4th Annual Atlanta Sound Mixer Barbecue
studiomprd replied to Whit Norris's topic in The Daily Journal
uh-oh... -
RVD: " Doesn't answer your question specifically, but it's a start... I only offered my opinion. " actually, that was a guess... but my point is reenforced as you are speculating by (only) what it looks like, and not even guessing based on the sound... no one saying anything resembling: 'it has the bite of a 416', or 'it sounds like it is rejecting as well as a CS-3e' or it has the warm sound of a Neumann, or it sounds as clear as a Schoeps or even there was virtually no handling noise, I'll bet they used the Cinela... As for "newbies", well sorry folks but they really need to be guided to do their own troubleshooting, their own looking up, their own searching, IOW do their own homework.

I was hoping to upgrade, or trade up my DEVA II

CN: " What mikes did you use on the show? " what mic does it sound like ?

RW: " I feel storing anything there is gonna be a pain trying to sitt down and lean your back against something. " then don't use it.

will there be a trade-up offer ..?

jt : " Turning on both Bolts shows an additive increase in signal which is now problematic. " yes. " In the mean time, has anybody run across this before ...? " yes, it is RF interference, and we talk about it here quite a lot. " And should a product that works in the 5ghz range be spewing out noise in the 500mhz range. " maybe, maybe not, but they frequently do... the FCC (USA) does have some regulations regarding such "spurious emissions", but even with good RF design (quite a complicated topic itself) there are frequently RF emissions present at harmonic, sub-harmonic, and intermediate frequencies. there are numerous other factors, including... TV: " Also make sure they are using good shielded SDI cables, have had RF issues before from shitty cables. " there are typically significant differences amongst cables, connectors, and adapters; and price can be a clue... AVU: " Quality cable is a must. " RPS: " I wonder what would happen if Zaxcom and Lectro and others built radio mics that affected the remote focus and HD monitoring? " these devices are not only sources, but also must contend with all the other stuff out there, including our's.

will it be possible to upgrade the older models ?

GS: " as you move farther away from the center of the tuned frequency the RF level quickly falls away. " exactly!

Angelo quoted CL : " The sketch will be featured on the front page of Funny or Die." how do they know this? I think they may be dreaming... " we promise you will have fun working with us." unreasonable expectations, or ..? " This will be a very fun shoot " not if I'm working " and a great credit. " also in your dreams...

JF: " effectively killing all RF outside of the set 35MHz window, " err.... I'm skeptical...

Wiring for Peter Engh OmniGoose (Servo)
studiomprd replied to BradTheSoundGuy's topic in Do It Yourself
brad: " ? If this were/is true, then wouldn't knowing the pin out of the OmniGoose be beneficial? " true or not, NO " If the OmniGoose only uses 3 of them, wouldn't knowing which be important? " if, or if not, NO not really, an extension cable for any microphone plug/jack just needs to go pin for pin, though observing the shield/ground/earth is helpful (and the same for all Lectro mic wiring!) -
CS: " I wonder what would happen if you paid the seller a "visit" with some "friends" to pick up your mics (given it is not a fake address). Would they call the police? " I think former USA football player O>J>Simpson has had some experience with this... he can be reached in his Cell, in Nevada Prison.

RED Dragon with 2.0 fan noise
studiomprd replied to cws837's topic in Cameras... love them, hate them
tone: " I'm quite happy with my modded SB2As and SB3s " nope, those won't work. -
I guess the easy way for the JRL to decide is to go by which shows and movies sound better to her/his ears: those mic'd with 416's, or those mic'd with MKH-60's... (of course you can tell which mic was used by listening to the shows, right ?)

PS: " but it was just odd that they would drop out within a few feet of each other... " not really... there are many factors at work, including antennae (sic) and LOS. -

Hate mail for Sony F55
studiomprd replied to Philip Perkins's topic in Cameras... love them, hate them
PP: " Just what is the deal with the menus in the Sony F55? " I spoke with an official at Sony, who declined to be identified as he is not authorized to speak about this, but he did say it has something to do with North Korea, and a movie Sony has made... -
78: " I'm planning on sending it into Zaxcom at the beginning of next week. " what is so difficult about contacting Zaxcom..? they have 24/7 tech support, and you would have found out: " There is a chance that a small piece of insulating tape on the board under the headphone jack can fix this "

Right now - NBC Peter Pan massively out of sync ?
studiomprd replied to mikefilosa's topic in Current
marc: "The three biggest problems with the show I saw were: casting (not enough energy from the two leads), pacing (the whole show dragged in spots), and sound (lots of noise, and too much of an "artificial" lav-only approach). Strictly my opinion. " you get pretty much universal agreement from the critics only on the pacing ... it dragged a lot, particularly in the middle. The reviews also frequently mentioned all the commercials, and the cheesiness of them as well as the frequency. I saw no mentions at all about the sound, including none about possible lip-syncing or not, and not even much about canned vs. live music... The reviews were pretty much all gushing about Alison Williams, who has been on a series, and yes that is her father who was not on the Evening News that evening... There were mixed reviews of Walken's Capt. Hook, though most at least agreed it was an interesting casting choice...
