Anyone know who has the best price on an Apogee MiniMe w/USB. The best
I've found s far is SonicSense at 1199.00 + shipping. Does anyone on
the list have one for sale?

There seems to be a lot of discussion regarding who makes what. (Does TY
make HP? Which type of Fuji etc.)
Here is a nice little program I have used:

Very reliable for the most part.
Enjoy!

Subject: Microphone Madness Mikes
Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2004 12:05:30 -0700
A year or so ago, someone posted a query on this list concerning the MM
"Sennheiser driven" stealth mikes. No discussion or comments were
returned, but I visited the MM web site out of curiosity. I'm not much
of a stealth taper, I prefer to get my mikes right on stage with
cooperative jazz and instro groups. But certain opportunities lost
convinced me I should look more seriously at stealth taping with my
D100. The idea of stealthing is rife with difficulties and
frustrations: bad PAs, bad soundmen, security, excessive crowd noise,
poor locations in the hall, stiff necks holding my head high, no talking
to girl friends (who then get pissed), etc., etc. So I didn't want to
invest a lot of money in microphones until I was more confident in my
stealthing procedures.
I also wanted cardoids, to reduce crowd interference. The MM-HLSC-1
mikes seemed technically to satisfy my requirements, and,...the price
was right. $250 bucks seemed a reasonable amount of dough, I was more
worried I was gonna get some cheap-assed mikes. So I took the plunge
and bought 'em, along with the extra $50 battery box, which turned out
to be wise decision.
When the mikes arrived, I was disappointed in some minor ways, the
mikes were a little big for stealthing (nearly an inch long and a bit
wide in diameter). Also, the mikes weren't marked in terms of
right/left channel, but that was easy to determine. Finally, the
cylinders are chrome, and the grills are silver, which makes them a bit
obvious in stealthing situations. Anyway, some black tape and a sharpy
helped with this problem.
I had the opportunity to record on successive weekends at the same
venue, same FOB location, same PA, same sound guy, etc. So the first
weekend I used the MM mikes, the second I used my venerable Shure VP-88,
both into the Sony D100. And I was suprised! Overall, the recording
with the MM mikes rivaled the Shure VP-88 (much more expensive). I was
quite happy with the results; however, the MM mikes were significantly
more sensitive, and, as this was an outdoor venue, wind noise was very
troublesome, even with the supplied foam covers in place. So I don't
think I could recommend these for outdoor concerts, but, then, I suspect
many mikes have the same problem (the foam protected Shure VP-88 came
through like a champ, very little wind disturbance on the recording).
In one of those once in a lifetime opportunities, I got a front row
center ticket to a Wynton Marsalis concert. With the MM mikes firmly
attached to the sturdy headliner of a Rolly Coaster (my friend makes
caps out of old wool garments), I did the stealth thing and ended up
with a fabulous recording of Wynton. Of course, I was getting most of
the sound off the stage, avoiding the PA.
I've since used these mikes in more stealthing situations, and, while I
feel stealing is still very problematic, I've found these mikes to
provide excellent recordings. Very highly recommeded...and the price is
right! Note: while the mikes will work directly into the mic/line
input of the D100, you will usually need to drop into the Line setting
of this input due to the high sound levels generated by the mikes. The
Line setting cuts any power to the mikes, so you will need the $50
battery box.
Microphone Madness...MM-HLSC-1...recommended.

Hey Guys,
It's a sad day in Philadelphia rock and roll music history. A legend
died yesterday, Ed Sciaky. For those out there who know who I'm
talking about. Did anyone ever record any of the Sunday Night
Alternative shows. They need to circulate. He used to play some
obscure stuff on that show. Be nice to get some copies.
Thanks
Dean
