I totally agree with Alex. In my case, have the NTG3, 4053b, and AT875 mentioned. For what I paid for all three, I could have purchased a high end mic of some sort, at the price of versatility. I...

DPA makes some pretty exceptional gear, so this review caught my eye:

Thoughts?

I use these manfrotto boom stands. No too heavy but plenty good for a boom mic or even smaller lights. They have a surprising amount of reach, but plan on a sandbag for the base and or to...

Bassman, if you have a moment, could you give away your 270 scene file for the clip in the video. I'd like to compare your special sauce to my brown gravy. Seems like my challenge with the 270 has...

Bassman, Thanks for the work you have done. As a 270 owner, I was really surprised how well the 270 footage held up in the clip compared to the 350. Not to judge tube video too critically, but I...

High end digitizing of vinyl will cost you plenty. Even a decent cartridge is expensive, add a precision turntable and you can spend a whole bunch. For not so important work, you can buy turntables...

I purchased a K&M unit. Will report back on quality when it arrives. They make two sizes, I purchased the smaller of the two since it would seem to me that would be sized right for an end address...

Hello Listers,

I want to add a pop filter or two to my kit. After looking through what seems like a meager selection at BH, I decided to solicit the audio board for recommendations.

This will...

Rycote also makes windjammers to cover the BBG which I don't have. I don't think you need them inside for booming. If i were going to use my SDC's outside often, I would certainly add them to...

No doubt I was playing fast and loose with the recording style definitions. I was referring more to the mics; a couple of SDC's and using them outdoors with BBG's regardless of pattern. The advice...

Alex, thanks for that. Like I said in the first post, tell me if I'm wrong headed.

Noiz, I really appreciate your input and it has great value, but I don't do any narrative type work, and with...

I still feel compelled to subscribe to LR for my still needs. On Black Friday's I have been able to purchase LR for around $60/yr and get Photoshop as part of the deal. That doesn't feel so bad;...

I was only imagining using a 4029 for dialogue for two people in an emergency only. Question: if I were using MS for a one person outdoor interview, I should be able to isolate the forward looking...

I left Adobe behind a few years back, use Resolve now, and even if I changed again, would never ever even consider a return to Adobe. That decision was originally based on the free Resolve option...

Hello Listers,

I'm trying to expand my capabilities and wondering about stereo mics. In particular I am thinking either the AT4029 or its longer brother the 4027. Both have lots of features and...

I am not the expert on this, but a few years ago, I added some studio type mics to my kit to do exactly what is happening here; quartet or smaller sized recording done solo. I am sure that a ...

Thanks for the responses.

Regarding the Laowa; how is the build quality? I could probably live without autofocus on a super W/A lens.

The Sigmas aren't inexpensive at all. Not quite in the...

I decided to engage the brain trust.

I am in search of a quality, full-frame, very wide angle zoom (or possibly a prime) of 12-14mm on the wide end. Not too concerned about the upper end of the...

Another RE-20 fan. I had tried multiple mics for my home studio VO needs and they all hated me. Tried the RE20 and was immediately happy.

If you are in that controlled environment you might...

OP here. Thanks all for the terrific responses. I was intentionally vague just to hear different ideas. When I think panels, it is usually due to some combination of lack of space, need for speed,...

Thinking about a fast to set up diffusion scheme for LED panels for a basic interview. What do you use? I'm trying to broaden my horizons here. I have some decent daylight panels and a few...

I watched a portion of a game the other night. What was really weird was the cardboard cutout fans. Really? Why not composite some real fans? Maybe folks wouldn't understand the lack of masks and...

Owner here of several of the mentioned mics. Add there NTG3 to the conversation which is somewhat more expensive. I know nothing of the NTG5. Impressions as follows:

AT875 Obviously a great...

So in my view, two fresnels with the included barn doors. Most of the fixtures come with barn doors right? So I'm not counting them.

For my two modifiers I would get a soft box as large as my...

"I'm buying this purely so that I can use dynamic mics like the SM57 right? "

Yes, and also if you choose a mic that needs phantom power. Most AI devices have multiple mic preamps-inputs if that...
