Asked to bid on a video shoot. Recording multitrack as the bands play live to video (3 camera). Much like the "Sun Studio Sessions" or "ACL". I have a studio friend who records live bands with a laptop PC based software (not sure what) and a Behringer X32, I would provide the timecode with my 664 and feed to him, which he would put on a track. But I'm thinking of going the Boom Recorder (BR) with a Mackie Onyx 1640i mixer route. These are 'Bro' Country bands -all 4 piece with a singer or 2 so I should be fine with 16ch. 6 bands performing 1 song each. I deliver BWAV files the record label will do the post work. 99.999% of my work is Film -Television and video …

Gday, Sorry for the probably dumb question but I am trying to work out if it is possible to go AES out of my SD702t into the AES (XLR) inputs of my Lynx Aurora 8 to basically see if I can use the 702 at pres for my studio when needed but im getting lost in the SD manual is it just referring to +4 and -10 with the pro and consumer settings? thanks and sorry again for the dumb question.

I saw this in another post and rather than hijacking that one I thought it might be better to start a new topic. Apologies if you feel I was wrong in that assumption. Anyway, I've wanted to use my 702T in the same way. It only has 2 channels so SPDIF should work right? What cable/adaptors do I need to make this work? I have a Hosa Digital-Transfer Coax cable which has the RCA-style ends. (male on both ends). Do I just need a BNC to female RCA? I want this to go into the SPIDF input on my 002. Last question: am I limited to 48k/24bit/stereo? Or can I do 96k/24bit/mono? Thanks!

Given the constraints, I've always been impressed with iOS audio compared to the competition in the same category (I suppose that could be Tom Holman's influence?) Anyway, with the Lightning connector being all digital audio, we're now seeing digital mics from the likes of Apogee, IK and Rode. IK also has a Lightning pre-amp that supplies phantom power to a XLR mic. All these products cost less than £200 each, so that probably says something about the A/D conversion. But given the law of diminishing returns and the economies of scale this is a category that I suspect will grow over time (at least until iOS and/or Lightning becomes obsolete - 10 years perhaps?). …

For some years I've used the BWF Timecoder mac application by One-N Corp to create audio timecode tracks in ProTools to use in on-set playback. It was much easier than the various hardware methods of creating a recorded timecode track to match session timecode. This audio file could be re-imported into the session for easy play-out to a slate without needing Sync hardware on set. Unfortunately this software hasn't been updated for quite a while and won't even install on Mac's running Mountain Lion or Mavericks. Is anyone here aware of something current for mac, that does the same job? cheers, nick

Hi all, Is anyone here running Boom Recorder 8.2 or 8.3 on Mavericks? If so, how's it going? A colleague has a new rig he can't 'back-grade'.

I just discovered this fabulous iPad app, V-Control Pro from Neyrinck and it's only $50. Apologies if this has already been covered here. I can open any Pro Tools Session and control it from my iPad, adjust individual channels, groups and more. I'm really loving it. http://youtu.be/978LhiLqqQI

Greetings everyone, I had a Catastrophic fail on my Boom Recorder and Yamaha 01v96i fail last week, and I can't even begin to diagnose the troubles. First hour on set for the day, no troubles, no issues, everything working fine. Hour 3 now, and I noticed the Time Code on BR, going on and off once. So, I check the ISOs, and there is some distortion on the files. By Hour 5, I noticed the TC now just completely off and not being read by BR. So, I check the ISOs, and there's a lot more distortion now.. degrading as time goes by. I had to crap can the whole RB set up, and scramble to get a 788 put in place instead. Here's a sample file. I edited and sa…

<p>Sound devices,<br /> <br /> So I was doing a corporate gig and it was an interview with a woman, simple setup boom and lav.<br /> We shot around 8 hours and we did 10 scenes, the 744 was recording as usual until scene 5, what I mean is that the files on the hdd where perfect and from scene 5 on, all the files are between 3mb and. 20 mb. While the first takes where around 150mb.<br /> The recorder indicated I was recording on the hdd but it was slow on the CF, I couldn't stop the take, so we kept rolling with the 744 indicating recording on the hdd<br /> My surprise came when I handed the files, the editor called me in stati…

Hey! new to the site with a couple interesting question (that might interest both music producers and direct sound audiovisual recorders) As my love and effort also goes to music, it'd be ideal to use this equipment in a music context too, to be able to manage this pre-amps from a computer. (1st question: Do you know any mixer/recorder that is also an audio interface? doubt that exists but you never know..) / 2nd question: Do you know any audio interface that has 8 digital inputs?) Another choice would be to do some A/D . D/A (from mic to ZAXCOM) and then again A/D (from ZAXCOM to audio interface) thinking that might mean some quality loss.. 3rd and most important quest…

Premiere Pro 6 + Sennheiser Shotgun + FW Motu Ultralight = Voiceover Direct to Sequence?

Hello! I have been trying to get Premiere Pro 6 to recognize a Firewire mic input without success. Someone who put up a tutorial on getting Premiere to recognize his USB mic told me that with proper drivers this shouldn't be a problem, but Adobe says these FW mics are not supported. Does anyone know of a workaround? We have the Sennheiser shotgun and don't want to downgrade quality, but simply cannot get the Sennheiser to show in Audio Hardware. Any ideas? Thanks so much! Best, Alex

Hi, I have had a few customers where an audio edit application would corrupt Boom Recorder audio files during import. Always make a copy of audio files before importing them into any application. The audio edit application would move the audio in the file to earlier as it created a shorter audio header. If the audio edit application would crash or the import would fail half way through this process, the audio file would get corrupt. The header would be incorrect and therefor audio applications are not able to read in the file anymore. Also the audio in the file would get chopped up half way through and the two audio segments may also have a different align…

Anyone Using MOTU MicroBook II Link Here Hi I was looking to buy an Audio interface for my PC. This too is an all new endeavor for me. I was hoping to hear from some of the fine folks here about this topic. I want to hook a standard Condenser MIC which requires 48V Phantom Power to my PC. So what do you use to send MIC signals to your PC? Have you use or have you heard of the MOTU Microbook II? If so what are your thoughts? If no what are your thoughts? In my book, there is always room for information about alternative solutions. I am never against saving a few bucks as long as the quality isn't being negated. (I know you get what you pay …

Not A location sound question but I know some of you work in studios. I'm recording a studio album and thinking through best work flow. Haven't gotten an answer on other forums. Comp A is recording Drums with Cubase and a analogue stereo track from comp B Comp B is used as an "Ableton Instrument" and We'd like to record the automation with in those tracks. Can't run everything on comp A because all the mic pre's are in the mixing room and can't control Ableton from there(usb controllers). Also worried Ableton and Vst's will use to many resources. Both computers are newer maxed on ram and running separate hard drives. The Album is taking a jazz approach so ov…

Hi Guys, This is probably old news in here, but I'd like some opinions... Have a major upcoming gig that requires a lot of fancy footwork (in terms of IFB, submixes, pre-recorded material playback, on-set ADR - all sorts of crazy). So I'm thinking PT for the flexibility that it will give me. I'm torn between going down the route of an external mixer (such as a DM2000, or the Presonus 24.4.2) to do all my routing and just use PT as the recorder (with 788's for backup), or to go with a controller such as the c24 and do all my routing "in the box". Any thoughts, feedback and/or life lessons gratefully appreciated. Cheers, James "Nova" Nowiczews…

Hello, I am currently trying to use 3 MOTU 896 mk 3 Hybrid units. Is anyone else doing this with a laptop? I was only able to get this to work by using both separate FireWire connections on my MacBook Pro. I made an aggregate device and linked 2 MOTU's off one FireWire port and one MOTU off the other FireWire port. Metacorder sees this no problem. But, is there a way to get all of my inputs to show up, post metacorder, on the headphone jack of just one MOTU box? Metacorder has no menu that allows me to select a signal path for my headphones out. Currently I have to use the 1/8" on the MacBook itself. It works, but is not ideal. Thanks for any assistance …

Hey Guys, I recently recorded a short film for a buddy of mine and used my Pro Tools 9 and Focusrite Saffire 56 interface to record 1-4 mic inputs. I am now finding that I can't export poly wav files from Pro Tools (trying to use the export file command always makes many mono files). I downloaded wave agent to see what I can do, but I have never used the program. Also, I didn't roll on all inputs all the time, so the filing naming isn't consistent for which take they are. (For example Boom_01.wav and Studio Mic_01.wav might be from the same take, but Lav 1_01.wav would be from 4 takes later as I didn't roll the lav mic on the first three takes, etc.) They do all have the…
