  1. client is a vid podcaster.  He has an older Sony CX550.  For an ext mic there is only a 3.5mm jack.  Not very secure as he has discovered.

    Since he is just underway, his budget doesn't include a better cam.  Much of his work is outside and subject to varying wind torrents.

    There are only so many miracles AI dialog post can perform.

    Does anyone have an idea for a DIY  "wind sock" method for this camera?

  2. the track name does show in view/clip, but I'm looking to show the track name on the track "write " strip.

    " BTW, this has nothing to do with splitting a poly file as you reference in your original post.   "

    if that is indeed the case, then I guess WA cannot accomplish track/clip name to "write" strip.

  3. I have a poly that I split.  The track info window bears the names I'd like to import to PT.  But I can't figure how to use the metadata editor to do that.  Or is that a step in poly split that I missed?

    Or is WA not capable of that step?

  4. this most recent gig I used Sony L type batts for the SD633 and changed 9v for the rcvrs. PITA and wasteful. K-Tek bag.

    But after reading a bit here, looking for some input with regard to an NP1 and distro for 4 UCR411, 2 T4s, DPA4017 on a stick, and an SD633.

    I would probably still have the L batts for b.u..  Thinking an Orca 30 & harness with the NP1 on my back.

    Looking for methods/gear to accomplish the distro, etc.  What kind of time could I expect from distro and compared to 9v for the UCRs?

  5. Hello Fritz,

    The F8 does have a software gain pot lock. Pressing the STOP button and any PFL button will lock all gain pots. This cannot be done during recording.

    Thank you

    then that's rather nice.

  6. the SMA just distro.  In this case, 2 mics, I was thinking to distro the antennas to the 2 receivers. 

    But the Micplexer does more I see.  Would it work with Lectros or only Zax?

    I could probably rig the antennas to the active windows or perhaps even on a carbon fiber mast rigged to the roof, though I suspect there would still be interaction from the ground plane.

    I was thinking a yagi.  I would control the location of the vehicle if they wanted good sound.  One can only assume they would.  heh, heh, heh.

    But the SNA is more practical, as long as I can figure rigging.  Were the floppy dipoles DIY or off the shelf?

    This last time, I used 2 sets of receivers.  One in the active car and one in the follow.  Did the job for recording, but producers wanted  to hear more than they could.

  7. Does anyone here have some experience with this in conjunction with a PSC SMA?

    Was just in a follow car with SMQV/411 and not getting more than perhaps 50' at best.

    Wonder if 2 and an SMA would improve gain significantly, if I could rig the antennas on the follow roof with the SMA on the bag harness?

    Or is there a better method?

  8. while I didn't read the whole review, the one thing missing from my recent trip with a b.u. rec'd (DR60 in this case) in an "unmanned" vehicle was a way to lock the level pots of the DR60.  I used tape, which sufficed.  But I wish devices like the Zoom and DR family had s method,soft or hard, to do so.

    Inevitably, someone else is climbing in that vehicle after me, prod, camera whatever and may not be aware.

    Call me paranoid, but auto-rec'd doesn't cut it.
