  1. Hah! Isn't that what communicating with aliens really is though? Lfo1 modulation output going to pitch change of vco1, lfo2 output going to rate of lfo1.
  2. I imagine putting a recorder on a product at this price, might be an indicator that its range isn't great.
  3. But why can't you mic the coach?
  4. And a fine dream it is! And you're doing the best you can to your knowledge and equpiments' capabilities. It's their equipment that's not doing what they want, in my opinion. If post wants you to use a specific mixer for this particular reason, then opt for the post company or even production company to rent one for you. But I can't imagine that's going to be worth it for anyone.
  5. You could argue that Avid should be able to strip the silent channels and figure it out. To me, this seems more like an Avid issue and not an SD issue, if an issue at all...
  6. I'm proud that this document is still useful, or makes me happy (since I started it) but I just though by now someone would've made this information much more easily available than a spreadsheet online... Maybe I'm wrong
  7. Amazing to see that this is still alive. There has to be a better way or site than this document?
  8. Let's enjoy this pure moment of Senator gold.
  9. Thanks! But what I need is the thin wire between the headphones. I can sort of work with what I have and I think litz wire, some paint and flexible enough shrink tubes will get me far. But I just can't understand that these cables, or wires perhaps, are not sold in bulk. But then again there's a lot I don't understand.
  10. That's the thing, the phones I'm trying to repair are mostly 7506s, and that wire is a very specific thickness and flexibility. I've looked into litz wire as well and that seems to work, but I'd have to put a jacket on two of those wires myself, and right about there's where my competence ends. And also, any old thin wire would do, but it doesn't really suit the national public radio to go around with frankenphones, IMO Still looking!
  11. Checked it out. Thing is, there's no real store I can go to and actually see it, the only way is through the internet and potentially order the wrong product over and over.. Very frustrating.
  12. Thanks! And I’ve thought about this myself, that I can just take any wine. Right now I’m repurposing these tiny cables from other headphones, where the plastic has broken straight off but all the cabling is intact. Works. But for the most part, these cables have to small enough and flexible enough to fit in all the special little nooks and crannies of the headphones. I’m sure I can find what I need, but I find scrolling through the internet looking at pictures a bit hard; not one of the cables I find actually look like the cables I want, and that makes me think that I’ll just end up ordering the wrong cables. So my dream scenario would just be that someone knew right away what these wires are called and where to order them
  13. Hello gang! I'm sorry if this has been covered already, I searched and found nothing. So, I work in radio on national public radio. We have a bunch of dead headphones, mostly due to broken wires inside the headphones, not the cable. I'm talking about the wire that go between the cups. It's a two core cable, where the wires are red and another color. And they're super thin. The jacket is hardly a mm (bear with me, I'm European) in width, and inside the jacket sits two even thinner wires. I think you know what I mean. Can you buy these cables in length? I'd gladly buy a mile of it if I could find it. My thinking is that the tax payers shouldn't have to buy new super expensive headphones because of a broken cable that theoretically is an easy fix.
  14. I think it's not going to be long before this tech can be used in our business, surely. But it won't replace ADR entirely, because really, that's what it could potentially replace or apply to. Someone still has to record the voice on set. Think of it in terms of how CGI is used. You can do pretty much anything with CGI these days. Dead actor? No problem. But if you look at it long enough you're gonna see that it's an animated, dead, human. Uncanny valley. The same principle will probably apply to voice replacement. It will be a tool that will be useful for certain words here or there. That's what I think and hope. And also, these examples are all studio recordings without a picture. AI will probably never be able to synthesize background noise and speech at the same time, and also sync to lips and emotion. But time will tell. By then though, digital actors will probably be more of an issue, but not for us as sound mixers.
  15. Don't know. But probably they're mixing. Not sure when it's mouth or why, but I remember it being like when it's explosions or engineer related stuff, engines.. Definitely the metal isn't voice. The movie goes in and out of fantasy and reality a lot so maybe the mouth sounds are a representation of like fantasy and unreal things and that there's an unclear distinction between the two worlds for the main character. It's a cool concept.
  16. Not sure if there isn't already a thread about this, but what the hey.. Here goes : The film that wanted me starting with sound in the first place without me really noticing was probably THX1138. I had seen American Graffiti and loved the way it played (back then I wasn't aware of sound design really, even though I was quite into music and composing, probably knew it instinctively..) and so I was just curious what George Lucas had done before that, so I saw thx1138 and was just floored with the sound design. I haven't dared to see it again, I want that memory.. But in my mind the movie isn't all that great in itself, but it's the aesthetics. The images and sound are kind of apart in a way. It just spoke to me I guess. Can't point to a specific scene.. But there's one sound I remember that I also remember Walter Murch talking about. In the end of the movie there's a motorcycle chase scene (?) and the bad guys' motorcycle has the sound of women screaming instead of an engine, or maybe it's the car... Can't remember. https://youtu.be/J5nmxHjPuvY
  17. Freddan! Skriver till dig på messenger On my radio station we daily use iPhone to broadcast audio with. Often times we just use the built in mic, but we do have some iRig devices we use for using other mics. For simultaneously charging and using a device it's been tricky. The two lightning ports doesn't actually work. One port is for charging and the other can carry audio both ways, so if you want to use a charger AND am iRig device that won't help. You could solder an unbalanced cable that does the trick, I've done a lot of them and they work, but not great. They work with the lightning dongle as well. The thing is that it's a very flimsy setup no matter how you look at it. The one solution we did find just the other day is using a Qi charging pad. That way you're free to use the lightning port with a real audio interface instead of that cable. There are powerbanks with qi pads on them. So my suggestion is you use a Qi powerbank and an irig device to get a good level that you can also control. Our a pro line device like an m2d2, but the irig ones are readily available.
  18. Awesome! I came to think about a Hayao Miyazaki film, the last one he did, The Wind Rises, where all the machines and explosions basically are created by mouth. Kinda inspiring. https://youtu.be/vh57zcmI3WQ
  19. Again, I'd buy an actual tumbleweed if it had a Lectrosonics logo. Just saying
  20. Now I think I know what the trouble is.. So my way of reading is just going through the forums. Usually I’m on my iPhone using safari, which was the case when I wrote the post. Now on my iPad I can see the buttons clear as day, but they’re not on my iPhone. Don’t know if that helps. The first image is from the iPhone and the second is from the iPad.
  21. Great work, Jeff! I'm missing one function.. On the top of each forum there used to be a button saying Mark Read, which does what it says, marks all the topics in the forum you're currently reading as read. Right now there's a button in the same position as the old one saying "mark site as read " which also does what it says, IE marks the whole site and all the forums and topics as read. I might have missed something in the new design, or I'm just too early in pointing this out, but that mark forum as read button is missing for me. Edit: there's actually a mark forum as read button on the bottom of each forum, but it used to be both at the top and the bottom of each forum. And also not a very big deal. If I'm in a forum that I want to mark read I can just back out to the forum list and click the speech bubble beside the forum to mark that forum as read, so really not a big deal.
  22. Reaper could do all of what you need, too. It's not free, but you can evaluate for a very long time until you realise that it's wonderful and you could pay anything for it but it's still only $200 or $60, depending on usage.
