MD: . is this a good mic

2001-10-14 Thread Payvand-G


Hello-

I've been looking at a mic that can plug into a portable MD recorder.  This
is what I've found so far.  Does anyone have this?  Are you happy with it?

RE: MD: OT: Name the effect

2001-10-05 Thread Payvand-G


 Can somebody tell me the name of the effect that was used in Kid Rock's
 ballad, Only god knows why on his voice?  Its the flippy thingi that
 sounds really poppy and cheap.  Sorry for my inability to be
 articulate but
 how exactly do you describe sound?!?!?  If anybody thinks they can help I
 can send them a small audio clip to show exactly what I'm talking
 about.  I
 didn't think it would be appropriate to send to the list though.  THANKS!


I think he probably used Auto-Tune for that.  It's a fairly expensive
computer program for the Mac (around $500) and it's used mainly to make all
notes the same pitch in vocals.  But if you abuse it, instead of using it,
you can do what he did.

You can also do some pretty neat tricks with the timestretch functions in
sound forge and cool edit.

Hi,

What is the least expensive binaural mic that you sell?

And do you make your own mics?  It kinda sounds as though you do.

 Why not try the Vivanco EM216? It is small, cheap and near-professional
 quality. Its lower frequency point is given as 20Hz (but no -dB
 specified).
 The only drawback is that the stereo imaging is restricted because of its
 fixed small size. It will work directly with MD recorders that have active
 power on the mic input, but also comes with a battery power unit
 if you want
 to maximize MD battery life.


Any idea where we can buy this in the US?  I did a yahoo search, but all
sites selling it seem to be in the UK.

RE: MD: the best soundcard for MD? Opinions needed!

2001-09-09 Thread Payvand-G


 Hello List!

 What is in your opinion the best soundcard to record from through optical
 out onto MD?

 I mean sound quality first then other benefits.
 Thank s 4 your interest!


I like my Zoltrix Nightingale Pro 6.  I bought it for $60 including shipping
and it comes with a really long optical cord.  Digital/Optical in/out.

The only problem it's got is that it can't track-mark automatically which I
suspect is a problem all soundcards have.  But I use winamp and downloaded
the MD recording plugin that puts in a 3 second pause between tracks.  Set
up your playlist and hit record.  Works perfectly.  Keep in mind that price
was a factor with me.  I'm sure a card that costs 3 times as much will
probably be better.

MD: . digital cd-rom to soundcard cable

2001-09-09 Thread Payvand-G


Hello MD people,

I've been trying to find a cable so I can feed audio from my CD-Rom to my
new soundcard digitally.  The PC came with the analog CD-Rom to soundcard
cable, but no digital because the original sound output device didn't have
digital out.

I've gone to two CompUSA stores in the area and neither have the digital
cable.  This is not an optical cable.  It's a small cable that goes from the
back of the CD-Rom to a thing on the soundcard.  It looks similar to the
analog CD-Soundcard cable but it's smaller.  Does anyone know what I'm
talking about?  Any idea where I can order one?
