Re: [all-audio] To Dane and list
Yeah for me the NT1-A would be $600. Why's that ya ask? Because I want the matched stereo pare. Yes they are studio mics but Ifound a recording on youtube of someone with an Zoom H4N recording a beach. On 2/11/2019 8:43 PM, Andy via Groups.Io wrote: Hi again Hamid my friend. I don't have any microphones at the moment, apart from an old set of Binaural BSM 9 series and I'm hoping to get the newer model with external power supply for doing my street podcasts with street bands etc. I've actually been focusing on buying the big gear, in my case the Zoom F8N. The mics will come later! However, I'm also looking for a couple of microphones for a small acustic band and a I was thinking of a couple of Sure 57 microphones with one with the good Plosives filter for the singer, , a couple of anti-chock fitments and either one or two microphone stands of good quality. These would throw me out about £250. However, after listening to your recommendation last evening regarding the Road RT1 setup, and after how much Neal has promoted this mic. I had a look on the Gear 4 site in London very late last night. The whole kit with one microphone will throw me about £350. The specifications on this microphone are indeed inpressive, however, it's only a very high quality studio microphone and the last thing I want to do in my podcasts is to speak in a studio situation. . It's all about the talent, and not me speaking like neal, for I've nothing to say that would be of interest. But what you did say last night that I really need to know is the interface between my Zoom F8N and a new set of Binaural BSM 9 microphones so I can get almost 3D recording quality on the street. You menttioned you'll need the Zoom XYH6 peace or even the XY H5 peace. Then connect them to . ... I understand that what you are telling me is that if I wish the binaural BSMs to be used with their quarter inch jacks, I need an external power supply that I can attach this adaptor into the withe an XLR plug, plug into, for example Channel 3? Is that right? I need at this time to record Binaural recordings for the street and something that will record a small accustic band or quire .. I was thinkin of Initially having 2 microphones for one singer, guitarist and if this works out another 3 or 4 stand microphones for the whole band. Very expensive but I've already started on this path. But firstly I need a secure interface between my BSM binaural quarter inch microphones and Channel 3. Can you please therefor recommend were I could purchase such an adaptor, here in Scotland. My sighted wife has access to Amazon by the way, so if I can get it there, then we are laughing. I knew that what I wanted to do would be expensive so I've been saving up and with my hopes of recording a full accustic band with perhaps 4 microphones on stands was going to be very expensive but this is the path I'm Currently on, though it may take me some time to save up. All your thoughts or ideas are of valuable to me so please don't hesitate to tell me. Very best wishes. Andy.

I guess I'm just coming from another perspective I heard on another of Scott's shows. Where if you record in 96 let's say, when you resample you'll get a better 48 24 recording. I've even used 44 thousand 100 16 bits CD audio on mine just because the LS-14 can't play anything elase in mono. It has to be CD quality for it to work in mono. Which I was confused by when I got it. Because all the DMs I'd had before this even playeed 48 16 in mono though they didn't record that. But oh well. I can't wait to hear some F8N samples. On 2/9/2019 9:51 PM, Dane Trethowan wrote: I chose 96K 24-bit because not all functions of the Zoom F8N support higher bit rates, Auto Mix for example but nevertheless 96K is a damn good rate to be using with 24 bit. I can understand where the engineer is coming from in a lot of ways setting the sampling rate at 48KHZ. Whilst I prefer higher myself a lot of computers would probably have trouble handling any more than 48K depending on the software and Sound Card being used so that would be one factor to take into consideration. With the Mac which I use most of the time this isn’t a problem. The other point being here is that you’re making live recordings and you probably won’t be wanting to master them. So back to the recorder itself. I’ve been going through the menu options as I’ve been telling the list over the last month or so. The first 2 options in the memory are “Finder” and “Medadata For Next Take”. The Finder allows you to search for content within folders on the SD card or cards if you have more than one installed. I’ve not examined this option but will do in the future when I work out how to connect a Keyboard to the F8N though even then without speech there seems little point. On the other hand Enter Metadata for Next Take may be slightly useable with a keyboard. No, I won’t get any feedback however I should be able to remember the order in which the metadata is presented thus I can move through the fields etc. The manual for the F8N gives specific keyboard commands to do just that. The next 2 options in the menu system are Input and Output respectively and I’ll be working on those next week. On 10 Feb 2019, at 7:48 am, Hamit Campos wrote: Ah yes I forgot that.

. Although I was wanting him to set up 24 bit WAV at 192, he recomended against this and droped to the standard of 40 or 48. He stated that the human ear really could not tell the difference. I just wanted it because it was there. After he asked me of the kind of recording I did, he recommented that tracks 1 through 4 should be on microphone and tracks 5 through 8 Line in. Anyway I couldn't argue with a sound engineer of our capital radio station, haha. Anyway it's all done now and I intend to use my old X Y and Side angle microphones to plug directly into the device for desk-top or table-top recordings. But it's a Field Recorder so I want to get out and about in the streets and record things, so the clip-on microphones will be of little use as the device will be in a sound bag. So I'm looking for a good microphone that I can attach to my jacket. I would love to use my BSM Binaural microphones for this but I don't know exactly how to do this. Obviously I'd need an adaptor to take the small plug up to quarter of an inch. But would I need Phantom power turned on, on that channel? One thing is for sure I cannot walk through the streets of Glasgow with a guide dog on my left, a sound bag hanging from my right and me holding a microphone out in front of me. This is why I like the BSm 9 Clip on microphones. Any advice regarding how best to use my BSM binaural microphones out of doors or an alternative type of body microphone that anyone can recommend would be very helpful. Very best wishes.

Firstly the Zoom F8N stands on 4 rubber feet which are placed on the bottom of the recorder so you know where the bottom is by the feel of the rubber feet. The top is easily identified by 4 slotted screws that hold the recorder into the rack mount. There is a handle on each side of the recorder so when the recorder is standing on its rubber feet these each handle will be protruding from either side of the recorder. The display of the recorder therefor is on the front left with the control panel taking up the rest of the area on the front panel. On the left hand side you have tracks 1 through 4 as XLR/TRS inputs along with the 2 SD Card slots and the multi function USB port. On the right hand side you have tracks 5 through 8 XLR/TRS inputs along with the external power supply socket mini XLR out sockets, a sub output socket and the headphones socket. On the back from left to right there is the Zoom Capsule connector which has a cover over it, 2 sockets which are for Time syncing with a video camera and so on and the 9 volts DC power socket for the supplied AC adapter. At the bottom on the recorder at the back in the centre is the screw to you losen to remove the battery compartment door so you will have to turn the recorder upside down to insert batteries.

Further to my last message a few weeks ago when I advised that I had secured the assistance of my local bar maid to describe the layout and functions of my Zoom F8N, and that I had also secured assistance in setting my device up by the Radio Operations Manager at BBC Radio Scotlands flagship at Pacific Quay. Well guys all went very well indeed. I recorded the bar maid on my old Olympus DS50, so I can return to that as often as I need. The BBC engineer's visit was slightly later than planned and I simply forgot all about making a recording! Shame that. Anyway Dane. You were right, the functionality is laid out very simply and very tactilly and like you said, it's going to be a piece of cake. Although I was wanting him to set up 24 bit WAV at 192, he recomended against this and droped to the standard of 40 or 48. He stated that the human ear really could not tell the difference. I just wanted it because it was there. After he asked me of the kind of recording I did, he recommented that tracks 1 through 4 should be on microphone and tracks 5 through 8 Line in. Anyway I couldn't argue with a sound engineer of our capital radio station, haha. Anyway it's all done now and I intend to use my old X Y and Side angle microphones to plug directly into the device for desk-top or table-top recordings. But it's a Field Recorder so I want to get out and about in the streets and record things, so the clip-on microphones will be of little use as the device will be in a sound bag. So I'm looking for a good microphone that I can attach to my jacket. I would love to use my BSM Binaural microphones for this but I don't know exactly how to do this. Obviously I'd need an adaptor to take the small plug up to quarter of an inch. But would I need Phantom power turned on, on that channel? One thing is for sure I cannot walk through the streets of Glasgow with a guide dog on my left, a sound bag hanging from my right and me holding a microphone out in front of me. This is why I like the BSm 9 Clip on microphones. Any advice regarding how best to use my BSM binaural microphones out of doors or an alternative type of body microphone that anyone can recommend would be very helpful. Very best wishes.

Ah cool. Yeah 8 tracks I think it was the 100 could do. But oops, only 2 XLRs. I never did understand the wind thing. I didn't realy mind that much as had I got 1 like I do with the H6 I'md mostly use my awesome Audio-Technica AT-8022. Yeah the line in thing. I remember you saying the line in on the LS-100 was awesome. I don't know how line in sounds on the 100 though but from Neal's demo of his keyboard the H6 Line-in audio especially if you use the 4th inth jacks in the XLRs is pure epicness. On 1/26/2019 2:21 PM, Dane Trethowan wrote: The first thing to be said about the LS-100 is its lack of inputs so that really stuffs the multi track idea up completely, what's the point of a multi track recorder with 2 inputs? The Zoom H6 is more practical with 6 inputs. Second I was never able to successfully navigate the multi track Interface of the LS-100 whereas using Multi track functionality of the Zoom H6 and F8 recorders is an absolute breeze in comparison. Yes I used the Olympus LS-100 for quite a few tasks as I've detailed on this list. These tasks included sampling Vinyl and I've also said that if you're into sampling vinyl then the LS-100 would be a great choice for that sort of thing rather than sampling directly to your computer. The microphones of the LS-100 sound very nice but as Neal and others have said - and I say -, recording outdoors is a real problem as wind gets through the sockets of the recorder so - even if you have a wind screen fitted - you will get interference from wind noise. -Original Message- From: all-audio@groups.io On Behalf Of Hamit Campos Sent: Sunday, 27 January 2019 4:55 AM To: all-audio@groups.io Subject: Re: [all-audio] To Dane and list Ah interesting.

Re: [all-audio] To Dane and list
Also once I've found out how SoundForge Pro or hell even the new Audio Studio treets it than it's just a matter of getting the EXH6. Because if SF Pro sees it as a 5.1 thing as I suspect it would than perfect. As a matter of another fact, even during the time boath the 100 and the H6 were boath arround and a choice I always considered sucking it up and getting it over with and just getting the H6. Because yes the 100 talks thus 1 can do things on the fly more easly. Yes it had switches for phantum so on the fly you can activate and deactivate at will. But like you said once Dain, what's more important? Quality or ease. Well I took it and added chanals. I decided 5.1 is more important to me. Also like I said before the H6 is quite a bit brighter than the 100. It's more closer to the 788-T dreem. On 1/26/2019 12:22 PM, Dane Trethowan wrote: Okay perhaps I didn’t explain myself correctly.

So how would anyone see the display on the right edge if it's in a bag? Dane, I'm sure will be having a good old laugh at me, as I've had the device for about 3 months now. So please dane, be gentle with me, hahaha! Very best wishes. Andy. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

Re: [all-audio] To Dane and list
I’m not laughing and I’m very lucky I guess in that I’m curious and I get some sighted assistance every now and then to give me a hand. Firstly the Zoom F8N stands on 4 rubber feet which are placed on the bottom of the recorder so you know where the bottom is by the feel of the rubber feet. The top is easily identified by 4 slotted screws that hold the recorder into the rack mount. There is a handle on each side of the recorder so when the recorder is standing on its rubber feet these each handle will be protruding from either side of the recorder. The display of the recorder therefor is on the front left with the control panel taking up the rest of the area on the front panel. On the left hand side you have tracks 1 through 4 as XLR/TRS inputs along with the 2 SD Card slots and the multi function USB port. On the right hand side you have tracks 5 through 8 XLR/TRS inputs along with the external power supply socket mini XLR out sockets, a sub output socket and the headphones socket. On the back from left to right there is the Zoom Capsule connector which has a cover over it, 2 sockets which are for Time syncing with a video camera and so on and the 9 volts DC power socket for the supplied AC adapter. At the bottom on the recorder at the back in the centre is the screw to you losen to remove the battery compartment door so you will have to turn the recorder upside down to insert batteries. > On 26 Jan 2019, at 11:34 am, Andy via Groups.Io > wrote: > > Hi Dane and list. > > Regarding my Zoom F8n, I managed to secure the assistance from the BBC Radio > Scotland's, radio Operations Manager today by phone and I'm delighted that he > is willing to set up my Zoom F8n for me. > > This is fantastic because I don't know anyone up here in the wilderness of > Scotland who could help me out. > > So I'm meeting him a his work in 2 weeks time and although the setting up > should be simple for him, I'm still very unsure of the device I've purchased. > > I'm hoping to get my local bar maid to describe the recorder and it's buttons > and also the Zoom bag that I also purchased and of course I've also got > Youtube. > > But I really got to ask Dane this silly question. > > I've unboxed my Zoom and it looks as though it stands on it's left side > vertically, however the rather large and clumsy Zoom F8n bag I purchased will > only take the device laying on it's back. > > So how would anyone see the display on the right edge if it's in a bag? > > Dane, I'm sure will be having a good old laugh at me, as I've had the device > for about 3 months now. > > So please dane, be gentle with me, hahaha! > > Very best wishes. > > Andy. > > > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
