Finally a cheap and accurate Timecode slate?
johngooch replied to Christian Spaeth's topic in Equipment
Timebar is a good idea. But i will use it for the last minute request from script for a TC reader. An added plus to the tentacle Es... -
Thanks guys - All good info. We have more creative mtgs to decide further how to handle this. Good to know a loop can work. Would be a cost savings. But still would rather use open speaker.
-
Yeah...... it is going to be fun. I think it should treated as live performance - one take.. Doing pickups and additional coverage will be a nightmare. Shooting with 5 cameras so that should be possible.
-
There is spoken dialogue interspersed and and several different cuts of music that they control the cuing of. It is as if they are fighting over what is on the radio..... Still would rather not use earwigs.. I fear the fidelity not being sufficient for singing along...
-
-Few more years: non professional talent.... singing to music.... i think earwig may overwhelm them..
-
Looking at doing car scene - self drive. Mix of dialogue and playback.. RF Phonaks an option- but here is a thought... possible use an induction loop? I am guessing that the EMF and stray RF would kill it. But it has me thinking.. has anybody done this? My thought is that it could work but it would be total crap shoot... j

Good to know Glenn! Hope you are well.

Thanks Tony, I will look into getting Into possibility of getting an audioroot battery/charger.. I would not want to sacrifice metering.
-
I was looking at the PSC or Remote Audio pelican LIFE batteries with chargers built in. Separate ports for charging and DC output. I would suspect the battery metering on the k-art oils not be accurate while charging. But I think that would be ok.
-
I am guessing this would not work.... And probably a terrible idea........... But thought i would toss it out there.. What if i were to connect one of the newer pelican life batteries with built in chargers... Are they smart enough to leave plugged in and still output DC when needed? Pitfalls--- interference from charger... burning out LIFE batts from over charging... Then like your setup Tony- I would have separate AC power supply as my main source of power...
-
Thank you Tony for your quick and detailed response. From reading literature, i did not realize that there was no charging capability. But that makes sense considering weight-price-size.... I really like design, the ability to turn off individual outputs, and the metering.. I prefer using a system that performs like an UPS- constantly keeping battery charged... So not sure how this system could be adapted to supply that need....

Reviving this thread ...::: my cart dc system died today. Any further reviews of the audioroot e-smart k-art? Looks impressive . How about access to service?
-
I had one for awhile. I found the functionality of 633 blew it out of the water. It sounds great but it comes at a price, power. Very power hungry and purchased a audio GLE-12W DC-DC converter to deal with ground loops.... I wanted to pair it with my SX-R4 but it just did not complement the recorder well. Too clunky and too many cables compared to an all in one solution- 633 etc...
-
I had a Stelladat.. Never left me in a real crisis but it did inspire confidence either.. They had a sort of confidence monitoring that gave you a heads up when things were going south. I was way more cavalier then.. great preamps/ converters. Had a lot of NP-1s and ran two at a time. Bill Drucklieb worked on them and other machines. Not sure what happened since the demise of DAT.
-
I am constantly switching back and forth( trying to save back trauma ) between my 633 and 688/SL-6 setup. This requires me to continually remove/install the bottom plates of my SRs. I remember seeing awhile back some pictures of some really nice bags equipped with SRs with Uni plates installed with DB-25 connectors. I would like to have made up some breakout cables for my SRs with their uni/superslot plates so that i do not have to change plates so often. Anybody here do that? Also thinking of having joeco multipin I/O cables made up as well... thanks! j
-
not 8020...? Also i like the low profile antenna masts and attachment points to the cart. What hardware are you using to grab the antenna masts...? thank you for sharing- very slick cart. j
-
Perhaps network with other mixers and see what they are using.... always good to know who has compatibile/ backup gear in ace of disaster........

I can not take credit of this but this is what i use for wires... http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Extreme-Medium-Worm-Binder-or-Replacement-Pages/product/12042405182739/?hvarAID=shopping_googleproductextensions This thread has a wealth of good tips.

Working in lumberyard--- tons of birds nests. Of course during scout they were quiet........ And it being spring, at baby chick feeding time the chirps got really loud. Slapping pancakes worked for a bit but at a certain point the parents just got scared and pissed off so maybe the slapping of pancakes might have made things worse. It really only got much better between feedings.... or while the shooting crew was away. But with a large crew with generators and bright lights, the birds were just angry.

Reload firmware and restart using factory settings. This happened to me... it took awhile to figure out but there were other anomalies as well. Limiters activating with fader closed - weird stuff.

Breaking in Metris passenger- Driving it is a dream- visibility takes a little getting used to- plenty of space. Picked it up pre-owned with residual warranty. There are alot of deals- i think because it is not a soccer-mom car. To me it is a good replacement to eurovan- However- the seats are crazy heavy and inflexible. I can load in cart vertically thru the back and Magliner follow thru the side. Wide enough for EZ to store sideways. Needs some modifications to properly secure carts but doable.
-
Started standing, then modified my PSC cart so that i can only see monitors clearly while sitting. My feet thank me. But i did like being able to see over the cart to see the set.. but i was probably too close to set already-- different problem...

I second purcells "Dialogue editing for motion pictures: A guide to the invisible art. ". Really enlightening. However, strongly suggest the non E-book version. Some of diagrams and screen shots are too hard to see on a tablet....
-
Also part of update- Very happy about this. Seems like small thing but it is not High-Pass Filter now returns to last used value when toggled on and off rather than always reset to 150Hz.

The first film made with digitally recorded sound
johngooch replied to Toastworks's topic in General Discussion
Stelladats ran insanely hot. So I never had issue with humidity.... i had other things to worry about....
