We asked renowned Aussie garage rock producer Owen Penglis (also plays in garage rock band Straight Arrows) to talk about his favourite mics, how he uses them and why he can't live without them - http://enmoreaudio.com/owen-penglis-favourite-mics-of-all-time/

What are your fav mics ever?

Gee...why didn't this take off? :rolleyes:

Gotta love the 80's...this ugly looking and sounding thing is probably worth a fortune now if you could find one

Hi gang.

Hi all, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I want to take a shot: I have a circuit with small silicon microphone that has acoustic overload at 128db, however environment where I am going to monitor sound can get louder than that so I need to reliable lower incoming sound pressure by approximately 30db, kind of like putting protective headphones over ears when you do constructi

First I apologize if this is in the wrong place. I searched a couple times...because I thought I remembered a "music theory" section of this place...but I can't find it now. If there isn't one, it would be cool to have one...for me lol.

I know very little about theory. I know many of the popular chords, some of them would take me a second to tell you what the 3-5-7's are etc.

Found this an interesting read on mixing & mastering at 96kHz and thought it would be worth sharing.

I have a set of Samson A8 studio monitors. One day I heard static coming from one speaker. Every time a touched the volume knob on my audio interface I heard the sound. I still listened to music fine for two weeks. Today I opened pro tools to listen to music and I heard it more consistently and while the music was playing. All of a sudden the monitor completely stopped working.

this is pretty cool, I wish the clips were longer but pretty remarkable difference among rooms. Also insteresting to me was they used and RME/ISA 828 combination. This is similar to pcrecord marcos setup I believe. Man does that big room sound and look spectacular imho!

I am getting rid of an old workstation which has an internal Exabyte 8mm tape drive. Would anyone have a use for it?

Hey all,

I'm doing the planning for my new system.
I have magix Samplitude pro x, and I'm considering Pro Tools HD12.

Magix would be the main capture/compose/edit system due to high track count and clean coding.

PTHD would be primarily for mixing (mainly volumes and panning). Since it does 10 video tracks and 7.1 it's the unfortunate (expensive) choice.
