    I love my Sanken CS-3e. Super-directional, not much rear lobe to talk of, for quick run'n' gun situations works well outside but fairly well also inside. It's design relies on 3 capsules instead of one and I think this is the reason it has a slightly higher self-noise than some other shotguns. Haven't tested side-by-side, though.

    The last time I checked I think this version I think was the minimum recommended one. The Nomad hasn't seen that much use. I will definitely update after I'm back from the shooting trip I'm on now, of course. Luckily on this trip I'm going straight to camera (while recording for backup of course).

    I'm running on 3.13 at the moment. I really doubt I'd have pressed stop twice, since I'm running on the mode that requires a press of a second or so for the rec and stop buttons though. For me it's stop twice then pressing menu for a while to delete a false take. It might not hurt to have an option which, when turned on, would move false takes to a special "trash" folder instead of outright deleting them.

    I have, this time.

    No, I was just wondering if they had made changes to the antennas that might improve range or something. The frequency thing might explain it though, I've only used G3's in the 700 and 800 MHz ranges before.

    Just a few days ago I rented some G3s with the wireless hand mic Tx. I noticed the receivers had a longer (maybe thicker, too) antenna than what I've seen before, and the top of the case was blue. They were somewhere in the 500 MHz range, does this explain the differences or has there been a revision I'm not aware of?

    iZotope RX3

    Karri posted a topic in The Post Place

    So the new RX is out. For RX2 users, iZotope has a pretty sweet upgrade deal, from RX2 standard was around $150? for RX3 standard and $499 for RX3 Advanced. I went the advanced route this time, mostly for the deverb function. I only had a little time to play with it before leaving for a shooting trip for the rest of the week, but the two new modules, the deverb and the realtime dialogue denoiser seem like solid tools.

    First actual Nomad scare so far - some fine folks from the UK were doing some interviews over here in Helsinki. A day after the wrap I got a call from the UK saying the last interview file is missing. I checked my mirror card, and sure enough, it wasn't there. I just figured I hadn't given it time to mirror the file or something and checked the primary card on the recorder - and the file wasn't there either. I hastily checked all the other folders on the mirror card and primary card and couldn't find it. Yikes. Being 100% sure I was recording when I was supposed to, I figured either there was a software bug, something wrong with the media or that I'd messed up after the take. Luckily a quick google led me to ZaxFile, which had it's way with the CF card and brought the file back to me. Whatever it was that led to these events, thanks to Zaxcom for the file system and ZaxFile!

    Richard Feynman is certainly one of my idols! I read all the books on his memoirs and really love his character, a smart guy who enjoyed life and seemed to make the most of it. And the practical joker aspect as well.

    1900 €? That's ridiculous. If you're not leaving tomorrow you might want to order a 50 from the guys at Pinknoise: http://www.pinknoise-systems.co.uk/Sennheiser_MKH_50P48--product--953.html That's around 950 € + VAT if you're not eligible for VAT exemption.

    Yeah, I don't have camera hops but this is a slow-paced lifestyle show so going in by cable is fine.
  12. Karri
    All right! As always, thank you ever so much, guys!

    Jack, No digital inputs on this gig. So, just to make sure, I need only to route my analog inputs to outputs as if I was using analog cables, and it should come out of the digital outs as well, without any additional setting somewhere?

    I return to the subject at hand. I'm now prepping the Nomad for a gig, but I can't for the life of me find out how to map channels to the AES outputs? The Nomad manual says: You can use any combination of these outputs with your Nomad. The output channel number is written on each cable. You can assign these outputs to any channel(s). However there's no mention of how to achieve this. Or do the channels directed to analog outputs 1, 2, 3 etc automatically get sent to the AES outs as well? Thanks!

    I listened to test 1 using my phone and earbuds on a train, this might affect my judgment. But I'm guessing the first bit of moon language (says the Finn) was the NT5 and the second one the Mk41?

    Finally!

    Superb! Maybe by the time they release it I'll even have money to upgrade at least two channels from my G3's. And congrats on your new gear!

    www.soundsnap.com have all kinds of sounds from amb to fx etc. The quality is uneven but there's lots of useful stuff as well, and for $249 you can download all you want for a year. You have to do this sound by sound, though.

    I'd love to try the Audio Wireless kits. Wonder if they're planning a dual channel receiver... That would sweeten the deal even more.

    Also, the security on some airports might allow you to take your boom to the cabin but some might not.

    I got my Sanken clips from Pinknoise. They work for the TL-40s for sure, but I can't quite get them so that I could also fit a Rode Lav furry, since the capsule is so short... I guess one option would be to use the clip "upside-down" and clip the mic + furry on the cable holder on the backside. Will have to experiment.

    In film school I had a great one-week course on recording orchestra (not scoring). For comparing different approaches we had the use of the conservatory's decca tree, and loads of Schoeps Mk4/41 spot mics and the Mk4 ORTF pair. Also, we had two Soundfield mics for testing. Of course, this isn't always possible but our workflow with the ORTF was as follows: plonk the mic near the middle of the hall facing the orchestra. Sit down, record and listen the performance from the same spot. Listen to the result, then place spot mics for those sections that seemed to need a little boost. As someone said, having the main pair near the conductor might be a good idea, this would depend on the space. I once did a recording with two Shure SM81's in a church. Not my choice but they were handed to me. Pretty funny since the production also had three-four cameras and a large crane. I put the mics in ORTF around 10 metres behind the conductor and it sounded fine. The musicians liked it as well. Then, to my dismay, the thing went out as a webcast with mono sound!

    Thanks, guys!

    Quick question: any recommendations on alternative tie clips for the TL-40's? I've broken two of the ones that came with the TL-40's already, the plastic "spring" is rather flimsy. But I don't know which other clips might fit the TL-40's. Any tips? Cheers!

    So far I don't really know others than the "big boy" XDCAMs. They seem common here in Finland for anything that has a half-decent budget. One would think that Panasonic also had some models with 4 channels?

    The guys at Pinknoise Systems made it for me. Nice customer service over there. The ENG cable/snake I have is 17 feet + the camera end so I guess around 18 feet/5.5 metres in total. I would think most people don't consider this long so maybe I'll be fine. Hope I get to test it soon.
