He did not say you could sing well. He just said you can sing.
I sing every song in our repituar.
But the boys wont let me near the mic !!!

LMAO if you can talk, you can moan.

sanshouheil

You are probably right.

However, when will you be putting up some of your music on your site?

If you have been told that you record better at live performances, have you recorded any such event but using pressure zone mics as a supplement to your normal 'studio' set up?

Capt. Scott, you should know as you appear to be the master of 'moan'.

Last I checked I had about six songs on my site. More on our myspace and on our official site. www.noisykungfu.com
All are amiture recordings. Most just practice cuts.
We have plans to make it in studio starting in January 2010.
I have no idea what a "pressure zone mic" is. But I will do some research.
We have only been recorded live once. That was in a Church we played a few years ago. Much has changed since then.
Thanks for the inquire Doc.

Geeze, you'd think a PHD would have thicker skin than you do.. lol

Yeah and I like to moan, just read further, there's plenty to go around.

Sansouheil,
Thanks for your reply.

A PZM is a type of microphone which works as a piezio electric device. All microphones work on air pressure but, as a conventional mic, basically, uses the forces due to air pressure to move a diaphragm which in turn influences an electro magnet to transmit electrical impulses (just the opposite to a speaker), the piezio device uses a material which creates its own electricity when under fluctuating air pressure. The PZM works very similar to a barometer (only much faster). Using these types of mics, say two or four positioned on the perimeter of the stage, will capture full stage sounds that will be much nearer to what the audience actually hears. Then, when it comes to mixing/editing, you have a very helpful friend.

The above was only a simple introduction but I do hope that it has helped.

Thanks David:

Your descripion was more than adaquate. It does bear some more research on my part. Thanks for the heads up.
I believe the main reason we sound better live is #1 the energy of a live show. #2 Our home recordings are just that. For the most part recorded right off the monitor mix of the PA, and intended to be just "study tools" for the band.
The PMZ option for capturing some of our live material sounds intiguing.
Again.

Thanks

Sansouheil,

Thanks for you reply, I did not mention that sometimes in the USA these types of mics are referred to as 'Boundary Microphones' for the reasons I explained earlier.

Again, hope this helps.
Regards,
David

Hell yea!
It's only TMI if it,s like your mom or something talking about sex.
LOL

Capt. Scott,
Please do me a favour and look for similarities in posts you comment on. Don’t look from a negative angle. Most of the people posting here have a dream and an ambition which they believe in and are trying to achieve. You must accept that and be more understanding before you make more derogatory comments.

Kind Regards,
Dr. David M. Bennett

Sansouheil,

Sorry, I did not understand your reply.

If you want help and possible tours in Europe please express your comments clearly.

Too Much Information (TMI) is never enough.

Regards,
Dr. David M. Bennett

LOL

Well it's kinda redneck Texan way of saying thanks for the additional info.

Tours of Europe ehh ??

Sounds like fun......cept being jailed for going heeled.
That I fear could be a real drag.
We're a local band with a local mission. Somehow I think our particular style would not go over real well with continental types.
But who knows ???

Thanks for the offer and info though.
Stay tuned, only God knows what we'll be doing a year from now.

Sansouheil,

Thanks, but I think that you may be wrong on some parts and areas of your prospective audience.

I often travel to NM from the UK via Houston-El Paso (over night stay) then I10 (hire car ) to Deming NM.

I would like to hear you live and, to that end, I will inform you of my next visit.

Please remember that we can give you radio air time on two major stations.
