I got what the original Wireless GO was all about, and I knew I was categorically not the target audience for it. But this new release actually intrigues me.

Though, they tout backup recording to...

-10dB sensitivity in the transmitter seems unusually high, but I also don’t know which lavaliere mic you’re using. Either way, these are just numbers. Are they good? I can’t tell based on numbers. My...

There are two other points in proper gain staging with this setup:

Have you checked the Sensitivity setting on your G2 transmitter? This needs to be set so that normal speech level meters at about...

I’ve actually been using the Extreme Pro 64GB 170MB/s cards without any issues... but I somehow missed that they were on the unapproved list. Whoops...

Not exactly. Noise specs do matter, to an extent. Example: the Shure VP-88 has an extremely high self-noise of 25dB. It’s great for stereo tracks in higher-SPL situations, but it’s dreadful for...

The difference in sensitivity is nearly negligible (-32dBV vs -30dBV), but either way the 13dB self-noise is a very good rating. Keep in mind that manufacturer specs are not always entirely accurate...

Was just coming to post the same thing.

I know it’s at (or just beyond) the top end of the stated budget, but there’s a Magnus VT-400 on sale for $109. Not a super-fantastic-high-quality tripod by...

Thanks. I looked at that one, but it’s chrome and I really would prefer it in black (which is backordered even with the riser section). And while I’d considered getting just a riser section, having...

Hi, all.

I’m typically wary of off-brand light stands (I’ve worked with some... typically hate them), but I’m having a very hard time finding Matthews C+ stands in stock, specifically with...

I’m also curious about this. All the US product listings tout the headphone/line output with no indication that it mutes during recording, and I wonder how they’re able to skirt the Zaxcom patent.
...

Not 100% accurate.

I have worked on several jobs where it was made clear that they were not paying for my kit, and that they were sending theirs. Some of those are production companies that have...

They pack a punch for not a whole lot of money. They certainly have their limitations, but there’s nothing there I’ve found that keeps them from taking on some impressive projects.

I have both the...

So, you’re suggesting that someone on a MixPre-3 budget just go ahead plunk down $4500 on an 833? Or $8000 for an 888?

Yes, the 8-series mixer/recorders have lots of great features, but not...

From 2015. They aren’t claiming to be the first space rocket. The historic part of this is the successful landing of an orbital rocket... things that used to fall off and drop back to earth. It’s...

This will record as a poly wave file. The MixPre has no option to record individual (split mono) wave files. You can, as Jim suggested, use Wave Agent to split the poly wave into individual, mono...

So, do you mean you only recorded the L/R mix, and didn’t record the ISO tracks?

You need to arm your ISO tracks (press the fader for any input, which will take you to that input’s menu screen,...

The whole point of the MiCon connection is that it is detachable, and allows for quick swapping of connector types. If you epoxy it in place, it’s ruined.

Lav cables are thin. That’s kind of their thing. Bulky cables are harder to dress, especially when running through/underneath wardrobe.

And yes, they can be delicate. The last thing ever to do to...

Incorrect.

If you don’t use a mid-side single-point with internal matrix, you do get separate mid (cardioid) and side (Fig8) signals. However, to reap the stereo width of the sides, you have to...

Phantom power should be OFF. The ew100 receiver does not require phantom power to operate, and the voltage can cause signal issues and potentially even damage the receiver.

I’ve also found the...

Not the first time this kind of setup has been mentioned around here. I wouldn’t recommend it. That stereo “ambient” track won’t make the mix in post because it won’t do anything helpful to the...

Absolutely this, a technique that’s been around (and very effective) for a very long time.

It’s easy to see the master shot only, and to start to worry about how you’re going to cover audio....

No.

But... HOW?! You don’t speak Vietnamese. How would you know on which Vietnamese words to make your cuts? Because he probably won’t stick to the script verbatim, and chances are that you’re going to...

When you say “controlled setting”, how controlled? Proper VO booth?

If you’re in an actual voice studio or isolation booth, then the TLM series are pretty widely regarded in the VO world. On the...
