I just saw this posted on a Facebook Group. I haven't listened yet...

I have used the "plucking" technique to tune guy wires on communication towers. It works;)

Is it a MixPre6M?

Does anyone have the stock number for a Rycote sticky to fit a SM58? Asking for a friend....

Jay, thanks for the link! I just spent a very enjoyable 30 minutes with a cup of coffee on a lazy Sunday morning listening to some very interesting sounds, complete with images. Our world is a very intriguing place. The details below our usual focus are vast and, to me, very humbling.

To capture the melodic voice I would use a solo neutral mic (U89, TLM170, etc.) or a nice ribbon within the critical distance to focus the image, and a stereo pair farther out (spaced omni, fig. 8), placed to capture the amount of ambiance you want the room to contribute. From my locker I would use a Rode NTR as the main mic and a pair of MKH20 for the pair. Although it is tempting to use a stereo pair for the main capture, I would advise against it. Even slight movements of a single instrument facing a close pair will confuse the stereo imaging.

There are even better pricing options when purchasing through an on-line retailer: https://www.audiodeluxe.com/taxonomy/term/244/?f[0]=bm_field_on_sale_now%3Atrue&mc_cid=43793f7697&mc_eid=14fdd6e28b Discounted price will show when you place item in cart.

I haven’t downloaded the demo yet, so don’t know if I will upgrade from V6 Advanced. https://www.pro-tools-expert.com/production-expert-1/2018/9/12/izotope-rx-7-is-released-today-we-have-exclusive-demos-and-review-find-out-what-we-think

6 Advanced was a big step up for me. The upgrade from 5 Advanced was an instant buy once I trialled it. Protools Expert podcast this week covered some speculative discussion that Mike Thornton could neither agree with or deny (including the suggestion he may or may not have been a beta tester), although if you read between the lines...

KM183 is an omni, often used for choral or instrument spots. IMO, not a good choice for boom work, but could be useful for ambiance in the right room.

I bought that same cart several years ago. The main attraction was the small size and folding front nose. It is not heavily built and I would not recommend it for daily use. The wheels are quite small and made of hard plastic. 1 out of 5 stars, imo

The discounting of F8 has begun.... http://www.pinknoise-systems.co.uk/zoom-f8-multitrack-field-recorder-w-free-zoom-pcf-8-bag-delkin-16gb-sd-card.html

Dave, Have you tried Cabela's or Bass Pro? Not an endorsement as I haven't seen or used their products, but you may see something suitable there.

I believe the best features of RX are in the last two upgrades. https://www.izotope.com/en/lp/rx5/Top-reasons-to-upgrade-from-RX-4-to-RX-5-Audio-Editor/ Instant Process: The one-click magic eraser for your audio.
