I was very happy with the way this case turned out and fit in with my entertainment system. The AMD CPU runs VERY cool on the stock heatsink/fan combo (mid teens C idle, low 30's C heavy load) and is plenty fast for now so I'll keep it stock. The ATI Radeon HD 3200 video helps a lot with H264 hardware acceleration to handle those 1080p videos.

One of the things that has frustrated me to no end as those who read this blog know is the horrible trouble I've had with all of my external USB drives that hold my digital media collection. It really doesn't matter who manufactures the drives, Seagate, Maxtor, Cobra, LaCie (well LaCie is actually the worst of them all), I've had trouble with all of them. Drives fail, drives aren't recognized, and perhaps most frustrating of all is an inability to do large batch copy jobs for backup purposes (in case you're reading this RIAA) of my mp3 library. I quite literally cannot back up a 250 gig drive by copying all of the files from one USB drive to another without getting Windows Explorer's dreaded O/I Device Error. And I am not alone in having these problems. A Microsoft manager that I spoke with this weekend said he experiences the exact same thing and a Seagate rep that I spoke with today also said he has similar copy error problems when trying to do large batch copy jobs.
The conspiracy theorist in me of course believes that like the Sony root kit, the RIAA has placed hidden tripwire features in my library when I've ripped CDs in the past designed to prevent large copy jobs of music files. Of course I don't really believe this but it is quite frustrating nonetheless.
Ed Bott in the past has suggested that my problems perhaps are related to the whole concept of trying to move that much digital data around on USB drives. Ed has suggested that were I to use SATA drives that my experience could be better. Well I may soon have the opportunity to find out. One of the products that I was very excited to see at CES this year was the Seagate 500 GB SATA external drive. The drive boasts speeds five times faster than normal external hard drives and I'm cautiously optimistic that my backup problems will go away when I try out these new drives.
The Seagate rep that I spoke with was not aware of the price of the drive but said that they were available on a very limited basis but that Seagate hopes to manufacture more and that the product would be more widely available in the coming months. He thought that it might be priced somewhere around $500. I could not find one for sale online today. The drive also ships with a SATA card that you can install in your PC in case you don't already have a SATA connection. The drives will work for both the PC and the Mac and have Seagate's push button back up feature (although I've never gotten push button backups to ever work with either Maxtor or Seagate products).
I'm really hoping that a SATA drive might once and for all fix my copy problems. Of course if these work out I'm not quite sure what to do with my 8 USB drives that I currently own -- but I'm sure I'll figure something out. As they say in Narnia, share the magic.

Had a bit of fun shooting into the sun and grabbing a portrait of my good friend and colleague Nick from Luminex Photography.
Shot with the Hasselblad H3D-39 @ 80mm, iso50, 500th, f22. Tethered to MacBook Pro using firewire 800 and triggered using iPhone Phocus remote app.
Strobist: Bowens 500 with beauty dish from about 5 feet at almost max power. Lastolite trigrip reflector below arms bouncing flash up and under camera. PocketWizard Plus II triggers.
You'll need a big screen to view this shot at original size but it does demonstrate the awesome capture ability of even this older model Hasselblad.
I wanted to know what the motherboard of a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 audio interface would look like. I also wanted to know what chips were involved in its audio magic. I couldn't find any pics online, so I took my own.
Chips involved:
DICE TCD2220 FireWire chip with JET PLL clock
Spansion 16Megabit (2 Megabyte) flash ram, 55ns latency
Texas Instruments TSA41B2 Firewire arbiter chip
Lots of JRC (New Japan Radio Corp.) operational amplifier chips
Lots of NXP (Philips Corp.) HEF4053BT Triple single-pole double-throw analog switch
The Focusrite is exceptionally flexible with its signal routing capabilities. I should have looked more at the capacitors, of which there are many.
The build quality of the chassis is good, though the actual alignment of many of the motherboard parts (eg. capacitors) was somewhat poor. Many of them were soldered on at a tilt. Oh well. It works great!
Latest pic of the studio. Finally got a keyboard stand that fits perfectly, except now I realize I need a larger mixer and a MIDI interface with more ports.. :P
The external iSight's ¼-inch colour CCD sensor has 640×480-pixel VGA resolution, with a custom-designed three-part F/2.8 lens with two aspherical elements. It features autoexposure, autofocusing from 50 mm to infinity, and video capture at 30 frames per second in 24-bit colour with a variety of shutter speeds. However, the iSight has an image delay of approximately 120 ms.

On top of it is the base for my Logitech MX1000 Laser Cordless Mouse. Off to the right is my IOGEAR USB/Firewire Hub.
The (d)evolution of the DJ. I've been doing my radio show in more or less exactly this spot since the fall of 2000. When I first started, there wasn't room for a DJ mixer between the turntables. For the first couple years, I played vinyl on these decks, one of which has been replaced since then. From 2003 until fall of 2008, I played CDs. At first I used crappy CDJs and several lousy mixers. In the spring of 2005, I built the "Borg Cube" and used that early 2008, when one side of the dual CDJ unit stopped working (I still need to get that fixed.) Ca. 2007 DJ setup visible here. In fall of '08 I began using my shiny new MacBook as a DJ station. At first I used the "DJ 1800" application, but I found it to be more trouble than it was worth. Late in the year I switched to Traktor, which has a bit of a learning curve, but I'm pretty used to now. I bought an M-Audio Audiophile Firewire interface off eBay, but sadly it doesn't work. I'm looking into other options now.

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Introducing the 17-inch MacBook Pro. The state-of-the-art quad-core Intel i7 processor delivers up to 2x faster performance (over the previous generation of MacBook Pro). New Thunderbolt technology lets you connect high-performance peripherals and high-resolution displays to a single port, and transfer files at lightning speeds. And with the built-in FaceTime HD camera, you can make astonishingly crisp HD video calls.
The 17-inch unibody MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt technology (see larger image).With the revolutionary Thunderbolt technology, you'll be able to achieve bi-directional channels with transfer speeds to peripherals like external hard drives and servers up to an amazing 10 Gbps--while also connecting to a DisplayPort-compatible high-resolution display.
As with previous models, the MacBook Pro features a precision unibody enclosure crafted from a single block of aluminum, creating a thin and light mobile computing workhorse (less than 1 inch thin and just 6.6 pounds) that's also highly durable. It includes a 17-inch, LED-backlit glass display as well as a glass trackpad that doesn't include a button (for larger tracking area) that features Apple's Multi-Touch technology. And it comes standard with automatic graphics switching that provides performance when you need it and energy efficiency when you don't. You'll also get up to 7 hours of battery life while on the go.
This version of the 17-inch MacBook Pro (model MD311LL/A) features a second-generation 2.4 GHz Core i7 quad-core processor, 750 GB hard drive, and 4 GB of installed RAM. Other features include ultra-fast Wireless-N Wi-Fi networking, Bluetooth connectivity, an ExpressCard/34 slot, three USB 2.0 ports, and a FireWire 800 port (see full specifications below).
FaceTime HD camera built into the bezel for crisp, widescreen video chats (see larger image).
The backlit keyboard--great for typing in low-light settings (see larger image).Key Features
Revolutionary Thunderbolt Technology
Developed by Intel with collaboration from Apple, high-speed Thunderbolt I/O (input/output) technology delivers an amazing 10 gigabits per second of transfer speeds in both directions. Built into the MacBook Pro, the Thunderbolt port allows you to connect to new Thunderbolt-compatible peripherals as well as existing USB and FireWire peripherals using simple adapters. You'll be able to move data up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and more than 12 times faster than with FireWire 800, and you can daisy-chain multiple high-speed devices without using a hub.
And because Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology, you'll be able to connect to a high-resolution display from the same port. Any Mini DisplayPort display plugs right into the Thunderbolt port, and you can also connect displays that use DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, or VGA connections with an existing adapter. You'll also be able to include your display into a daisy-chained set of peripherals.
Next-Generation Quad-Core Intel Processor
This MacBook Pro is powered by a second-generation Intel Core i7 quad-core processor, which provides breakthrough digital media management, content creation, and 3D gaming capabilities. With updated Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, the latest Core i7 increases speed automatically for whatever you're doing, dynamically accelerating performance to match your workload.
Intel's Hyper-Threading Technology enables each core of your processor to work on two tasks at the same time, delivering the performance you need for smart multitasking. And you'll enjoy a rich set of new features for a stunning and seamless visual experience with no additional hardware. The Core i7 processor also provides faster access to the installed RAM, with an integrated memory controller to connect fast 1333 MHz memory directly to the processor.
With new microarchitecture, the graphics processor resides on the same chip as the central processor and has direct access to the 6 MB of shared L3 cache--helping your applications run at peak performance. And an integrated video encoder enables HD video calls with FaceTime, while an efficient decoder gives you long battery life when you're watching DVDs or iTunes movies.
Automatic Graphics Switching
The MacBook Pro offers excellent graphics flexibility with two video processors--the discrete AMD Radeon HD 6770M processor (with 1 GB of GDDR5 video memory) for heavier workloads and an integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor for better battery life on the go. When gaming or using processor-intensive applications like Aperture or Final Cut Pro, you'll appreciate the power of the AMD Radeon HD 6770M, which lets you see more frames per second and experience better responsiveness. And the automatic graphics switching feature determines which graphics processor an application needs and switches instantly between the processors.
Buttonless Multi-Touch Trackpad
With no button on the glass trackpad, there's more room to track and click--left, right, center, and everywhere in between. Without a separate button, the trackpad gives your hands plenty of room to move on the large, silky glass surface. It also incorporates Multi-Touch gestures--including swipe, pinch, rotate, and four-finger swipe. And it also now supports inertial scrolling, an intuitive way to scroll through large photo libraries, lengthy documents and long web sites.

Need to Reset PMU? The iMac was a dramatic departure from mainstream computer design. The design of the first generation of the iMac has been credited to Jonathan Ive, currently Vice President of Industrial Design at Apple. It was the first computer to ship with out a floppy drive and was equip exclusively with USB port standard. The slot-loading iMac G3 began shipping in late 1999 with additional DV (Digital Video) designation. This version had FireWire, CD-RW/DVD-ROM, 500 Mhz Processor atop the new "Pangea" motherboard with a 16MB ATI Rage 128 Ultra graphics chip. The 2001 series was available in indigo, graphite, and snow with either the 500, 600, or 700MHz (PPC750CXe) processor.

left to right: ac power, firewire audio (up to 192k/24bit), standard line-out RCA pair.
this uses the new linux 'snd-dice' pseudo sound driver. it sits on top of regular firewire but provides a more 'HD audio' interface that some DACs can understand. I believe you can also send this data over usb2 and even spdif.
this is a pretty nice sounding and feature full DAC. too bad it has a horrible front panel user interface and display.
Crater Archimedes, Autolycus, Aristillus.DMK 21af04 Firewire webcam 800 frames.& 10" SCT telescope
I captured this close-up of the Archimedes, Autolycus, and Aristillus Craters Region! The Red Dot Mark's the location of the USSR's Lunik 2 Spacecraft impact site!
Luna 2, or Lunik 2, was the first man-made object to land on the Moon. When we say "land on", we actually mean "crash into the Moon at a great speed."
Luna 2 was launched from the Bailkonur Cosmodrome's launch pad 1 (also known as Gagarin's Start) at 06:39:42 GMT on 12th September 1959. The Bailkonur Cosmodrome, in Kazakhstan (although in land leased to Russia), is the world's oldest and largest spaceport.
Luna 2 was Russia's sixth attempt to land on the Moon. Its first three attempts all failed to take off. Its fourth attempt, Luna 1, launched in January 1959, actually went to the moon but missed it, flying past it instead. Luna 1 therefore became the first successful flyby mission of the Moon. Another failed launch took place in June 1959, before eventual success with Luna 2.
While it was making its journey, Luna 2 released sodium gas. This gas reacted with radiation from the Sun which made it glow. This made Luna 2 easier to spot and basically turned the spacecraft into a man-made comet.
The mass of Luna 2 was 390 kilograms. Its diameter was just under 1 metre (90 centimetres).
Luna 2 would have been traveling at a speed of 3.3 kilometres a second, or over 7200 miles an hour, when it hit the Moon.
Russia wanted the world to know that they had reached the Moon. They did this by providing the details of Luna 2's trip to Jodrell Bank in Cheshire,
England. At the time, Jodrell Bank was the world's largest radio telescope and just about the only one capable of tracking Luna 2 from Earth to the Moon.
Jodrell Bank began receiving signals from Luna 2 after take-off. When the signals stopped, this was confirmation that Luna 2 had reached the surface of the Moon as the impact would have destroyed the spacecraft. Impact happened at 21:02:24 GMT on 13th September 1959. Several astronomers confirm that at around
the same time, they spotted a flash of light on the Moon's surface.
Amongst Luna 2's scientific findings were that the Moon doesn't possess a magnetic field (or if it does, it is extremely weak) and that there is a flow of plasma coming from the Sun - it's what we now know as the solar wind.
The mass of Luna 2 was 390 kilograms. Its diameter was just under 1 metre (90 centimetres).
No, the spaceraft or the remnants would not be visible from Earth with any telescope on Earth.
Archimedes Crater (Bottom Left) 83km or 51.8 miles wide & 2.1km or 1.3 miles deep. The diameter of Archimedes is the largest of any crater on the Mare Imbrium. Named for Archimedes of Syracuse who was a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer.
Autolycus Crater(bottom right) 39km or 24.4 miles wide & 3.4km or 2.1 miles deep. In Greek mythology, Autolycus was a son of the Olympian god Hermes.
Aristillus Crater(upper right) 55km or 34.4 miles wide & 3.6km or 2.3 miles deep. The crater impact created a ray system that extends outward from the rim for a distance of over 600 kilometers.
inside near center of this crater has a bunch of peaks that are about 1/2 mile high.....Looks like a racked set of Billiard balls, to some the center peaks appears as a heart shape.

Am 8. Juli 2011 ist auf dem Münchner Label out|here das Album "BLNRB - Welcome To The Madhouse" erschienen. Darauf sind 18 Stücke, die allesamt durch Kollaborationen von Künstlern aus Kenia und Berlin entstanden sind. Hierzu gehören u.a. das multikulturelle Star-Trio Jahcoozi, das Breakbeat-Doppel Modeselektor, die selbsternannte Queen of Kenyan Hip Hop Nazizi, das 6-köpfige Ragga-Kollektiv Ukoo Flani, die Elektronik-Boygroup Just A Band, der blinde Gitarrist und Sänger Michel Ongaro sowie die Trommelgruppe Radi.
Die Aufnahmen zum Gemeinschaftsprojekt des Goethe-Instituts Nairobi und der Elektronik-Produzenten und Kuratoren Gebrüder Teichmann begannen im Frühjahr 2010. „Dazu haben wir 2 temporäre Studios in einem Wohnhaus in Nairobi eingerichtet, in dem wir 4 Wochen arbeiteten und wohnten.“ erzählt Hannes der Gebrüder Teichmann.
Als Mischpult und Kernstück der Aufnahmen fungierte je Studio ein Allen&Heath ZED-R16.

mitgenommen.
Zum Abhören nahm man vier kleine Studiomonitore und Audio-Technica Kopfhörer, genauer

- vier ATH-M30

Studiokopfhörer mit.
Hannes Teichmann: „Schnell nach unserer Ankunft in Nairobi waren unsere vier Koffer voll Technik ausgepackt, alles aufgebaut und verkabelt. Die Ecke für die provisorische Gesangskabine wurde mit Noppenschaumstoff gedämmt. Ein vom Goethe-Institut gestellter Generator sowie zwei Notstromaggregaten auf Batteriebasis wurden als Schutz vor der Unberechenbarkeit des kenianischen Stromnetzes aufgestellt.“
Am zweiten Tag begann die Musikproduktion. Modeselektor verbunden hierzu ihren Mac per Firewire in dem ersten Studio mit einem ZED-R16 Mischpult. Jahcoozi und Ukoo Flani richtetem sich mit ihrem PC im zweiten Studio am zweiten ZED-R16 ein.
Das ZED-R16 ermöglichte in jedem Studio 16 Audiokanäle zur Kommunikation mit einem Computer zu nutzen. Man konnte also entweder bis zu 16 Spuren zu einem Computer schicken und aufnehmen oder von einem Computer an das Mischpult zur Mischung und Wiedergabe schicken. Die Fähigkeit zu Mischformen wie z.B. 8 Spuren wiedergeben und 8 Spuren gleichzeitig aufnehmen prädestinierte das ZED-R16 für dieses Projekt mit vielen unterschiedlichen Anforderungen, aber geringem Erfordernis an die Spurenanzahl.
„In den Studios ging der Wechsel der verschiedenen Laptops, Betriebssysteme und Programme dank der Firewire-Schnittstelle und des durchdachten Designs der ZED-R16 Mischer problemlos von statten.“, berichtet Hannes Teichmann. „Ob die Beats wie bei Jahcoozi hauptsächlich im Rechner entstanden oder wie in unserem Studio alle 16 Kanäle mit analogen Klangquellen belegt waren, der Mixer passte.“
Zum Monitoring erzählt Hannes weiter: „Auch das Monitoring und der Kopfhörermix waren dank der praktischen Matrix und Control Room-Sektion des Pultes sehr einfach umzusetzen. Während sich der Produzent mit seinem Kopfhörer in den Phones-Anschluss der Control Room-Sektion einsteckte und so in jeden Kanal reinhören konnte, bot das ZED-R16 für die Musiker zwei zusätzliche Kopfhörerverstärker am Stereo 3 (ST3)- bzw. Stereo 4 (ST4)-Ausgang des Pultes, die mittels der AUX-Wege oder der Hauptsumme beschickt werden konnten.“
Bereits in der zweiten Nacht konnte ein erstes Werk namens >Living Room< vollendet werden. Mit zwei Mikrofonen des Typs ATM710 nahm man hierbei nicht nur zwei Rapper, sondern auch zwei Hunde, die vor dem Fenster im Takt bellten, auf.
„Natürlich war das AT4050 überwiegend als Gesangsmikrofon für die Sänger und Sängerinnen, sowie für akustische Instrumente wie Flöten, akustische Gitarren oder Trommeln im Einsatz.“, erklärt Hannes Teichmann. „Man kann beim ATM710 aber auch schon mal vergessen, dass es ein Handmikrofon ist. Es ist wirklich überragend. Dies liegt sicher daran, dass es ein Kondensatormikrofon ist. Überraschenderweise macht sich dies im Live-Einsatz keineswegs negativ bemerkbar. Es koppelt nicht schneller als die klassischen dynamischen Gesangsmikrofone und es gibt auch keine Rumpler bzw. stärkere Störgeräusche, wenn es in der Hand gehalten wird. Aus diesem Grund haben wir das ATM710 jetzt auch bei jedem Live-Auftritt im Einsatz. Der EQ auf meinen Vocals ist seither immer aus!“
Oren Avinash Gerliz von Jahcoozi sagte über das technische Setup: “Although I used and owned Audio-Technica and Allen&Heath pro audio products before, the audio arsenal we chose for the studios in Nairobi served us far behind my initial expectation.
The mixer proved itself as a very good sounding, multi-purpose and easy to set up tool. I did not stop using it since the Nairobi project, and actually cannot imagine my studio in Berlin without it. With one firewire cable connected, we had basically all we need for our multi-microphone and the big setup of analog synth. Everything was connected at all time for our almost 24 hours creativity and everybody could easily monitor and record each channel with a single click. The other amazing things are the mixing options. As an example we can give the song ‘Nai Dub’ (which is not on the album, but has been chosen for the new Tom Tyker film). I made a basic dub setup on my computer with about 12 channels. Then I sent each of them in a few seconds to a physical channel on the ZED-R16. Then I connected the 2 aux ways on the mixer to 2 inputs on the computer which had delay and reverb, which also was returning on 2 extra channel on the mixer. Then I threw in a bunch of various plug-ins on different channels in my arrangement assigning all their important parameters to the midi section of the ZED¬-R16. I pressed play and continued to a dub session using the mixer alone to play. Opening the delay aux on the delay channel gave me absolute analog control over the feedback up to a massive cloud. Then I opened the mic channel and we started a classic dub session.
The AT4050 proved itself, along side with the pre-amps and convertors of the ZED-R16 as a world class vocal recording chain. All the vocals on the NRBLN ‘welcome to the madhouse’ record were recorded using this chain and the results were great (listen to the album…). Mixing the tunes proved again the vocals well recorded as they sat well in the mix without much fussing around.
A special challenge was recording Radi percussion quartet, which play a variety of African percussions. I had all the microphones from both studios - two AT4050 and four ATM710 – but it was slightly less than the group needed. It demanded creativity in the positioning and moving the mics around between music parts, according to which instrument was leading at a certain time. We used maboomboom drums, lead drums, sengenya drums and soft percussions. I used basically an ATM710 for each drum and the two AT4050´s for the overheads. At specific parts I came closer to drums with the 4050´s in order to get a large diaphragm close miking sound of a specific drum. The results were great and can be heard on our track ’maboomboomboom’.
Finally the last surprise for me was the ATH-M50 headphones. Super sounding and rigid, I am using them exclusively since Nairobi. Previously owned headphones are mostly in the studio drawers these days…”

Need to Reset PMU? The iMac was a dramatic departure from mainstream computer design. The design of the first generation of the iMac has been credited to Jonathan Ive, currently Vice President of Industrial Design at Apple. It was the first computer to ship with out a floppy drive and was equip exclusively with USB port standard. The slot-loading iMac G3 began shipping in late 1999 with additional DV (Digital Video) designation. This version had FireWire, CD-RW/DVD-ROM, 500 Mhz Processor atop the new "Pangea" motherboard with a 16MB ATI Rage 128 Ultra graphics chip. The 2001 series was available in indigo, graphite, and snow with either the 500, 600, or 700MHz (PPC750CXe) processor.
Well this is what you have to do in order to install Leopard on an unsupported G4 :D use an supported Mac in my case a 1.42Ghz eMac G4 system, boot the Quicksilver into target disk mode and install Leopard on the quicksilver hard disk via firewire
I've been looking for a new CF card reader for a while and I finally decided to order the SanDisk Extreme USB 2.0 Card Reader only to find out it was out of stock at B &H. It finally came in, I got it and I'm very pleased.
On my old G4 PowerBook I had a PCMCIA slot card reader that I loved: fast, stayed inside the machine, and inexpensive. Alas, this new MacBook Pro has an "ExpressCard/34 slot" (seen here to the right of the black USB cable) which won't accept my old card reader.
The question is, USB 2.0 or firewire? I'm a great believer in firewire as it's a faster protocol and while this machine does not support firewire 800 newer MacBook Pros do. Sandisk's firewire equivalent of this card reader supports both firewire 400 and 800. The firewire model is $79 and lacks the second SD slot this reader has. However, for cards loaded with RAW images it might be enough faster to be worthwhile. I might end up with one of those too.
Here's what's great about this card reader:
* USB 2.0 is fast enough for most situations
* Second slot for SD cards, another popular digital media format
* Very light weight
* The small and light USB cable is the same as what comes with most cameras: the same male USB end that's on the camera's USB cable. This cable can double as the camera direct attach cable if you need to go that route.
* $24.
If you don't have a card reader this is one to consider.

Am 8. Juli 2011 ist auf dem Münchner Label out|here das Album "BLNRB - Welcome To The Madhouse" erschienen. Darauf sind 18 Stücke, die allesamt durch Kollaborationen von Künstlern aus Kenia und Berlin entstanden sind. Hierzu gehören u.a. das multikulturelle Star-Trio Jahcoozi, das Breakbeat-Doppel Modeselektor, die selbsternannte Queen of Kenyan Hip Hop Nazizi, das 6-köpfige Ragga-Kollektiv Ukoo Flani, die Elektronik-Boygroup Just A Band, der blinde Gitarrist und Sänger Michel Ongaro sowie die Trommelgruppe Radi.
Die Aufnahmen zum Gemeinschaftsprojekt des Goethe-Instituts Nairobi und der Elektronik-Produzenten und Kuratoren Gebrüder Teichmann begannen im Frühjahr 2010. „Dazu haben wir 2 temporäre Studios in einem Wohnhaus in Nairobi eingerichtet, in dem wir 4 Wochen arbeiteten und wohnten.“ erzählt Hannes der Gebrüder Teichmann.
Als Mischpult und Kernstück der Aufnahmen fungierte je Studio ein Allen&Heath ZED-R16.
-> www.allen-heath.com/uk/Products/pages/ProductDetails.aspx...
Als Mikrofone wurden von Audio-Technica
- zwei AT4050SM Multi-Pattern-Kondensatormikrofone und
-> eu.audio-technica.com/de/products/product.asp?catID=1&...
- vier ATM710 Kondensatormikrofone mit Nierencharakteristik
-> eu.audio-technica.com/de/products/product.asp?catID=1&...
mitgenommen.
Zum Abhören nahm man vier kleine Studiomonitore und Audio-Technica Kopfhörer, genauer
- zwei ATH-M50 und
-> eu.audio-technica.com/de/products/product.asp?catID=5&...
- vier ATH-M30
-> eu.audio-technica.com/de/products/product.asp?catID=5&...
Studiokopfhörer mit.
Hannes Teichmann: „Schnell nach unserer Ankunft in Nairobi waren unsere vier Koffer voll Technik ausgepackt, alles aufgebaut und verkabelt. Die Ecke für die provisorische Gesangskabine wurde mit Noppenschaumstoff gedämmt. Ein vom Goethe-Institut gestellter Generator sowie zwei Notstromaggregaten auf Batteriebasis wurden als Schutz vor der Unberechenbarkeit des kenianischen Stromnetzes aufgestellt.“
Am zweiten Tag begann die Musikproduktion. Modeselektor verbunden hierzu ihren Mac per Firewire in dem ersten Studio mit einem ZED-R16 Mischpult. Jahcoozi und Ukoo Flani richtetem sich mit ihrem PC im zweiten Studio am zweiten ZED-R16 ein.
Das ZED-R16 ermöglichte in jedem Studio 16 Audiokanäle zur Kommunikation mit einem Computer zu nutzen. Man konnte also entweder bis zu 16 Spuren zu einem Computer schicken und aufnehmen oder von einem Computer an das Mischpult zur Mischung und Wiedergabe schicken. Die Fähigkeit zu Mischformen wie z.B. 8 Spuren wiedergeben und 8 Spuren gleichzeitig aufnehmen prädestinierte das ZED-R16 für dieses Projekt mit vielen unterschiedlichen Anforderungen, aber geringem Erfordernis an die Spurenanzahl.
„In den Studios ging der Wechsel der verschiedenen Laptops, Betriebssysteme und Programme dank der Firewire-Schnittstelle und des durchdachten Designs der ZED-R16 Mischer problemlos von statten.“, berichtet Hannes Teichmann. „Ob die Beats wie bei Jahcoozi hauptsächlich im Rechner entstanden oder wie in unserem Studio alle 16 Kanäle mit analogen Klangquellen belegt waren, der Mixer passte.“
Zum Monitoring erzählt Hannes weiter: „Auch das Monitoring und der Kopfhörermix waren dank der praktischen Matrix und Control Room-Sektion des Pultes sehr einfach umzusetzen. Während sich der Produzent mit seinem Kopfhörer in den Phones-Anschluss der Control Room-Sektion einsteckte und so in jeden Kanal reinhören konnte, bot das ZED-R16 für die Musiker zwei zusätzliche Kopfhörerverstärker am Stereo 3 (ST3)- bzw. Stereo 4 (ST4)-Ausgang des Pultes, die mittels der AUX-Wege oder der Hauptsumme beschickt werden konnten.“
Bereits in der zweiten Nacht konnte ein erstes Werk namens >Living Room< vollendet werden. Mit zwei Mikrofonen des Typs ATM710 nahm man hierbei nicht nur zwei Rapper, sondern auch zwei Hunde, die vor dem Fenster im Takt bellten, auf.
„Natürlich war das AT4050 überwiegend als Gesangsmikrofon für die Sänger und Sängerinnen, sowie für akustische Instrumente wie Flöten, akustische Gitarren oder Trommeln im Einsatz.“, erklärt Hannes Teichmann. „Man kann beim ATM710 aber auch schon mal vergessen, dass es ein Handmikrofon ist. Es ist wirklich überragend. Dies liegt sicher daran, dass es ein Kondensatormikrofon ist. Überraschenderweise macht sich dies im Live-Einsatz keineswegs negativ bemerkbar. Es koppelt nicht schneller als die klassischen dynamischen Gesangsmikrofone und es gibt auch keine Rumpler bzw. stärkere Störgeräusche, wenn es in der Hand gehalten wird. Aus diesem Grund haben wir das ATM710 jetzt auch bei jedem Live-Auftritt im Einsatz. Der EQ auf meinen Vocals ist seither immer aus!“
Oren Avinash Gerliz von Jahcoozi sagte über das technische Setup: “Although I used and owned Audio-Technica and Allen&Heath pro audio products before, the audio arsenal we chose for the studios in Nairobi served us far behind my initial expectation.
The mixer proved itself as a very good sounding, multi-purpose and easy to set up tool. I did not stop using it since the Nairobi project, and actually cannot imagine my studio in Berlin without it. With one firewire cable connected, we had basically all we need for our multi-microphone and the big setup of analog synth. Everything was connected at all time for our almost 24 hours creativity and everybody could easily monitor and record each channel with a single click. The other amazing things are the mixing options. As an example we can give the song ‘Nai Dub’ (which is not on the album, but has been chosen for the new Tom Tyker film). I made a basic dub setup on my computer with about 12 channels. Then I sent each of them in a few seconds to a physical channel on the ZED-R16. Then I connected the 2 aux ways on the mixer to 2 inputs on the computer which had delay and reverb, which also was returning on 2 extra channel on the mixer. Then I threw in a bunch of various plug-ins on different channels in my arrangement assigning all their important parameters to the midi section of the ZED¬-R16. I pressed play and continued to a dub session using the mixer alone to play. Opening the delay aux on the delay channel gave me absolute analog control over the feedback up to a massive cloud. Then I opened the mic channel and we started a classic dub session.
The AT4050 proved itself, along side with the pre-amps and convertors of the ZED-R16 as a world class vocal recording chain. All the vocals on the NRBLN ‘welcome to the madhouse’ record were recorded using this chain and the results were great (listen to the album…). Mixing the tunes proved again the vocals well recorded as they sat well in the mix without much fussing around.
A special challenge was recording Radi percussion quartet, which play a variety of African percussions. I had all the microphones from both studios - two AT4050 and four ATM710 – but it was slightly less than the group needed. It demanded creativity in the positioning and moving the mics around between music parts, according to which instrument was leading at a certain time. We used maboomboom drums, lead drums, sengenya drums and soft percussions. I used basically an ATM710 for each drum and the two AT4050´s for the overheads. At specific parts I came closer to drums with the 4050´s in order to get a large diaphragm close miking sound of a specific drum. The results were great and can be heard on our track ’maboomboomboom’.
Finally the last surprise for me was the ATH-M50 headphones. Super sounding and rigid, I am using them exclusively since Nairobi. Previously owned headphones are mostly in the studio drawers these days…”

The time, buttons, and logos on the DVD Recorder.
The bottom part also flips down to reveal a few ports and inputs: USB Type B for PictBridge, USB for an MP3 player (it will play back your music), iLink (aka Firewire) for connecting a camcorder, and the usual Composite/Left/Right/S-Video ports. Plus two buttons, channel+ and Channel-.
Released in July 2004, the iPod fourth generation adopted the click wheel from the iPod Mini and had a hold switch redesign. There were two versions of the this particular iPod one with a two color blue back lit LCD display (pictured) and a color version called the iPod Photo. They came with either 20GB or 40GB hard drive based capacity, dock connection (dock was included with the 40 GB version), improved better battery life, FireWire interface, and supported AAC, AIFF, MP3 and WAV audio formats, no video. The playback modes included playlist, one ad all track repeat, random shuffle play.
Alright so I think this is how my setup is going to stay for a nice long time! :) lol.

Part five of my iPod adventure comes in the robust form of the 2nd generation iPod. This well constructed beast of an mp3 player is a recent eBay find that still looks great even after all these years.
This iPod is the first I have owned that doesn't come with a dock connector and as such the whole design, although familiar in some ways, feels alien in others. The input controls feel huge, and solid and the whole device feels like it was built to last. At the time of release it was applauded for its small size considering the amount of storage available, however, when compared with more modern iPods that particular revision clearly demonstrates just how far we have come in terms of storage capacities and miniaturisation of components.
I will be living with this beast for a while and will post my thoughts and findings on jonhume.co.uk so please do check that out for more information. Enjoy :)
