Was on B&H's site and just noticed Zoom has dumped the F4 so if you are interested in one you might be able to get a great deal if anyone has any stock left.

I know this might sound like the wrong place to ask this question but I think it might actually be the best. I do sound post and some production. But occasionally I get asked to film a talk or an interview. I figure other sound folks might have similar experiences and might have some good...

B&H has it on sale again for $350. No Codes. This is a crazy price for this piece of gear. I suspect there is a new F series recorder that is aimed at replacing the F4 and they are clearing stock but? Deal ends 11:59pm on Dec 29.

No codes just $50 off for the holidays. LINK Nice add on for the $350 F4...

I was searching because I need another one and found this I have never heard of this. But a zep for $150 from a reputable company, with the dead cat sounds like a very good deal.

I know Resolve is a NLE, but it may soon also be a DAW. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/fairlight For those that have been around awhile Fairlight used to be a competitor of ProTools. Fairlights (originally I think they were samplers) were stand alone DAW's cost a...

Just saw this https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1140426-REG/zoom_zf8_f8_field_recorder.html Makes sense since the F4 just got a $50 discount.

This is a very interesting article on what is lost in compressing to MP3. It's not very technical but interesting none the less. http://www.theverge.com/2015/2/19/8068923/mp3-compression-ghost-suzanne-vega-toms-diner

Sonniss is giving away 200+ sound FX libraries to one lucky winner. Basically all you need to do is enter your name and you are in the running, it's one prize of all 200+. Other than having a couple of libraries on the site I'm not connected in any way with Sonniss, but I thought some folks in...

How much is still a question but somewhere between a bit to more than all is going to be auctioned off by the FCC and will be off limits in four years. The good news is that they won't make it illegal instantly so you can still use your mics in the four year transition, but that is a sliver of...

I was going to add to a prior thread but I couldn't find it. Someone mentioned a long start time for the h4n, well I was on a shoot yesterday and the guy who was recording had a problem with his interface and so no recorder... The cameraman and I had both brought pocket recorders and we were...

There is a fairly new sound FX site called Sonniss. They only sell libraries so you can not buy a single sound, you always have to get a library. But they allow sellers to price libraries down to $10 before discounts, so you can buy a library for what you might pay for a single sound. The...

Good discussion of sound for documentaries. Jim and I go back to his theatre days. http://designingsound.org/2014/11/documentary-sound-a-discussion-with-james-lebrecht/

I managed to pick up a lectrosonics set at an auction. The only catch is that the receivers are UCR100. They are fine but they have an 1/8" output because they are designed to go into a DSLR or consumer camcorder. The upside is that you can plug headphones in them and use them for boom...

I managed to get a couple of Lectrosonic 100 series packs at an auction. They have the Lectro M152 mics with them which from what I read are OK. I was looking at picking up a pair of Oscar Tech lavs as upgrades/ alternates. So my question for those who know the mics which ones? I can see...

http://www.visionarysound.co.uk/resources/ These guys have released some of their library in high sample rate sets. It's all free to use with no royalties, and it's some interesting bits and pieces. They are from England so the old phone recording has the british ring. You probably want a...

A group I'm in just mentioned this site. Looks pretty decent. Free Sounds and Music

The other thread that has been closed, was drifting in a direction that I think would be of some use. There was a post close to the end that was actually incorrect about 5.1 and I don't want that just sitting there. 5.1 is a discrete system with one exception. Some flavors of ProLogic use a...

This is not one of those I want the best under $100 recorder posts. I'm looking for a small portable recorder for FX recording. I have a bigger kit but I'm going to be limited to something I can toss in my laptop bag for this trip. I have a Zoom h2 and... That is why I'm looking for...
