Not Chilli Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Howdy fellow sound peeps! I figured i will get the ball rolling with a topic about the 633 and the CL-12 and what we want and what we think! I am about to buy one and saw that it doesnt have an EQ which i assume is a hardware limitation but i am happy to be corrected! But otherwise it looks dam sweet! Will try and give feedback once i start using it and feel free to bump this to another form if its been talked about as i couldn't find anything as of yet. Cheers, Piotr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 The CL 12 can control the EQ on the 688. Not sure it is so w the 633. CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Chilli Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Yeah the eq definitely not currently available for the 633 and the 664. But I wonder if in the future it might be a thing or if the hardware is just not able? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afewmoreyears Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 It is not a deal breaker... by any means.... If you do end up getting a 688 you can use that and then keep the 633 for bag use and as a quick replacement for the 688 if that should ever in any way need a swap out..

I think it's pretty great that SD decided to figure out a way for the earlier 6xx machines to use the CL12, even if the use is limited by those recorders.

Matt Radlauer Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I spent the day using the CL12 with my 633. It wasn't a big shoot.. Talking head reading a prompter so I thought it was a good way to break it in! I have to say, its pretty damn awesome. I don't have a 688, only a 664 and 633 so I am not really "missing" any of the features of the 688 yet! It was nice mixing with faders and I didn't have bring out the Cooper with all the wires etc. CL12 is not heavy and fit on my rock n roller cart with my 633 in the orca bag right in front of it..i had a company move and had to move at the 2nd location and it was quick tear down and setup. Using it tomorrow with the 664, venue etc on a little bigger shoot.. see how it goes!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Chilli Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Just got it hooked up today and am pretty pumped to give it a proper test on a shoot I am doing in a few days. I will one day get the 688 but it feels awesome to finally be able to mix all 6 tracks without performing some kind of finger acrobatics!

daniel Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 When using the CL12 with 633 can the remaining 6 faders (not used for I/Ps) be assigned to other duties like O/Ps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPSharman Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 That would be cool, if extra faders could be designated for the outputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also be cool if CL12 gave 633 'mix-assist' functionality. Probably neither of these suggestions are possible though :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonam Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Faders can't give 'mix-assist' functionality as the term goes, but more faders can certainly 'assist' your mix... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
