10 subwoofer) -- and it's proving to ...

Fri May 19, 2023 8:15 am

Funny for me reading this thread, because I've been rendering my mixes in real time for years on account of previous experiences I've had like this. That said, it's partly because I still use a lot of freeware, and some rather old freeware too, where there isn't any support as such. Hence why I ...

That is truly wonderful news! I'll have a gander on Monday and look forward to spreading the word!

Thanks for the super-kind words Hugh! :blush: Apparently, Mike has a special launch week promotion planned with some worthwhile bonus material for early purchasers, so check out his website for details. Indeed! In fact I'm actually giving away a free 70-minute video course with every purchase before ...

Just been checking some links on my own site, and it looks like microphone-data.com is down.

Anyone have any info on this?

...and it'd be fair to say that I'd mix it a bit differently now! :roll: It's this one from December 2009 . And you might reasonably ask why on earth I bothered to do that! :) Well, some of you may know that I've been running a monthly mixing tutorial podcast for my Cambridge-MT site Patrons for the ...

Thanks for the input everyone! That's enough to make me definitely want to give it a shot. Could be really cool for remote training sessions, which I do a lot of these days.

Just came across this. If it works it's a game-changer. It says it's uncompressed audio too:

Anyone had any experience with it?

You might find this article of some use too in general.

Other valid reasons for using a foam windshield indoors may include: 1. The foam has a white tip to aid the camera operator spotting when its in frame. 2. Other mobile indoor scenes filmed as part of the shoot needed the windshield, so it was retained in static situations to maintain tonal ...

Thanks for the replies and I will probably not use that mic at the studio again but what can I do about it? It's the only part of the song that does this. There is something you can do about it, but it's usually quite finicky, whichever way you do it. Basically, the problem is usually sporadic ...
