Two wonderfully talented and accomplished electronic musicians will be performing this Sunday at the Feedback Concert Series. Each performer will also have...
Hey Kidz, Well, as you may already know, we’ve had a lot going on lately. So here we go …. Our favorite free-jazz stars Rollerball are just back from...
Hi, I`m working on a instrument/machine with a pyrophone that records it own sound into a tapeloop. I`m struggling a bit with the microphones. I`ve used small...
That sounds like fun! Firstly I would consider wrapping the mic capsule and lead in a heat-proof membrane. The thinner the better so that the sound gets...
How about using a tube made of something that doesn't melt or burn? Stick the mic in one end and point the other end near the sound source. Maybe surgical...
air is a great insulator, so Chi's idea of a sheet or two of oven- safe plastic ought to work; not wrapped around the mic, mind you, but stretched as a...
for something like that, i'd think omnidirectional mics placed at a safe distance would be best. i think fire proofing a mic would probably make it sound proof...
I am working on something that needs a random playback of 10 to 50 short spoken phrases that last about 15 sec. each. It needs to be smaller than a baseball (...
How about a minidisc player on shuffle, with the phrases pre-recorded onto disc? Or perhaps you could use a small FM transmitter (available through kit ...
Thanks for that thought. The mini disk player may work although a bit heavy. here is the "WHY" of what I am doing. I am a jeweler as well as a musician/sound...
Well, you don't mention budget or sample rate, and I don't know how big a baseball is, but Parallax have a few audio boards that would fit the bill and would ...

Is there any possibility of using the same sort of technology in those old "pull and play" things that tell kids sounds of animals, or words for each alphabet...
I have pulled one of those pull and plays apart and yikes what an incredible pain that is, if your real careful and lucky you dont end up with a big mess of...
I was thinking that, as a jeweler, he might be able to MAKE something like this... not re-use one. It's far larger than a baseball, as I remember. But I have...
Thanks Chris. I think Basic Stamp is a bit over my head and maybe more than what I am hoping to get into myself. I would be open to hire a person with the...
I am sure this has been a topic at oddmusic in the past but there was some interest in it from my earlier post. Here is a link to get you started. There is...
... Thanks for the great link David, I hope you get the mechanical or electronic device you need for your project. BTW I'm not sure I can see the use of...
Hi guys, and thanks a lot for suggestions. Since the instrument is under exhibit now, I just put the headphoneplug in the bottomopening of the tube. This seem...
so you built the whole tape loop device? can you supply any more construction details? -et- ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Hi, The tapeecho is made like this: I use one small cassetteplayer set to constant recordmode. The echo is played back from a walkman, or several walkmans. It...
I`ve put a photo to the album here now. The soundheads from the cassetteplayers are taken out and mounted on a metal-stand. Atle ... bottomopening ... try ... ...
... This is really great info. i have been knocking my head against a wall trying to figure out how to make a cheap tape echo from walkmen. my main problem is...
Yeah, I truly would like to see this information as well. I've tried at various times to even make human-powered tape echos, with rollers and all sorts of...
... more ... piece. ... devices, as the strategies would remain fixed unless you can shuffle the little chips? :) Here is a low-tech thought: How about...
Hi again! You havent lost any info, the photo is in the groupalbum here, but thats more aesthetical than technical. The photo is called tapeecersize I. I will...
Sorry, if you are interested in tape-echo, but not pyrophones you might have lost something in the pyrophone and microphone correnspodance. Ergo, I just...
Hey, I have a problem with a couple rackmount units. One went out about 5 years ago & I never got it fixed & one pretty recently. One unit is a Midiverb 2,...
It may be frustrating to hear, especially when you're asking for detailed advice... but this does sound like it could be a dopey problem like having it hooked...
it looks like a nice system. it's good for me to see that you have had success with this, i had thought someone must have done it. what you were saying about...
