Hey everyone, I got a Panasonic TM-700 for xmas and I really want to get a shotgun mic for it so I can have some solid audio quality to go along with the great video that it takes. I don't know what to look for at all so any help / models to compare would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I am going to start off by saying I am a pHD student in evolutionary biology, so my knowledge of acoustics and what not are minimal at this point. I am enrolled in an engineering noise control class this semester to fix that.

I am looking at getting a dynamic EQ, quite possibly Voxengo's GlissEQ, but I do not have a complete understanding of the dynamic aspect. My best interpretation from what I have read is that if the dynamic function is fully engaged, the EQ (say if there is a boost at 2Khz) will only be applied to the peaks and not the average content at that frequency. Is this correct?

What is the strangest place you have used to get that exact sound you or some producer was looking for. What place was it,closet,barn,Oven etc. and what did you use to get the sound?

I have a Electro-Voice N/D767a microphone that I really love. It sounds great for live vocals but I wanted to know about the N/D367. I work a lot with female vocalists and I have two in my band and I have read that the 367 sounds great for females.

I'm trying to decide between the nt5's and the mk012, mp.

I need something that I can also use on acoustic guitar and overheads, and some day I'll get a better SDC for acoustic guitars etc. But for now I need something that will work well with both.

I am planing on recording vocals of a male singing rap, r&b, and alternative rock. I also want to record acoustic guitar and maybe other sound effects from outside (maracas, rocks, tools, dings, etc..)

I want to buy specifically a condenser microphone.

I did some research, and here is the list of microphones that I want to narrow down to the mic I will buy:

First post - go easy on me please :)

I've just bought an iPad (woohoo!).

One of the main things I intend to use it for is on-location recording: found sounds for samples, and for spoken word interviews. I am a complete beginner at this - assume I know nothing and you'll be spot on. My background is in music production using Reason & Record, but I want to branch out.

I'm ordering a Sennheiser Evolution Wireless vocal system and have three choices in frequency ranges. This will be my first of a few wireless systems I will get over the next few years.
How do I know which range to choose from for Canada?

A range (516-558 MHz), B range (626-668 MHz) and G range (566-608 MHz).

Over the christmas break I got my first bass drum mic, a Shure PG52 and I'm wondering what you guys could help me with the whole Micing aspect. With my recordings, I find I'm getting a whole lot of click and not much tone from my bass drum, what do you guys suggest I try?
