		<title>Installing a Wittman MiniTuner &#8211; In an `Ukulele</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I use an electronic tuner for my stringed instruments. I use one often. When I tune by ear I do a terrible job, so I much prefer using a gadget to help me. I&#8217;ve tried lots of different tuners over the years. When I played mainly electric guitar I used tuners with 1/4&#8243; jack inputs. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Myth Busted &#8211; The Too Sensitive Condenser Microphone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve read many times on the internet that condensers are too sensitive, they pick up the mouse in the next room, the refrigerator downstairs, the arm hairs brushing on the top of the guitar. People have suggested that a dynamic mic is better when there&#8217;s ambient noise, clumsy technique, or a bad sounding room. Have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Composite Acoustics OX Raw</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Traveling to and from Hawai`i involves big changes in humidity, and this is a recipe for trouble with an acoustic guitar. I&#8217;ve suffered from rising action and even finish cracks from the wood swelling when I travel to the islands. Friends who have brought instruments from Hawai`i to California have experienced just the opposite &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kodak Zi8 &#8211; Pocket HD with Audio Input</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was already in Hawai`i on my vacation &#8211; can you take a vacation from being retired? &#8211; when I learned of the new Kodak Zi8. Now I already have a collection of video cameras that gets me teased by my wife, but this new shooter was too good to pass up. I&#8217;ve had it [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Tuning Pegs for that Masterbilt EF-500M</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m enjoying some time in Hawai`i and part of the fun is getting back together with my Epiphone Masterbilt EF-500M. This is the first Epi EF-500 I bought, it&#8217;s a &#8220;second&#8221; that I bought used (second squared, I guess). For that last few years I&#8217;ve left this guitar in Hawai`i so I don&#8217;t have to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mic Comparison &#8211; a Tutorial</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most mic comparisons I find on the web use different performances for each mic. In my experience, most mics are lot more similar than most performances, so this tutorial shows how to reduce the outside variables in mic (and other electronic gear) comparisons.]]></description>

		<title>Audio for Video &#8211; Avidemux and Wavosaur</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my last blog entry I described the process for merging audio and video recorded on two different devices, for instance, replacing the audio in a Flip Mino HD video with audio recorded on a Zoom H2. This is a very handy technique, and can give great audio quality in the final video, but sometimes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Audio for Video using Avidemux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a lot of fun with Flip Mino HD camcorder. I&#8217;ve already done a few music videos with it and in my opinion the audio is far behind the quality of the video. Of course, even with expensive video equipment, having the mic on the camera keeps it some distance from the subject. Having [...]]]></description>

		<title>Question and Answers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post will reveal the identity of the comparison clips in the post comparing the M-Audio Profire and the Lynx and John Hardy recording chain. But before providing the answers, I&#8217;d like to pose a question.
I (naively) expected that people would embrace an opportunity to do some controlled testing, using an easy but very effective [...]]]></description>
