  1. Indeed complicated, and more so when you start adding in trx you'd want to remote control. If one has to piece together modular devices to make a non-integrated zaxnet Zaxcom mixer/recorder work, then it better be one awesome machine, since anything could be used in its place (as jack elegantly mentioned).

  2. To develop their most recent mixer without the Zaxnet ability built in like Nomad was just silly to me.  Yes, it probably would have jeopardized the reason for buying a Nomad for many of us (or not), but the entire Zaxnet functionality is far more useful and used more often than a 2ch UHF hop/link is.  It's probably way to late for such change to me made to the Maxx, but for those of you still hoping.... I'll wish you luck, you'll probably see something along the lines of being able to record line level input from the RTN and added 4 more tracks, routable input matrix, output delay (maybe not).  I think mp3 is an impossibility for Maxx?

  3. Battery Bud will give you more space, and the Kort bag (not exactly shown in the above pic) has side pockets for NP storage that's far easier/faster to get to. As for x4 411's, yes you can, however it depends on the way you're wanting to arrange them. You'll prob want to stack them in a 2 x 2 config.

    To give you an idea on space with these side pockets.... The right one has my NP, and the left side has my batt bud II and RF multi. You should be able to use your BDS still.

  4. I see this announcement as Maxx launch version 2.0. Attention is going to be focused on the maxx again, which means Deva and Nomad users will have to wait longer to get the rest of the options they were told about. Please prove me wrong.

  5. I thought I wouldn't like the joystick record control deal but got used to it very quickly in my 664.

     

    The 633 is a design that shows that SD has really been listening to video audio location soundies about how they do jobs these days, what the real, everyday problems and needs are.  Congrats to them.

     

    philp

    +1.  They even heard us out about the gain pot color schemes!  (black on silver > white on silver)  Excellent product!

  6. How about decent playback control (I see both machines having "decent" control of that)

    -and monitoring (both seem just fine on this front too),

    -selectable meter screens (nomad technically still has more selectable screens even if they're not as efficient. Do you mean screens that you like to see, if so please explain?)

    -visible trim for record tracks (AMEN!)

    -visible scene and take number (AMEN again!)

    -viewable incoming timecode etc etc etc etc etc (what are you looking for here? Both machines do this on their own separate menus)

  7. The more fast paced and demanding the work gets, the less MARF has become useful to me, more like a speed bump honestly. I like it when working on the cart, or some sort of episodic series, but not having the ability to press stop, make any last min meta data changes (without remirroring) and hand off a card when the unforeseen request from the client hits you with your pants down. Continuous is obviously the answer, but at the expense of accurate meta data efficiency.
