challenge

Hi Everyone,

I never took the challenge but I thought it was an interesting topic to start.

I've been handling the care and feeding of the church sound reinforcement system for a while now and doubling as the roadie for our traveling singers. FWIW, the church PA is a garden variety TOA mixer/amp in a rack with Shure SM58 wireless mics, wired podium mics on the pulpit and and lectern, and a Tascam tape deck. We've been distributing and posting podcasts of the sermon.

I (over at Photosounder.com, home of the program that turns sounds into images and images into sound) have just started a new challenge. It consists in denoising a 115 year old sound by editing its image generated via Photosounder using Photoshop/GIMP/whatever you got or by writing a dedicated image processing algorithm.

Hi there.



I posted this on another forum a while back.

So I thought for the purpose of fun and learning on the topic of mic technique, that we could have a thread that would give everyone to chance to say how they would record and instrument or scenario.

Hi folks



I have a gear-related challenge which, if it's the evening in your part of the world, and you've had a beer or two, you might (fingers crossed) be willing to take up!

This challenge provides ten different excerpts; each features a dry sample, followed by two processed samples, A and B. One of these is processed through the original vintage or classic hardware, the other through a Liquid Mix emulation of the same unit. The question is, ‘which is which?



I scored 70% correct but, my ears preferred the liquid mix (go figure).
