This is a bit off-topic, but have you guys checked out dollarhost? (www.dollarhost.com). They seem like an excellent cheap solution and they've been around for a while. I'm teetering towards getting a domain and having them host it there. :ml --- Mike Lastucka, B.

In the past 6 years, I've been through 6 ISPs! They keep getting bought, or sold, or just change their name to something hip It's utter nonsense. Now I just accept the annual ISP change. -steve - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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!

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. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: MD: Field Recording (continued)
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. Yes, you are right, and I am surprised. I checked with Vivanco head office in Germany and the nearest distributer to the US is in Canada. If it's any use, the company is Diamond International in Winnipeg (Tel (204) 981 4556). I told Vivanco they were missing a trick by not selling in the US, because they have some great products. The EM216 is around 30 pounds here in the UK (about $45 US). If anybody wants one, I would happily mail one or more over at cost plus postage.

I use this $10 stereo mike that I designed http://www.tir.com/~liteways/Mandolin.html#Microphone with a SOny R30 recorder. It works very well, and since there are no cords to mess with is pretty handy to use besides. The sound quality is great too.
