  1. The XR makes sense to try since “stereo or xr” is the option for those being in the same family. I will also do an update check and try this all out again
  2. I did a 2x mic stereo 743 car to car rig that worked great in practice but had some squirrelly reception issues to work around. I was able to rig a sharfin antenna to the 743 and transmission was awesome. Curious if anyone here might have run into this as it seems not to be as cut n dry as it should be. 2x 414 modules in my nova. I noticed when setting a 414 module to stereo mode in my nova i had to reboot and follow a weird sequence in order to get it to work and also for a secondary wireless to work in the same module. 414 no1 - rx1 n rx2 all set to zhd96 and all 4x ch receivers show green = good reception 414 no2 - rx3 set to stereo and rx4 set to zhd96 - receivers show full red like it is trying work, but i have to toggle format on ea between zhd96 and stereo and then go back to setup/slot2 power off n back on to get this 414 module to show green and get good reception when a stereo trx is involved. with this config above, i have to repeat this process each time i power off the nova and power back up. Otherwise, 414 no1 shows full 4x green and 414 no2 shows full red until i “burp” the module as mentioned above. It appears turning on stereo reception throws my 414’s into a tizzy. in a perfect world i would just love for this to work as intended and be able to fluidly go in and out of these stereo and zhd setups. Like a camera link from a 2nd car bag to my nova car to car on the fly. My work around might have to be an rx200 dedicated to stereo configs in the future. Curious if anyone has history with stereo modes over the years that might help me understand as i recall this being similar with qrx receivers in the past.
  3. Wow - an amazingly detailed read and I admire where your head is at. Always looking to improve and fine tune nova workflow. A pipe dream but to tag onto your idea of other possibilities - i wonder if the urx interface adding even what would be a 3rd pi to this config can all coexist. bluetooth keyboarding text into urx receivers etc
  4. Found a ring light to try and show the card reader pins:
  5. Did a recording last night of several people speaking at a celebration of life event. I used my zaxcom maxx recorder with freshly formatted media. This morning i went to download the card and could not get it to read on my computer. I tried the card back inside the machine and could no longer mount it. Tried several card readers, no luck. Panic ensued as this was an extremely important recording for our family to preserve. Come to find out - the card reader I had used had a pin in the middle of the top row that had bent and combined to the pin below forcing both pins into the bottom row hole of the card. I tried even a tiny strand of copper inserted into the hole and then into a card reader very gently to see if i could make contact with the receiving end. no luck. Last resort - take the card apart. I thought this might be cool to see the guts inside. A small sized screw driver at the sides works great to pry it open. You can sort of see (sorry old iphone camera) in the last image where i point with a needle that the receiver copper piece similar to the receivers inside a female TA3 or XLR connector was pushed off of the solder bed and when I cracked it open it was loose inside. I was able to use tweezers to gently push it back into the hole maintaining contact with the solder bed and also gently insert into a card reader - PRESTO! What i thought might be a damaged recording media situation ended up being purely mechanical and an easy DIY fix. I highly recommend brand name card readers as they are all I will be using here on out.
  6. Does anyone use a thumb trackball mouse doing audio post that you might recommend that works with Monterey and above? I recently upgraded and seem to have lost my precision movements on the track ball with the Kensington version that I have. I have a feeling they’re software for Apple might be finicky on this operating system
  7. This is a weird one hope i am explaining correctly. Using a cedar DNS 2 with digital i/o in the same config i have been for quite a while. Today suddenly i am experiencing +10dB at the digital output only on left channel output. All levels at digital input are equal dual mono levels and processing on screen of the dns 2 is showing equal level processing. Currently set to stereo mode “D1= / =D2”. Very odd as just used the other day with no issues. Started today upon firing it up. Wondering if anyone has an ideas.
  8. For years I have used these types of sleds Velcro’ed to the back of Lectro And zaxcom receivers. Works great with these slim or slightly larger sony np style batts depending weight vs swap time: (photo shows how it comes stock but easy to rewire to your connector needs) https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07VX7JXFC?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
  9. i stayed the course with OMF separated and for me it has solved the problems I was having. So far so good only because everyone I receive from has been using premiere.
  10. totally agree, tricks with delay compensation works well when finessed properly. Typically i would use audiosuite "assistant" rx plug to try and get similar results. Clear is indeed a very nice plugin for the price
  11. glad to see it works in pro tools real time and audiosuite - feels very similar results to rx10 but all the work of 3x sep plugins at one time real time in trade for some of the more precision settings is very sleek
  12. I should’ve clarified yes I did order some off of Amazon, and yes prob ordered in bulk these days by other industries. but stores in the US like Walgreens I used to walk in and buy it all the time with sheets of moleskin lith aa’s etc. CVS here, same thing - I should’ve taken a photo of the one I saw they call it “cloth tape“ rather than the stuff that was specifically Durapore and their “high strength securement”. Creature of habit- bummed as it appears I can’t just walk in and get Durapore specifically for my own consistency sake. But i will try out the other stuff
  13. I went to stock up on it at the drugstore and realize they no longer sell Durapore and it looks like it’s replaced by cloth tape specifically not made with natural rubber latex. I special ordered Durapore rolls but has anyone used this cloth tape for comparison and more importantly should I be sensitive about allergy reactions using Durapore in the future?
  14. Good point on the media card it is very easy to carry a reader and hand them your cf in a reader ready to go
  15. I 2nd this. When the wardrobe is multilayered and typically challenging - this rig with dpa lavs is so clean it is like following talent with a close boom it is a delicate balance with the foamies for sure - too loose and the mic slips out. Too tight and the foamie is so compacted it loses its isolation effect and transfers all the noise
