  1. I'd imagine that, once the dust clears, someone would probably be able to fix small problems? Hell, you can still get your Nagra repaired back to factory spec so I'd hope you'd be able to be able to fix a machine that literally existed up until this year!
  2. I'd be down for an app like this, especially if you could control multiple machines. I currently have one 788t but am contemplating picking up a second as I've created a workflow with a 2nd unit summing through the link port of my Solice and it's sounding great. These things are workhorses and the only real negative things about them is that you do have to dig through the rotary menu vs a modern app that could speed things like metadata up.

    I'm beating a dead horse at this point but you could just use any of the Sennheiser G3/G4 receivers, turn off the pilot tone on them and voila, they pick up the Lectro IFB signal. Been using them for camera hops for years with the great reliability of the Lectro transmission (+ R1a's for video village etc picking up the same signal).
  4. Honestly if they just made an F16n, maybe threw some AES inputs on it and called it a day, that would be fine too. I'd love a small, 5 channel mixer recorder with phantom and a great mic pre on channel 1, then a super slot for a 4 channel receiver built in as boom + 4 lavs would cover most of my use cases.
  5. It's a bummer they discontinued that recorder. They rarely pop up on the used market too and when they do, sell for some pretty big coin quickly. That new Yamaha DC powered dante board into one would be great for high track count stuff into one of those (although it seems people are using that Yamaha's USB into a laptop with Boom Recorder too).
  6. Might be a good candidate. What the market needs is something to fill the big price vacuum between a Zoom F8N and an 833.
  7. Ron Howard's Narrator Voice: It did
  8. There's some studios in LA that still have these decks in working order for archiving purposes. Haven't used them but a cursory search led to these guys: https://www.deepsignalstudios.com/
  9. Denecke full size slates + JB-1's are my go to for timecode. They just work and I don't have to fuss with my phone/tablet/whatever as they just jam and work. Don't forget the resell value also as I often see well used Denecke slates selling quickly for not much less than they were purchased new. At the end of the day, timecode is just an accurate clock. No need to make a clock complicated.
  10. I like the "tell the IRS" approach. The IRS doesn't like to be messed with, that's for sure. I'd also file in small claims etc.
  11. Sold my HS-P82 and matching control surface for $1000 cash USD a year or two ago. They're odd beasts with some quirks but they sound great. Served me well but I spun that around into a great Sound Devices 788t deal (with Cl-8) and now I'm kinda bullish on getting another 788t to C-Link as I can use my PSC Solice Mini + a 788t with CL-8 summed into the "link" port to make a very analog yet capable 16 channel setup.
  12. I'm the same way. I've had my Orbit forever and love it. The scroll wheel is fantastic and when I'm in Pro Tools, holding shift + the scroll wheel makes horizontal scrolling a breeze in a session. I even converted my wife to an Orbit which she loves for her crazy huge Excel spreadsheets and managing those.
  13. Sounds silly but have you tried physically cleaning the trackball? I have the Kensington Orbit and once in a wall it gets "sticky" and doesn't operate as smoothly till I take the trackball out and clean everything inside.
  14. Have you considered a little cheap lithium battery pack that has a 12v DC port out? They can be had for ~$20 USD and would be way more convenient with longer runtimes.
  15. Worth a shot but it's going to be a process. If you notice the film is going to any sort of film festivals / networks etc, I'd contact those people as I doubt they'll want to get wrapped up in any legal issues and might punt the project off their festival or whatever.
