Prahlad Strickland Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Sorry if this has already been posted, but it's mighty impressive for a DIY. I'd never do it, but it's pretty sweet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quuHV9pTyoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 I'm not impressed with the quality of the on-camera presenter's dialogue. When the demo itself is not well-recorded, it doesn't say a lot for the quality of the product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Toline Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Nonsense. In this case the dialog was more than adequate for the presentation. It has absolutely nothing to do with the results of the quality of the product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Thomas Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 I was pleasantly surprised by that- looks like a very useful tool for FX recordists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginufuk Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Knowing how a simple soldering might get tricky at times, I think this is very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Feeley Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Not sure about "super high-end." But I dig this sort of thing; thanks Prahlad! Have I shown you the LA2A clone compressor I made a dozen years ago? No? Well consider yourself lucky. :-) Back to microphones... this site might get some of my money next year (though I'd be happy to be pointed to a better source): http://microphone-parts.com Not for work, just for fun... So who here has built a microphone? Show pix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has absolutely nothing to do with the results of the quality of the product. If I'm selling a microphone, why not make the dialogue sound really good, in a nice, quiet, non-reflective room? It doesn't take that much time or talent to do that. There's a ton of otherwise-decent YouTube presentations and tutorial videos that are terribly marred by bad sound, and it makes me sad, knowing that the solution would not have been that much more costly or time-consuming. Most of it boils down to knowledge and experience, not necessarily money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who here has built a microphone? Show pix! I Built a DIY U47, has two euro tubes to equal the same voltages the old tele metal tubes put out, it was a PTP build, out of my paygrade and skill level, but it sounds absolutely stunning. I paired it with a handbuilt capsule, it stands up very proud and strong next to my old M49 and old school U87, different of course, but definately holds up. I'll grab some pics soon. Thanks for the link, you probabaly just burnt a big hole in my pocket, those holes keep life exciting though, cheers Prahlad 6 hours ago, Marc Wielage said: If I'm selling a microphone, why not make the dialogue sound really good, in a nice, quiet, non-reflective room?

What kills me, is guitar shops selling boutique amps, and delivering youtube videos using nothing but the inbuilt DSLR mics... renders beautiful amps down to static. I really don't get that, bad for sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Thomas Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I get the impression that for a lot of people involved in music (especially the more 'project studio' end) that there's the impression that "it's *only* speech/video, it doesn't have to be as good" in that it needs to get the message across, rather than be endlessly tweaked with only the finest materials known to man, created by virgins and left under a waterfall for 20 years (or "sciencey" equivalent)... I've got to admit, before I came into the industry I thought a little bit that way too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze Frias Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Woah. Was I the only one who was tripping over the video's 60fps HFR playback (and thus the lack of motion blur)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afewmoreyears Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I saw absolutely nothing wrong with the video... For what info it was trying to convey, it was much more than adequate.. Tough room.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
