Hi everyone, I haven't posted here for a very loooong time. It's nice to see the forum is still alive. I am a computer sciences teacher, and I record educational videos, mainly in the "talking head" style, with a lot of screen captures and a few close-ups. I film using a Legria HF G25...

I just read from a JuicedLink doc that: Does that mean that if I have a rather noisy preamp set on +50dB gain on a recorder, I would obtain better result by using a less noisy preamp first with gain of +25dB and cascading it with the noisy internal preamp of the recorder for the remaining...

Great review Michael. I don't know how I could have missed it until now (probably because it was not posted on the audio forum :D ) That's the one thing that puzzles me while reading the specs. You have the choice between three "gain settings", only the highest going over +50dB: It feels...

>> First, the story: If you already have read some of my posts, you know that audio/video is not my primary job. But I have (<- and "I like that") to record some training videos for our students. If the result is good enough, we will probably start to convert to video most of our students labs...

Maybe this one http://jwsoundgroup.net/index.php?/topic/20548-sampling-rates/ ? I agree for the "transducer" thing. But the "gain section" part is not really clear to me. I probably don't understand what you are tying to say. Sorry about that. But this gave me the idea to check how my low-end...

For what it worth, I made the following experiment this afternoon: I took a function generator and feed the Mic input of my laptop with a square wave of various frequencies @-10dBu. I recorded that signal @16bits/48kHz. And then replayed the captured signal out of the headset output. I...

You definitively made a point here. If I'm not too wrong, you talk about Fourier analysis. By searching a little in order to refresh my mind about that, I found this illustration: I think the illustration shows exactly what you are explaining. A "square wave" is a "sum of sine wave". The...

Sorry for the math! I easily have the feeling to grasp things better when I can put numbers and formula on them. I will try to restrain myself in that area. Promise. Anyway, a great thank you Alex for your detailed reply. That made many things much more clear ... and raised some more...

Until recently I never bothered with such things as "audio levels". Audio/video recoding is not my primary business, and for the few videos we've made so far, we have mostly used "plug-and-play" solutions (aka Rode Podcaster USB mic) -- keeping the level "as it" as it was "loud enough". Now...

Hi everyone, While using the Rode HS1 headset microphone connected through the Micon-5 XLR adaptor to an Art USB Dual Pre mic preamp set on +40dB gain (almost the max), I still have to boost the amplitude by +5/+10 dB on postprod in order to reach a level equivalent to the one obtained with our...
