I know, wrong group, but nevertheless... I'm currently working on a video recorder for a MoCap studio, but perhaps it could be handy for you guys as well. At the moment it can: Record video from up to 8 Blackmagick devices (A cheap BM Mini Recorder is good enough for rock 'n roll.) Take sound from another device and marry it to the video on the fly. (So no need for SDI audio embedders.) Take LTC from another device or UDP for accurate TC. Apply some effects (currently flip / rotate as I work for MoCap, but I could add LUT's or alike.) Record in 'any' codec (It's FFmpeg based), including HEVC. H264 / ProRes / HEVC have build in presets,…

I know I'm a total novice and will probably look stupid in this group full of experts, but can anyone help with an audio related issue with my Sennheiser MKH50 P48... I have recently purchased a Sennheiser MKH50 P48. I am doing talking head work and plugging my MKH50 into a Sony XLR K3M which is connected to my Sony A7Siii. I am finding with the MKH50 that I am getting this very high pitched noise on my recordings. When I use my other XLR Microphones (I have tried two different ones) on the K3M I do not get this noise. As you can imagine I am tearing my hair out! You can listen to a sample of the noise here which is a WAV file - https://www.dropbox.com/s/lguudvie3afj…

My question towards the members using the R4+ RECORDER. I have cast of 12 scripted parts. Obviously more than my mixer, ( Digital out option on my mixer ES84 to R4+) , if I go to physical inputs XLR 1-4 and 2 more lines on TA 3 F 5 and 6. I am now recording 8 digital in ( 1 Mix-Mono; rest 2-8 ISO) the added channels going to Tracks 9-16 are part of the same poly file but not in the Mix. More to it 9-14 are analog post fader- not ISO pre- fader ?! So, how do I craete a poly file with normal Mix- ch1, and the rest normal 2-14 iso ? Let alone feeding the Public IFB Lectors for Company . Many Thnks to all members in regards to my dilemma .

Well there was bad news today as Arclight cinemas and Pacific Theatre Group announced they would not be re-opening any of their theaters. This is the chain that runs the historic Cinerama Dome in Hollywood and several multiplexes in Los Angeles and other large cities. These theatres were all luxury cinemas that had been charging premium rates for films and refreshments. If they could not make it with their high ticket prices it doesn't bode well for those that worked on an even smaller profit margin. So the chance to experience the latest Blockbuster in Full Dolby Atmos sound will be harder and harder to come by. Maybe some Hedge fund company will swoop in and bu…

I’m not sure what changed here at JW sound but seems like the default view for looking at new content now shows repetitive topic headers for every new post within a topic. Ends up looking very cluttered, especially on a phone. Does anyone know if this can be reset or setup differently in preferences? Thanks!

Woodland Studio B, 1982 - Commercial I took a 17 piece group to this room with an old Neve - I told the assistant what we had coming in and when he asked how I wanted the room setup - I asked him how long he had worked there’d he said 3 years - ‘then you know your room and what works, help me impress this producer and we will all gain a client”. The only thing I requested was all large cap german mics - all day tracking I kept looking at the producer trying not to grin at each other - Neve’s forever https://mixdownmag.com.au/features/rupert-neve-exploring-the-audio-architects-everlasting-legacy/

Sad to read about the passing of Rupert Neve today. The soundtrack to mine, and many others lives were recorded and mixed on a Neve. While not too popular with us I always loved hearing from the handful of Mixers who did used them on a cart. Seemed so exotic!

Chat feature will be disabled as I work on installing something which I think will work better. Thank you for your patience. I installed the Chatbox on this site many months ago but it has gotten ZERO use by any of our members. I'm not even sure it is displayed in the navigation area on the main page. Is there anyone who wants to see if it is working (and more importantly I would like to hear if this is a feature anybody will want to use). Below you will see a screenshot that shows the button in the header for the Chatbox.

Quite often sound is the most under-appreciated aspect of filmmaking even though photography and sound are the two most important tools in cinematic storytelling. This is a workshop for those who want to explore the technical knowledge and set procedures required of professional sound recordists and mixers in a wide range of field productions. It will be equally attentive to craft and theory. Led by Oscar-Winning Production Sound Mixer Mark Ulano, the workshop covers the preparation, necessary equipment, processes and techniques for recording and mixing sound in the field. Students learn to appreciate the protocols common to all TV and movies, the importance…

I was tempted to add this to the Gallery of Sound Carts. But I bet someone else already has. (ht to Jason DeGraw who posted this on Facebook). Everything old is new again.
