This could explain the mysteriousness of how it got switched:  if you
have the single-key shortcut mode turned on (officially called Key
Command Focus) the "N" key toggles the Timeline insertion follows
playback preference.  There is no visual feedback in the interface as
to the current setting, and it's very easy to bump the "N" key when
you go in and out of play using Space.

It's been a ProTools gripe for years...  and looks like it'll never go away=

Subject: Re: hat mic

Hi Rich--
As omni's, their sound is pretty similar with a
close-mic'd, robust source. Aside from greater
noise, the SASS lacks low end and it has some
lower mid peaks (its off the ground I assume).
Spectral analysis would reveal differences
between the hatmic and the ME-62 I'm sure, but
they don't seem huge. There's more sibilance with
the ME-62.

Sennheiser ME62         self noise 17 dB(A)             sensitivity 20 mV/Pa
Panasonic       WM61a (single)  self noise 32
dB(A)           sensitivity 17.783 mV/Pa
Crown SASS-P Stereo     self noise 21 dB(A)             sensitivity 6 mV/Pa

Did the SASS require greater mic preamp gain?

At $12, for close-mic'd sources, the hatmic
clearly wins.  I wonder how the three mics would
compare under low level ambience and full or
close to full mic pre gaiin? But don't stay up.

Test results.

As the hat mic was the only unbalanced mic I should mention that I
did have to unplug other audio devices in the room to kill all hum.=20
I also had to build a battery box to get the hat mic into my quadmic
preamp so signal did go through an additional 1uf tantilum cap.

All three mics were recording at the same time using the same a/d
converter and same preamp. Recorded in 24 bit. All three mics were
within 3 inches of each other all pointed at the same direction. The
traffic noise is at 90 degrees to the front.

1. Sennheiser ME-62
2. Hat mic, only one channel recorded
3. SASS-P, only one channel recorded.

Conclusions. The hatmic held its own against the ME-62 and beat the
SASS-P.

For the proof it is a 6.2 meg download.
