Re: Neumann KH-series vs. Abacus C-series grudge match?!
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 mixi...

Re: Neumann KH-series vs. Abacus C-series grudge match?!
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...

Re: Neumann KH-series vs. Abacus C-series grudge match?!
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 a...

Re: Neumann KH-series vs. Abacus C-series grudge match?!
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 ju...

Neumann KH-series vs. Abacus C-series grudge match?!
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 b...

Re: Plug ins - there must be a general principle at work here!
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 alwa...

Re: Recording Secrets For The Small Studio 2nd Edition
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...

I just re-remixed a Mix Rescue I did 13 years ago...
...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...

Re: Holy cow! Is this real? (FarPlay.io)
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.

Holy cow! Is this real? (FarPlay.io)
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?

Re: What's with the foam windshield indoors? (Location sound for film and TV)
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 consiste...

Re: Fixing harsh harmonics from female vocalists
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 uppe...
