comment Fixing low-frequency hum in an undersaddle acoustic guitar pickup
You'd think, but this guitar is fourteen years old. Fourteen years hum-free is a pretty good run!

Turns out that replacing just the cable is harder than I thought. This is a very good answer, but I ended up replacing the entire pickup/wire assembly for expediency's sake.

comment Why does one side of my headphones always break?
Is the same side of the headphones always breaking? That would indicate the problem is probably happening with the plug.

@matthewgibb - I respectfully disagree, and I believe it absolutely matters what you do with your headphones. Have added to my answer to address this.

comment Audio from PA system to Camcorder
They'd be using a recorder of some sort - if they have one - or recording to a laptop. "External" in this context means any audio recorder that's not the camcorder.

comment Audio from PA system to Camcorder
I've never done it, but I understand it can be done. Ask them for an AIF or WAV file, not an MP3. Can anyone speak to whether or not it's possible for timecode sync to be used in a case like this, if the sound guys have something that'll generate it?

No, it's a small box that only records audio. You plug a mic into it directly and sync up the audio later on.

@Prabhu - See my edit. (It's hard to guess at cable quality from this Amazon link.)

comment What microphone is used by sound engineers in foley?
It's worth noting that mics that use XLR connectors will almost certainly give you better sound.

comment Should my headphones literally be vibrating from bass?
This is a good answer, but I have an image in my head of a little old man with headphones, screaming "get off my lawn!" Old-style, "hi-fi" headphones.

comment Home studio minimum setting and cost
What do you want to do with the recordings? If these are demos strictly for your own use, you can get away with quite a bit less than if you want to upload tracks and attempt to sell them or even use them for publicity.
