  1. Hey there, I went on a shoot yesterday where I didn't bring my own equipment. Sometimes I'm up for the challenge of making the best out of what you have at hand and improvise. The production had a Zoom H6 a "Boom", which was a Rode Pistolgrip screwed on a Sachtler Camera Monopod. Oh and no Audio-Bag whatsoever. I always bring my "Harness" just to have it. This is the Solution I came Up with. I made a loop out of Gaffa and wrapped it around the XLRr of input 2 and 4 of the Zoom. Later on i moved the wireless recievers up to the shoulder straps so I could see them with a little awkward headtwisting and the antennas weren't covered by my body anymore. It worked very well. I even could watch the meters while booming because of the slightly tilted screen. The Zoom Itself is a pain to monitor though because you cant really switch the single inputs for monitoring while recording. A quick and dirty solution.
  2. Hey there, This just popped up. Should one be scared?! If and how should this be embraced by sound guys? This will definetly be running wild on the market, when it comes to Reality-Formats and such. The question that comes up for me is, whether or not this will make any difference for the "human-personell". I read a lot discussions about how endangered sound mixers became because of the automation of their tools. It scares me, too. I'm just starting out in the business and really want to make a living of this. But every day something new comes up, that seems to make it harder for me to claim payment for what i love to do. On the other hand I have the feeling that the extinctiong of sound mixers will not take place. What it actually happenig it that the gap between low/no budget and "normal"-budget is getting bigger and bigger. The step you have to take from novice to professional getting harder and harder. Because your entry level skills mean nothing on an entry level when it can be done by algorhytms and machines. Because only people, that know that the difference between a good sound and an outstanding sound can only be made with skill, know that. So on the one hand I'm really scared about the automation of my job, but on the other I feel confident, that, if I'm willing to stick to my passion and if I'm able to develop skill that make a difference which cannot be achieved by machines, I will have my place in the business. The time and effort it will take me to get there is the only thing that changes with every new development.
