Personally, I think it's madness to cancel everything everywhere.

I even had a client cancel a 3 day shoot next week due to "travel concerns".

 

To put things in perspective:

 

Car Accident Statistics – Highlights

- Over 40,000 fatal car accidents per year in the U.S.

- Each day, more than 90 Americans die in car accidents.

- On average, 2 million drivers experience a permanent injury every year.

- Almost 8,000 people are killed in traffic accidents involving drivers aged 16-20.

- The most common causes of death on the road are drunk driving (40%), speeding (30%), and irresponsible driving (33%).

 

Common Flu:

CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010

 

Alcohol:

An estimated 88,000 people (approximately 62,000 men and 26,000 women5) die from alcohol-related causes annually, making alcohol the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States. The first is tobacco, and the second is poor diet and physical inactivity.

 

Coronavirus:

Total cases in the USA (as of March 7, 2020): 335

- total deaths: 17

 

Perhaps people who have existing health problems could be recommended to not go to SXSW, NAB etc. instead of cancelling the whole thing....?

We don't have a death from Coronavirus here (Greece), yet; but one production has been cancelled a feature film. This is madness.

Do you have a link? I can't find it in Neumann website.

I am already remember one staff from SD saying (comment) about Aaton prices. Well...

The main issue is the quality and type of fabric.
If a fabric makes noise, you will hear the noise.

Personally, I have found that accessories like this & this helps a lot in fabric noise.

Leather is our worst enemy, even with shotgun.

I own Zoom H4N, but for f*** sake, it doesn't have timecode.

Zoom F4 and Zoom H4N it's different.

Recording sound directly to Sony A7III is a terrible idea.
You will make the camera bulky and uncomfortable; since it's "run 'n gun".

I would recommend below kit:

- Sound Devices MixPre 3II

- Deity S-Mic 2S

- Sony UWP-D11 Wireless (Rent)

- Sanken COS-11D (for Sony UWP-D11) (Rent)

I think, it's actually a drop shipping model which is growing very fast in shoes, clothes etc.

Amen to this.

 

Also RED ALERT, IKEA LADDA 2450 batteries are now available for purchase online. Surprised they haven’t wisened up and increased the price as well.

Very good batteries.

Anyone try this d-21? Is it better range distance like uwp v1?

Looking for feedback me too

Are you planning to use transmitters only for actors or you need to be flexible with boom? With MTP 40 you can have a wireless boom; of course with phantom power supply plug on. Otherwise MTP 41 is small which I like a lot.

Thank you, David!

Hello,

Does anyone know if the new version of UWP-D Series (D2x) have the same wiring scheme (locking 3.5mm plug) like the previous version (D1x)?

Thank you!

Best,

V

MixPre Series v5.01 is out

• Sound Reports are now available on original MixPre-3 and MixPre-6. 
• USB Output routing matrix no longer links Track L with channels 1-10 on MixPre-10T and MixPre-10 II.

Rest in peace, Don 

I don't think Sound Devices need in their line 883 and 888, but I am not running this company; so.
Between these two, 888 is way to go for many reasons.

I was hoping 8 series will have 32 bit, A-B Format for VR, less weight, ability to play with A10 wireless via recorder and finally all inputs will be capable of AES42 / AES3. Maybe an integration of ACN or B:Link for timecode purposes.

Upgrade from 663 to 883 is no go. Upgrade from 663 to 888 is way to go.

Congratulations, Zaxcom! You nailed.

Hi Kuba,

I haven't tried Line Audio for dialogue purposes, but for music. It sounds very good, excellent microphone. I wish if Line Audio had a supercardioid version of it.

No one here likes DPA or Countryman lavs?

I like the sound of 4071 from DPA. 

RF64 and the "hidden connector" is the most interesting for me, otherwise has a "logic" features as production sound recorder.

Hello there, We are considering the Senheiser EW 100 G4 setup for a wireless boom setup

Don't make the mistake to buy Sennheiser EW 100 G4. 100 series plug on transmitter does not provide phantom power. You need 500 series - EW 500 G4 plug on transmitter.
