  1. Why do you hate white males? You sound like a racist. Sad. PS. Seeing that you are from Germany, you don't get to judge South Park's deeply political, thoughtful analysis of modern American society. Double PS. Seeing as I'm gender and racial fluid, your racial slurs are offensive to me. Pretty bummed to see this on this forum of all places, and this made me feel unwelcome
  2. Did you just assume my gender? This is offensive to me. Pretty bummed to see that word on this forum of all places, and this made me feel unwelcome.
  3. This should clear things up. http://southpark.cc.com/clips/254819/insanely-good-sense
  4. So there can only be one meaning for a word? I think I can name dozens if not hundreds of examples where that's not true. I can think of four for that word alone. You feel unwelcome? Oh brother. Where's the eye-rolling emoji when you need one. BTW, you must not watch South Park because anyone who has will agree that we DO live in South Park.
  5. I agree...calling yourself a soundie is pretty faggy... Please have some respect for yourself. ...and for all you snowflakes, I don't mean faggy in the gay way... it's meant in the douche' way. You know, like in South Park.
  6. "Do you record a spoken word from yourself" ? I've never heard it phrased quite that why before. Are you trying to say, "Do you slate (or voice slate) room tone/wild tracks?" Yes you do. After telling the script supervisor, write it in your report too. Room tone before or after a take, doesn't matter. Sometimes you can have the 1st AD announce that the first 15 seconds of the take will be room tone before the director says action. Wild-track probably works better after a scene/take so they have their performance fresh on their lips.
  7. You must really hate buying new cars, then.
  8. Very cool, Fred. Thanks for the tip!
  9. Yeah, I just tell them this stuff on the phone or text. 2 minute conversation and all's good. Not sure what all the over thinking is about.
  10. Shit! That guy owed me $20!
  11. Step 1 Create new folder (eg. roll#1) Step 2 Touch the mirror box on the home screen. That will take you to the 1st mirror screen. At the bottom there will be 2 boxes. You will be able to choose where you want the folder to mirror to, either DVD or Firewire. Push the box until it says Firewire. The box to the right will turn the power on/off to the Firewire. Push the box until it says ON. Step 3 On the 1st mirror screen there is a box that says Mirror Mode. Push that. This will take you to a screen where you can choose many things about your mirroring. Push the box that says Folder to Mirror. That will take you to your folder page where you can choose the folder to mirror. push that folder to highlight it. To exit this screen, push the hard Menu button. That should take you back one screen to your Mirror menu. Once you are back into that screen, look at the bottom right-hand box. That will tell you the status of your mirror drive. Oh, I forgot to tell you to plug in your FW400 drive and CF card. The Deva is picky on what cards it will work with. Call them to find out which ones. Step 4 Once you confirm that the Deva recognizes your CF card (if it doesn't, go back to the screen where you can power on/off the Firewire and turn it off for a few seconds then turn the power back on.) Push the Format button to format the CF card. Step 5 Still in the Mirror Mode screen, push the box in the lower left named Mirror Mode. There are three settings, OFF, On-CONT, and NORMAL. Cycle through until it says NORMAL. In this mode the files will mirror when you hit the stop button AFTER you've recorded something. It's the safest setting to choose from. My POS Deva will occasionally lock up the hard-drive during a recording if I'm on the ON-CONTINUALLY mirror option. That's bad news, because you will lose the file on the hard-drive after the lock-up took place. Zaxcom said they couldn't replicate it so there's nothing wrong with my machine. Funny, I can replicate it 90% of the time I've put it in that mode. Whatever. Step 6 Make sure the Deva is finished mirroring to the CF card before pulling the card out. Side note: In the Mirror screen there will be buttons that you can choose what segment # you what to start mirroring from. When you choose a new folder, that starting seg # will automatically reset to #1. It will then keep track of what segments have already been burned for you. If, on some occasion, you want to go back and burn a file from another folder, you have to choose that seg # with those buttons.
  12. Yeah, right? Now that you see it, it seems logical. That's the only thing I really liked about the pole. The features I didn't like were the foam on the bottom section, and the cable exit point at the top. Why all pole manufactures don't make that where a XLR male connector can pass through is beyond me. VDB and PSC poles have that feature and it is great! It makes replacing cables and cleaning poles a snap. No removing connectors and re-soldering required.
  13. My guess is also mag strip on 35mm Edit: Just talked to a friend who's pretty smart about this and he says it was most likely recorded on optical strip. Mag stripe didn't really begin until the early 50's.
  14. Wow, do you have more pics of this setup?
  15. .....and that's how you make a dull thread more interesting !!! thumbs up! Great Post. Interesting info. from the tests. Thanks.
  16. I was referencing the guy that posted a pic of Karl Marx and said "I'm with you comrade". Talk about misreading a post. BTW, who's "Whatshisnutz"??
  17. Fuck Communism. It has never worked and never will. You can throw socialism into that stinking shithole along with it.
  18. ...which will never happen. I've been doing this for over 30 years and haven't had anyone ask me to produce one, nor have I ever heard of anyone in our business being ask to produce one. Go figure...
