  1. I would put the applause sound fx files on a computer which feeds a console input. Most DAW and audio editing apps (like Sound Forge) to start and stop PB with the space bar so they are easy to trigger with a tap of a finger. As for the getting applause files, for low budget projects, freesound.org has tons of S/FX, It may be a little time consuming to wade through the poorly recorded clips to find a good sounding appropriate applause files, but there are some very well (pro) recorded S/FX on that site .
  2. I do not think a standard 3.5mm-to-3.5mm TRS cable will work. You will need a custom wired cable. The Sony Tx uses the 'Ring' terminal for audio +. I am not sure what terminal is the bias voltage, which you should not need. Sony's Tx mic/line input level switching is a user setting. Sennheiser's SK series bodypack transmitter uses a different plug wiring config for mic/line input level.
  3. I believe the Zoom input is the Sennheiser wiring configuration (Tip= audio and bias, Ring and sleeve= shield/ground.) The output is likely a standard TRS HP jack config. I am not familiar location audio shops on your planet, but most in USA can make any custom cable you want.

    +11. Same here. The RP-HT21 also sound good and hold up fairly well.
  5. A mismatched sample rate between the file and DAW will cause drift, especially on long takes, and it is not as easy to detect a slight speed/pitch change with dialog. Timecode alone does not guarantee drift-free sync either, even if both the file and the DAW are the same sample rate.
  6. I get 12+ hours out of my 2450mAh Enleoop Pros with my G3s as well. I was going to get a battery eliminator module to power from my distro, but with the 12+ hour battery run time, I did not bother.
  7. For optimal performance the antennas should be a specific length. As I recall a 5/8 wave wire antenna for a 216 mHz Tx is around 14 inches. 72 mHz would be longer. There are formulas to calculate antennas lengths.
  8. PK ?? Not to nit-pic but , you probably mean the EK receiver. which is Sennheiser's Evolution series portable Rx. EM is the base station Rx.
  9. I highly doubt they have been deleted. Why not contact Sound Devices?
  10. Engage the HPF (high pass filter). A good shock mount and wind protection you 'should' already have.
  11. To decrease interference with the G2/3/4 Sennheisers, get an RF scanner to find a clear frequency range. The Sennheiser's internal Rx scanner it not sensitive enough to detect extraneous RF that can cause hits and dropouts. I have use my G series systems in RF hell (midtown Manhattan) with very few hits. Prior to getting my RF Explorer, they were pretty much unusable in highly populated RF environments. In lieu of a RF scanner (but not as good), an online frequency finder can be used to detect TV stations that can cause issues. Choose a channel range with a modulation of -80 dBm or better. btw, the Sennheisers are not substitutes for my Lectros, but perform relatively well with due diligent frequency selection.
  12. Receivers can be diversity and non-diversity, transmitters have a single antenna system. AFAIK, sound quality is basically the same if there is no multi-path interference. A diversity Rx can eliminate most multi-path interference. I am not an expert on the different diversity types though.
  13. Hire a pro because you are obviously inexperienced which will likely save you money in the long run with ADR and attempting to fix poorly recorded sound in post. Sorry, this a tough room for non-pro folks
  14. This would be a operating level mismatch, and is over-driving the input stage of the cam or recording device, for instance feeding a (nominal) +4dB to -10dB input, or in extreme cases, feeding line level to a mic level input.. a common issue on the DVinfo and DVX semi-pro audio forums.
  15. I am not very familiar with the MP series, but the line output could be at -10dB, which would cause a low level feeding a +4dB input. The gain setting on the cam could be attenuating the signal as well.
  16. I just got a news update a few minutes ago.. What a shame. But 80 years is a long life. One of the few drummers I liked who played 'behind the beat' RIP Charlie.
  17. A lemo is more versatile to use either wireless or hardwired with power supply/adapter. An XLR adapter to feed a body pack Tx is a PITA in many ways.
  18. The Audio Technica BP4029 stereo short shotgun mic is a 'relatively' low cost mic with a high output (sensitivity= 31mV mid capsule). Like most cam mics, it is not a substitute for a properly placed boom mic but really good for nat sound.
  19. adsf Yes, many NLEs can only edit down to the frame level. OTOH, most DAWs can usually edit down to the sample level.. or at least to milliseconds.
  20. The Sennheiser SK100 body pack transmitter uses the "Tip" terminal for mic level. The 'Ring' terminal must be jumped to ground/shield. For -10dB line level, the 'Ring' terminal is 'Hot, and the 'Tip' is tied to ground/shield. A +4dB line feed can clip the input stage of the SK100 (regardless of the Tx 'Sensitivity' setting), so it should be attenuated some.. at the source or via a pad. As I recall, the Sony TX uses the 'Ring' terminal for audio (hot) and the 'Tip' for Bias current. I am not positive about the Sony though. so maybe someone can elaborate. Line level operation is switched within the Tx. I do not know if the Sony can handle +4 line level w/o a pad. In any case, a mic wired for a Sennheiser Tx will not work in a Sony Tx or visa-versa
  21. Goo Gone Original is allegedly plastic safe and states: "can be used on carpet & upholstery, clothing, any hard surfaces including glass, laminate, metal, wood, plastic, vinyl, windows, ceramic, granite, flooring, countertops, tile and wood". I used it on mic cables and many other things w/o any noticeable damage. I never needed it for a slate though.
  22. I would not use a heat gun, they typically put out way to much heat than what you need. You want 'warm' .. not 'hot'. Use the razor blade just to lift the label's edge .. do not to scrape it off like a decal on glass.. Lifting the label's edge with the blade should not cause any damage to the slate.
  23. I got some bizarre messages as well, "checking your browser" and then the "I am not a robot" pCaptra dialog which reappeared four or five times with the same gallery of photos to choose from. The webpage opened normally just now though.
