Good replacement ear pads for 7506? Wicked Cushion? Other?

 

And if your foam is still good, but the cover/vinyl is the main thing messed up, check out Garfield Headphone Softies. I like and use those. But if the foam has broken down, check out the suggestions people gave me in that link above.

 

 

Softies, Beyer pads, Wickid pads, they all are too small for my headphones unfortunately.

So i'm still looking for suggestions.

Hi guys&gals,

Where do you sourse replacement headphone earpads?

What do you know about Geekria and are they a quality pro replacement supplier?

For my Sony MDR-V600

Cheers.

I'm looking for a copy of the service manual (not the user manual) for the MixPre. if you could be so kind and contact me with a copy.

i'm doing some internal cleaning and would like to see an exploded view so i know how it all fits together. the website doesn't have it, i think because they only supply service centers.

thanks everyone.

P.

Jason,

I do have access. So it's a conductivity problem?

What's the ideal cleaner to use?

So i left batteries in my Mix Pre (old school analog) and they leaked. Now it doesn't work. (No power)

Is there something i can do myself to bring it back to life or is this for someone with intricate knowledge of the mixer? Would aappreciate any help.

(and i know, it was a dumb move to leave them in when storing it)

Cheers,

Peter

richard,  no one got back to me from the cas, and the general email for warner sound n.y. gave me a bounce back with "no such user."

this is frustrating.

contact me via PM.  can't find anything on the warner web site to contact him. just want to send a personal message about one of the films he has workd on. don't worry, it's strictly professional.

cheers,

the Do Lung bridge scene from Apocalypse Now made an impression on me.

one man's impression of the vietnam war. the chaos and absurdity of it at times. the fear, and the raw emotion of battle. the confusion and escapism that was indudged in to numb one's self. the constant menace just beyond their sight.

it was a well crafted tale done with sound that took us from one reality to the next, as Sheen walked up the bank and through the trenches. it set up the scene, then drew you in for the punch.

i made my way into sound supervising because of it. on the quest to tell the best story i can with sound.

enjoy.

find a sound post house and offer yourself as an intern. you'll quickly find out how things are done.

not a view from the office but a view of the office. working on a tv drama series. my first official gig as a 2nd rerecording mixer.

go to michael raphael's sound effects web site http://rabbitearsaudio.com/.

he has a blog also, called fieldsepulchra.com where he discussed recording in new york state. winter time, summer time.

i'm sure if you contact him he can set you up.

cheers,

sure the  PSM has responsibility, but if this politician is talking sh*t with camera and sound rolling, then he/she has to be prepared to answer for it.

i haven't sold to the u.s. but buying from the u.s. i know that due to the free trade agreement, all electronic items do not have duty added on. so i can only assume that is a 2 way street.

yes, speaking clearly and projection is such a bonus. what's sad is that it's unfortunately not the norm.

 

all your suggestions have been done in the past or i know of.

yes, and i referenced that.

cheers,

P.

thanks you everyone who responded. i'm sorry i haven't been back earlier, i've been in full series mode and busy as hell.

all your suggestions have been done in the past or i know of.

it's a shame that protools came out with a new feature that would replace all those other things, but it doesn't really do it. it would have been a time saver. in this business, if we can find a way to do things faster, it would surely help.

cheers,

i am senator, i am.

i'm covering all my bases.

a palm-sized scanner. the spectrum analyzer is a handy and affordable palm-sized box that scans a range of frequencies and tells you what’s nearby.

I currently pay my editors  $375-$450 day  ( as a freelance contractor )

hey deanmc,   can you believe that we're getting paid 250-350 for editing work here in montreal (doc, fiction for tv and film). i'm telling you, it's freakin' disgraceful. i know that the standard of living is lower but it seems everyone else in the country is surpassing us. what's a real drag is that we have no union to keep producers in check here in quebec. at least not for post sound.

very frustrating.

something fishy ??

 

" terrorism expert Steve Emerson revealed that according to his sources, the Saudi national who was once considered a 'person of interest' in the Boston marathon bombing is being deported on national security grounds next Tuesday.

“This is the way things are done with Saudi Arabia. You don’t arrest their citizens, you deport them because they don’t want them to be embarrassed and that’s the way we appease them... 

“The question is why is he not being prosecuted as opposed to being deported.”

... an interesting report by Reuters surfaced indicating that President Obama met with the Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Wednesday, which was not originally on his schedule. "

not fishy at all. the saudi royal family have a direct line to the president. that's any president. there was one commercial plane that was cleared to fly after 9/11 when the entire country was grounded, and that was a plane headed back to saudi arabia carrying saudi nationals.

i don't watch football so i'll just say draft shmaft, whatever. the hockey playoffs start next week!!!

i can't thank you enough for posting this. sad to find out, but a new discovery for me.

wonderful. sounded great. congrats. liked how after the job the reveal happens with the flower on his lapel, before that, it just looks like a couple of business men at it.

having a picture editor that starts with sound is a rarity for us. i have come across so many picture editors working in tv series that don't give a poo about the sound and don't edit with sound in mind. thus limiting the possibility of sound helping to tell the story. very sad i must say. and a bad indication of the education of some of these editors.
