"Doc, I cut down a bit on my forum visits and it seemed like the classical guys were taking over at the AG Mag forum. Do you ever visit the AGF (former Unofficial Taylor Forum)? Fran"

Aloha `Ia No `O Maui - Slack Key on Acalanes Ridge

"This is great. Have missed your music on the AG Reader's forum that is dead as of March 15. I'm gonna try hanging out at the SoundHole Cafe. Both them and this site are blocked at work, which will really curtail my participation. This clip…"

Fran Guidry replied to Gary Clements's discussion Need Help with the Basics in the group Home Recording
"Michael, perhaps you're not familiar with the peculiar little beast that is the Zoom Q3HD. It's one of the very few video recorders that feature an emphasis on audio quality. On the other hand, plugging a mic or mixer into the audio input…"

Ledward is quite the gym rat and enjoys a brisk walk around the neighborhood as well. I've been showing him some of my favorite trails, and he came up with t...

"I've done a fair amount of posting about the Q3HD at Homebrewed Music. http://www.homebrewedmusic.com As you note, with acoustic guitar the usual framing distance for video puts the camera in a pretty weak location for audio. I've used…"

Fran Guidry commented on Paul Prusha's group Portable Recorders
"I've been experimenting with vocals lately, in the past most of my recording has been exclusively instrumental but I'm branching out a bit. I'm a Pretty BaD PoPPer so that's something I'm addressing. I've found that…"

"Phil, I'm trying to get a sense of what you find unsatisfactory about the result. Noisy? Shrill? Dull? What are the mics specifically? Fran"

Fran Guidry commented on Paul Prusha's group Portable Recorders
"Phil, what is the issue with your small diaphragm condenser? What don't you like about it? The common "wisdon" about the difference between large D and small D mics is mostly garbage. There are LD mics with flat response and SD mics…"

Fran Guidry commented on Paul Prusha's group Portable Recorders

Fran Guidry replied to Bill Sovitsky's discussion Zoom Q3HD for Acoustic Recording for YouTube in the group Portable Recorders
"Vladimir, I hope you've seen one of the later blog posts that offer a pretty streamlined workflow with the Q3HD. The free Audacity editor, with the addition of the free FFmpeg video libraries, make its possible to process the audio in the .MOV…"
