  9. Mike's Sound Cart Build

    in Do It Yourself

    Posted

    " I'm big fan for colored carts! "

    one of my mentors had this motto displayed on his cart:

    "High Quality, High Output, Low Profile"

    Paint it with Green Screen color.

    This give you little distance from the actors.

    No boom. No lavaliers. Only dynamic microphones.

    High Quality, High Output and you are looking fabulous with green color.

    ;D

  12. Lightweight bags

    in Equipment

    Posted

    With my Kata bag holding 302 + two 411 RXs + Zaxcom hop kit, I could pretty easily put the NP-1 under the mixer. I would get two days with that setup. If I'm striving for the smallest kit, it is excess battery. That bag doesn't have the battery belly pouch, so I never felt like the full sized NP1 was too much of a hassle. If I was using the newer little Petrol bags, I would source something else.

    Two days! That's brilliant!

  17. Audio Rates Vs Hair and Makeup Rates

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    There are lots of positions on set. Some make more than I do, some make less. They picked their careers, I picked mine. Hair and makeup have headaches that I don't have and vice versa. One of my recipes for a happy life is not to worry too much about what others have, I just worry about me and mine.

  18. SRa gain staging/metering

    in Equipment

    Posted

    Sorry if I was unclear. I wasn't trying to consult a manual on how to do my job. I was merely referring to the lack of markings for the meters on the SRa. For comparison, when I run -20dB tone through a tx and to a 411a, I can clearly see whether the meter is hitting the -20 mark on the outer rim of the display. The SRa has no such markings.

    Regarding the -4dB output on the 788: I generally attenuate my output to camera by a few dB to avoid hitting the cameras limiters when things get loud. I find that any limiting that may occur is best left to the 788.

    Not sure what you meant by my "red line". Were you referring to how hot I'm mixing to the tx's? Or how I'm judging what's "too hot" on the SRa?

    As for the camera, it doesn't really enter into this equation, as my issues are happening before I hit camera. If you must know though, it was a Sony FX100.

    Thanks for responding. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm working with the same client next week and want to make sure I've got this sorted beforehand.

    1: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/1563.pdf (page 73). Must see about Audio Limit. ;)

    2: What output type use for Tx? Unbalanced (5/6 output) or the TA3 (1,2,3,4 output)?

    3: I believe cover me the Larry F, Rado Stefanov and Marc Wielage.

    Sorry for late response.

  19. SRa gain staging/metering

    in Equipment

    Posted

    I left the gain of the 788 output at -4dB and set both the tx's and rx gain to zero.

    When I did this, I noticed that the metering on the SRa seemed really hot, while the meters on the tx's were barely hitting above -20.

    Of course you didn't found anything in manual because the manual is not the manual

    for the sound mixer job.

    Thirst of all. Why to left the gain from 788T to -4dB?

    My two questions is about your "red" line.

    And my third question is about "what camera".

    Help me to answer you.

    :)

    Off topic, I'm sorry for that.

    But I don't want to create new Topic for one question.

    Petrol Bags site is in the "air"?

    Because today I can't view the site: www.petrolbags.com

    "Not Found" and Error 404.

    I'm tried in Mozilla, Chrome and Internet Explorer but not work!

    Thank you very much, Ευχαριστώ πολύ
