    I would never do an M/S arrangement with 2 large-diaphragm microphones as shown in this video. This "orangutan-like" arrangement would spoil each other's directional characteristics. Much better results can be achieved with 2 small-diaphragm types.

    Hello, I purchased a used TLM 49 without a shock mount. What shock mount can I get other than the EA 3? I can't seem to find those anywhere.

    • @MrBinthestudio

      It looks like you need the EA 1. Sweetwater Sound has those in stock.

    • @MrBinthestudio
      @MrBinthestudio 4 місяці тому

      Now, if you're looking for something that costs less than the EA 1, it's going to be tricky considering the diameter of the TLM 49. The AKG H85 shock mount just barely fits a TLM103, but the 49 is just a bit too big. BUT, you could make the H85 work if you inserted the mic through the bottom of the shock mount, and just let it hang upside down.

    I have an impression that the ORTF piano sample has a strange sound defect at E of the second octave (in the last arpeggio). Something like a resonance. Is it a side effect of the ortf technique, a glitch of the piano or a glitch of my ears? I hear it both in stereo and mono.

    If I want to record everyday, travel, walk tour, UA-cam that talk from behind the camera and at some distance, I want to step into record elements for game and vocal and instruments for music too, after some research, I come to this 4 setups, Sennheiser MKE 440, MKE 600, Line Audio CW4 and Deity HD-TX, the video will be record using Panasonic HC-X1500 camcorder, is this good minimal run and gun setup that deal with untreated room too? When to record in stereo and mono in my cases, music instruments and vocal all in stereo or each in mono, how about surround sound, do I need omnidirectional mic to create surround sound, or can just make a binaural setup to cover everything? Some say stereo mic not good for vocal, true? Shouldn't walk tour be surround sound, why people use directional mic for that? One UA-camr say pencil condenser cover wider field by not cancel the sides like shotgun mic, is this mean I can use just one pencil condenser to cover all the above stereo and mono needs? Should I get both or one between MKE 600 and CW4? Does the MKE 440 stereo good enough/better and I don't need two CW4? Can the CW4 catch same/further distance voice/sound compare to MKE 600? Do I need the shotgun mic or CW4 will do to record outdoor sound for game elements? How do I record my behind the camera voice if I use the MKE 440 stereo mic facing Front when walking, attach CW4 to HD-TX facing rear or 1 CW4 front 1 CW4 back? Can I use one of the MKE 440 stereo mics as mono shotgun mic? The camcorder has an option handle with 2 XLR inputs, do I need it, can I use it as music elements recorder? Do I need 32 bits? If I just want a small XLR recorder and not going to use the wireless transmission, is HD-TX worth it? Is it suitable to just attach a pencil condenser CW4 mic to it to record singing vocal and instruments that way and a MKE 600 shotgun mic to it to record elements and sound effects for game development? Can I record both the XLR and 3.5mm jack at same time in same and different tracks? Can I use it as a high res music player so I don't need to buy another dedicated music device which function just like an audio recorder that can't record high res audio but better at organisation to play music? Any other recorder recommendations?

    I tried this last night. Previously I was using a 25 foot cable and then 3 additional 18 foot cables in my wet-dry guitar rig (including effects loop and to the second amplifier). It sounded very good. But then I replaced all those lengthy cables with 6 foot cables for my pedals and a 12 foot cable for my guitar. Boom! Immediately I had more high end frequency responses. This not only improved my tone, it also gave me greater flexibility to use more different settings effectively on my amp and guitar. Thanks!!!

  • @TheSebi1968
    @TheSebi1968 10 місяців тому

    Only part of this is correct. Since the guitar pickup is a coil and the cable is a capacitor you have a second order low pass with a resonance peak at a certain frequency, as long as the volume control is full on, so it will not dampen the alternating charging between coil and cable. This resonance peak is more pronounced the lower resistance a pickup will have. you can tame a shrill strat or Tele with a longer cable, not only reducing treble, but also shifting down the resonance peak. This resonance peak is much of the character of the sound of a guitar. A too short cable will shift the resonance up high and kill a lot of the character...ice pick sounds come to mind. Many old school blues players used this trick btw. playing through a super reverb with a Tele with a long cable and sounding fat...

    • @MrBinthestudio

      Keyboards don't have the high impedance outputs like guitars, so you can get away with a much longer cable before you have any noticeable high frequency loss

    "Have you ever asked a guitar player to turn down the bass on their amp?" LOL Actually, I did have a problem doing mixing for a live Christmas concert. At practice about a week or two before the event, there was too much muddy bass & nothing I could do about it as the bass amp was out of my control. I had a think about this, and decided to try putting the bass amp up on a stand to decouple it from the stage floor which was at about audience head height, spilling excess low end boundary reinforcement directly at the audience. Well I tactfully explained that there was a problem that would not be apparent to anyone on stage, but was bad for the audience. So, I built a heavy MDF butterfly stand that lifted the amp and angled it upwards some to decouple it from the stage floor. Stand hinge was a webbing strap, added cork feet and lined the amp seat with more cork. Absolutely no vibrations & it killed the problem stone dead. The Bass player was very happy with his tone & so was the audience. It was one of those rare wins on the 1st guess. In fact I think it was possibly the best concert with the tightest bass line I have ever mixed. I came home from that one stoked & with absolutely no regrets.
