SD 664 users--how do you use your X1-2 tracks/busses?
Zack replied to Philip Perkins's topic in Equipment
I'm not coming up in my head a way to do what you're asking without affecting the L/R master. You have pre/post fade options of your inputs to the x1/x2, but no way of mixing those levels without affecting L/R master. I could be missing something however. -
I was just saying that I like having an actual switch. As for the rf spray comment, I'm hoping that an old issue is solved with this new design. So you tested block 26 lectros with the camera link in a bag, but what freqs were being used on the camera link? Thanks jack

Looks good, like the hardware on/off. Like to test it next to Rx in the bag, and hopefully it's not a year from now before they're available.

Larry, what's the expected turn around time for an SRa to SRb upgrade now days?
-
You have to create an empty list first to import the new list into, this way you don't overwrite others you have saved already.

SRa actually, working perfectly in any application

Depends on budget/requests IMO. G2 Hop = low budget, no TC, single mono scratch for DSLR, and RED cams. ERX Hop = single mono scratch with TC for budgets that afford it, just about any camera, (no TC when used with DSLR's though). Zaxcom Hop = 2ch high quality audio and TC for budgets that afford it, mostly ENG and reality work.

New product my guess

Yes, I've exported and imported to and from a fellow mixer with success

Zaxcom Nomad - operating questions, plus tips & shortcuts
Zack replied to Jack Norflus's topic in Equipment
From Zaxcom forums: Method #1: (allows specific inputs to go to mix) 1. From any home screen.. press the Bus button 2. Scroll down to Card Mix 1-4 3. Put an X in the box for analog inputs 1-6 for CRD1 4. Press the Bus button again 5. Continue putting X's starting at R1-R4 for CRD1 6. You can now arm card track 1 and have a mono mix of all available inputs Method #2: (everything routed to outputs recorded as mono mix) Using Method 1, skip step 3, and for step 5 put an X in o1 and o2 for CRD1 - you now are summing anything going out outputs 1-2 to card track 1 for a mono mix If you want to have a mix track that bounces around on the sound reports and or polyfile for post production to be annoyed with, you can use Method #1 or #2, replace step 2 with Card Mix 9-12. I would recommend getting used to putting your mix tracks starting at card track 1. -
Just something to consider between mixer and control surface. You can use your mixer with any change in equipment unlike the proprietary nature of a control surface.

Sweet!! Are you also the one to contact if we're looking to bring our cart to the show?

Awesome, good work sir!

Arg....wish I saw this earlier. Any chance you'll have this fixed before Tuesday?

Monitor in mono (summed) and you'll hear it.

Depends on what post wants really, play the part of being able to do both however do what the boss wants, not what you want. I for one do a mono mix track for a cooking show I do on the road because there is no "sound post" for them to sort and remix the ISO's I also record. What I mix on location is 90% of the actual final audio... which I love to do for its challenge, professionalism, and authenticity. I would imagine that most mixers working on features and episodic shows mix down to a mono as well for many reasons, I do for features I work on. Working out of the bag with large counts of input sources obviously make mixing physically impossible at times (but not always), with production willingly able to afford a good post sound editor to sync/edit ISO tracks that come from location, it can be easier on yourself to just be "tracking" on location rather than stressing about mixing.... since shows like reality don't necessarily have a script to go along with. Just because you're expected to "track" instead of "mix" doesn't mean you can't still create a mix track for your own skill honing ... they don't have to know or receive it if you choose.

Comparing the range of Nomad's built in Zaxnet?
Zack replied to Vincent Gates's topic in General Discussion
It is definitely better than the M-72's.... it could rival the 50mw LMa on good conditions... maybe, but I would put my money on the LMa. What you need to keep in mind is for max range (no additional amp or antenna) is to stay LOS of the Rx to Tx, good frequency selection, and use the stock (large) antenna Nomad comes with. I have 3 different antenna I use with the Nomad for different purposes. I like using my stubby for when I'm close to the Rx and indoors. I have a 2nd (medium QRX) antenna I use for most other gigs that has much better range for 80% of outdoor gigs, and then the stock (large) antenna which allows for further range if it's really necessary. I don't use the stock antenna much due to it's annoying size. -
I own both and use both, and I only agree with the first statement about Nomad's display arrangement. The TC generator and sync capabilities are just fine if you use them correctly. I have not had any negative comments from post about TC sync, only compliments of doing it correctly. To say one machine does this well and another doesn't is not accurate... take a look at either company's user forums and you'll find "sync issues" which I believe is usually user error. As for power switching and back up, it's just fine and will give you plenty of back up time running on internal to get the main issue resolved (both N12 and 664). You can pro and con machines all day and you'll get no where, what you need to do is try out "yourself" and get what you're happiest with. As I was once told before when I was having to make up my mind, "either way you'll be happy".... and I was.

Eneloops work perfect and go 12 hours easy

Then there is no way you will be able to do it either.... so what does it matter what mic you get?

Gives you time to help with the crafty table

Anyone using X2Pro software for FCPX to Pro Tools export?
Zack replied to TRCS's topic in The Post Place
FCX is a damn shame. -
This is true, and with this particular test it did play a factor in my decision (OP can vouch on that), however after going with trusting just my ears, I realized I could have chosen differently/correctly if I took into account the differences in the actual design of the mic's I'm referring to. (trying not to give anything away)
