I thought about that later. The Sennheisers are good, too. <<<My MKH 70 has been through 6 or 7 hurricanes and is still beautiful.>>> I believe it was the MKH-60 where you could change the nose for short or long throw capture. That's my friend in Florida who has to deal with salt water corrosion and...

<<<I mixed this down to mono and it was okay. In stereo, the voice has this very very short 'room' echo on it.>>> Say that again with different words. If you listen to your mono show with a stereo system, it sounds funny? Does it make any difference whether it's on-line or not? Koz

<<<Also I notice a stereo mix down to mp3 seems to increase the distortion markedly -- is there a way I can avoid this?>>> Gargly, bubbling MP3 distortion is a function of encoding bit rate. As the bit rate goes up, the quality and file sizes both go up. In Audacity 1.2 you have to set the MP3 encod...

Distilling a little bit: You are all on Windows machines. XP? You are all using Audacity 1.3.x. Your track specifications (on the left) are 44100, 32-bit float, Mono. Anything with show length? All these shows are over 30 minutes long, for example? You are all creating tracks that fail in exactly th...

You can get wacky MP3s if you use the Audacity default of 32-bit floating instead of the more conventional 16-bit. Try converting the original work to 16-bit and then create a new MP3.

It's them. I launched the web site and the player took over my machine and then crashed. It sets flags where I couldn't get rid of it even after restart. It bothers me that I couldn't get my machine back by using the command line tools. That's hard to break on an OS-X machine. I marked the link as d...

You generally only need to mess with ports if you're trying for a fully interactive experience or a videoconference service. Those demand symmetrical connections and don't get along very well with firewalls. You're definitely doing something wrong if you need to get down to that kind of granularity....
