Question on recording concert - interference

Some time back I mentioned that I was planning on recording of a concert at our Church. It's a piano and organ music. I was watching a Rode NT4 and a zoom recorder. Several people recommended that this be a good solution, so I went for it.  As you might say, I'm new to this. I have video but no audio experience.

I buy the equipment and recorded the concert this past week end. I got an excellent record with one exception. Once at the check there was a strong spikc. It has existed on the trail of the Rode and the railway of the built-in Zoom mic, leading me to conclude that something was interfering with the recorder. After careful consideration, the spike is a series of spikcs on 2 or 3 tenths of a second and a series of approximately 35 to 40 in about 5.5 seconds. They were more than 0 dB and of course distorted and flat. I was unable to clean them without affecting sound quality.

Fortunately for me, I have a friend with another microphone running directly to a camera video mid way back in the audience. His is not affected if I used it.

My question is: someone at - it any ideas what this could be? What could have caused it?

I guess that's the live recording hazzard. Someone suggested maybe a cell phone?

If any of you have experience with something like this I'd love to hear from you. Thanks much for any help.

Steve, I would like to ask another question if you don't mind. I'm finalising recording a cd. A part of the music hymns and some is classic. Do not compress the files, I was informed by a person who has experience of recording. I also learned by another one and more background check it's ok to compress of pop music.

Your opinion?

Unfortunately, this is the way of the world that pop music is generally compressed, mainly because record companies insist it is just as strong as possible on the radio - IE, very little dynamic. With what that classic, it is a cardinal sin, because the dynamics is an essential part of the music. What I would do with mixed material is probably compromised a little, but not using the compression as such. If the sections of classical music are quieter than the hymns, then is pushed at this level when it starts, or cut the level of hymn singing. This is known as 'the level on horseback' and generally satisfied the most critical listener better. What you have actually done is to leave the overall listening level then that is the same for all the content, and the listener should not keep the volume control. In general, however, ignore the people who say compress you more, because they don't really appreciate the music very well - just volume.

  • question re. records programmed in windows media Center

    I want to record a tv using Windows Media Center (WMC) series. I configured the tuner, WMC and took the series to record using the guide. My question is: what I must have WMC running in the background for the scheduled to start recording, or WMC itself will start at the right time? In addition, it will start my laptop? in other words, can I just turn off my cell phone (to save energy) and let and WMC invites you to my computer to start up and/or start WMC when programmed recording?

    The laptop doesn't have to be on, but if it isn't then it must be in mode 'sleep'. If you do a full closed then media library will not be able to restart the laptop, but it can be awakened from sleep mode.

  • Digital Dictaphone with Windows 7 questions. Recorder current is not compatible and do not find online that will be compatible.

    I recently bought a computer with Windows 7 64 bit home edition for my father. His job requires him to use a digital voice recorder to dictate things and send by e-mail to his company in the .dss format. He is currently using a recorder Olympus DS 330 on its old Windows XP machine. I called Olympus to ensure (an Olympus DS-330 recorder voice digital) device would be compatible with Windows 7 BEFORE buying the new computer for him. They assured me that "with version 7.1 of their new software it should be compatible. I was worried because the rep on the phone with me does not seem very confident in her answer and him using the word "should" is never a good thing.

    Sure enough I got the new Windows 7 computer running, installed the software, they told me to get their site, connected his player... The device has been recognized as connected BUT no driver could be found. Nothing I've tried the last hours won't work because there is simply no driver of Olympus or someone else to make this device work with Windows 7. To make matters worse I can't find a single digital voice recorder to buy for him online that IS compatible with Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit.

    I thought that this OS was not suppose to have questions 'pilot' that brought the Vista. Clearly, this isn't the case. Now I'm stuck with a computer of my father can not use everything just because Windows 7 can't find enough important digital voice recorders work with. Someone has an idea of a recorder of the word that is compatible with windows 7? Yes I have not looked at this site "Compatibility Windows"... no luck. So, if I can't find a... Looks like we're $500 thanks a ton Olympus and Windows 7!

    Thanks for posting that.

    The compatible ID confirms that it is not only a storage device, so it uses just the drivers supplied with Windows.  If this isn't a problem with Windows 7.  This is a problem in which the hardware vendor must be resolved.

    I searched online for the VID & PID and found only a few strokes on Bing.  None of them make no mention of 64-bit support.  And they are all pretty old.  I see dates pilot since 2001.

    So the best option is to contact Olympus again to see if they have drivers for Vista 64 bit or Windows 7 64 - bit for this device, or to confirm to you what devices ARE supported on 64-bit.

    Looks like the above driver package for their recorders VN series.  It seems to be relatively cheap - http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1389&fl=5&acccategory=84 (the VN5200 is still cheaper).

  • A & QUESTION SRV RECORD

    I have a real?

    Have a network of VCS X8.2.2 of two cluster control.

    I was running a three server cluster, but due to latency issues took the VCS3, I deleted from the cluster and makes it independent.

    I removed the intellectual property of the counterpart of cluster list also.  That was months ago.

    Problem is this morning when systems checking, I noticed that one of my VTC systems was recorded on the single VCS3 media... Problem is in the system in the H.323 call control settings, I have the SRV cluster name and not the IP address of the VCS3 yet he him?

    I don't want any system recorded in the autonomous VCS3 and want to keep the name of the SRV cluster in the area... ???  I changed the doorman affecting intellectual property SRV record and he also recorded for the VCS3...?

    What could be causing this to happen?  Also, the priority is set to one on all of the SRV records.

    VR

    Chet

    I suppose that you in fact removed the old SRV records and replaced by a new that has not listed of VCS - C3?

    If you want to ensure that no system is able to register with that specific VCS, define a strategy of 'Decline' record for the sub-area of default and all other Subzones, you might have on this VCS.

    manufacturer's recovery disks are specific to the make and model

    You cannot use a Dell disk on an HP machine

    Make sure that you borrow / use the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer because there are 2 Vista DVD

  • Toshiba Cameilio H10 - Question about recording format

    Conversion of camcorder high definition help please!

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I recently bought a Toshiba Camileo H10 what movies in HD 1080 x 720 camcorder. I did several video clips in this format.

    Now, when I'm going to try my suite video Ulead Moviemaker 6 messing around with videos to burn to a disc, it won t work as they are registered as .avi files.

    So I tried to use the Arcsoft Mediaconverter that came with the camcorder to change them in MPEG4 or similar and may not work with the Ulead software. It helped and made the right format, but on the contrary reduced definition 640 x 480.

    Windows encoder doesn't work either.

    How can I change the clips to the correct format without losing the definition?

    Or, what will work the video suites in .avi format?

    Any help greatly welcomed!

  • Is there a Windows 7 option mixer to record?

    question of recording - mixing table

    y at - he option of windows 7 "recording mixer? XP has had a separate 'vision' for the record?

    Hi RustyBen,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Forum!

    In Windows 7, you had in windows XP there is no option of recording mixer.

    However, you can try the following procedure:

    1. go to control panel then sounds.

    2. on the recording tab right-click in the box
    and select "Show disabled options" and "show disconnected devices" and check if it works.

    You can go through the link that talks about high definition sound and music from your computer below:

    In Windows 7 sound recorder is intended only for end of record. You cannot change the songs in sound recorder. You will have to go to his editing for this effect of third party software. You can take deadmanwalking86 into account recommendation.

  • Flight recording can be triggered programmatically?

    Registration of mission control Java function flight looks great and seems to be perfect for the production of ex problems troubleshooting. High CPU utilization. I had a question - the recording of the flight is triggered by the java application programming? I understand that flight recording can be triggered through the jvm options like - XX:StartFlightRecording = duration = 60 s, filename = myrecording.jfr, but that's not what I'm referring too. I am also aware that the use of flight recording in production environments requires a license of Advanced Java SE.

    I see two benefits of programmatically trigger the recording of the flight

    1 to avoid manual intervention in the connection to all production environments (which seems impossible when there are more than hundreds of running Java virtual machines)?

    2. less than reliability on the team of support and operations to know how of the flight record?

    I view it to be triggered by a thread that monitors the jmx metrics periodically (for example ProcessJVMLoad) and triggered a flight to check if the value exceeds 90% (for 3 times consecutively). The recording of the flight could be a specific time and location can be selected in the configuration.

    Hi Andy,.

    Seems that jconsole can not handle more complex parameters. Instead, use the JMC JMX console. The JMX Console of JMC has even a special tab where you can play with the controls of diagnosis.

    The flight recorder MBean must be properly initialized and registered. If you use the JMC to start a recording, for example, it will be initialized. So one way you can play with her, she at first to start a recording, then use the JMX Console of JMC to play with the MBean. I hesitate to post the code here how to use this MBean is not supported.

    To programmatically call the DiagnosticCommandMBean with, just do it like you would for any remote JMX operation.

    Kind regards

  • Slow mobile performance with Questions Quiz

    I have a class which is about 60 slides.  There are a lot of animations, images, web objects that perform the video server scripts and quiz questions, storytelling records.  The thing was still very slow on the iPad.  There were about 5-6 questions to quiz scattered on the course and when I removed all, I was able to navigate the course with a lot more ease.  No freeze, not could skip pages.

    No one knows what might explain this?

    What prompted me to try to delete the quiz questions: quiz set initially to demand all.  When I changed the settings of the optional quiz, each unique quiz question became omitted except one.  Possible this issue a quiz has been corrupted semi and perhaps the cause?

    Have you tried to remove this question and recreate it from scratch? That's certainly what I would do in this case.

  • Question performance tuning...

    Hi all...

    Database: Oracle 9i

    Sorry for the vague question.
    I have a process that runs in "PROD" for (24 h) too high, which I am trying to tune.
    But the problem is that the same process in "DEV" only "15 min". There is a reason for that.
    "PROD" and "DEV" data are not synchronized.

    Table of one of the main process questions following records

    PROD-> record 340 million.
     partioned by monthly, have indexes on most of the "important" columns that queries are using.
    IN DEV-> record 26 million
    i cannot copy the "PROD" data to "DEV"
    I tried the following things.

    (1) verified "explain plan" for all queries that are in the process.
    explain the plan looks good for most applications. I mean most applications use "index scans" rather than "full table scan.
    I know it's not the only thing that I should. There are several other things that could give the issue. But the plan of the explain command is ""not really bad.

    (2) accrued dbms_profiler to verify the statement that re take longer. I'm able to find "some" who need some settings.
    By the way, my queries in the process will use hadly 1 or 2 partitions. i mean 1 or 2 months data
    How can i tune something which is running is ok in "DEV", but not in "PROD"?
    Sorry i didn't give much details about any other stuff.
    Please guide me some steps I can do to find out what is the cause of the problem.

    Please let me know if I need to post some explain plans or any other outputs.

    Thanks in advance

    (1) verified "explain plan" for all queries that are in the process.

    Are the execution of PROD or DEV plans?
    You could try to simulate PROD on DEV important statistics.
