Does anybody know of a good microphone?

I have had a microphone for quite some time, but I want to upgrade. I play the saxophone, but a microphone that records well "all over" is what I'm looking for.
Any suggestions ?

Realistically, you'd be better of splitting your budget into 2 and buying 2 different mics. One mic simply will not cover all of your needs.
My suggestions:
Shure SM57: Works great on a lot of sources, including horns.
Studio Projects C1: It's a budget large diaphram condensor mic that'll be better for vocals, acoustic instruments and even as a room mic for your horns. Just be sure you have phantom power (48V) on your digital interface.

  • Does anybody know of a good flash book?

    Hello, I'm very new to flash, and wanted to know if any of
    you knew of a good tutorial/referance book for FLASH CS4 that I
    could use to help teach myself flash.
    Thanks!

    Mumasatus,

    Flash is one of the most versatile tools I know. You can use
    Flash for
    everything from TV cartoons (no programming at all), to
    custom slideshows,
    banners, and other Web eye candy (perhaps some programming),
    to games, music
    players, video players, and applications (potentially heavy
    programming).
    This means you can focus on quite a variety of disciplines,
    so for
    anyone to recommend a book, it will probably help to hear
    more about the
    projects you're interested in pursuing. There are books
    specifically on
    animation (cartoon or otherwise), on illustration, on making
    applications,
    on demoing (faking) applications, on programming in general,
    and even on
    extending the capabilities of the authoring tool.
    If you're interested in a good general-purpose reference --
    something to
    give you a broad sense of the basics -- I'll go ahead and
    mention the
    friends of ED title I just co-authored with my buddy Tom
    Green (not *that*
    Tom Green, the other one). It's called "Foundation Flash CS4
    for
    Designers," and this new edition is nearly 700 pages. We
    cover the work
    space, the various drawing tools, text, audio, video, two
    chapters on
    animation, CSS, XML, the UI components, and more.
    http://www.FoundationFlashCS4.com/
    There's also a CS3 version, if you're using CS3:
    http://www.FoundationFlashCS3.com/
    Both of those websites link to the publisher, where you can
    read sample
    chapters, and Amazon.com sells both for around $25 apiece,
    which is pretty
    cheap. There aren't any reviews yet for the CS4 edition, but
    the reviews
    for our CS3 book are generally really good.

  • I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them?  Can I back those up to iCloud?  My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)

    "I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them?  Can I back those up to iCloud?  My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)"
    That was all I could put in the initial "box."  Then it brought me to this page with instructions on how to write a good sentence.
    Proceeding ...
    After going back and forth between Apple, AT&T and the police (all telling me to go to the other two) I took AT&Ts suggestion and got a new number. One tech warned against doing a backup, especially on my Mac, saying if my phone had been hacked then whatever bug was there would then invade my computer. But nobody knows how to determine if the phone has been hacked or a virus was planted there. Unfortunately I know who would have reason to do such a thing and all I can say is that he is at the top technologically and could easily do it. Almost impossible to prove, however.
    So I need to preserve my text messages and my emails as well. I backed up my photos to that Microsoft product (One-Drive) and it froze (Surprise, Surprise) with four short videos to go, and no way of stopping that (when I tried it crashed repeatedly) so I'm in crisis mode here.
    Help ...

    Thanks!

    Betty I don't know if you fixed your hacking problem but I feel your pain. I've seen some strange things going on between my iMac and my iPhone and Apple has told me the same thing, call the police which I have done. The hackers have stole 500.00 out of my checking account have access to every internet account I use and no matter how often I change the password their right back on the account. I closed my FB account 3 times only to have someone reopen it. Right now I've got a link in my reading list (Safari) that if I click on it, it allows me to log onto my FB account anonymously.
    I've seen a green folder come out of no where while I was trying to delete my passwords out of keychain when that green folder was put into the key chain I was immediately locked out. I than went into system preferences to try to make changes to my security settings, when I clicked on the icon it wouldn't open. I've seen log files of automator receiving commands and sending out my personal information thats on my computer.
    I have a legitamate program called iExplorer that allows you to look at the contents of your iPhone back ups and saw a transaction someone made at the Apple store for some full length movies, some albums, ibooks and other apps but when I called the iTunes store and they said none of those items were showing up on my account. If their not on my account how can they be on my iPhone 6? One day someone was using my gmail account and unknowingly used google maps to search for an Italian restaurant, than a Mexican restaurant than a coffee shop and their search showed up on my iPhone but I didn't have my gmail account installed on my iPhone 6. Using my computer I logged onto my gmail account and looked at the maps history and sure enough there were the searches when I'd hover my curser over the link it gave me the longitude and latitude of the where the hacker was when he was using google maps. I know whoever reads this thinks Im crazy but I've documented everything and can prove the things that I have mentioned in this post actually happened.
    One day I had my laptop (pc) and my iMac next to each other as I was using both. when I clicked on airport it showed that my laptop and my iMac had made a connection and were actually communicating with each other. I know I didn't do it I don't know how. The iMac was logged into my iCloud account while my laptop wasn't. I have formatted my iPhone at least a dozen times, Apple and an Apple retailer have formatted my hard drive not to mention the numerous times I have formatted it but the hackers keep getting on my devices. Im formatting my lap top at this very second because during the course of the night I left the ethernet cable plugged into it and they locked me out of my c: drive, and configured the system so I can't download any updates from Microsoft, overtime I type in www.microsoft.com it changes to ww38.microsoft.com which takes me to a blank page. I right clicked on the page I was redirected to and read the java script and couldn't believe that someone had actually configured Internet Explorer to redirect me to a blank page when I tried to go to Microsoft. Apples answer to all this is there was nothing wrong with my iPhone or my iMac and if I thought there was a problem to call the police which I have done.
    Theres no doubt the hackers are reading this while I type it or will read it and I simply don't care anymore. I no longer email anyone, don't use my iCloud account and have taken precautions to protect my credit but if I ever find out who has invaded my privacy to this extreme the police are going to want to talk to me because Im going to hurt them like they've never been hurt before

    I need to use Flash and illustratore, but apparently those programmes are incompatible with the new operative sistem...
    I am a new mac users and I'd like to know if there are other similar programmes I can use with lion!

(see FCP X)..
    good luck with apple dude..
    Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
    And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
    <The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
    Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

  • Does anybody know of a way to get PSX Emulator for iPhone 4s w/ out jailbreak?

    Does anybody know of a way to get PSX Emulator for iPhone 4s (iOS 7) w/ out jailbreak? Im trying to relive my childhood on my phone. I have the gameboy emulator and i know the date and time rule. I was just wondering if anybody knew a good place to get a psx emulator without having to jailbreak my device.
    Also, does anybody on the off chance know a record-your-screen program for iOS 7 without a jailbreak? That would be much appreciated.
    Thank you in advanced,
    PMC~

    I think that the psx emulator is actually in the retroarch emulator.
    Haven't tested it as of yet, because the download link isn't working.
    I'm using the GBA emulator at the moment too but I'm pretty bored of it, I wanted to play final fantasy :(

  • Does anybody know how Oracle load large N-Triple file into Oracle 11g R1?

    Does anybody know how Oracle load large N-Triple(NT) file into Oracle 11g R1 by using sql*loader according to their benchmark results?
    Their benchmark results indicate they have over come the large data set problem.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/semantic_technologies/htdocs/performance.html
    It means they have loaded LUBM 8000(1.068 Billion+ Triples) into Oracle successfully, but there is no detailed steps provided. For instance, 32-bit or 64-bit platform they used, only one NT file being used corresponding to one dataset or several NT files?
    Is there any exception occured during the loading process if the NT file beyond 60GB? When using jena to generate NT file against LUBM(8000), the size of the NT file would definitely beyond 60GB.
    We are dividing such large NT file into several small ones? Is it a good approach? I'm hesitating to do so!

    A Linux 32-bit platform was used for bulk-load of LUBM-8000 1.106 billion (before duplicate elimination) RDF triples into Oracle.
    Multiple gzipped N-Triple files were used to hold the LUBM-8000 data. zcat was used on all these files together to send the complete data into a named pipe. SQL*Loader used this named pipe as the input data file to load the data into a staging table in Oracle. Once the staging table was loaded, the sem_apis.bulk_load_from_staging_table API was used to load the data into Oracle Semantic Store.
    (Additional details in http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/semantic_technologies/htdocs/performance.html )

  • Does anybody know whatthis means ????

    Does anybody know why my Pantone f&h 3.0 disc will not work on my imac anymore .
    I have an error message saying:- You can't open PANTONE f&h 3.0 becuse PowerPc applications are no longer supported???
    Why... what does it mean and what do I need to do to get it working again???.
    I am a freelance designer who uses pantone colour for deisn purposes in Photoshop and Illustrator CS6.
    Any suggestions!!! as I do not have a clue what to do. Thanks xxx

    This is a CD that has been coded for use with much older Macs when they used IBM PowerPC CPUs.
    This disk probably worked when you were still using OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard as SL had a PowerPC code emulator
    called Rosetta that still allowed older PowerPC software to still function with an Intel CPU based Mac running that version of OS X.
    Apple finally ended support for older PowerPC code and application support by discontung the Rosetta emulation software from OS X 10.7 Lion and up!
    You will need to contact Pantone or check the Pantone website to see if they have newer, updated  discs or downloads available to use on your version of OS X 10.7.5 Lion.
    Good Luck!

    OK, thanks
    but EULA ?? what does it stand for? I am pretty new to all this so good to learn something.
    ps. backgroud of my request is, that I purchased LR in a box in 2013. The computer where this is on, is at the end of its life and I have no LR box with License or any reference nr's anymore.
    Copied to my new Laptop, which maybe is not allowed if I understand you correct, it didn't work.
    Pitty, because afterall it is still my legally relatively recent purchased LR version.
    I thought to overcome this problem in future by putting it on my NAS. Safe for many years to come.
    again any knowlegeable feedback is welcome to me.

  • Does anybody know the app cleaner

    does anybody know the app cleaner???
    is it good?? my macbook is getting very slow

    I doubt that AppCleaner is going to speed up your Mac - unless you're short on hard drive space. Some companies have uninstall instructions or even apps on their websites for uninstalling their software. Use these instructions/apps if at all possible.
    I've used AppCleaner a couple of times just to get rid of as much auxiliary junk as I can... but my use of it is limited only to those apps which I know haven't made any system modifications.
    Be warned - without instructions/apps for uninstalling is the best method of uninstalling applications. Use AppCleaner only as a last resort.
    See thomas_r's -> How to uninstall software.
    Good luck,

    Welcome to the forum. I think that George123 has your problem and its solution well in hand. Follow his good advice and you will have solved this problem. One other thing though just for future reference. If you post your code, here, you are going to want someone to be able to read it easily. Please use code tags when posting next time and your code will be much easier on the eye. You can find out about them here:

  • Page numbers displayed incorrectly in TOC in new Pages - does anybody know how to fix this?

    I'm working on a multi-section document with a single TOC for two sections. Section one uses lowercase roman numerals (i, ii,...) and section two arabic numerals (1, 2, ...). The page numbers are displayed correctly on the pages themselves, but in the TOC the first two headings from section two (pages 1 und 3) are displayed as "i" and "iii". This only started after the update to pages 5, everything was fine before that. Does anybody know how to fix this? I already tried deleting the TOC and inserting a new one and changing the numbers to uppercase letters and back, to no avail.
    thanks for any input

    Go back to Pages '09 inside the iWork Folder inside Applications.
    There are so many problems with Pages 5 it is difficult to know where to begin.

    -it gets stuck between things, the rainbow wheel appears and its just delays there forever....

    Does anybody know what that means? HELP!

    WZZZ answered about where to get iStat. And do check the SMART status. If it is an overheating problem due to a fan or logic board problem, your hard drive is possibly cooking itself to death. If so it isn't a faulty hard drive even though the hard drive might fail. So assuming it's a temperature problem, even if you are able to repair things on the disk with software, that is working on symptoms, not causes. I could be wrong however.
    RE: AppleCare: Your iMac came with one year of AppleCare (Apple's warranty program), but within the first year you can buy 2 more years. You have to extend by the one year anniversary of purchase of the computer. Your 10,1 is too old to still be in the first year, and since you asked what it was, I'm sure you don't have it. Bottom line meaning is that whatever this problem turns out to be, you'll have to pay for it. Unless there is something like this. It is for 2011 iMacs with certain Seagate drives. You can put in your serial number for fun, but it looks like yours is too old. Lastly, some people have had Apple help them anyway if it is just out of warranty, but many have not. Your machine is one of these. Type in 10,1 in the search box. Is there an Apple Store near you? Just b/c it's out of warranty doesn't mean you shouldn't have it looked at by Apple. But no one here can say at all what Apple will or will not do.
    Hope you get it taken care of!
