Hi Bonnie!
I downloaded all the posts that I could get from My BBS's link to this
conference and came across this post of yours.
Bonnie, after a very long Retirement from the Live Sound & Recording
Studio Field, I'm back into it and I've found a lot of New Things have
appeared.     I've used my first PZM mike about 1 month ago.  Worked
Very well for Big Kick sounds.
I'm not up on the latest terms used in todays circles.  What is a
"cheese slice"?   Would that be the modern version of the folded
cheese cloth over the wire coat hanger in front of the mike trick
from the old days?
BTW, The PZM I used was a Shure mic, don't remember the model
Number of it.    Sorry! Must be getting old.
Could you recommend some others PZM's that may be good to try out.
I'm wondering about the technique used with the PZM's for Over-Heads on
the drum kits.  Never would have thought of using them for the drums.
(have used AKG's and 81's for that job recently.)
Keep in mind that the PE-54's were the Hot mikes for Vocals when I
dropped out of the Sound Game.  Since I got back into It, I've been
feeling my way through all these "New Things" used today!
Would you also be able to recommend a Good Book that I could use to
bring me up to "Todays" *Standards and Practices*, for Both LIVE Sound &
the Recording Studio?
I need a handy Ready Reference Book.
BTW, I can't believe what a Fairchild Tube Compressor sells for today!!
Your Advice would be really Welcomed!
Regards,
Rich Koerner,
Time Electronics.
