  1. Sorry Guys, I meant plain old stereo 2.0, typo!
  2. Hey Guys, I'm increasingly being asked by one of my clients for delivering a 2.1 stereo mix, but also with separate stems for dialogue and music/effects... How normal is this? And anyone know why they might want it? For me I find it a right pain tbh! Any thoughts? Thanks
  3. I'm using starquad cables with neutriks the whole time! I think Mungo is right, it's an old design in a new world and maybe needs chucking! What XY mics are you guys using that don't have interference?
  4. Guys I'm finding this works best: I pop the bag on the cart for 40% of the day, and 40% of the other times it perches on whatever nearby surfaces/floor, then I'm only wearing it for the final 20% that I'm really running around (say with a steady cam). Saves my back hugely! Thanks for sharing this Jon, looks great!
  5. Hey Guys, I often use a pair of NT5's plugged into channels 1 and 2 of my 833 with balanced cables in XY for recording ambiance. I find that they quite often pick up interference from mobiles/radios with beep beep beep data noises. Has anyone else had this issue? Did you resolve it? Any recommended ambiance mics that don't do this? Thanks
  6. I think you hit the nail on the head here, I guess if you want dante, it has to be integrated into the recorder. This is how I get AES also. (although still saving up for wireless that actually supports AES!)
  7. Hey All, This isn't for a specific gig, just thinking generally and wondering if anyone else has cool setup for this. Has anyone tried implementing there 833 into Dante networks, perhaps with AES to Dante converters? I bought my 833 with XL-AES about 8 months ago, and now I'm recently discovering Dante, and I'm sad that the 833 doesn't natively link with it. Anyone got any cool ideas?
  8. I had an old rode blimp for mine, recently switched to a Pianissimo, the thing is amazing, highly recommend!
  9. Hey Guys, Just thought I'd update you and anyone else reading this thread. I've taken into account all of your advise and done the following: Re soldered some of my wires to reduce unused cable length and adapters (thus reducing weight) Switched my receivers to be powered by bag battery rather than individual batteries Bought the KShrn3 Harness (which works a treat, but is tricky to take on and off) Started putting the bag down more often and carrying it less Build a small diy cart for plopping it down into when out and about All of this has worked a real treat, I no longer have severe back pain when leaving set! You can see a picture of the DIY cart attached, nothing fancy at all, but does help a lot with lugging round gear and saving your back! Thanks
  10. Thanks guys for all of your input! I think I'd be looking at a schoeps figure of 8 too. Hmm perhaps you are right that I should get the ms blimp and just use it in mono for now... Thanks very much for the contact details, I'll ping them an email!
  11. Thanks Constantin, I've tried scouring google for their website/contact details, but couldn't find them... am I being a numpty, or are they impossible to find?
  12. I really like both the MKH50 and the Schoeps MK41, I went with the schoeps in the end, but they are both brilliant indoor mics!
  13. Hey Guys, Thinking of getting a Cinela Pianissimo for my MKH8060. I'd like the option to add Mid/Side later on, so was wondering if any existing cinela users could tell me how they setup? Do you have two different mounts/lyres and you switch between the mounts and cables when going from Mono to MS? Is it even possible to buy the mounts seperately later on? Thanks
  14. Hey Ya'll! This is something that's been discussed on here before, but it doesn't seem to be recent, so I wondered if anyone has any new information! It'd be great to have a dipole attached to harness/headphones. I've had a whip stuck up there for a couple months and its been working great, but I'm aware that the lack of ground plane is probably stopping it reaching the full potentially. Today I've bongo-tied a SNA600 up, but its very rigid, and I'm worried about poking someones eye out when I lav them up. Does anyone know of any flexible dipoles? Or if there is a way to attach two flexi-whips together to make a half-length dipole? Something to get up and out of the bag by being attached to the harness? Thanks
  15. This looks great, I'd really like to make/buy one of these!
  16. Some great advice, thanks Jon, couldn't agree more about rates... although glad you mentioned it because I guess the initial reaction might be to start with a lower price when you move, but you are right, better to make sure you look after the people already there!
  17. Hey Guys, So I've been self employed for about 4 years now, living in the countryside, and I've built up a real nice bunch of contacts. Problem is that for various reasons I'd like to move to a city, potentially in a different country... either-way, quite a long way from where I am now. I'm thinking of taking on some projects back here sometimes, but realistically I suspect it won't take long for the network I've built up to fall apart. So I'd need to build a new network of people fast! I just wondering if any of you had experience with moving long distances as either a sound recordist, post-production soundie, or music composer? Would be great to hear your 2 cents based on your own experiences. Thanks guys!
  18. I suspect it'll be multi band and include the higher dme stuff!
  19. Anyone know how waterproof/resistant these are? Is it an expensive paperweight if it's dropped down the loo by cast?
  20. I'm not 100%, but I'm pretty sure they are releasing a new version of the 2 ch receiver soon... might be worth waiting a few months?
  21. Brilliant, that's all really great advice guys thank you. I've no doubt the info you've posted will be really useful for many others reading to! I think I need to lighten up/change my bag a bit, do some stretches, and maybe bring a small cart to pop the bag onto sometimes!
  22. Interesting, I have seen those around. And you find the waist only harness prefferable to a full waist+shoulder harness?
  23. Hey Guys, I'm finding my rig weighs a ton! Clocking in around 7kg.... my back has been killing me this week, so I've just ordered the Ktek Kshrn3 stingray harness. I'm curious, how much do your bags weigh? Is mine just silly heavy? Any pointers for keeping bag weight down? Thanks!
