I ordered a Nomad 4 channel recorder through B&H Photo and was told 10 weeks wait time. When the 10 weeks were up I emailed B&H to see what was up and they were told by a Zaxcom rep wait another 10 weeks. So when that 10 weeks was up I emailed again. This time I was told the order was cancelled. Wow, I got a full refund through B&H within 1 day so props to them for that but in the 20 weeks I waited with my money tied up in the Nomad I had to use a cheap recorder for a ton of projects. Disappointing but I'm glad I got my money back so I could get a decent recorder. Anyone heard of this happening to others?

Hi, Jeff I really like the new look for the board. I find it much easier on the eyes. Thanks for taking the time to implement it. Best regards, Jim

I've been thinking of this issue for awhile but was spurred to write by a recent series of posts on the topic of a good rental source in London. Faced with a last-minute booking, Nicholas (nhaudio) asked for recommendations of places to rent gear in London. Mike MIchaels immediately posted this response: very recently discussed... try some searching... Probably true but not very helpful to someone seeking help in a time-sensitive situation. Many posts seem to run to a pattern where similar issues will come up again and again but the person making the inquiry isn't skilled at finding the threads and simply asks the question anew. I think the site migh…

Jeff i have to tell you rigth now that your site is perfect and i love it. Maybe i m going a little over my head, but had to ask, have you ever thought of making a jwsound for people who speak spanish? I m just asking this because maybe we could have a more "localized" section? I know that if each one of us starts asking for you to open a section of our language, you would drive crazy. But cant help to think that more often than not, i feel i know more terms of sound in English than my own language. Also feel i know more sound people from the states than from around South America. Our reality is quite different, and some topics would be more representative. I…

Hi Jeff, I posted last Saturday in I think it was 'current' as I was looking for some help in the SF area that day. I got two replies, but they were too late. Might it be worth one new forum on the system, for things that are of an urgent/sos nature? Just a thought..... Kindest regards from Moss Landing, near monterey... off to SF tomorrow - what should I take my lovely wife to see? We have just Friday I believe.... Kindest, sb

Seems like this week I'm seeing way fewer posts on JWS. And it seems that when I click on "View New Content" in the upper-right of the main page, I don't always get all the new content. The problem might be "between seat and keyboard" as my IT friends say. But has anyone else felt that they aren't seeing all the new content on JWS during a daily (or 2X/day visit)? Or is it just a slow week on the board (and hopefully a busy work week for everyone)? Best -Jim

Not sure if others are running into this, it is happening both on my computer and phone, multiple browsers tested... I’ve noticed over the past day or so that only new posts are being added to the forum view, and new comments aren’t added to the count or bumping the post up. The activity feed is current but as far as I can tell the forums aren’t keeping up. anyone else seeing this? Also, this post got an error when posting, code EXO. That would also explain the other recent multiple post issues

I see you've been tweaking still, and I understand what you're doing. I just noticed a few things that jumped out with my profile. At one point my Picture, that shows to the left, was the size of the actual picture. Now, it's been letterboxed. Was this intentional? I'm not a fan of letterboxing and was hoping to have the real aspect ratio be used, which is why I choose that format. Anyway to get this back? Also, for some reason my "location" now shows up and I don't see the option to remove it, and don't ever remember setting this. Seems to be only on my profile. While I'm at it, why the "Members" and three dots, below the picture? What does that mean?

Hey Jeff--I'm still getting the posts in reverse order. Tonight on the "what's the most important piece of gear" thread your original post was @ the bottom of p3, and Palmer's most recent one was @ the top of p1. Is there a setting I changed that is causing this? thanks Philip Perkins

Jeff, I just noticed this heading. Is it a new addition? No posts yet so it can't be too old. IMHO, I'd think it has huge potential to evolve into a really active and valuable category. Any thoughts for direction, relevant material, posting guidelines, etc.? EB

Jeff, Would it be a good idea to have a section where people could talk about their work (challenges, approach to problemss, use of gear, etc.) on shows that are currently in production? There is a site on cinematography that has this kind of section. Contributions come from members of the ASC working on feature films to people making television commercials and music videos to cinematographers working on low-budget shorts. On the site that I am thinking about, stills are often posted to explain lighting setups, etc. The same could be done for sound clips. Any point in doing this for sound? As an aside, given your post about Don Coufall's lecture, could it…

I try to check daily on this board, and often I'm really interested in the trends of what's posted chronologically so I always check the recent posts list. Is there any way to list more on this list? Maybe last 50 posts or something? Dan Izen

Occasionally, not all the time, when I click on view new content and I go to a topic that I've already viewed it will take me to the top of that topic and not to the 1st unread message. Though I get a box at the top of the that if I click will take me to unread post? Also it seems like I can no longer have any options to change the way I view the board. Jeff did you take that away?

Jeff, Watching "The Family Stone" right now. Did you do any acoustic treatment while on those Interior shots?. Doesn't seem to have a lot of echo in the dialog. Can I also assume this is a Tour De Schoeps mic choice?? Thanks, Mark L

This is something I've enjoyed in other forums and have wished it were here for years. When I click on a thread with unread replies, it would be great to be taken directly to there, instead of the beginning of the whole thread. I have tendinitis from a computer job in the 90s and my thumbs do not enjoy all the scrolling around at all. This would save so much of that it's silly. In fact I've gone months without logging in because of it. I realize this might be a heap of code and also that online forums are somewhat antiquated so it may not make sense to invest in this. I am not on social media so I will be here to the end, and I would love save all that scroll…

Hi Jeff, When I log on , I normally click straight to the 'Show New Posts Since last visit' link, where there always 10 or so at least. The last few days there have been none. Is no-one posting, or is there an issue? Best Regards Roger Slater Malvern UK

First of all, let me thank you for this invaluable blog. Great information, and nice people all around. I am a relatively new user and already find myself on here daily. I was hoping you could give me some names of audio post studios and hopefully contact names. I have just been hired as Executive Director of Audio Production for a new company called Palmera Pictures. We are based out of the Dominican Republic and are starting to build a full service Post Production Facility inside the country's premiere and most exclusive resort. In a nutshell, we will have complete Animation and Visual FX facilities and Full service Audio Post production studios. The i…
