I missed that article altogether. The idea was to build a light live recording rig for chamber music and theatre - so DSPs wouldn't be required for processing on location. We'll evaluate quality of the recording, but it looks like a very limited and not flexible enough option. So RAVENNA might end up being a better tool for the job in the end and Carbon will end up in a songwriting music room. |

Recently worked with a high-profile audiophile jazz label recording some big names. And of course, they wanted it at very high sample rates. And of course we were using some really high-end modern and very high-end (vintage) mics. But at no point, did the recordist ever check the frequency bandwidth of the mics in use. And, yup, none of them could even capture anything close to 48kHz so even 96khz recording was ambitious (and stupid.) Of the very few mics that can record into the extreme ranges, I have a few (the Sennheiser mkh800, mkh800twin, Sanken CO-100k, the Schoeps XT ) and though they can record extreme ranges, how they do it affects the more audible range (anomalies between 5k-20k in order to get the boost over 20kHz.) As for that jazz, the RCA 77DX, vintage Neumann M49 pairs, vintage ELA M251E pairs all roll-off to nothing by like 20kHz (and by nothing I mean digital black at -96dB.) They were never really meant to go much over 15kHz. I'd, every now and then, find a circuit buzz in the midst of the digital black high up. But mostly just a lot of waste of storage space. Something to think about that can save a lot of headache. (and after checking the mics, you need to check the mic pre capabilities; the whole chain needs to be checked if it is even capable before checking if it is a good idea) Do a test recording. Examine a spectrogram in something like iZotope RX. See if there is anything even there over a frequency point.

How much line input and mic inputs do you actually need? |

Re: Latest PT, Carbon and M1 question
Thank you all for your constructive comments regarding location recording.
Yes the full recording chain always has to be evaluated, tested, re-evaluated and re-tested. The aim is to create the least intrusive workflow, to be able to capture the magic of the moment. We have been recording at high sampling rates for a number of years already, and looking at Carbon in context of our work is just that. Seeing if it is one of the things we would be using long term. Equipment comes and goes. The good stuff stays and the mediocre and inferior tools get left behind. Once again, thank you all for quick response and advice. |
