This link, including all the google redirect stuff, works for me: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cl-wifi/id419268431&ved=2ahUKEwi65ejp19WWAxXpMzQIHdI6EqwQFnoECCAQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1PaNIQL0Rs6J79QUUtidE7

I think Olle is referring to @cmgoodin's comment and video here: Courtney posted a useful PDF detailing his issues (at the time) with the Behringer recorder. He also posted this nine-minute video:

Ya, I'm using Sound Devices cards. And ya, I'm bummed about their high prices. Like US$245 for a 64GB card. (I should buy a couple more cards). But I'm taking a better safer and poorer than sorry approach. 😞 https://www.trewaudio.com/product-category/expendables/expendables-media/ Would love to hear from SD an update of any sort on this topic... Even if it's a "we're not testing SD cards for 6-series and 7-series recorders anymore."

I'm guessing those are both sunglasses designed for shooting ranges? Good idea.

D'oh! Sorry. Done.

There are some 3M safety glasses that have very flat arms/temples. Available with various lenses. I've used these on a couple jobs filming in labs (I knew ahead of time, so brought my own safety glasses). Swing by a good hardware store. Cheap, too. Here's one example. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b00050518/ And pilot glasses, which are largely designed to fit under headsets...including the one RA bases their HN headphones on, it looks like. One online supplier (that a pilot friend pointed me to): https://flyingeyesoptics.com/pages/sunglasses

I accept ACH payments from some trusted long-term clients; and basically from big corporations. That's weird and not confidence inspiring. Bob, I'm sure you're way ahead of me, and the source for this article is an insurance company (who I guess can sell you ACH insurance as part of their protection racket), but: ------------ How to Help Detect and Prevent Automated Clearing House (ACH) Fraud Automated Clearing House (ACH) fraud is one of the fastest-growing threats to financial institutions today. According to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s 2024 survey of risk officers, nearly 1 in 3 financial institutions reported ACH fraud attempts, and 11% suffered losses. Fraud attempts increased by 9% compared to the prior year, outpacing growth in debit and credit card fraud. ------------- Rest of the article: https://www.travelers.com/resources/business-industries/financial/understand-ach-fraud-risk-solutions I mean, it's probably nothing, but the anger and the 90-day thing... Huh...

Perhaps you've all seen this by now. Perhaps even here (and I missed it). But I keep seeing this advert and thinking, "How did this happen?" I actually, I have a couple guesses. And I'm not very upset...In fact, considering everything going on in the world these days, I'm glad this gives me a chance to get worked up about something unimportant. BUT STILL!!!

Weird about the cold joints. Cool that reflowing them solved your problems. Anyway, as you probably know, Fostex now mainly sells headphones, speakers, and speaker components. No recorders. (In the DIY speaker community...which I am getting lightly sucked into...some of their full-range drivers are popular for folded horns and stuff). https://www.fostex.jp/en/ I don't know if Fostex even has any authorized US service centers these days. I was going to give the default answer of contacting a location-sound reseller, but then just saw this on Gotham's site: "We regret that Gotham will no longer be servicing Fostex machines or accepting Fostex related repairs. We encourage anyone with Fostex service related issues to contact Fostex factory trained service tech Mike Van Tine. He can be reached directly at mvt0726@hotmail.com or 973-980-2621." https://www.gothamsound.com/service/news I don't know when that was posted; it might have been long ago. And here's a discussion on Fostex repair that took place here, but in 2010, so no idea if any of the suggested contacts and techs are still working on Fostex kit.

Would like to see a two-channel compact/bag/cam RX for the SLXD+

That is so cool Ty!

I kinda guessed you'd know Eric. Good luck with your project.

K-Tek also sells Hodges counterweights for their poles. Have for about ten years. Not stackable like the Ambient ones (cool idea). I don't own any, but I only hold shorter poles and mainly for short corp and doc stuff. Not on a feature or anything. Anyway, great concept, I think: https://ktekpro.com/?s=Hodges

Acknowledging, as you did, that this is a bit off topic, maybe Power of Babel in Toronto (and elsewhere) can help with that. Founded by an an acquaintance, Eric Geringas, who spent years at the CBC. They do translation, subtitles, and other sorts of localization. And they know the difference between Québecois and European French. https://powerofbabel.com Back on topic, DSG (can't recall your name), bummer about your Fairlight experiences. Has anyone else here had a better experience (perhaps on a more-recent version?) using Fairlight for feature-doc-length post?

Fairlight Live is something new, apparently not just the Fairlight audio page/panel of Resolve. "Fairlight Live is the world's most powerful live audio mixer. Unlike traditional hardware based audio mixers, Fairlight Live is a software-based mixer, so it can support incredibly powerful features such as spatial audio mixing and SMPTE-2110 broadcast workflows." Lots more marketing stuff (and a download link) here: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/fairlightlive
