  1. Haha! Nice. I once had an issue with a guitar amp where everything was working great, but when I installed the chassis into the cabinet, the sound disappeared. I took it in and out and couldn't find any cause. Then I looked at where the chassis screws went and noticed another wire in close proximity to one of the holes. Turns out the screw was grounding a signal wire and I had to reroute the wire and repair the break in its insulation. Glad it's solved
  2. I have seen a high res of this that was part of a commercial. I thought that whole thing was just for a commercial? I agree that it is amazing and I watched it many times when I first saw it. I couldn't believe it was staged either.
  3. That is crazy, never heard that before. I'm very interested in this, I hope it gets solved. Did it happen with more than one mic? It does kind of sound like resistor hiss, but I can't imagine this being that since they recover and sound normal again. It may have something to do with those resistors? Are you trying to simply add a dB pad? Maybe remove the resistor and see if it still happens. (Calling John Blankenship!)
  4. Does that mean the Deva 24 is permanently out of production?
  5. I love this! So hardcore. Thanks for posting and the warning. They should go to jail.
  6. Once around 2009 or 2010 I spoke to a Lectro rep and he asked me what would I like to see. Immediately I answered recording transmitters. What a bummer Zaxcom has killed that dream. I was an early adopter of Zaxcom wireless because of this feature, but they just sucked so hard I ended up selling them at a great loss. If only their tech could have lived up to their patents.
  7. Oh man this'll be gooood! I heard a podcast that featured rats hanging out - all originally above 60kHz. They had to slow down the recording so we could hear em. Apparently all the fun playing and hanging out noises (including procreation) happens up there, and the mostly only distress sounds are audible. So yeah, there is a secret universe of sounds!
  8. Even for these shout/whisper scenes?!
  9. Probably not helpful thought here, but when I encounter whispers-with-loud scenes, I just mix the scene quietly so the loud sounds are proper. I think the real solution is a limiter on the Comtek / IFB outputs. Then people could jam up their volumes and they wouldn't care about the heavy compression when the loud sounds happen. (At least they wouldn't care as much as post production would care if the compression was on the source track.) I've thought about trying this with guitar compressor pedals...
  10. I bet it'll sound great for screaming. I use kick drum mics to record bass and also tom toms. My pal Mark told me he used drum mics for the screaming scenes in Beasts Of The Southern Wild and they sounded great.
  11. I once had to have a lawyer send two letters. The second one did it and was paid quickly. I hope for the best outcome for you. Please keep us current, I am very interested in this story! Dan Izen
