<<<guy at work used to write an adhoc newsletter on various topics. people read it and liked it. he quit doing it cause he didn't get any feedback>>> You're supposed to say, "People missed it and wrote in. So he started it up again because he had no idea he had that many fans." I got pictu...

The really, really, really grown up version of this is a television newscast. They're wearing small, tie-tack microphones, sometimes hidden, sometimes not. They're wearing headphones, too. Gwen Ifill has a Telex earpiece jammed down the back of her dress and a transparent coil-tube behind her ear co...

No, the electronic construction is pretty simple. The Production itself is pretty grand given you have to bring it in under $100 USD.

<<<You are insinuating that we have talent, which is really the biggest issue I'm having.>>> I don't deal with that. My job is to get the performance recorded perfectly. Talent is your job. That makes you the Producer, by the way. That's the person who brings the show together before the performance...

This is not an inconsequential project. If you weren't carefully hand-constructing and choosing parts, a system like this would snap into the multi-thousand dollar range in a heartbeat. The commercial version would have an amplifier feeding the show mix back to the ear pieces. This is highly desirab...

Does it eventually freeze again, or was this a one-time problem?

<<<and that might be too much range for use in a car stereo.>>> And that's precisely the reason Chris developed his famous compressor. To listen to opera in the car without turning the performance into garbage. Listening room aside, it's still necessary to capture live performances in the volume the...

The singer spends most of his time in severe peak distortion and that's usually fatal. Clip-Fix and most tools like that are good for occasional tick here and there, not when the performance is a quarter distortion. You might try the clip fix, though. One of the oddities of the tool is that it somet...

Do you have a voltmeter or know how to use a continuity tester -- or better still, know somebody who knows those things? You can dig yourself a hole pretty quickly with this design; some of the connections are hidden inside rubber coverings. Missed one. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?pr...

The 2200 ohm or 2K2 or 2.2K resistor is standard and most microphones are comfortable with that. The 10000 ohm or 10K resistor is a protection device and doesn't enter into production of the sound. I used 4700 or 4K7 in my designs. 10K is probably better. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?...
