Hi everyone, apologies in advance if this is not the right section for the post. Does anyone recommend or have any contacts of gear rental in Dakar area? Our checked-in baggage did not arrive. We have the essentials (camera, lenses, recorder, microphones, wireless, etc) but are missing things like booms, cables, accessories. Thankful for any tips.

After much consideration I have decided to not do the annual r.a.m.p.s./jwsound party at NAB this year. I am still very concerned about Covid and feel that NAB and the party specifically, could end up being a super-spreader event. For me personally, at my age and overall health, I should not be risking being involved in that sort of gathering. Hopefully by next year things will have really settled down and we will be able to gather again without any real worry. I apologize to those who were looking forward to NAB and the party.

URSA has created a YT series called "what's in your kit?" and for this new one they met with my compatriote Stéphane Bucher during his prep for Ridley Scott's next project Napoleon. I found the video quite interesting and Stephane is very generous and open about his kit and choices. His lucky sound department has a team of 6 and a large sound van to make jealous most of us I believe 😅 Particularly interesting to me are his choices to deal with long distance set (eg. Dante with back up recorder on set for the radio mikes, but wired booms with an 8 ch multipair directly to his Cantar). Really worth a look even for experienced sound mixers.

I know I'm a total novice and will probably look stupid in this group full of experts, but can anyone help with an audio related issue with my Sennheiser MKH50 P48... I have recently purchased a Sennheiser MKH50 P48. I am doing talking head work and plugging my MKH50 into a Sony XLR K3M which is connected to my Sony A7Siii. I am finding with the MKH50 that I am getting this very high pitched noise on my recordings. When I use my other XLR Microphones (I have tried two different ones) on the K3M I do not get this noise. As you can imagine I am tearing my hair out! You can listen to a sample of the noise here which is a WAV file - https://www.dropbox.com/s/lguudvie3afj…

Looks like this year the Academy has gone to just one category, Best Sound, instead of splitting it between sound mixing and sound editing. Does this mean that sound editing has been dropped altogether? BEST SOUND Belfast (Denise Yarde, Simon Chase, James Mather and Niv Adiri) Dune (Mac Ruth, Mark Mangini, Theo Green, Doug Hemphill and Ron Bartlett) No Time to Die (Simon Hayes, Oliver Tarney, James Harrison, Paul Massey and Mark Taylor) The Power of the Dog (Richard Flynn, Robert Mackenzie and Tara Webb) West Side Story (Tod A. Maitland, Gary Rydstrom, Brian Chumney, Andy Nelson and Shawn Murphy)

Started watching this doc and quickly noticed it is very sound driven over lots of repurposed video footage. Has anyone come across sound clips of some of this original footage to help give a good before and after comparison regarding the forensic cleanup? The cleanup of both video and audio seems to be very state of the art. Cant wait for the 16hr directors cut

Open Letter on Strike Authorization from Jeff Wexler I grew up in a union household. My father, Haskell Wexler, was a proud member of IATSE Local 600 for 68 years. Pop's commitment to union membership was not just shown in his belief in the common good, but also in his readiness to work for it. Pop devoted himself to many causes but none more vigorously than the 12-On-12-Off campaign he co-founded to bring awareness to the extreme dangers caused by excessive shooting hours. The 12-On-12-Off website makes this simple statement. "As human beings, we believe that every perso…

This morning, NAB put out this statement: "As we have always kept the best interest and safety of the industry as our priority, it has become apparent in the face of these challenges that we can no longer effectively host NAB Show or our co-located events, the Radio Show and Sales and Management Television Exchange, in person." Rest of the announcement: https://nabshow.com/2021/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2021/09/2021-NAB-Show-Announcement-1.pdf With luck, we can hold a JWS/RAMPS party next spring.

Welcome to Mathew Price who just joined us today. For those who do not know Mathew, and I'm sure he will post something about himself at some point, he is a veteran New York sound mixer who, amongst other things, was the mixer on all of the seasons of "The Sopranos" (one of my favorite shows of all time).

Drummer Charlie Watts, whose adept, powerful skin work propelled the Rolling Stones for more than half a century, died in London on Tuesday morning, according to his spokesperson. No cause of death was cited; he was 80. A statement from the band and Watts’ spokesperson reads: “It is with immense sadness that we announce the death of our beloved Charlie Watts. He passed away peacefully in a London hospital earlier today surrounded by his family. “Charlie was a cherished husband, father and grandfather and also a member of the Rolling Stones one of the greatest drummers of his generation.

I know, wrong group, but nevertheless... I'm currently working on a video recorder for a MoCap studio, but perhaps it could be handy for you guys as well. At the moment it can: Record video from up to 8 Blackmagick devices (A cheap BM Mini Recorder is good enough for rock 'n roll.) Take sound from another device and marry it to the video on the fly. (So no need for SDI audio embedders.) Take LTC from another device or UDP for accurate TC. Apply some effects (currently flip / rotate as I work for MoCap, but I could add LUT's or alike.) Record in 'any' codec (It's FFmpeg based), including HEVC. H264 / ProRes / HEVC have build in presets,…
