    Actors Allergic to Mic Tape

    if i recall correctly you're on the right track. tagaderm and transpore are the hypo-allergenic tapes if i recal correctly... most people who are allergic to mic tape are infact allergic to the adhesive. tagaderm is supposed to use a modified form that they shouldn't be allergic to. (I have...

    rechargeable batteries w/ wireless

    true, but I got tired of the bags of hundreds of batteries, and the multiple levels of bags of doom as you call them... my chargers warn me if any of the batteries should go into the "of doom" pile, and all the others work fine for me. not saying the solution is for everyone, but options can be...

    rechargeable batteries w/ wireless

    I've noticed some variance in charge based on the quality of the charger in many cases. Haven't had any experience with your particular charger but I also have not had issue with the eneloop batteries. (I have read reports that the "long life" NiMh batteries have less power capability than...

    rechargeable batteries w/ wireless

    This is I guess the update post to a previous post of mine... (sorry for the wall of text guys, but I figured it might be handy to know.) you can read the previous post in this thread for full details, but we've been running now since 08 at least on rechargeables for all our shows and techs...

    Newbe needing help with amp/speaker wiring

    hiya, what speakers are you hooking up to your amplifiers? depending on how the loads balance out, 1 speaker per channel isn't always the way to go... and how many outs do you need (aka stereo left right, monitor 1 and 2, or maybe both monitors produce the same thing.. etc.) sometimes you...

    Rain

    a lot of ambient effects sound like static, or for that matter sound like each other. (wind, rain, waves etc. can all sound very similar depending on how they're styled and where they're coming from) sometimes it's what the ambient sound is affecting that pulls it out and defines it. (in rain's...

    Windows Audio Recording/Editing

    well, audio hijack is a generic recording program that rips to mp3 on the fly (among other formats)... I don't know of a program for windows that links directly into another program the way hijack does, but I can tell you a method that does work for me... I know adobe audition (formerly...

    Sound Effect Ideas

    if you'd like a movie to reference a generic "slow down" may i suggest the matrix? without compensating for time stretch in most digital editing programs you get a pitch drop. if you want just a generic "slow down" sort of sound, you could start with a mid range general note/chord/noise type...

    rechargeable batteries w/ wireless

    I agree with that statement. it actually wasn't me that discovered it, it was my board operator who did it without asking me. however, it *did* seem to erase whatever problems the duracell chargers were creating for themselves in the duracell batteries.

    Wireless Mic Rigging -- The "Right" Way

    the ear to ear design i have is based off of dpa's headset as well. heehehehe.. interestingly, it attaches reasonably well to countryman e6s as well to give full wrap around head coverage when it just won't stay. (we had an actress with ears so small there was no way to hang the e6 off them...

    rechargeable batteries w/ wireless

    just thought I'd add my 2 cents regarding rechargeables. I've had experience with sanyo 2500mh NiMh, and duracell 2500mh NiMh rechargeables. (and a few stronger than that but yeah). I did a stress comparison in our shure UR-1 packs and our old sony (forget the designations) packs. they're...

    Wireless Mic Rigging -- The "Right" Way

    I see people talking about 170 bucks worth of suspension equipment and hellerman tools to hook up countryman b3s and stuff. I thought I'd add in a cheaper method that works for us.there's a wire type known as memory wire (same stuff that's used in teeth braces). it's available fairly cheap...
