For me, a fast zoom system lets me capture the dynamics of live music more quickly.

I just bought a black PowerPlay (apparently made by another company). I was really excited to install it on my TRV900 and shoot some footage, but I noticed the colors weren’t as vivid as the 3CCD footage.

So I tried it on my Hi8 DV camera and PC-series DV camera as well. After exporting the footage, I found that all three videos had exactly the same color output.

Does anyone else get the same result? Even with the “official” white PowerPlay?😅

Hi everyone,

I’m the vocalist in a band and I mainly do screams. My vocals are mostly in the mid and high range rather than low growls.

I also play melodica in some parts of our songs, so I’d like to use the same microphone for both vocals and melodica.

Could you recommend a good stage dynamic microphone for this kind of use? I’m currently looking at the sE Electronics V7 — would it be a good choice for screamed vocals and melodica?

Thanks!

I've been looking to buy an electric melodica for live performances, but after searching around, it seems like Hammond is almost the only company making them.

Out of curiosity, I looked up a Hammond electric melodica service manual. The design doesn't seem particularly complicated, so it made me wonder:

Is there some kind of patent barrier that has kept other manufacturers out of the market? Or is the market simply too small, with most players preferring traditional acoustic melodicas instead?

I'd be interested to hear if anyone knows the history or business reasons behind this.
