    I'm a location sound mixer doing work mainly for television. I have many questions.
  1. Update First off, thank you for your thoughts and advice. Turned out to be a bent pin on the lemo. All is golden now. Thanks again.
  2. Hi everyone, Trying to send TC with my 664 to Epic. DP didn't have cable, tracked one down. Still can't get it to recognize my TC. Read threads related on here, project menu TOD, external brain, yet no indication. Anyone with a 664 have any thoughts? Thank you for your help.
  3. Alrighty then. Many thanks to those of you who took the time to share your knowledge. My apologies for not being more clear in my original post. I do have ample experience with production sound (but not the 20-30 years knowledge base of many other professionals I know) but have none with live sound, and saying 8 speakers in regards to a PA situation is obviously confusing. Advice given was spot on. "We also need a hand-held mic" and the feedback fun did indeed come to fruition. I explained to the producer before-hand these concerns and to get a PA pro to take care of it. Also the advice on how to get burned by 788 ala pre/post fade recording mixing was very helpful. Auto-mix would have been wonderful, except it was in an expansive hall (even though our area was a small 40 seat cordoned off area) and the din of revelers kept the mics open. Many hours logged with the manual were well worth it, and after using the Nomad 8 and 788T in back to back weeks my 552 looks like the old pair of shoes in the closet. Anyhow, much respect to the live sound people out there. And much gratitude to those of you who took the time to share your insight, what I think this sound community should be all about. Cheers, Alex
  4. Let me clarify something real quick. By newbie I mean I've been doing this for 7 years, not 35. I own a 552 and yadda yadda and have plenty of amazing national clients. I took on a job as a favor for a friend who had to bail at the last minute, with gear and a scenario I'm not familiar with. I'm up for the challenge. Forgive me for asking a simple question. To those of you who are too cool to remember not knowing every little esoteric thing I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you with my simpleton question. To the others who have taken the time to answer in a thoughtful constructive way, thank you, I really appreciate your time and patience, you represent what this board should be about. And yes for the last 3 days I've been RTFM.
  5. Wielage and Sharman, thanks for being helpful. It is 8 seperate people on a panel speaking to an audience. Thanks again for your constructive comments.
  6. Newbie needs some help. Have been asked to hardwire 8 speakers. Scratch track to camera. Producer just informed me I need to also send mics to PA system. I have never used 788. Picking it up from rental house tomorrow. Is this possible? What's the best way.
