Hope everyone is doing fine. I m interested if you had a chance to do test and work it out.

2 years on I don't miss my 664.  The far more flexible routing in the 633 has been really helpful on all sorts of jobs, and Dugan has been quite amazing. 

Yes! I agree 100% with you. This are the exact same reasons i changed my 664 for a 633. But i will miss the limiters!

Are you perhaps thinking of the inputs 4 to 6 with the 633 which are line level only and without a limiter on it?
 

Nope. The limiters where better on the 664.

I suspect a lot of that is due to your own predilection and the fact that you know which device you're listening to. You want the analog device to sound better.

In a proper blind test the result could be different

 

I recently changed my 664 for a 633. And since i was thinking that my 664 sounded better (not because of analogue pres or digital) i thought to give it a try here and see if there where more people thinking like me. I found this thread and i m laughing to myself. I love this website. I don’t personally know you Constantin but most of the things i read from you i agree and also respect. But on this one i have to disagree. I know the sound of my 664 like the palm of my hand. And listening to my new 633 i can tell you that the clipping is much more forgiving, and the limiters are incredibly much better. I m surprised at the difference between both recorders. Of course they are both awesome beasts. But i find ridding my levels a bit lower because i m scared of limiting too much or clipping. On my 664 it was almost imposible to make it clip and the limiters are smooth as baby skin.

Eric if possible please upload some demo tracks A/B. Thanx!

Hi, i m in need of advice. My Lectro system (UCR 210d and UM 200b) is giving me some hard time. Everything works perfect until past the half hour or so, i get a distortion in the singal. It sounds very similar to when you are going out of battery but keeps working with the distortion. After a few minutes the distortion goes away and everything goes back to normal. 

Always using rechargeable batteries on both Tx and Rx. Its hard to test it at home because it starts the distortion randomly and past the 30 minutes or so of use. 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Daniel STOP + FF in the 744 is for takes not scenes (unless there is a way to change the shortcut). Thats why i ask, because takes i can edit pretty fast, but scenes no.

Philip when you say you edit with the side-wheel you mean you go all over the menu and change it manually? I dont do cart work, but do you think it could be handy to use a keyboard when working with bag? 

 

Thanx both for your answers!

In February i sold my SD 702 a bought a 744. Since then i m constantly trying to find the best way to use it (of course for the kinds of jobs i do: Documentary, Advertising and Interviews)

I have the 442/744 combo. I m trying to find the best way to keep the scene and take name while shooting, but (correct me if i m wrong, i read many times the manual) i cant find the way to quickly change the scene number. 

Is it worth to buy a keyboard to log notes? Does the keyboard let you make a scene shortcut?

Do you have special shortcuts you prefer? 

I recently found about the bread crumbs in the menu and i m loving them!

 

 

Thanx for the advices!

 

Ps: looked in the internet all the info i could find about the 744 but now everyone is talking about the new gen SD...

Nice!

Are you sure? Have you talked to him?

Few people here, even those who have been here a really long time, do not have the link to every suitable topic for any given question. That's why this site has a search function (which, btw, works fine for me) and there is also this thing called "Google" (yes, I do have a link for you: http://www.google.com), which is probably how you found this site in the first place

Hey Constantin no need to be ironic. I recently began to use this site, and it took me quite a few threads and comments to know how it works. I recomend using the google search with "jwsoundgroup.net" first and then what you are looking for.

Michal dont post a thread each time you have a question. First take your time to make a search. This forum dates way back, so you can imagine that all this basic questions have already been answered. Also you can imagine how anoying is to the people who belongs here to hear the same questions all the time...

VM i agree with you! Si vouz avez fait une page en Frence s est magnifique (hope my french its not horrible! long time i dont speak it) I would pretty much have something similar here in South America. We recently fought in Uruguay to make a guild for sound, but its mostly for live sound. I just thought that this place is a good starting point!

 

Sante!

Suso hola! Acabo de escribir en el "Foreign Language Discussions". Tratemos de moverlo y ver que pasa, quizas ya lo trataron de hacer antes y no funciono. De no funcionar podriamos buscar una nueva solucion. Pero agotemos este recurso antes! Los foros que he visto en español no son muy buenos, ni con fuentes confiables. Por eso creo que la respuesta tiene que estar dentro de los usuarios de habla hispana en jwsound.

 

 

Abrazo!

Jon do you know any good groups in Facebook? Lately i joined a few but i dont think they where any good. I was about to ask someone in here if the could give me an input on some good groups. Even tho i use Facebook a long time, i am new in this world. And i did the jwsound search on google but couldnt find anything in this topic. 

 

 

Cheers!

There is a groups section here, which is ideal for such a purpose. I think there is a german group already, but it's not very lively 

 

Thanx Constantin.

 

In the under-utilized GROUPS section there is a group called "Foreign Language Discussions" which was set up in an effort to accommodate the sort of thing you are suggesting. Maybe you could look into it and see if it might be helpful.

 

Thanx Jeff. It´s a little hidden. Here I found an old post where you explain how to join the group, may help people like me in the future.

I will answer you in galician  

 

 

Why I can't see this group?  

 

You have to go to the tab "groups" and you will see the groups that we have. Click on the group and it will say you don't have permission or whatever but there will be a "Join Group" button in the upper right hand corner. Once joined, the group will behave just like the rest of the forum.

 

Create your own.

 

Jon with my biggest respect, do you think that your blog: http://jon-gilbert-sound-recordist.blogspot.com has the same input or attention that jwsoundgrup ? I asked Jeff because i know how hard is to gather a great amount of people into a forum, and i m sure we have a good amount of spanish speakers in here. As is the case, they already have made this.

 

 

Cheers!

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 just was thinking because i belong to the Latin American AES and had beautiful experiences with other soundies. The thing about the AES here is that almost everyone is working in the music department.

Just a thought.

Cheers!

This post made my day! Awsome, wish there would be more pages of this thread!

Come on dude tell us if those are yours!

Dude this place is THE BOMB! My advice as a newbie that i am, check always on google with the tag "jwsoundgroup.net" and then what you are looking for in the forum. The search on jw its kind of funky...the worst thing you can do is to post questions that already have been answered. If we all keep posting questions as we please, then its imposible to find the posts on google.

That´s awsome! Could you tell what do you have on your kit?

 

 

Cheers!

Guys thanx for your answers! It would be nice if you take your time to upload some pictures!

Hate the undercovers...only use the stickies (with a piece of Topstick) with my Overcovers...Love them!

Ps: Steven love your post, it has been a long time in my bookmarks!

1. There is no transition between loud and soft sounds coming through the input - just think of it as a preamp with a high dynamic range - higher than what the outputs can be.

2. ISO attenuation is an option that the user can enable to fit this high dynamic range audio within the confines of a 24bit audio file. It gains the entire signal down (by an amount set by the user) to bring the extended dynamic range down. It's not compression, though.

If you have any recent DAW, you can try it for yourself.

Set up your session for mixing in 32 bit.

Send 6 tracks of tone or noise that peak at 0 out the same output - I suggest turning your speakers down first - it's going to distort because you're clipping the 24bit output converters.

However if you record those 6 tracks through a stereo buss, and then lower the gain of the entire recorded file so that it's back below 0dBFS, you've not lost any dynamic range, just moved it down, and it won't clip the outputs anymore.

I hope that makes sense.

This video deals with the concepts I'm talking about:

2 - What you are saying is a kind of compression... Also i would like to know what happens if you normalize an ISO track that has been attenuated, since you´ve technically lost the LSB which were bringing noise...

 

Also, shoudnt we be always using this attenuation, since we are losing noise?

 

Cheers!

I know i m still a beginer, but you have to start somewehere...

This is my kit!

Whats yours?

This scene ruined Top Gun for me...=)

LOL !!!

Show me your bag is a great one, but i like more the whole background thing going on in "view".

I will check for diy. So far since i recently started in this forum, i mostly read threads in general discusion...

Love when someone talks about a serie or movie and the actual mixer or boom op participates in the thread! The last thread i read like that was about house of cards, and Steve Saada tells all about it!

Thanx Jeff! What an honour!
