afewmoreyears Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 I was wondering if anybody else is interested in having the nice folks at Sound Devices implement a function (if feasible) where you may choose an output, say X1, and have it mute the output when you are in stop mode...when you press record, it would automatically pass the audio out the X1 output.... This with my workflow would be a GREAT addition to a wonderful recorder.. I know there are "other ways" but this would really be nice.... I dislike using the output pot to kill the send...(I sometimes forget) and I also would rather not have to put a mic on my boom op.. If there IS interest, PLEASE email or let Sound Devices know... They said if it's possible, and they get interest, they may be able to swing it... So.,contact them.... Comments?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Cool idea, the "kill the client feed" mode. Would be great to have this be automatic for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Ear Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 That would be a nice feature. I think there are several features that could be tied to the transport, like auto selecting hp presets, muting and unmuting a client feed, etc. It would be a nice way to automate some of the monotonous tasks in our day that sometimes get forgotten.

Olle Sjostrom Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 I've requested this for years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantin Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 I would love that. And in playback, too, so if I want to check a take, no-one else has to listen in. Although it would be helpful if that feature could also be disabled with a shortcut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jozzafunk Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 it's in the menu - playback to headphones only - not very convenient tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 We're not talking about playback but "e to e" monitor being shut down any time the transport isn't "rolling"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Foy Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Yes, an Auto 'Kill the Client Feed' option would be an enormously useful feature on the 788 too !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyrnxG Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 +1. Make it happen SD wizards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Certainly a good idea. I use the X2 pot to feed the comteks and it's an ok work around if I remember to turn it back up. I'd like to have the kill function on the user buttons personally. They light up and it would be easy to see when engaged. On another note, the wingman app and dongle are great upgrades to the system. Thanks SD CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkautzsch Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Yes, "Auto Mute Output" functionality would be great. Even if it applies to only, say, Output 1. PLEEEASE... A more sophisticated option: having two different output sources available, like "Input 1" in STOP and "Tracks LR" in REC - similar to the HP source that can switch on PLAY. You could have the boom in the comteks during rehearsal so they don't complain it wasn't working, but they wouldn't hear any lavs. You could even feed music to an input not routed to any recording tracks.

Thanks SD CrewC Thats funny Crew, even if the button lights up and jumps up and down, I will probably forget to open it up once in a hundred times... My eyes and auto motor reflex actions sometimes have me in auto pilot... LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
