I think at that price point most people are probably using the Oktava MK-012. The next step up would be something like the Audix SCX1-HC or similar. It seems like used prices on the Audix are close to the price of the Oktava new; a lot of people have said handling noise on the Oktava can be a challenge. I get where you're coming from- I use a vintage AKG 451 with a CK-3 hypercardioid capsule for indoor booming and the CK-8 for outdoor. Not the best but it works, I'll upgrade when/if the self noise becomes an issue.

Started doing something similar for a podcast I'm recording, where my co-host is calling in while I'm onsite with the guest. Picked up a used JK Audio Daptor 2 and set up a mix minus on a main out of my F8n, while the sub out feeds a headphone distro. Since I've never had a chance to use a 633: are the mixes fully independent? On the F8n I can route the L/R mix or a selection of channels pre or post fader, but the fader level is the same on every output. Didn't know if the 6 or 8 series has multiple mix busses with independent level per bus. Just curious.

Agreed, although it's a shame they're out of production (and some used prices are ridiculous).

@soundmanjohn, glad to see you're getting along with the Ender 3! @tourtelot, let me know if you need something printed. Happy to help you out if I can.

Seems like they're working on it: https://www.newsshooter.com/2021/03/02/rode-wireless-go-ii-export-issue-new-firmware/

I'm watching a series called Counterpart and in one scene they were using a number of field recorders as props; I saw an older Cantar, what looked like a Tascam DR-70, and a couple others. One of my favorites was in an episode of Law and Order where a 911 operator was adjusting the call quality on a Furman…

The search that worked for me was "HDMI audio embedder". There's a number of questionable devices on Amazon, some better options here: https://audio-video-supply.markertek.com/broadcasting/Hdmi-Audio-Embedder

It's still going strong and being updated and enhanced. It can either record locally (with no audio monitoring) or transmit via Bluetooth to a phone where the audio can be monitored and the audio is recorded to the phone; you can't record locally and monitor remotely. It has no I/O onboard, so no patching it to a TX. They're great for what they are but I don't think they're terribly useful for most folks here other than a plant or "hail mary" mic. I'm hoping they release another version with 32 bit recording, since that would help mitigate the lack of monitoring.

Separating audiophiles from their money.

Now maybe the DIT can handle the new task of IT infrastructure support, ensuring all departments have adequate bandwith to upload and view. Maybe they'll also get to wrangle PINs for every device that needs to connect to the service… lucky them. "Camera 3 can't connect to the network!"

Both seem to be fairly abandoned. Metacorder site still mentions OS 10.3, the newer Gallery site at gallery.co.uk doesn't even mention it as a product. Boomrecorder at least talks about known issues on 10.14, but their Discord server (I guess that's how they interact with customers) hasn't seen much activity in quite a while.

I don't have any direct experience, but Michael Wynne did a pretty good comparison here:

It's still there, I think the original link had a typo (third "C" in "accCused": https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/subway-accused-selling-fake-tuna-footlong-fraud-lawsuit

SD should look at the iLok model. The recorder is your "key" and you use an application on a connected computer to add or remove software licensing. Upgrading your mixer? Remove your license from the old mixer, add it to the new one. Transfer licenses between main and backup units if one has to go back to the mothership for service. For that matter, if you own a license you could add it to a rental unit, just remember to remove it before return.

Yeah, kind of an ugly move. At least offer a discount for those that bought NoiseAssist recently.

Speaking for Harvest- not automatically. You could manually add the processing fee to the invoice, then have a note to the effect of "payment by cash or check will result in a 3% discount". The only issue here is that you then have to tweak the invoice after payment so that the amount of the invoice matches the amount paid. I eat the processing fee, then claim it as a business expense at tax time.

In my experience, the 302 is built like a tank and very reliable. I bought mine second hand and there were a couple controls that were scratchy; I opened up the unit and cleaned them, they've been fine ever since. I wouldn't recommend doing the labor yourself unless you're very comfortable dealing with compact electronic circuits. Your best option would be to send it to Sound Devices for a checkup and overhaul.

Seconded! I've been using Harvest very happily for years. While many here probably won't need the work timer feature (I use it constantly in my IT business) the ease of invoicing is great. Makes it simple to generate and attach expense reports, and will automatically send reminders when invoices are overdue. If you want to take payment via credit card it integrates with Stripe. The automated overdue reminders alone are worth the money to me: $12 a month for unlimited clients and projects.

There are multiple reports (mostly on youtube) of a flaw in the input jack of the F2, where moving the lav plug even with the lock tightened will cause pops in the audio. Hopefully they'll sort it out soon, but maybe best to hold off if you're considering one. On the plus side, maybe by the time the hardware is stable they'll have actual docs on how to use them with timecode…

Space considerations. There's no small form factor mixer that has the features I want (EQ, dynamics, automix) at a price point I can accept for low budget jobs. I can get those in a digital stagebox. This would also mean I could leave the 100' snake at home. What I really want in a mixer is along the line of a Yamaha O.5v. The QSC Touchmix 8 is close in size but doesn't have automix. I need something I can set and mostly forget while I'm running a camera. Thanks Rick. I may try and mock this up over the weekend. My jobs have been around 10 to 12 boundary mics, computer playback, and maybe a wireless handheld. The snake makes load in and out much faster. I agree with you on faders, but if I'm OMB'ing it something's got to give.

I'm very familiar with AoIP and Dante. The challenge is that I don't want a digital mixer at FOH with nothing plugged into it other than headphones and main outs, while the inputs are plugged into a remote digital stagebox. I want the mixer itself in a stagebox form factor (which exists) but with the headphones and main outputs at FOH. The question here is really about running an analog headphone signal 100'.

I'm kicking around ideas for a small livestreaming/corporate style rig and have been checking out the various "digital mixer in a stagebox" devices, like the Allen & Heath Qu-SB. Seems like a great idea to not have to run 100' snake in a conference room, but I can't figure out how to get the PFL signal from the stagebox to the mix position. Does anyone have a method for sending a stereo headphone signal 100 feet? Am I overthinking this? What I'd love to see is someone build a digital stagebox that connects to a small (eight-ish channel) control surface over Cat 6, with headphone (and possibly line level) outputs in the surface.

I got the casters from servicecaster: https://shop.servicecaster.com/5-Caster-with-Polyurethane-Wheel-p/scc-ts20s514-ppub-m1015-m.htm https://shop.servicecaster.com/5-Brake-Caster-with-Polyurethane-Wheel-p/scc-ts20s514-ppub-tlb-m1015-m.htm The small cart will fit a 1510 on the lower shelves, you have to finesse it a bit. But you're not going to be able to open the lid unless it's on top. I'd love to have something with larger wheels and more capacity, but at the end of the day it all still needs to go into my subcompact Fit.
