I'd say it happens no more than once every 30 seconds, but that's frequent enough if recording an audiobook.

You'll want to do it in the exact opposite order. Your coach/producer/director is your primary choice, and they usually have an engineer and/or studio where they prefer to work, so that takes care of the studio question."

Thanks. Digi 002 had the same specs, so I opted that direction. Cheaper and I hear some rumblings of many preferring it to the 003. To each their own in the end, though.
Arrives today. Hopefully this solves everything..."

"Was thinking the same thing, Joe - is it possibly a ground-loop issue?
Alexis, make sure y'all try plugging the patch into an outlet NOT connected to your Pre-Amp/Computer. That may clear out the hum immediately."

Thank you for the considerate offer. I've pretty well determined that whatever is going on with this iMac conflict is a software, read that "driver" issue, rather than a hardware problem. That thinking comes from some posts on the Tech Blog here @ VU that got my attention. For example, yesterday I was listening to audiobook samples at the iTunes store. Checked out maybe 8-10 samples...no problem. Closed iTunes and did something else. About an hour later I went to a web page to listen to some post, and no audio. In this case I didn't get the beachball, so I could re-start the iMac, return to the web page and listen. If I got the beachball, it's Power off, etc.
I need to better understand audio "drivers" so I can resolve(possibly) these issues.
Anyway, I do hope to meet sometime as we're neighbors and we're both in VO and it's always good to keep connected in this biz in this town.
If you have any insight re: audio drivers please pass them along.

Thanx for the "strip silence" recommendation, I knew nothing about it. I have been picking my way thru the ProTools PDF and still, there's so much. I don't understand tweaking the db, but I'll add it to my list. Recently I tried working with both EQ and Compression, and the results were pretty awful.
Although Harlan Hogan sez send "clean" tracks, I'd still like to be able tweak my submissions a little bit, don't you think.
Thank you again,
Tom Dolan
ps// if you ever need some info re: Japan, ask! I lived there 10 years and my wife is there visiting her family as I write.
Sounds like you are on a role.Thanks for the kudos for Raz.
If you decide to continue studying vo animation contact me at brooklynboymike@gmail.com and let me know if you are interested in attending my one day VO seminar MAY 2nd in Burbank.
I will be covering Interactive character building, animation and animation adr.

Sure enough, someone 20 minutes away was selling their studio and had the exact John Hard M-2 configuration I wanted. Brought some mics to test it and WOW is all I can say; basically brand new, rugged as hell, sounds frakkin' amazing, and about half list!
A BIG congrat's again on those nuptials.. She got an outstanding guy and I'm sure you did the very same!! We wish you both nothing but the best. I'll let you know how the regional thang goes with the coach.. CYA soon,
Bob
I dig the M-2. It's similar to my RNP, just an ugly little box that gives a clean HOT signal.
Where'd you pick it up?
LOL Talkshop? What were they running there?
