Reading the "Wet" thread, I thought that this new Rycote rain product might be of interest to the group. It is designed for more static applications than booming but, I am sure it could be adapted by closing the end somehow before mounting it on a pole. $130.00 retail. http://www.rycote.com/products/accessories/duck/ Steve J.

Hello everyone, I am planning a major rework of the user interface of Boom Recorder. How does one feel about me separating the tape transport, metadata and meter bridge into three windows. I want to do this, so I can make Boom Recorder into a video recorder as well. It would be more logical to have a meter bridge and a video window at the same time. But not everyone needs a meter bridge, not everyone needs a video window, and some need both. I've been talking to a producer about what is happening on the set with metadata. Especially interesting is that, on a low budget film at least, the script supervisor already is doing all the metadata reporting including wha…

Hello everyone! Just a quick note to let you know our new website has finally launched. The focus here is a streamlined approach to researching and ordering pro audio equipment online. I've implemented a couple cool features that I don't believe other companies offer - such as a custom boom kit configurator, an expendables configurator (just to speed up the whole process), an interactive photo gallery - which will be populated VERY soon with all of John Coffey's personal photos on set over the years - and a rental request form. Please note: we still have hundreds of items to add, some bugs to fix and several other tweaks which will happen over the next few weeks. But we'r…

Hi Take, Was using Boom Recorder today and had something come up that I would love to see changed. We had real confusion with the scripty today and the scene numbers weren't being called out correctly. I kept having to adjust, sometimes in mid-take. One time (not exactly sure what the sequence of events was) I ended up entering a duplicate scene and take number. When I stopped recording, BR correctly informed me that the file already existed, and that the recording was being aborted, resulting in a lost take. Would it be possible in that situation to prompt the user to rename the file rather than just abort the recording? BTW, I love the feature where you ren…

we just added some new mics in rental, from HEIL sound. Very nice sounding dynamic mics for sound effects (gun fire, race car engines, tanks, etc) voice over work, broadcast radio etc. there is the PR-20 for Vocals or instruments. (think SM58, but much cleaner) the PR-30 (think EV RE-20) then the PR-40 (similiar to U87) for a fraction of the cost. got a rental back yesterday from a fellow who was using them to mic M-16's and an assortment of assault rifles and guns. he loved the mics sound and they handled the high spl from a few feet away. if you ever need to record any gunfire and dont want to damage your thousand dollor mics, try the heil mics out. the pri…

Hello everyone, I have been working a little bit on the new version of Boom Recorder. Someone who uses MADI had asked me for complete input and output routing and mixing. In this new version it is possible to assign one or more inputs for each channel, and attenuating each assignment separately. Setting the attenuation level is currently only possible using AppleScript. Currently attenuation can changed with increments of 1 dB, between 0 and 254 dB. Is this accurate enough for mixing? Cheers, Take

When do you think SD will come up with mirroring, is there a time frame? Is someone working on this? They make nice machines but they seem pretty impractical until you can mirror. Fishing for clues. Larry

Hello everyone, I have a customer who uses an Intel mac with Boom Recorder. When he records with "Core Audio Format (.caf)" Boom Recorder crashes at the end of the recording. Could someone with a Intel mac try this and see if it crashes for you as well? I've been looking at this problem for some time now, and I can not find the cause of the problem. The problem does not appear when running Boom Recorder in Rosetta. I would like to know if this problem is systematic for all Intel Macs or only on his setup. Cheers, Take

Zaxcom recording wireless now shipping

- 1.5k views
Our beta testing of recording wireless is now over and we are shipping the released product. The TRX900 digital recording wireless now records audio on a 2.0gig mini SD card and provides 12 hours of uncompressed recording. The units record in a loop providing time code referenced access to the last 12 hours of recorded audio. Any bit of audio can be transferred from any location on the card. The file system is FAT32 so that PCs and MACs can both transfer audio. Zax file utilities are available for both platforms. The file system is based on Zaxcom MARF that is audio centric and totally fault tolerant. Memory cards can be physically removed or the TRX900 can be powered dow…

Hello, A rep. is coming by the shop today with a motorized magliner. I was just reading the battery choices everyone is using, and realized how heavy some of the sound carts are and the utility carts sas well. apparently there is a motor by the wheel base (more info later,after we see it) that with a finger control at the handle can easily move the cart from set up to setup and on the truck at wrap. probably the 3rd will like this concept better, but you never know. I will have a web link lkater if anyone cares. thanks, great info guys, I feel what LL is talking about. nice posts everyone. thanks again.

Hello everyone, I am planning on releasing Boom Recorder version 6 this weekend, after doing some test to see if everything works as expected and seem to be stable using my system. The new version will include a couple of new time sources, including time-of-day, which a lot of people seem to be waiting for (weird how such a request come from multiple customers at the same time). An other feature was created by cleaning up some of the ring buffer code, Boom Recorder will now keep the pre record buffer, even during playback. This cleanup also solves some issues with the recording indicator, which sometimes was flickering off and on during recording, which does not instil…

Hello everyone, I made a lot of changes in the core of this version, which is why I updated the major version number. I moved the timecode decoder to a separate file, in case I want to use it for an other project. I also changed the ring buffer handler so that It is more simpler, this also caused the ring buffer to keep a pre-record buffer even during playback. I also fixed the ring buffer view for this state (pre-record buffer + playback) and fixed the glitches in this view as well, it shouldn't be flickering anymore. I also added new timecode sources, as many people have been asking for time-of-day. I tried to be as accurate as possible, time-of-day is converte…
