I didn’t take pictures but I just watched a couple of movies where mics were totally positioned wrong and it really made me laugh. One was the Dalton Trumbo biopic and the other was the Chess records film. Both show side address mics repeatedly being pointed at the source as if they were top address mics. Not to mention that some of the mics pictured had not been invented yet in some cases. I thought it would be funny to start a thread for people to post a screen shot whenever they see something like that!

I have been recently thinking about buying a pelican case for my gear. But i was walking through a antique store the other day and i stumbled over this case. I instantly fell in love with it, and then with looking at it i decided that it would be perfect to use to hold my equipment. It folds open as you can see in the images i attached and has a spot where i put some foam to hold my wireless. I made some quick dividers for the one side and added some extra foam for padding in some spots. I may change it but this works for now. As a plus, inside of the case when i bought it, was filled with boxed vacuum tubes, all sizes. Which was pretty cool. …

For a couple of years now, I have really been digging "street art", and found a great website for it, in case anyone else is interested. www.streetartutopia.com Here some recent art finds I would like to share with everyone. Enjoy! and

So, while we were at IBC, we were made aware of a really cool bar called the Whisky Cafe. They have over 1500 different bottles of Whisky on hand, plus lots of other stuff. If you are ever in Amsterdam, and you enjoy yourself a good whisky, check this place out. Here are two pictures.

Cologne Cart 1 2

As an homage to Matthias Richter's long running thread, Berlin cart, I have called this one Cologne cart. This is to show my cart, but I would also like to encourage other Cologne based mixers, to show off their carts here, too. So my cart is based on two ABS cases. I am in no way a skilled handy worker, so this is not exactly beautiful craftsmanship and everything is improvised as I go along. I do try to think things through before building them, but more often than not that meant solving one problem while creating two new ones. All the parts are readily available at home depot or such like, except for the motors which I found on Ebay. I was so impresse…

Hi, I just watched a short documentary made in 1950 by Henri-georges Clouzot who was planning to shoot a documentary in Brazil. In this short he presents the project and film his team. We can briefly see some equipment from that era. You can watch it here: https://www.cinematheque.fr/henri/film/122297-brasil-henri-georges-clouzot-1950/ One shot really intrigued me. He presents his sound recordist who seems to be using an optical recorder that he has brought in his appartement. I have never seen these and would be curious to know more about it if anyone have some clues about what it could be:

Humans never could have taken to the oceans without rope: no string, no mariners. Photo by Stephen Barnes/Transport/Alamy Stock Photo String is far more important than the wheel in the pantheon of inventions. by Ferris Jabr March 6th, 2018 | 2,500 words, about 13 minutes https://www.hakaimagazine.com/features/the-long-knotty-world-spanning-story-of-string/ The void opened suddenly—a negative space where there had once been sand.

Saw this photo and thought the set-up could be ideal for recording lengthy oral history interviews. The goal is to encourage a relaxed conversational style with interviewees that may be intimidated by too much production (i.e., getting wired with a lav and/or sitting under an overhead boom rig). The set-up in this photo seems less intimidating with the mics placed off the eye line and a little further away (maybe 18"). My questions are: 1) What specific microphones would you use for this set-up? I'm assuming these are cardioid (super-cardioid) condensers with a pick-up pattern to allow some shifting of seated interview subjects? 2) Given the goal sta…
