Ahhhh, the ongoing source of entertainment that is this thread... Honestly, this is funny at this point.  I save this thread for when I'm bored at work to catch up and make me shake my head at something other than the people I speak to here.  Guys, don't take it so seriously.  Really, don't. Furburger just wants to get a rise out of Daspyknows.  I think it's safe to say that everyone on this site knows that internal microphones, although can surprise us when the stars align, are generally all crap and make recordings that reflect their quality as a microphone.  Real mics, on the other hand will have a sonic leg up on all internals.  Tiny stealthy mics, although often a necessary evil for what many of us do, aren't all that bad, and can make a nice recording.  They are certainly not as high end as a full-sized, high quality microphones, but they can make a very good recording in the right situation.  Sonics, dynamic range, depth, etc are all going to factor into the sound and richness of the recording.  The bottom line, however, is that some people are tone-deaf and won't hear the difference.  That isn't an insult, it's a fact.  Not far above that bottom line is the simple fact that different people like different things, and sound.  Additionally, there is a certain pride
(perhaps not the best choice of words) in our own recordings - when they come out to our liking, of course.  All of these factors come into play when it comes to our opinions about this stuff... so I think everyone needs to be a little bit kinder.  Just sayin'.


the DR-2D internals are not crap.


I've gotten too many excellent pulls with them to buy into that for one second.

the Edirol R-09 ones ARE crap, and I've not used any other internals.


it's all about the gain, and the positioning.

Off to tape Mavis and to make a better recording that you will ever make.  Just stating the obvious.




so where is it?

mines already up, and doing quite nicely.

I said fuck Winwood.....not really into that crusty oldhead shit that you hold so dear.

the Waits and Musselwhite guest spots at Mavis made that show the correct decision. had there not been a rain delay, I prolly would have done Winwood as well.

I utterly nailed 6 shows in 6 days, sitting in Seattle right now before doing it all again on the 24th.


As a Waits fan I would like to get my hands to this Mavis recording, no matter if internals or Schoeps.....FIW I did internal mic recordings and Schopes recordings...some good some bad with both equipments...

Here's a gem by the master himself. Bow down to turdburglar. Sweet kenwood eq.  ::)
What happened, you get too spun, warfield too much for you? Jerry was laughing at you. :o
As we all do every time you speak. You literally give me douche chills every time you post
Just go away.

I can't stand Jerry Garcia, and it was utterly painful to watch all the stinky hippies twirling about in the aisles at that show. had already taped nearly 20 shows the month before, and was so not into his out-of-tune playing that it is one of less-than-five shows I've EVER walked out of early.

yes, Mick told me that the other source had fades between the songs, but he still wanted to upload it, and I trust his ear.

he said it sounded "just like being there".

and that's good enough for me.

not sure what you're really trying to say up there, but even an incomplete Jerry show from me gets 100+ snatches.

Hahahahahaa

"I think it's safe to say that everyone on this site knows that internal microphones, although can surprise us when the stars align, are generally all crap and make recordings that reflect their quality as a microphone."

Yes, I thought I was very clear when I said that it is possible to pull a good recording with internals...which includes yours.  You can huff and puff all you want, but given an ideal recording situation for both internals and for a high quality pair of microphones, there will be no comparison.  A pair of internals are not equipped to handle what many bands will throw at them, a full size diaphragm with high quality electronics can. Period.

Totally agree but I sense that the goalposts have been moved again based on the latest rant.  The definition of quality is now the number of downloads made by non tapers who know little about sound quality and just see the "look at me, my recordings are best" comments.  Anyone who questions that or actually takes the time to listen becomes the target of insults. 

Most tapers don't need to or feel they have to fluff their recordings.  The recordings speak for themselves and whether the Cybermooses of the world download the recording is irrelevant to sound quality.

Agreed.  Personally, I have no interest in the amount of downloads of a recording since it means virtually nothing at all, other than the possibility that they posted their pull first and it became the most seeded and has the illusion of being popular.  A taper, like myself, will no doubt look at the gear used before they download.  I do, and automatically pass on any internal recordings as well as any equipment I don't particularly care for.  If I want something that I didn't record myself, I will search for the best equipment and location before downloading.  I totally believe that a non-taper (or laymen), will often assume the more downloads, the better the source.  If they're happy, that's all that matters, but could you imagine if their eyes (ahem, or ears) were opened all of a sudden and they listened to a superior recording of something they thought they were happy with?

So true.  There is only one "taper" who seems to think it really matters. 

For all the trashing of Eric Clapton, the recording has more downloads than any of the internal mic recordings being fluffed.  The more downloads just means more people want to hear Clapton who sold out Madison Square Garden than Magpie Salutes who from what I saw posted couldn't even sell out the Fillmore (900 people). 

There are ways to goose download counts if its important to someone, but that means nothing in regards to quality.  Post first,  say your recordings are great,  provide samples are some.  None of it says anything about sound quality.  Just like McDonalds, they advertise and fluff their products incessantly but if you want a real good burger, do you go to McDonalds?  I don't and I don't bother with internal mic recordings either unless there was a real reason to bother with them.

I've been following this thread on and off for amusement value.  And it has been amusing....

My $0.02:
I've posted mediocre recordings (yes even with Schoeps when I wasn't in a good spot and/or had noisy neighbors) and people have fallen over themselves with the superlatives.  So download count means nothing.  Many (most?) downloaders have no clue about gear, they're just happy to have a listenable recording. 

But: if I were in that not-so-good spot with noisy neighbors running both Schoeps and internals, while the high end external mics might yield a so-so recording the internals will *always* be worse, by a significant margin.
Mics: Schoeps MK4, DPA 4061, AT953, Shure MV88
Preamps/BB: Nbox, tinybox, ST-9100, CA-UGLY, SP-SPSB-10
Recorders: In use--Teenage Engineering TX6, Tascam DR-2d, Sony PCM-A10, Zoom L-20R; collecting dust--Sony M10, Ediirol R-09, Zoom H4n, Zoom H6, Cymatic LR16
Video: In use--Panasonic VX981, Panasonic ZS100, GoPro Hero 10/11; collecting dust--Sony HDR-CX520V, Sony HX9V, Panasonic ZS3/ZS7

^^^ Isn't it a fun thread? LOLOLOL, totally entertaining! ^^^

Hey for the sake of fun and games, check this set out and see what ya'll think.  It's a WeTransfer link and expires 9/23.  I'm not tying to test anyone, the anal report is included...there are no modifications to sound, all I did was individually bring down a few spikes and then bring each channel up...no compressing or normalizing.  I consider it a "good" recording.

Well bringing down a few spikes and bringing each channel up is normalizing :) But this sounds great. For something not made with magic Tascam mics I mean.

hahahaha!!  Admittedly, I don't know the difference from what I do compared to normalizing, I essentially do this at about 1/1000th second at a time.  I don't use the dropdown option.  What exactly does that option do when normalizing?
Thank you, I can be hard on myself when it comes to my own recordings.
Normal: Nakamichi CM-700's >> SD 744T (or) Sony PCM-M10
Normal: Crown CM-700's >> SD 302 >> SD 744T
Fun times: 3 Crown CM-700's >> SD 302 >> SD744T + 2 Nakamichi CM-700's >> SD744T
Stealth: CA-14c >> CA 9200 >> Edirol R-09HR
Ultra stealth: AudioReality >> AudioReality battery box >> Edirol R-09HR
Simple & Sweet!

^^^ Isn't it a fun thread? LOLOLOL, totally entertaining! ^^^

Hey for the sake of fun and games, check this set out and see what ya'll think.  It's a WeTransfer link and expires 9/23.  I'm not tying to test anyone, the anal report is included...there are no modifications to sound, all I did was individually bring down a few spikes and then bring each channel up...no compressing or normalizing.  I consider it a "good" recording.

Well bringing down a few spikes and bringing each channel up is normalizing :) But this sounds great. For something not made with magic Tascam mics I mean.

There are actually two different "normalizations" at play in DAWs, peak normalization (which just amplifies everything equally until any peak reaches 0 or whatever ceiling below 0 you've selected), and RMS or loudness normalization (which amplifies until your RMS or "average" level reaches a specified target, and automatically limits the peaks in order to achieve that). So hand-editing spikes would be like RMS normalization. You're just making the decision for each spike or transient on whether to limit (based on whether it's music or applause) rather than setting a target number.

Well this thread sure has been fun!

Going to see Black Joe Lewis on Saturday. The sweet spot in the venue is at the soundboard, possibly behind it. I will determine that when I arrive. I plan to run two rigs for at least one set to get a comparison.

Schoeps MK41 > PFA > DR60d

Tascam DR2d internal mics screwed into the Tbar between the MK41s.

Same location so only real variables are that the DR2d internals are cardioid vs the Schoeps are hypercardioid.

I can guess which one I'm going to like better but I'm a little biased towards the sound of externally polarized  powered condenser microphones.
Line Audio CM3/OM1 || MBHO KA500 hyper>PFA|| ADK A51 type IV || AKG C522XY
Oade Warm Mod and Presence+ Mod UA5s || Aerco MP2(needs help) || Neve Portico 5012 || Apogee MMP
SD Mixpre6 || Oade Concert Mod DR100mkii

pocket sized - CA11 cards > SP SB10 > Sony PCM A10
