    Hello Anton, Hope you are well... I think i mentioned it before but trust me, grab a Sennheiser e935 and review it. I trully believe its the diamond that somehow eacaped you 😊... its the mic for everyone out there who has been using an sm58 or a beta and ials looking for something that can capture more detail and clarity without the need of heavy EQ.

    hello sir, I'm facing this kind of situation. i bought a Mackie 30ProFXV3 from a local church. they've been using for almost 3 years and most of the gain knob facing crackling noises. my question is, how's your mixer now? is it in good condition once you do the cleaning thing? it's been 2 years since you post this video. mind to share it?

    I'm coming here 2 years later on the same search: I've got a low voice that goes down to an A1 chest (maybe an F#1 occasionally as I learn) up to an E4. Not much oomph below a B1 though. A year ago when I started exploring I started at a D2. I sing backing vocals and a few leads on a relatively noisy stage. All of a sudden my Sen e935 doesn't work down here very well. Above a D2 it was OK. My voice always sounds kind of 'hollow' and all you hear is the air if I get right on it, it seems; maybe a better mic would help that, too. All the mics mentioned in the video and comments discussion run from $400 to much more, out of my budget for our 3-piece cover band, or at least more than I want to spend. We only play out about 40 times a year, I guess 3 shows worth wouldn't be too bad. But... I was looking at the EV ND96 for around $200, much more in my price range. Very tight pattern. Reviews mention it being a 'fuller' sound, which I think I also need for the middle part of my range. Is there anything else out there that I might want to consider? Or just bite the bullet and look at the one Anton mentioned, or some others in the comment. Thanks for any input anyone can provide. My goodness that video, those two lowest notes!!

    I think it records what's there. It's easy to roll bass off if the source is too bassy, but it's not so easy to add bass naturally if the source is thin-sounding.

    Hi Anton, For years, I've travelled on the road of master keyboard, audio interface, laptop and amp. For a clean stereo image (for rotary simulators, pads etc.) I have used a small PA or powered speakers. On the laptop, I'd run a DAW but these days use Gig Performer which is an amazingly stable and reliable host. With such a setup, that has many advantages for me, earth loops were the first issue that arose between the components and seemed to scupper whole concept at the very outset. The simple answer was to get a Ground (or Earth) Loop Inhibitor (or isolator). These typically come in L and R channels and use RCA plugs to the audio output socket/s and then plug into your amp or desk. They can easily be had for around a tenner and totally remove the hum issue. Most of what's inside is just a big capacitor per channel.

    When I joined the Pentax forums I discussed Chromatic Aberrations with one chap and he informed me that CA's are there in lenses by design and it creates the 3D effect or dimensionality to an image. Its been 15 years since I heard that and I can concur that this is correct and when ever you see a lens producing CA's its a good or great thing IMO. So like at the cinema when you watch a 3D movie you buy a pair of cardboard glasses with one eye red and the other blue to fool your brain as you combine the images from both eyes you get the impression of dimensionality. Mix red and blue paint, you get purple down a single lens. The movie isn't as sharp but its very interesting all the same. Some of best lens manufacturers like Zeiss and Voightlander can have lenses with psychedelic CA's from wide open, and thats where they shine and the image looks most dimensional, but you need to shoot in monochrome to save the dimensionality in the image. In colour if you edit out the purple it might lose that 3D pop, or shoot without high contrast things in the frame if you can and it pops. But thats the thing, if there's fringing around high contrast objects, why isn't appearing in a low contrast scene? Thats because the CA's or light hitting the film or sensor at a slightly different time is simulating DEPTH or dimensionality. You don't have to believe me......... But the video game makers are also adding lens aberrations into their video games to make a more cinematic experience, like lens flares and lens bloom and adding CA's. There's in game footage in some youtube videos showing "With CA's turned on and with CA's turned off" and when they're on the image is has more ambience and dimensionality, but it loses some sharpness. Without CA's on the video game is sharper. Okay so thats where the problem is and that is about having a sharp image with CA's and dimensionality in a lens. Here is some in game footage with CA's on and off, and you can see there's more ambience and dimensionality with it on. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eJuCrKRxYLKappM.html Not just used in video games but in CG movies too. I've seen youtube videos where they CG an old scene from Star Wars and add lens aberration including CA's to give the image a more cinematic feel and ambience. In the video below they "Adds a healthy dose of CA's" along with many other lens aberrations to create that cinematic look. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fWeWwbWYodeol8Y.html So the photographic industry talks about CA's like its a dirty word and they review lenses by saying "CA's are well controlled" which means the lens has virtually no 3D pop. I've had those modern lenses for mirrorless with no CA's and no 3D pop, and I was looking at my files on the computer going "why does everything look so bland and boring and sterile and clinical". Sold it all and kept my Pentax gear. I like CA's because I know what they're doing in there. The problem with the modern stuff is that they're trying to get rid of the CA's so they're copying Zeiss's Distagon formula of having floating elements in a prime lens and sort of slicing the image via bokeh and how the out of focus areas are split up. So's that when you look at the image it looks kind of holographic at the depth of field and considerably before and after it. The $30,000 cinema lenses do this. But the modern for mirrorless lenses are doing it a little bit, plus having high edge to edge and corner to corner sharpness that all the lenses are now exactly the same from all the manufacturers. Modern photography wants and demands sterile lenses with no character, because they can add those things in post to a certain degree. They are taking the cinematic look out of the lenses in exchange for clinical sharpness and 2D flat images where objects can blend togther. But when a lens can separate tree branches and give a depth in the tree canopy and another lens simply cannot do it and it all merges, then thats when you have 2D lens.

On the video you made comments regarding the use of a leather insole attached to the tongue rather than the bed of the shoe.

    So this unit can isolate the grounds of the two sides and, therefore, break up the ground loop and can also convert an unbalanced signal into a balanced one, which may also contribute to lower noise levels, especially, in case of a long cable run. However, unlike a typical di box, it won't attenuate the signal from line level to microphone level and won't perform an impedance conversion due to its 1:1 transmission ration (0 dB gain).

    Hi, Anton, I've never gotten good live feedback from v7 (I have the standard version); I don't have the 945 but I have an Electrovoice ND96 which has a more unbalanced sound towards the medium-high frequencies, I think like the 945, with which I have a very good feeling on stage. Perhaps the v7 sounds flatter and more natural but the fundamental thing for a singer is to have good feedback, this helps to feel better and consequently to be more in tune and to sing with less effort. The ND96, which I recommend, is a great microphone in this respect and I also prefer it to the Beyerdynamic M88TG, which is part of my arsenal. It also depends on the context: perhaps acoustically or with music and low-noise environments, I would choose the other two but in general I always carry the ND96 with me, which helps me a lot, with stage monitors or in ear monitors. I use to sing with my lips on the microphone and in the low tones the ND 96 is never muddy
