DON'T FORGET THE ONLINE HANG, THIS SATURDAY APRIL 3, 1pm East Coast, USA Time

To watch, tune in here.

The next "traditional" vibe hang is April 3 from 12-2 East Coast USA time.

I would LOVE to get more people involved. If we have to go longer than 2, then fine. You guys are posting videos and audios, so I know some of you can try this. You can use a web cam on your computer if you want. That will work ok with your computer mic.

In fact I have a bigger plan in mind… to have a whole day online music performance with vibes players from all over the world!!

Which of these microphones would you recommend and why?

1. Rodes NT5
2. AMT 404

Can anyone tell me what distinguishes one from the other?
I think they both come in matched pairs.
They are both polar cardiod condensor mics with near equivalent SPL level, THD, and sensitivty.
The frequency response from the Rode does go to 20hz. But for vibes this just means undesirable rumble.

The AMT costs $239 per pair I think. (Tony: There is no unit of measure at the store)
The Rode is around $450.

Has anyone done a sound comparison?

I got this from Face Book through Andrew Nittoli...

Just thought some of you might like to comment on it... Ouch!...
