I know a lot of folks here are self-sufficient, but wanted to share my repair in case someone else has to do it and save you the trouble of taking out the wrong screws. It seems to be a problem that is very common amongst people I have talked to and I have two of them with this problem. I am repairing 2x of them right now. Just wish the nut was somehow on the outside, but not too hard of a fix. With the battery door to the left, If you remove the two larger screws shown below middle top and middle bottom, the two screws on the side near the battery door, and the four screws on the side to the right, a little Tweaker screwdriver pry at the seams in the panel will pop the panel right off giving you good access to the nut that needs re-tightened. Mine shown here came all the way off. Bummer in the field but some tape got me to limp back home. Some Loctite on this round should do the trick.

Curious if anyone might speak to performance in zaxcom urx50’s rx200’s or trx units?

Thank you for sharing those links i have some downtime today and will def check out! I am in a total wormhole of checking out modules and solder project possibilities. So curious what people here might be into. This is the only photo i have so far of my setup that the eurorack starter kit is being added to. Just got the juno-106 back from repair replacing some busted keys and a few voice modules. The Amiga 1200 is my original from ‘93 no internal hard drive floppy only computer that i recently modd’ed with internal cf and usb floppy sim so its wild to unearth all these old sounds n sequences. The midi to cv is what i am most excited about tying all these units together. The Moog mg1 has cv only and as a kid i was dying to tap into that from the amiga midi output. I am oh so close!

I am late to the party but curious if anyone here might be into euroracks / modules / etc. just got my first nifty case starter kit and ordered a kit to assemble a mixer module with my feeble solder skills. Will be buying some factory made modules, but Hoping to build more kits and also some new ones from scratch. I cant believe for how much i was into electronics and electronic music, i was completely oblivious to this world of modular noise making

Holy cow this was fun to watch unfold. I am helping a local on a similar path with the aid of a few other seasoned mixers and yes there are the usual challenges but your professional persistence will pay off in time. This particular person we have been meeting with might be on their way to a full time position that seemed to materialize out of thin air. Luck / timing / get-after-it-ness all applies. Keep after it Dennis and best of luck! -Ken

Hey Philip, do you know if they were using version 25 of Premier? This particular client is using the latest update which i believe is v25.1 I have not had this issue with other clients who have stayed with older versions. sadly, this is a brand new glitch that repeats the same audio file over multiple edit points.

working on a trailer for a doc and ran into this issue (also ran into it back in mid december '24) curious if anyone has had a fix? we are making it by with multitrack .wav exports but if this was the whole feature length doc i imagine it would be a solid nightmare. embedded or sep files, omf vs aaf seem to be no difference.

^wow thanks for posting this one as i had never heard of this. I use ediload which works well when it works but sometimes depending on version of premiere and misc settings it doesnt work. xml gives me a great map to track changes manually. BUT - matchbox looks like tracking changes for graphics, picture, subtitles AND audio is pretty action packed

There is def some science with usb-c chargers low wattage take longer time. Def took a long overnight vs relatively quick with an 87w apple charger BUT All work if you time it out right. There are some higher watt small block chargers that would be great to keep compact traveling.

I have an editor friend whom i do production sound recording for on projects as well as audio post with pro tools. in a perfect world i get pic lock and audio post as one normally would. Lately he is getting projects where he wants to present to client as "this is what it could look/sound like" and we are struggling finding a modern workflow to make both audio and video changes along the way as client makes decisions. I used to have great success with EdiLoad to track changes but the different worlds of video edit and audio post seem to always work against me. Is a possible solution for this - I subscribed to adobe to get Premier or Audition and work with picture edit in a cloud based environment until we reach picture lock? curious how others in a similar PSM and Audio Post situation currently approach this. -Ken

Just got my charger and getting used to having a charger that doesn’t come with a power supply. It is beautifully compact for sure compared to the chargers I’ve had in the past. Am I understanding correctly that it’s OK to use any power source under 100 W Like my 87 W MacBook Pro charger USB-C would work ok without any issues? Has anyone used other USB-C sources and do they charge OK just taking a lot longer? Curious to know user experience with chargers like iPad chargers etc

What a great podcast and worth a listen for all sound mixer skill levels. The succinct explanation of adopted military terms used in all departments is a great way for explaining to greener clients why we all talk the way we do on a shoot. And my new favorite quote “marginal gains” - my new daily mantra. I mean, we all know it instinctively but here it was explained so well. Because of this podcast, i signed up for Aikido classes again after a 20yr hiatus. Curious how many members here study martial arts in some shape or form?

My mind is blown by all of the non-voters in USA. I knew they existed. I just didn’t realize in such high numbers. I thought the high turnout at the polls was a sign of far exceeding voter turnout vs 2020 but it’s just the opposite.

these are great i like how they seem adjustable, and good note on the foam as i do store my mics currently in foam windscreens to keep them protected in a pelican. I would much rather have tubes

Good point i do have 1x loose capsule that should have a preamp vs swapping and leaving others bare.

pm sent!

Curious if anyone has suggestions for safe, compact and efficient storage of different size preamps and capsules? Something i can store inside a pelican with other bits, etc

Thank you this is great. I will check into it.

Ha! I know right it seems so obvious but number one - I’ve been burned a couple times not turning it on in a hurry, but then number two I get burned when I actually could use that back up with Timecode properly and i forget that i didnt do the manual power sequence - like yesterday. i own a furman rack power unit that does exactly this 3x levels of power delayed in sequence. Until howy comes thru - there has got to be a better way! Hoping for something clever diy

Curious if there is an easy diy solution to delay powering a device from bds with an adjustable time. When i power on my kit, camera link tc starts at zero, jams, but bu files stay at zero. Talked to howy about this and i believe a fix is in the works. Just looking to power camera link to power on 5sec or so after mixer -Ken

Thanks! I am good w general cleaning - its these white mics and absorbing “dies” from contact w older black foamies. Could be black moleskin as well. Oddly specific. It seems to imbed deep in the white cable material. Luckily only a few spots and i am now cautious about how i am keeping the white ones stored. Curious if anyone has found a fix to deep clean safely

I have some white 6060s that unfortunately touched non-color fast black foamy in a few spots. Wondering if there are any tricks to get them back to white without damage? I have a feeling i am stuck

PSC for the win! I ordered two replacements for this loon cabled pole and also another PSC pole i have. I’m glad I did. They’ve changed the design a bit and it’s an absolute lock fit in the loon pole compared to the previous version:

is your loon pole cabled? I have a VDB as well, but I hadn’t considered trying it only because the cable output is configured differently at the top of the pole on my VDB. Here is a photo of PSC on the left and my VDB on the right. In the past, I have had that rattle movement at the top that you speak of. I am curious if the cut out all the way to the top even on the PSC affects how tight the grip is. with my PSC spud there is just a very tiny bit of wiggle, but nowhere near as bad as it was With the factory Loon spud.

I got home and tried a PSC spud from an older pole I have and its a perfect fit. Even better than the original you are right the longer tube and seemingly stronger design at the threads is a perfect upgrade. I had troubles with the original Loon spud having a slight wiggle. This is totally solid now. Going to call around and see if I can find a few for backups and replace in my other pole. Thanks for the tips!
