Praise-songs performed at these ceremonies are the focus of my research. You'll find that if you record binaurally, you'll end up with some truly stunning recordings. Tony Idarola, the fellow responsible for the Audio Soup Mix series of recordings, does lots of field recordings of the sort you'll be doing. You can contact him at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . He and his students have been using our binaural mics for years. After asking around, I decided to buy an R37. It seems sturdy and durable enough for my needs. I could have gone MDLP, especially for interviews, but as I'll also bring a laptop and CDRW burner, it should be fine. The -R37 lacks a low sensitivity setting and will tend to overload when hit with even modest sound pressure levels. If there's drumming or percussion involved, it won't do an adequate job. If you must have an MD recorder, I'd recommend any of the Sharps (MD-SR60, MD-MT90 or MD-MT877), or if you prefer Sony, the MZ-R900 (and no other Sony). Now, the mic situation isn't completely solved. It seems a lot of people are using ECM-MS907s. Looking at the specs and listening to recordings made with similar mics, these don't offer good enough lower range response (rated from 100Hz). It seems the 957s and 959s go down to 50Hz which would be ideal. Any idea where I could find either of these for cheap? They don't appear on eBay much. We have two short files that compare our mics to the -MS907 an -MS957. Feel free to ask for them. I hope that this helped!

Re: MD: Battery Pack
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jinx) wrote: I do some loud recording and sometimes it sounds distorted due to extreme bass levels (for example, recording thunder) or big sound changes from loud to soft and vice versa. If don't know if its because of my mic or if its because of my player. Heres my gear... Sony MZR900DPC Sound Professionals Cardioid Single Point Stereo Microphone (SPSPSM4) Sony Minidiscs Does anyone recommend getting that battery pack from minidisco or does it not make much of a difference? I'm assuming that you're already using the MZ-R900's low sensitivity setting for its mic pre-amp input. The distortion could be coming from two different sources: the microphones overloading or the MZ-R900's mic pre-amp overloading. If it's the microphones, a battery pack providing higher voltage than the recorder's plug-in power might help the problem, but it might make it worse too. The higher voltage will allow the mics to provide a higher output before distorting, but that higher output might then end up overloading the mic pre-amp. If so, you could then use an attenuator cable between the battery box and the recorder to reduce the mic's voltage level. Keep in mind that the battery pack's higher voltage, while increasing microphone headroom, will often increase harmonic distortion. So you may reduce one kind of distortion and increase another (albeit usually less offensive). If it's the MD recorder's mic pre-amp overloading, an attenuator cable between the mics and the recorder will likely solve that problem. But the mics will have to be self-powered to accept an attenuator cable. If the mic are powered from the recorder, you can't use an attenuator cable between the mics and the recorder. A third possibility: the microphones are overloading and a higher voltage may not relieve the problem. In this case it's time for new mics. A fourth possibility: as you're listening during the concert you note that instead of being in balance, the bass is way louder than everything else. Since the bass has the lion's share of the energy in music, it's the bass that causes the overload distortion in your recording. In this situation (and likely in this situation only), you might want to add a bass roll-off filter to your mics. (The filter will change the frequency balance of the recording, and should be used only when there is too much bass. When you want to reduce the overall level of every frequency, use an attenuator cable instead.) Note that other current Sony MD recorders (MZ-R700, MZ-R70, MZ-R90, MZ-R37) lack a low sensitivity setting on their mic pre-amp and almost always need either a low sensitivity set of microphones or an attenuator cable to avoid overloading the mic pre-amp when recording loud sound sources.

Re: MD: MZ-R70, Best Earbuds
payvand [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i read here the other day that the MZ-R70 is not a good unit. can someone that knows the score, tell me exactly what its limitations are? It depends what you plan to do with it. The Sony MZ-R35, -R37, -R70, -R90 and -R91 have a common problem that makes them less than desirable for live concert recording: they do not have a low sensitivity setting for the mic pre-amp. So if you record loud music, the mic pre-amp will tend to overload and distort. For that reason we recommend other Sony models: the older MZ-R55, -R50 and R30; and the new -900. And the -R70 is a bit slow and noisy. (By the way, they're all fine for ripping tracks from CDs.) But in general (and except for the Sony -900), for concert recording, the Sharp MD recorders are better choices. The Sharps allow you to change recording levels while you're recording -- the Sony's require you to go into "Pause." We'd strongly recommend the Sharp MS-722, -821, -831 or -SR60. If budget is a strong consideration then we'd recommend the Sharp MT-15, MT-20 or MT-66 -- they lack the automatic gain control, have 10 second (rather than 40 second) buffers but are still good, reliable recorders.

The loudest sounds I would be recording..possibly a train passing buy, busy traffic, thunderstorms, or a jet flying overhead. I need reasonable frequency response and dynamic range to record this without break-up, but most loud sounds will be fleeting, unlike a continuous loud concert. I'd say $300 at the very most I'd be willing to budget. I suppose I'll need the battery box and use the line input? Any suggestions? The High End Binaurals are as good as you can get in a small microphone set, but admittedly, they are expensive. An excellent match for the -722 and your applications (both technically and at their price points) is the Core Sound Binaural microphone set with the switchable bass roll-off filter. If budget is really tight, you might find that the Low Cost Binaural mic set will do the job.

MD: Sources of Distortion and Solutions (was Re: distortion problem with live recording)
Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
1. FOR HIGH VOLUME SHOWS...HOW DO YOU KEEP THE MIC FROM DISTORTING?
Distortion can come from a few different sources:
1. The mics you're using were not designed to record very loud sounds
and they are distorting.
Solution: use mics that are designed to handle the high sound pressure
levels.
2. Assuming that the level coming out of the microphones is within the
range that the recorder's mic pre-amp is designed to handle, you might
be setting levels (as indicated on the meters) too high, resulting in
the A-to-D converter max'ing out (digital clipping).
Solution: set the levels so that the indications on the meters never
exceed the "0" level. If the recorder has a limiter or an Automatic
Gain Control (AGC), you might consider using provided that you realize
the tradeoffs in sound quality a limiter/AGC will introduce. Keep in
mind that you'll usually get better sounding recordings if you set the
level manually and don't use a limited or AGC.
3. The mics may be putting out a level that exceeds the mic pre-amp's
input level, resulting in mic pre-amp overload distortion. Since the
recorder's level control and the meters are after the mic pre-amp in all
current recorder's you, will have no indication of the mic pre-amp
overloading.
Solution: if your recorder has a low sensitivity (-20 dB) switch, use
it.
Or if the music is very loud, use the Line level input instead of the
Mic input (the line level input is typically accepts signals 20 to 30 dB
higher than the mic input). Keep in mind that the Line input has a much
higher impedance than the Mic input so filters (e.g., a bass roll-off
filter) that work fine into the Mic input might not work into the Line
input.)
Or if the mics are self-powered, use an attenuator cable between the
mics and the Mic input. If the mics are powered by the recorder
("plug-in power"), you can't use an attenuator cable.
2. ANY RECOMMENDATIONS ON WHERE TO STAND?
FRONT/BACK? CLOSE/FAR FROM THE HOUSE PA?
Use your ears: stand where ever the sound is good.
I hope that this helps!

MD: MZ-R37 and MZ-R90 Problems
We've had many inquiries about the suitablility of the Sony MZ-R37 and MZ-R70 MD recorders for live concert recordings. The Sony recorders in general are less suitable that the Sharps for live concert recordings because you can't adjust the recording level while you are recording -- you must go into "Pause" first. The MZ-R37 and MZ-R70 in particular have another complication: they do not offer a "low sensitivity" setting for their mic pre-amp input. What this means is that as the music get loud and the output signal from your mics increase, the mic pre-amp can overload into heavy distortion. If you could switch the mic pre-amp to a lower sensitivity (or lower gain) setting (typically 20 dB lower), as you can with the other Sony MD recorders and all the Sharp MD recorders, you wouldn't have overload problems. Alternately, if the mics are self-powered, you could use an attenuator cable between the mics and the recorder to reduce the signal level -- but you can't do this with mics that are powered from the recorder. For these reasons we recommend that folks who are doing live concert recordings buy a recorder other than the -R37 and -R70. I hope this help!
