  1. If you rebrand them Shore, the Viking reference is even clearer. If you have a ROW of them it'll be even clearer. Nice job!
  2. It is very beautiful, but it also very much reminds me of the reason why I was so pleased with Sound Devices mixers: those awkward 3/4 pots to the LEFT of the 1/2 pots!!! And of course, to me - a millennial, VU meters are very much hard for me to wrap my head around. I remember these things sounding different than SD, and I never understood why really, which says more about me than these mixers. If I'd used them today I'd probably love the sound. I just felt they were sluggish in a way that felt off, compared to say a 302 which sounded whippy and crisp. The SQNs I used could've also been very old and not cared for. But I agree, very beautiful, as a lot of confusing items are.
  3. There's a glowing review of the Behringer Flow here on this Forum. Glowing in the sense that it's beautifully tearing it apart and making it clear that it is not an acceptable working unit as of now at least.
  4. Hm. In my day, I stopped working on set 10 years ago, but back then the SDI or whatever video signal would also carry the audio. So I’d imagine the audio takes the same path as the video… but I could be wrong of course. My setup was receiver on camera - carries through to video village. Sometimes I’d put the receiver in video village into their vtr. That of course depends on where they want to playback from. IE: sounds like you’re doing it right but there’s something fishy with either the output levels on camera or I out levels on the vtr. if the teradek doesn’t carry the audio, there could be some menu diving to be done there as well. the VTR person should be able to help you troubleshoot, if they are somewhat experienced.
  5. Sorry to keep OTing, but I would have you know that I was born in 85 in Sweden, a country that’s had a history of being a land of skilled workers, craftsmen and whatnot, but my generation saw wealth growing rapidly and the need for being skilled at all greatly dropped, and I would dare say this is true in a lot of countries. So I would venture there are quite a lot of people who, like me, grew up not knowing you actually COULD solder at all, other than experimental things like small circuits that were totally useless other than in school assignments. I learned to solder at 30, because I had to and I realized you actually could make cables yourself; you didn’t need to have a factory or buy it off the shelf. Capitalism has been really successful in that department (please not this is not a political sentence, only a reflection on this matter)
  6. Fun! New stuff = yay! Also, Cos11D: best sounding lav imho, big, sure but under a shirt or in a tie - perfect. If this smaller one even sounds a BIT like the COS11D and has the same ruggedness, I mean wow. The other one, CU-M2 has an unfortunate name. but… I am in SHOCK. A podcast about sound, for sound people, and no popscreens on the mics?!? I work in radio and I am appalled at this.
  7. Yup. Often times we get so distracted by the price tag that things like longevity is just not present. Sad to hear about the flow 8.
  8. Hilarious. The best type of comedy is the one that makes you laugh and then makes you think. Didn’t look at the video or listen to the podcast but read the paper. I’m not in the market and wouldn’t be interested in a Behringer unit anyway, but still: Say they fixed these issues, would it be usable then?
  9. That sounds like a bug, and you should report it. They can probably fix it somehow
  10. From the mixpre 10 manual: 12-in, 4-out USB audio interface streams to your computer via USB-C at bit depths up to 32-bit float So I mean, yeah. On the other hand, then you already have a pretty full featured recorder on hand. Sidenote: pretty much no longer in the business, full time radio mixer/teacher these days, but these new softwares coming out are looking pretty sweet. Great options for the people
  11. Looks great! Can’t the mixpre 10 act as an interface?
  12. I might have this wrong, but the dual AD idea is pretty old, I think a few large mixing consoles have been using some sort of dual ad for a few decades. Neverclip is however adapted for small recorders and transmitters, and there’s probably stuff going on under the hood that I can’t explain… But with 32 bit it’s sort of avoiding infringing the patent, because neverclip is for 24 bit. Which in my opinion has Zaxcom in an advantage, since 32 bit requires workflow changes… and it also works on wireless, which 32 bit doesn’t. Yet.
  13. Yes, you are correct. I’m also a bit of a hypocrite since I use Behringer products daily in my current job as a radio sound engineer. But my remark was also foreshadowing the probable fact that Behringer will try to bring in even larger recorders/mixers to market, trying to undercut even Zoom. Again, we (as in people who are already invested in pro gear) are not the target audience for this product.
  14. Oh yeah it’s in the channel setup screen, very big on the screen . Like unnecessarily so. Ie not a pot Yup, or recorder. 442 is an Eng-mixer from the early-mid 2000s. Very very good mixer
  15. The 442 is "just a mixer" and has no recording capabilities.
