  1. Shoot, @Dalton Patterson, I hope that's not what mine is dealing with. Once I got a card that I was able to format in the machine it seems to work as normal. Also, when I tried it with a card formatted for a camera and it froze, I think it was on original firmware. I hope updating that will also help.
  2. That seemed to work! Thank you. Now we'll see how she acts on the power up...
  3. Hi, I put in a CF card in my 633 mixer, it was a Transcend 32G (older) card that has never been used on the mixer. And before I could even navigate to format, it froze the mixer, the screen is on, but won't react to buttons etc. I removed power and took out AAs and turned off, and the screen is still on! Any recommendations on what to do? I'm surprised how long the screen has been lit up with no batteries...
  4. Thanks @Paul F, but any explanation on why the stock mic that came will it seems to not have as much interference?
  5. @FreemanAny updates on this? I just got the Connect kit, with the BP-TRXs and DUO receiver. Right away I got interference using the Tx and DUO with a Tram mic. It might be less with the stock mic--need to try more things. Anyone know what is happening here? I can't imagine a more ideal location than where I am right now... Is the lav cable being used as an antenna, causing a difference with different mics?
  6. Thanks for the response @IronFilm. So by "pro" you mean higher end, like Lectro etc? Do the Sony's just not have the ability to output line level? Or could it be in my wiring?
  7. The Orca OR-28 is also a tight fit but barely works. Same thing, the card door is hard to open--but still doable--and might be hard to use the X3/X4 jack.
  8. I'm making cables to use Sony URX-P03 on channels 4-6 (TA3F) on the 633 mixer. The cable works, but the signal is so low. I have Attenuation at 0 on the transmitter, and the output of the receiver up all the way at +12. I know these 633 channels are all line level only, but does anyone know the pinouts for the Sony wireless? Doesn't Sennheiser have line level on the ring and mic on the tip or something like that? I can't find this info anywhere for Sony. I did pin 1 to sleeve, pin 2 to tip and pin 3 to ring--is that the way to go? Can anyone help me understand a solution? Surely these Sony's can output a line level signal, can't they?
  9. Great info--thank you to everyone that contributed to the conversation. I am certainly lacking in my radio band knowledge, and so the explanations were very helpful. Sounds like the 2.4 mics can be a good tool to have available, but are certainly not the way of the future at this point.
  10. Hello, I wasn't able to find this topic so I thought I'd ask. I am not a beginner by any means, but I'd love input from true experts. I'd like to understand pros and cons to using traditional wireless (like sennheiser G4 level) and these new DJI wireless mics. I'd use the same b6 lavs. Why would I go the sennheiser route? It seems like a dumb question, but it seems like the 2.4 G digital signal might be cleaner and less noise than analog, and maybe less interference? I'm not usually in a congested area, and just doing interviews. I'm just wondering if it's one of those things that takes time for a whole industry to come around to change to what might be a better solution? I totally get that build quality will be cheaper etc. but I am mostly just concerned with audio quality and performance. Thoughts?
  11. This may remain a mystery forever, they didn't respond to my inquiry. But I have all sorts of ideas now!
  12. I have been running around with the Zoom F4, and it's cool how much it does for the price point. Has anyone had some major issues with it out of the box? I'm a whole number behind with the firmware, but didn't read any of my issues in the known issues literature for the updates. A big one is getting the wrong channel PFL like it's bleeding through or routed improperly. But there is no way to re-route it the way it was working. Two tracks also shows up as a stereo track in Premiere even though they are both centered and should be recording polyphonic files. If I arm a third track that is blank it shows up properly as a three track poly. Anyway... that's not why I'm posting. With cameras I'm used to the free-run timecode mode to run for days on end even when powered on and off. The F4 resets the timecode to zero every time it's powered on. I usually jam with the camera once a day, which should be plenty. But I'll either have to let the F4 run all day or jam every time I power off. Am I missing a way around this--is there a way to have the timecode run even when powered off?
  13. Quick question, what would client mean exactly saying they want to record "naked audio" on a cooking show?
  14. So does anyone have one of these yet and care to share initial thoughts?
