We tried out some new kick drum mics this week. We tested the Shure Beta 91 and the Audio Technica AE2500DE. The AT mic is a dual element mic, so more engineering would have to take place. It takes up two channels, and it has quite a bit of hype driving it in the audio world right now. One element picks up the "whoomf" of the kick, the other element (dynamic) picks up the attack of the beater. They are in perfect phase with each other, and, in theory, shouldn't need that much work to get the right sound.We placed…

that they're concerned because in 2010 they're going to shut down the space shuttle program, and won't have the new program up until 2015, so they'll have to rely on Russian technology to get supplies and personnel to the space station. The new program, they say, will be able to take us to the moon. Seriously, you have to ask yourself why they're going to shut our program down in order to build a vehicle that will take us to the moon. I thought we already went there?

. . . that they could get the audio right. Ok - so after the opening credits, we're going live with Ryan's mic. Standby, and Go. Go. Yes, now. Go now.
