Hello people.
I am pleased that Janne and/or freelists have this list set at no
attachments, as frankly I'm not too keen on receiving unsolicited audio
files when I have a working studio to run from the same computer! It's a fa=
r
better idea to post them on a web page,where you can add some accessible
info about the files (and yourself) - either something like a geocities pag=
e
or on Korgy Park if Janne will OK it. If anyone has a page with useable
samples or sysex stuff, email me and I will add it to the links on my site
in due course.
I have some new samples on my site. I have recorded some tabla playing by
percussionist Mick Tickner and there are zipped WAV files of 4 different
rhythms (2 traditional, 2 improvised) with single and double time feels.
They were recorded with a stereo pair of AKG C100S microphones which are
really good value these days and very useable on drum kit overheads, female
vocals and acoustic guitar. I also used a Tandy PZM for ambience - great
mics used by lots of pros.
If anyone is looking for a good condenser mic, I have bought a really good
one recently from Red 5 Audio, who only sell on the net at
http://www.red5audio.com. I have an RV10, with cardioid, omni and figure 8
pickup patterns, which has proved very good on a vocal session so far and I
have experimented briefly with it on drum overheads and trumpet, with so fa=
r
excellent results. This cost me =A3150, including good shockmount, foam
windshield and tough padded flightcase. Their straight cardioid RV8 is unde=
r
=A3100, with case etc. To put the price in perspective, I have used a Neumann
U87 in pro studios and just the shockmount for that mic costs =A3155!
Throw in something like a Spirit Folio Notepad mixer or one of the new
little Behringers and it is more possible than ever to put together a home
studio which could produce good results from both MIDI and live
playing/singing for very little money. An X5 or 05RW fits naturally into
that equation - they fit very well into a mix alongside guitar or vocals,
and mine sees use every day!
