DecentSound

If this sounds incorrect then possibly my mirror card was faulty. I'm still waiting for the card to mirror. Immediately after creating sound report and turning mirroring back on which was on continuous all day, it said 30 gig available (32gig card) and started mirroring from file one.

So at the end of the day I hit create sound report then I had to mirror every file again that I had recorded which takes way to long and inefficient. I'd like to know how to get wav files with track names and take names to media manager at the end of the day a lot quicker. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Forward from a producer I've worked with in the past, I have no affiliation with this but figured I'd help him out. "Need Canadian audio person to work in Nova Scotia, beginning in 9 days, for a new 6-ep series on a popular cable network for a successful and established production company. Outdoor work, some mosquitoes, some noisy equipment nearby, and a once-in-a-lifetime experience that even President Roosevelt and John Wayne wanted part of. CANADIAN AUDIO ONLY!! Please send resumes to michael.piscitelli@prometheuspix.com Thank you!"

Copy that. I actually intuitively did this and even glanced at the manual but couldn't get it to work. Apparently my slate is dis functional as it will not work. Thanks for the replies tho.

I'm sure someone has asked this and the answer exists somewhere but I just wanted to ask. I'm trying to verbally slate with the Nomad and I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ideally I would hear it in my cans and it would lay down on the track as well for the editors or to communicate with cam op or producers via IFB. Thanks!

Position filled. Thanks.

I'm working a show doomsday preppers and they added some pickup days I can't make. This Thursday and Saturday. Decent rate and rental. PM if you're available. Thanks!

Anyone point me in the right direction. I did it before and totally forget how. Not the biggest deal but I'd rather have the date be right. Thanks.

Well shucks, I was going to shoot my feature on an iPhone 5 but I guess I may have to rethink that.

Figured I would at least entertain a post on here. I'm based in Los Angeles but currently working in Dallas, TX for a Discovery show called Fast N Loud mixing sound. I'm originally from the Pittsburgh, PA area and I'm looking to make my way back there...if I could find work. I own a lot of gear, I also have experience with camera and lighting as a lot of the shows I've worked on have been small crews and I've been eager to learn all I can about Film and Television. My resume is available at http://www.mikehaldin.webs.com PM me if anyone is looking for a sound mixer in the Pittsburgh area. Thanks all!

Why not just use a multitrack, scrap the hops, jam the TC, get a TC slate, keep the onboard 60's and call it a day?

I don't have a pic to show but if it's a petrol bag with handles you can hang the front handle on the knob of a C-stand and you can even raise the first stage of the stand up, extend the boom pole and rest it on one of the knob's for non run and gun dialogue. You'll save your back and it's fairly mobile. I always carry a c-stand with me and use this technique a lot.

@Matthew Freed tried one on a few months back just goofing around. I don't remember exactly how it worked out, he could give some more details. It was a bit cumbersome and bulky and I'm not sure the best for tight spaces. I do remember that it's a decent idea but all the easy (girly) rigs are designed for camera and possibly with the right design and execution, a sound easy rig could work.

+1 Boom. No clothes rustle, hassle or awkward wiring of ladies in dresses or guys in extremely starched shirts.
