What do you want the recorder for? Do you need timecode? 32 bit? multiple channels?

I'd suggest asking on the FieldRecording Slack site and on JWSound for recommendations - both have used gear sections - though bblist is pretty good too.

I'd get a Sound Devices if you want something well designed and reliable.

In London Odeon Luxe West End is probably best for sound - Picturehouse Central is pretty good too

Having a bit of a studio clear out over Christmas - any interest in the following items:

(i) Sherman Filterbank 2 - owned from new but not heavily used - all pots running smooth. Think I have the box and manual somewhere. Selling as just bought UAD Moog filter. £500 plus shipping.

(ii) Pair Adam A7 monitors. (N.B. not the more recent A7x). These have been my surround monitors for a few years and prior to that my main stereo pair but haven't used them for a year or so. They're well used but not thrashed and cosmetically in good shape. £400 plus shipping.

(iii) Neumann TLM103 plus suspension and foam. Had this for about five years and only used lightly (but didn't buy from new) and kept boxed when not in use. Nice mic; reliable and very quiet. £750 plus shipping.

(iv) Rode NT55 matched pair omnis/cards. Poor man's KM84. Not really used the cardioids but the omnis make a decent spaced pair. £350 say (I have some Rode WS8 fluffies if you fancy too)

Everything is in Bath so could deliver if fairly close....

I just got a reminder from my dentist that I've an appointment coming up. I'm due to have a tooth pulled so expecting some blood sweat and tears. (It's an elective rather than an emergency procedure.)

I know Cervelo's ain't cheap but seriously?

Just logged in to recommend the Two Tunnels option - much more interesting than the Bristol/Bath Path - good pub in Mells and even better pizza garden in the summer. There's one dodgy bit entering Wellow when going under a railway bridge otherwise it's almost traffic free. Another option is to go via the Tuckers Grave/Slaughtered Lamb at Faulkland for a bit of local colour.

In the Slimbridge/Berkeley area the pubs at Purton and Littleton on Severn are both great and if you can make it to Severn Beach there's an (erratic) train to Bristol Temple Meads to get you home. It's a bit fiddly but you can also cross the bridge and head into Wales.

There's also circuit riding at Castle Combe as an alternative to Odd Down.

Here's a good source of free IRs:

(lots of dead links)

The Bricasti ones are great as are those by Fokke van Sanne. For more weird stuff the Spirit Canyon ones have been really useful for me - hard to find now though.

Recording really good/accurate/usable IRs of real spaces is very difficult indeed - takes time and good quality gear but you can get interesting results from unconventional spaces (dustbins/pipes etc.) and objects - anything with strong resonances will do.

Strong changes in dynamics can be interesting too - glitches, speech samples, broken glass etc.

Be sure to put a limiter + HPF on your output - you can generate high levels and lots (and lots) of sub very easily and unpredictably.

Only downside is that a lot of convolved sounds can be smudgy and time smeared - great for drones but harder to make punchy stuff.

Thanks very much!

Sounds promising but it'll never top his masterpiece:

John Wick Part 2 - Samuel L Jackson brilliant, though pretty much just repeats his role in Ghost Dog - Way of the Samurai.

Very loud guns...

....weird synchronicity there

Anyone recommend some super grippy winter road tyres?

Last year I came off three times after losing traction on ice patches and am keen to avoid a repeat.

Yes please for the Concor Light.....

Hi - will take the black one off your hands.....

I'll take those pedals; thank you very much...

Hi - If you're interested I've got an outgrown Orbea Junior I was going to sell - can't remember the size but I think would suit a 7-9 yr old. Alloy frame & Shimano Sora. Tasteful Euskaltel orange. Currently down in Bath.

I also use A7s (not the A7xs) - they're pretty trustworthy & good for the price. Only problems I've had are at the extreme low end (sub 40/50Hz) which hardly reproduces, while slightly higher freq. bass is a bit over hyped (possibly my room as much as the speakers). I've also found they lack definition with very complex material. (I don't use them for music though - just sound fx design).
