  1. anyone use a drybag backpack for bring all your booming essentials to work? been considering switching to something like that.
  2. Thx for the ideas!
  3. reviving this thread. curious what hard shell/plastic, etc types of cases folks are using. I've tried a few tackle box single containers, but want to switch it up again. need a little more room. thx!
  4. I like the social distancing factor. 😉
  5. what are folks using to mount their Dipole antennas to the new Stingray bags with the mounting screws already attached? Thx!

  7. Nice work, Ken!
  8. Get out and record and be aware of the quality of what you are recording. Make mistakes and learn from them. Focus on the source you are recording and with the proper mics you can reject a certain amount of unwanted noises. Like you mentioned, "high-voltage towers" or traffic, etc. First thing is to search out areas that are not near these things. Travel a little further if you have to. If you can't avoid them totally, then you can deal with having to correct things later, in editing. But you will not be under any constraints, like having to work where the production decides to shoot. Get out and listen closely. Get good levels and record more than think you will need. Most basic editing software can remove low frequency hum, or hiss. Archiving and selling is something that will come later, after you get your experiences dialed in and start getting some good, usable stuff. Good luck!
  9. focusrite has some decent interfaces. specifically the scarlett line
  10. Its the hardest thing in the world for some of us to not take these kins of things personally. Especially what may seem like attacks. You obviously care a great deal about your work and providing the best service you can. One piece of advice is to weed out certain clients or situations/job that you know are high stress or not going to be good for you. It can be very hard to say no to work, but if it means your survival and longevity in the biz, then its worth it. The technical stuff is what it is, and you can only do your best with what you are given to work with. Mental health is far too important, in my opinion. Take care of yourself and hang in there. Let this one past, with some time, you will be ok. I hope this helps a bit. And I know you are doing the right thing reaching out to this great community here.
  11. No worries. Best of luck with everything
  12. Mark, I have that exact bompole for sale on this site. Brand new.
  13. Fun day on the river in Philadelphia.
  14. are you using the ones with the base? or plugging directly into your recorder? photos?
