If Mr Bladder has a spare 20kgs he wants rid of I will gladly weigh it in for him! So that's £120 of scrap - if that. Copper prices are falling. Two-and-a-half hours of a sparky's time. Not for installed power socket rings! Obviously not! You'll be accusing me of advocating 12V bell-wire for ...

1mm2 cabling isn't and never has been acceptable according to the code. The minimum is 0.75mm (UK and EU rules state that for all cables for low-current circuits). A personal beef with just about all domestic electrical fittings is that the wiring is still connected by solid core cables under a ...

There are technical pros and cons to the ring main system just as there are for radial distribution...but it has stood the test of time very well and on balance I think it's a nicely engineered solution. There's a family about 2 miles from us whose brand new house burned down when one side of the ...

This seems to be very presumptive attitude for the sake of a quick check on the actual breakers installed in the box.... This. Replace the breaker. They wear out over time, especially if they are being flipped on and off like a switch all the time. Also, ring circuits are illegal in many countries ...

The 200 employees are now just 120 and the company is earmarked to stay within the RM group - for the time being at least!

I've always seen Magix as a company selling easy to use software for beginners. I'm on their mailing list and that's all they ever try to sell me. They simply don't understand the market for the more serious software like the Sonic Foundry/Sony tools or the Samplitude family. Exactly! I bought ...

... MAGIX appears to have a white knight ... My company info ticker gave me the following (Google Translate from German) - Insolvency plan becomes legally binding after confirmation by the Charlottenburg District Court, Berlin. Russ Media Equity Partners company takes over shares Hamburg/Berlin ...

This whole thread should be mandatory reading for all consumer AV manufacturers. The whole TV industry has managed to make a complete dog's breakfast out of implementing anything to do with audio above and beyond stereo. Worse still, they have made an unholy mess of the introduction of digital video ...

Everybody is missing the blindingly obvious reason - A complete lack of musical education in schools and in primary schools in particular . I was lucky enough to spend two years in a particularly good primary school (Acton Park County Primary near Wrexham). The list of accolades and achievements of ...

It's everything! Back when you were young, there was little or no meaningful contingency insurance - now it is a MAJOR cost. And artists cry-off a concert for the daftest reasons - "My guitars got lost!" being one I have heard. He refused to play replacement guitars - and it was his fault that they ...

Can NS-10s etc. be approximated by filtering?

No - never - because they do what they do by having a very, very good response rate. I have a pair, but we use M&Ks as they are even better at mid-range response.

Yes please!

- Is it normal for business to be so slow? Depends on where you are - here in Europe, classical music centres around London, Berlin, Paris, etc. and probably in that order. i.e. there where classical music is being played. It also cross-feeds with film music for obvious reasons. - Is there any ...

Which comes back to Hugh's point about people making TV programmes as if they were films. It doesn't work properly for most people. Except that no film or big budget TV series I have come across being made today is made for the UK market. Nowadays, many TV programmes are made with a global audience ...

1. The finished programme is typically viewed and signed off in a 'viewing theatre' that bears little resemblance to the average home viewer's environment. TVs are getting far larger - 70" can cost less than £500. Admittedly, Fred forklift driver and Katie at the cash-point may just earn the modal ...

Step One - Turn it off.

Step Two - See Step One.

Step Three - Sell all that crap on eBay and give the money to to the homeless.

Step Four - Become an atheist.

Don't bother! I have a Panasonic smart TV and it has the same RGYB buttons as yours and I see that 'From the start' message almost every time. And the green button works too! Though I have never tried the subtitles function.

"Lighting" was mentioned? Modern production seems to be on an economy drive, so many TV series are too dark to see the action. It's the fashion nowadays! Don't ask me why! There are films where darkness is desirable, but rubbish like period dramas are (IMO) better told with bright colours - not ...

You certainly shouldn't be spending an extra 5-10 minutes on it when time is scarce. If I'm wrong please put me right. You are dead right! Long answer - Sound guys (some even give themselves the title 'engineer' which is absurd!) often suffer from the delusion that they are important! They are ...

This year, I have recorded not one single CD and last year we did one solitary CD. Everything else was either video or audio-4-video - VO and ADR, stuff like that. I got that wrong - we did record a CD. I forgot all about it! Two-day job. A good video tells a story. It has a beginning, a middle and ...

Back to the original question - is there any place for a video forum on this site? I joined this forum back in 49BC when I opened a recording studio. For the next 12 years, we did at least 12 CDs a year and countless other audio-only things besides, such as music for film. This year, I have recorded ...

Mr Bladder, that recording we did at your place, piano, perfect, no issues. I think it was two Neumann 47’s, on your Bosendorfer Imperial, in your very large live room, completely different scenario, again, that piano appears on the first track of my album One For The Road. Then get your tail back u ...

I'm OK with rough studio mic placement, but I’m useless when it comes to realism, I don’t have an instinct about where to put a mic, like some people do. Nobody knows instinctively where to put a microphone - unless they mean that they put it where the monkey puts the nuts. And anyone claiming to po ...
