i participated in the 48 hour film fest for my 7th time this past weekend. usually my jobs are production sound and titles. last year we shot with a d90(yuck, i know) but we drew silent film so all i did was Foley and post sound. but this year i just knew we were going to have a dialogue driven film so i wanted to step my game up for sound and we were shooting with the 7D.
boom recorder steps in here...
wow, such an amazing piece of software. i was running a 1620 mackie mixer to my 15" macbook pro tucked away in back bedroom. had an awesome boom op and a bunch of wireless.
boom op was using a mixpre for monitoring and limiter protection when booming wireless. i had all my wireless Rx'ers ran outside the room and close to set as possible. usually there were 4 going at a time. 3 were 700mhz block which is now illegal, but i plan to keep using for a while. i had 1 Tx on my mixer going to camera for a scratch track, which made syncing super easy, especially with plural eyes.
only had to strap on the mixer bag for two exterior shots, but it wasn't bad at all.
my sound files were going to my local drive and an external. once a scene was wrapped i'd back up those files to a CF card and send to post along with the camera's CF card.
my mackie mixer has 16 tracks, but i was only recording 6 iso's to 1 file and a mix track to the 2nd file. i ended up with around 3.5gbs of sound files.
so thanks to Take Vos for making such an awesome piece of software!
