Hello to all !
I'm new to the forum and to the job as sound recordist in short and feature films. In a few days I 'm going to work in a feature film.
To the point: I need a 4 channel recorder (1 for boom, 3 for lavs)
We have found a Edirol R 44 and a Fostex PD4
-Edirol R 44, has 4 channels, records on a SD card
-Fostex PD4, has 2 channels, records on a 2 channel DAT tape
The director likes the sound of the Fostex, but there are not enough channels..
So, I decided to have the boom always on the Fostex and the 3 lavs on the Edirol!(?)
Are there any problems with quality and syncing later on edit? And how am I going to monitor both? Is there another combination / solution for this or it's gonna be messed up? And if I take the Digital out from Fostex and drive it in Digital in of Edirol, will this get working properly?
Thank you very very much
