I've got the shure a27m vertical mic mount. I've been recording with my stealth- AT853 mics. This is an upgrade and I'm trying to figure out how to set them up. You may be familiar with all the great info at Oade Brothers site. They have some good info on stereo mic tech. But I dont understand their description. If someone could clarify, I'd appreciate it. Here's their rap.. This is the most common form of stereo recording, the 90 degree X-Y configuration. Here careful attention should be paid to the vertical alignment of the diaphram inside the capsule. The smaller the error the better the focus and depth of the recording. The horizontal displacement is not critical and can be adjusted to accommodate larger microphones or the use of windscreens. This works well with both cardioid and hypercardiod microphones. This is our recommended starting point for all new recording engineers. We find that all large diaphram microphones must be set up in this manner to assure satisfing results. My question; I have these HUGE "Ultra windscreens". I dont understand the concepts of "vertical alignment of the diaphram inside the capsule", or "horizontal displacement". Using the wind screens, I wont be able to get the caps right over each other, But I dont understand these alignment considerations in figuring out how to set up my mics with the "blimp-screens". Here's the link to this Oade page if interested. http://www.oade.com/tapers/micsetup90xy.html ================================== "Imagine there's no countries, It isn't hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, No religion too, Imagine all the people living life in peace..."-John Lennon Winnie Olmer mailto:who@sover.net ================================== ------------------------------ From: L Sean Kennedy Subject: Re: "rare" reel to reel and F1 digital SRV recordings Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2002 19:30:04 -0500 --On Thursday, February 14, 2002 5:57 PM -0500 "Ryan :-<>" wrote: > I've been propositioned to buy some "rare" Stevie > Ray Vaughan recordings.

Whoa... while I gather you are just seeking to get the music preserved, this message is ultimately promoting someone profiting from music they didn't make. DAT-heads is consensus driven and it is pretty clear from recent discussion that people do not want the list used for that purpose, whether direct or indirect.

I need the money more than I need a second DAT deck, so I'm selling off one of my DA-20mkII's. I bought it in '98, have kept the usage fairly low, and have been good about keeping the heads cleaned. I've got the original box, manual, receipt, etc. I'd like to get $350 for it, but I'll entertain any serious offer. Drop me a line if you're interested. DC -- Ah, Mr. Zeau, I presume?

I need to sell these because I recently lost my job and need to generate some revenue. The drives work beautifully. One is internal 5 1/4 and the other is in an external case (no cable included). I can include the 5 1/4 mounting hardware for the external drive. I also have a SCSI card that I can toss in to the deal for whoever offers the most. Best offers near or above the magic number I have in my head will get the drives. Preference goes to someone who wants both. Please indicate which drive you want (internal/external).

I'm sure it will be a fine machine, but why is it they seem afraid to give the consumer more than 2 hours at the best possible fs/bit rate? Same problem DAT had, there was something preventing the introduction of a 90m capable DAT deck and tape, not sure what it was though. If I had my say, with all the cool technology out right now, I'd pass on the 2 GB ORB? discs and 1) stick a 40 gb or so hard drive in it and IEEE 1394 Firewire coming out the side or 2) stick a DVD-RW writer in it. my .02 Alan ==================================================== Sign Up for NetZero Platinum Today Only $9.95 per month! http://my.netzero.net/s/signup?r=platinum&refcd=PT97 ------------------------------ From: "Mike BB" Subject: ISO AT8410a Shock mounts Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2002 23:41:31 -0500 Ok, everyone that has had these for sale over the past MONTH has sold them before I could get a hold of them. So, if you have a pair of the shockmounts mentioned in the subject line PLEASE get a hold of me. I know where to buy them new, but I would rather get them used if it's at all possible. Keep me in mind in the future. Oh yeah, I'm also looking for a pair of decent 15' to 25' mic cables (nothing made of some strange super conductive metal that fell from the sky, just a decent pair of cables). Thanks...

They create a harsh high end and while their use is at best questionable live, they have no place in a recording, let alone one that is supposed to document a live event. Please don't use one. If you need that effect, you can use it later. Every time someone has put it on a recording, it seems they come to regret it later. Just my 02c. Edwin -- i wouldn't call them a waste of $, but i definitely agree with Edwin. (although i don't hate BBE, i actually kind of like it.) it's just very out of place in this situation. if you have a crappy, dull sounding PA or a similar sounding old cassette tape, BBE can work wonders. in typical digital recording, tho, it really will just make the high end sound harsh. i've learned that the hard way over the years. BBE should be used as a corrective device, not as a magic black box enhancer to be applied anywhere and everywhere... take care, and hope your recording goes well. rob _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ------------------------------ From: "Michael guess" Subject: FS:Shure Beta 98 mics Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2002 16:07:58 -0700 OK going to try this one last time.
