  2. I always guarantee everything I sell. If you donor like it return out, but I would say a week to play around with it is usually suffice. Have sold a lot of things only thing returned is someone bought a mkh40 and decided he wanted a 50 took it back and sold to someone else
  3. Was on a pilot this year where the card reader fried 3 of my CF cards, the Delkins but not the cheap transcends. Loaned them my reader and no more problems, so it does happen
  4. I have always had great communication with post production on all my shows and go to as many mixes as I can when I am available. I have mixed both half hour comedies and 1 hr dramas and from my experience they are both completely different as far as how they are mixed. In the half hour I have been told they will try to extensively to use my mix track while in the 1 hr. shows they will never look at my mix track and go to iso's but use the booms as much as they can. I use 2 booms as much as I can. With wide and tight and now 3 cameras sometimes the norm in TV, we still fight very hard to boom as much as possible, I 100% wire if we are outdoors and always ere on the side of caution and wire if there is even the remotest chance we will need them indoors. Some actors I have worked with prefer not to be wired unless completely necessary and one actor we had to wire their jacket as they refused to be wired . On my last show I wired about 70% of the time indoors. If I sat back and just decided to play wires all the time, it would be easier but trying to get a boom overhead and get the few lines I can with a boom, I will. As outdated as they are getting to be I still try to provide the best mix that I can , the decision is left up to the dialogue and re-recording mixers at the end of the day and do try to provide as many options as I think will be necessary. I have done complete episodes on wires and have been on shows where I have wired 100% of the time, I think it varies show to show. Steve Morantz

    I have numerous COS-11's and is still my go to, but I have found that the 4071's ( I have 2) bring out a few of our actors and actresses who are a bit nasally. I also have one 4063 without the windscreen and has turned into my go to on soft actresses
  6. I had issues with Delkin CF cards a few months back, Huge amounts of the file would not be there, or were corrupted. The SD cards were fine. It tuned out I bought 5 from the same lot thatwere all bad. I switched to the San Disk Gold Professional cards and have not had one issue since.
  7. Senator that is why it clearly states in the small print what it is but thanks for your 2 cents as always
  8. Wanted to let everyone know that Chris Howland and I have organized a sound brunch at Rocco's Tavern this Sunday September 8th in Studio City from 10-2. We have a big portion of the patio area and there will be tv's for Football and food and drinks. It is a pay your own tab. Would love to see everyone who can make it. 12514 Ventura Blvd. (cross streets are Ventura and Whitsett). Steve
  9. That would most likely be Wexler Video, not Jeff's. Jeff is a Schoeps guy and his mics are I am guessing in much better shape
  10. Shot at the helipad at Griffith Park last week, same situation. Antennas facing downtown, RF nightmare block 21,22 removed the antennas and we were fine, luckily needed only 4 freqs.
  11. I did notice the porch scene sounded heavily gated but otherwise thought the movie sounded fine, but was very aware of at 1 scene
  12. Had mine work great over the summer in Puerto Rico and the first week I got back in town, it crapped out. Sent it back to Ron who fixed it and has been trouble free. I just bought a portable venue and if anyone is interested I am thinking if selling it, $725 with 4 sma to Bnc cables for lectro receivers. Morantzsound at Mac dot com
  13. Finishing up a movie right now shot on film 30 fps 48.048
  14. Bought 2 sankens cs3's in lieu of the Cmits i usually use for the feature I am doing in Puerto Rico due to the humidity conditions. After 2 days went back to the Cmit. Have had 2 occasions in 38 days where the Cmits failed for a short time but after a little R&R they start right back up. I will be selling the Sankens when I return, good mic but The Cmit hands down.
