Is it a MixPre6M?

Does anyone have the stock number for a Rycote sticky to fit a SM58? Asking for a friend....

Jay, thanks for the link! I just spent a very enjoyable 30 minutes with a cup of coffee on a lazy Sunday morning listening to some very interesting sounds, complete with images. Our world is a very intriguing place. The details below our usual focus are vast and, to me, very humbling.

To capture the melodic voice I would use a solo neutral mic (U89, TLM170, etc.) or a nice ribbon within the critical distance to focus the image, and a stereo pair farther out (spaced omni, fig. 8), placed to capture the amount of ambiance you want the room to contribute. From my locker I would use a Rode NTR as the main mic and a pair of MKH20 for the pair. Although it is tempting to use a stereo pair for the main capture, I would advise against it. Even slight movements of a single instrument facing a close pair will confuse the stereo imaging.

There are even better pricing options when purchasing through an on-line retailer: https://www.audiodeluxe.com/taxonomy/term/244/?f[0]=bm_field_on_sale_now%3Atrue&mc_cid=43793f7697&mc_eid=14fdd6e28b Discounted price will show when you place item in cart.

I haven’t downloaded the demo yet, so don’t know if I will upgrade from V6 Advanced. https://www.pro-tools-expert.com/production-expert-1/2018/9/12/izotope-rx-7-is-released-today-we-have-exclusive-demos-and-review-find-out-what-we-think

6 Advanced was a big step up for me. The upgrade from 5 Advanced was an instant buy once I trialled it. Protools Expert podcast this week covered some speculative discussion that Mike Thornton could neither agree with or deny (including the suggestion he may or may not have been a beta tester), although if you read between the lines...

KM183 is an omni, often used for choral or instrument spots. IMO, not a good choice for boom work, but could be useful for ambiance in the right room.

The discounting of F8 has begun.... http://www.pinknoise-systems.co.uk/zoom-f8-multitrack-field-recorder-w-free-zoom-pcf-8-bag-delkin-16gb-sd-card.html

Dave, Have you tried Cabela's or Bass Pro? Not an endorsement as I haven't seen or used their products, but you may see something suitable there.

I believe the best features of RX are in the last two upgrades. https://www.izotope.com/en/lp/rx5/Top-reasons-to-upgrade-from-RX-4-to-RX-5-Audio-Editor/ Instant Process: The one-click magic eraser for your audio.

Gotcha. What time is lunch? I have several suitable quips ready. Best of luck on your new venture.

Not to pee in your cereal, but if you and your partners can't be objective in the many, many business decisions you will be faced with......

I "borrowed" one of these yoga mat bags (~$20) from my wife to use when I only need light protection for a blimp kit. Lots of room and pockets to hold a WS6 kit loaded with a KMR82, small boom pole, batteries, adapters, etc. I keep it folded in my Pelican with whatever blimp kit I am carrying so that is immediately available for a hiking day or when I need to move quickly and don't require the full pelican for protection.

JWSound is an internet based resource. jw does door to door service (welcomed or not).

I would have handled it a little bit differently, while biting my tongue... Why not split the mixed files and send them the two iso channels? It won't take long, the project moves on and everyone gets to live another day.

I can believe that filming was done in one take, but would be very surprised if live take audio was all that was used. The IEMs used would be necessary to sync to studio audio and to receive music and choreography cues. I couldn't spot any audio rigging and the fact that there is no lift, footsteps, etc. noise in such a reverberant room. I could be wrong, but I am a Capricorn, so I doubt it.

I am not a fan of "fix it in post", but this may be a time to apply an exception and do the surgery in RX, when required.

It appears to be notching at the 2k target frequency and harmonics, up to 12k, as shown in the RX screen capture.

Will yield an incredible sound field of the mechanical noises of a dslr and operator.

I like using black cable (less visible in public performance or plants) with coloured rings for input ID and coloured heat shrink/strain relief for length ID.

Since the MixPre10T does not have direct outs for each mic pre, I don't see how a mixer will be of any benefit for real-time mixing. You could mix the streamed USB audio via your DAW, with each track placed in record monitor mode and a midi control surface providing the faders. I am not sure of the latency this setup will introduce, but it is likely to be significant, and unacceptable to anyone used to receiving a near real-time mix from a conventional mixer setup. The other option is to use a conventional mixer as the front end of your system and providing a split signal (either through the direct outs of the mixer, or (preferred) via a mic level pre-split) to the 10T. Both of the above methods are cludgy and require a lot of extra gear and cabling.

I keep 4 Radial PRODI and 1 each of JDI and J48 in my kit. They sound great, are built like tanks and never fail. I have no reason to look for anything else.

Dave, thanks for that simple, yet effective, trick. Just reached over the desk, grabbed my pair and gave it a go. I am a fan of the Audio Technica ATHM50x, partly because of the 3 sets of detachable cables (curly cord, straight cord with regular adaptable 1/8">1/4" plug and shorter straight cord with slim 1/8" plug that fits the smaller gap in cell phone cases) they include in the package.
