SoundInTexas Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hey all, I will be taking a 6 day trip to Big Bend in Texas and I plan on recording some ambiences while I'm there. I curious what setup will be better, my 552 or my mix pre d/744t combo. i will have 2 schoeps cmc's on a stereo bar of sorts. I will have access to solar charging but I'm concerned about the power hog 744t. I'm really interested in getting some very hi res recordings (Im thinking digital out of the mix pre d and 192k/24b) Does anyone have experience with this sorta setup/recording? Tips/Advice?

studiomprd Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 " I curious what setup will be better, " that is difficult to say... what do you mean by better ? actually, it is subjective, and completely up to you. " Does anyone have experience with this sorta setup/recording? " yes, of course. " some very hi res recordings " even a zoom does that!

soundslikejustin Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 744T, straight into its mic pres. If you're worried about power, get an additional external source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonG Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Recording into either machine will sound the same, its up to you which one has the "better" work flow in your eyes. To me, the defining factor would be sample rate ability. Which machine can record at the highest sample rate? I think that would be your answer. If I were to go out and make recordings, not mixes, I'd probably bring a recorder, and not a mixer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just add 'studiomprd' and you won't see anymore troll comments. The problem with that is when he sticks to the subject and imparts knowledge he has a heck of a lot to offer. There's a lot of information in that crusty old head of his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petersont Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 your 744t, hands down: the 744t preamps sound great and if just the 2 ch / stereo set up, leave the mixpre at home so a perfect, lightweight, compact stereo kit w/ only 2 xlr cables to mess with. Add a small manfrotto nano light stand and some good wind protection - ready to record in seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
