  1. Thanks for the quick reply John. I've been prepping my audio files and meticously tweaking the metadata for the last several months, yeah....from the research I've been doing it does seem the #1 priority to have both good data and audio. Thanks for the observation that the market s saturated. I won't say that my product -- mostly audio from nature -- is extremely unique, BUT it is very high quality---96khz and great mics almost all recorded in stereo. Interesting that lots of huge files now seems to be better; I often just let my machine run for 30 minutes at least. I probably need to continue to do these types of long-form recordings. Good luck to you as well. Kevin
  2. I have been professional recording audio since 2009 and have a fairly decent library which I would like to sell. Can anybody recommend a good Web Sound Distributor ?? Thanks. Kevin/Illinois http://freesound.org/people/kvgarlic/sounds/377759/
  3. Hi Experts. I been using and learning about my Sound Devices 702 since it arrived two days ago and it is a fantastic machine. As I am still learning about the various set-up options, I am wondering if you think I am missing something real crucial: My recordings are GREAT, however, the volume is real real low. (when I look at my recordings using adobe Audition on my computer they are generally around MINUS 40) I have it on custom set-up with phantom power, Input 1 feeding BOTH tracks A and B, using a Rode NTG-2 at 24 bit depth and 48Ksample rate. The input gain on input one is pretty high --- I have it on the " 2:00 " position if this were a clock face. Oh, my limiter is ON. Do you have any suggestions?? I read the manual and it said that there are two different gain ranges a "NORMAL" and a "LOW RANGE", the Low Range says that is suitable for high SPL environments...BUT I cannot tell which of these ranges I have chosen. Many Thanks! Kevin Boucher
  4. Excellent feedback....I have not touched base with Transom----Rutabaaaga,,,,thanks for the feedback especially on the NT4; with the lower end price I was wondering if it would be worth getting---looks like the NT4 will be in my mike locker at some point. Tom E....your 702T endorsement was fantastic, and, it hit home. In fact, later in January I am scheduled to climb some fairly rough terrain deep in the forest with an archaeologist looking for artifacts, and I am planning on using ONE mic on the 702 BUT routing it to both tracks.....Glad I asked this great group. Keeep 'em Coming. Kev
  5. Thanks very much for the replies. *Mark, yes, I did download the manual, and, so far, it looks like one of the better manuals available. *Steve, My microphone is probably not the highest end - I have two , non-matched, Sennheiser MK600s that I mount on a stereo bar in an X and Y configuration. (*I'm looking at other microphone options, like Sennheiser mkh30, or, the Rode NT4, or a matched pair of Rode NT5s.) *Phillip, thanks for the more realistic approach to high bit rates...AND I like the idea of that gentle panning when do a studio interview.
  6. I just bought a Sound Devices 702 --- delivery should be by or on December 2nd, 2016. After using Zoom H4N, and Marantz PMD661 (modified by Oade Brothers) I am moving up due to the wanting and needing the very quiet pre-amps of the Sound Devices. I am a Radio Producer for a Public Radio Station in the U-S , focusing on in the field interviews with scientists. Everything I produce and air, has to have great sound quality from my guests, PLUS, my radio features are very rich in natural sounds. To keep the quality of my future projects as high as possible, I plan on using my SD702 at the highest sample rate -- 192Khz -- and 24 khz bit depth. I often use the Beyerdyamic Omni Dynamic ME58 microphone for these ' in the woods ' interviews with great results. I will spend several hours in heavy woods or fields and the Beyerdynamic simply does not have any handling noise! That being said, two questions though from those of you who have already been using the SD702. (1) To save space on my CF cards on my IN-STUDIO interviews where I am not concerned with recording nature backgrounds, I am considering just recording in MONO on my SD702, BUT, then creating the "stereo" in Post production. Does anybody else do this ?? (2) Since CF Cards are generally more expensive that SD cards, do you (2-A) SAVE all of your CF Cards to act as a backup? (*Of course in addition to transferring the audio to a larger external hard drive*) OR, do you (2-B) due to the price of CF cards, do you simply back up all of your SD702 to an external hard drive , then RE-FORMAT and RE-USE the CF cards? Many thanks for any input SD702 users can give is greatly appreciated. Can't wait to get the in the field with my SD 702. Kevin Midwest/U.S.A.
