Folks-

Do you do this? Under what circumstances? Interested in what folks do with this tool- it was not available in the 'old days' when we simply observed good 3:1 ratio and other guidelines. Does delaying spot mics assist you in getting better audio now that this tool is available? Your thoughts?

First off hello everyone! My name is Craig and I live in Florida and I'm still new to this but I want to learn.

I had a Studio Projects C1 Condenser Mic in storage for about 11 months.

Since I was not using I decided to sell it to a friend. My friend has an mbox-2 pro interface and has been using a Shure Dynamic mic for his recordings.

After plugging in my C1, we got no signal coming in. When then noticed that we forgot to press in the 48 Phantom power button. Once again no signal.

Little by little, I'm discarding some of my more budget brands of mic stands and replacing them.

I own one Hercules stand (tall boom), and two Atlas booms.
The eazy adjustment of the Hercules is nice, as is the Atlas counterweight for my 414s, Bluebird, and other heavy/oversized mics.

A device that reduces the level of the signal and is placed just before a microphone preamplifier to prevent overload of the preamplifier.

• An electret microphone is a type of electrostatic capacitor-based microphone, which eliminates the need for a polarizing power supply by using a permanently charged material.

A technique of placing a microphone close to the sound source (within one foot) in order to pick up mainly the direct sound and to avoid picking up leakage or ambience.

A contact microphone receives its entire signal from being in contact with a particular surface and the resulting mechanical vibrations, not from airborne sound waves. Sometimes referred to as piezo or transducer microphones.

Hi, I am going to be recording a "background music" theme for my company's voicemail. Also known as "on hold music".

We need a decent microphone to record voice only. We will be using pre-recorded music and putting the voice over the music, so the microphone only needs to handle voice recording.

Hi

Can anyone guide me as to how will the AKG C214 microphone will be suitable for voice-overs.

Anyone who has used the mic, or owned it.

Have not found many reviews on the same, if can guide.
