    Default Strange Attractor

    Hey Guys,
    can someone explain how a measurement mic "attracts" vacum cleaners?

    I've spent three days setting up a KF750/755 system and as soon as the mic was on the stand on day three, the cleaning crew "magically" appeared.
    ???
    I used the music+pink and every one of them told me my "radio" needed tuning
    Warmest regards,
    Ferrit

    hate that - alot

    often thought about trying a mic on the vacum, pass it through mixer / reference, then use it to your benefit... or something like that

    so annoying, pain shared.
    No-ones smaarter than anyone else. Or Dumber.

    Using:

    Smaart V7.4
    Macbook Pro i5
    Smaart IO
    Roland OctoCapture
    Audix TM1-Plus
    Audix TM1 x 4

    The next Smaart version I hope that includes an anti-vacum weight...

    Would be interesting to see how your mic performed in a vacuum.

    How about an inverse vacuum filter? Oh wait, the inverse of a vacuum is air pressure...never mind.....

    Okay maybe we could make a roomba version. It would slowly average the room while it cleans!

    Default Vaccuum

    I can vouch for the fact that the inverse of vaccuum is way worse! I was tuning at Nou Camp Stadium in Barcelona for 5 days, and there were 3 or more leaf blowers going every single minute of it!

    It is a 125,000 seat stadium and by my reckoning it takes about 25 man-days to collect the trash after a match. Instead of hiring 25 men for a day, they hire 5 and give them 5 days to finish the job . . . with 2-cycle leaf blowers.
