  1. Gordon Moore was the first recipient of the Farrell Katz Sally Award for distinguished service to the animal kingdom.
  2. Hi Henri, I have a 833 and totally agree with you especially "I’d love to have the ability to browse the menus, or to adjust the eq’s on the iPad screen." I personally think we are right at the beginning of the developement of the 800 series actions and it will only get better. Al
  3. The youtubes are good and it contains the entire album I have a 40 year old earworm back in action "Happy Trails to You, until we meet again" Period correct photo w/ Al Bob, Billy Bob and Beegie Bob, we were collectively known as the Bob family
  4. Dang, I got reinfected with this country disco ear worms, I'd been clear for 40 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xn_h5X_3qE
  5. "I picked this issue for my daughters birthday 41 years ago." A mile marker for me. JB - Be very careful what you wish for. Please post a picture of you in your polyester dico suit. This LP features Sheldon Kurland as the the leader of the strings, Shelly is Peter Kurland's dad. Small world. The entire LP is on youtube
  6. Here is the link to the RE/P library https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Audio/Recording_Engineer_Producer.htm and the entire site https://www.americanradiohistory.com/ Example - I read in RE/P "Someone von Someone always uses and SM 57 under the snare with the phase reversed and mixed back into the dry snare" and i respond to myself " I've never tried that, it seems so obvious, I'll try it next tracking session, and I liked it"
  7. December 1978 Recording Engineer / Producer was US the premiere magazine for recording engineers, there was no internet, there were few schools, Full Sail was still BeeJay Recording, and every issue was a treat was a treat boxto find in the mail. I picked this issue for my daughters birthday 41 years ago. This one has an interview with Geoff Emerick about how they did Sgt Pepper. The ad's are emotional for an analog dinosaur.

  8. A-wop-bom-a-loo-mop-a-lomp-bom-bom. Little Richard wrote the greatest (maybe the first) rock & roll lyric to describe a drum fill he wanted. Or – depends when you asked him – it was how he talked back to his boss as a dishwasher at the Macon Greyhound station. Hearing a hit in the frustrated number Richard pounded out during a break in an unproductive recording session, producer Bumps Blackwell hired songwriter Dorothy LaBostrie to temper the original lyrics' lip-smacking celebration of "good booty" and helpful butt-sex instructions ("If it don't fit, don't force it/You can grease it, make it easy"). "Tutti-Frutti" may have been modified from "explicit" to "suggestive," but Richard's lustfully tumbling onomatopoeia still voiced a carnal glee far beyond the reach of any dictionary words – when he lands on the last two syllables you can practically hear the bodies slapping against each other. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/little-richard-20-essential-songs-15792/tutti-frutti-1955-209077/ https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/little-richard-dead-48505/
  9. FYI 19 ms = 19 thousands of a second - that is not a lot of time.

  14. What a great community this is. I would suggest if allowed by the shot is to place a soft surface under the talent and point the mic at it. It is a negative fill for audio and it really does help reduce the reflected sound, and it really does help. I did 2 movies where most of the dialog was in a school bus being towed on a 40ft trailer. One Production Designer loved the idea of covering the entire floor in a short industrial carpet, the other wasn't interested and left the linoleum. One movie was easy to mix and the other was not so easy and didn't come out as well. It is the reflections that make a room sound echoey and when you can reduce them it will all sound better. Al
  15. Does the MixPre 6v2 have an integral time code generator ? I have V1 and I use a Denecke box for TC, and it took a call to Sound Devices wonderful tech wizards to get me set and running.
  16. Question - what kind of latency are cameras inducing ? I remember an early f900 shoot where I was told I was out of sync and when we looked at it the sound was ahead of the video.
  17. If you are using wireless with the same latency there is no issue, no repairs needed.
  18. "At this point I'm tired and hate everything. Need to give this some time and put it out there." It is a journey not a destination and if I may paraphrase Martin Luther King ,"keep your eyes on the prize", which is a happy Jan living a balanced life in retirement. You are the only one really knows what you are looking for, but if you are value oriented look to the little towns that were once part of America's Industrial period and now are museums of 1800's buildings and victorian bungalows. A great excuse for blue highways road trip of discovery. There is a whole new chapter out there and you get to design it. Items to think about.

  20. Basic DSLR's of which the X-T3 is definitely one, I feel an on camera audio track is sufficient to sync to.
  21. If I can attach a G3 to the camera somewhere I am happy. If you are in the OCD mode you can set camera system time to as close as you can to slate TC. I think it would be evil to record linear analog time code on what is essentially a still's camera, any bleed would be onto the audio track and there would be no benefit to it.
