Hey, So im new here. Great site with a wealth of info - i hope to share some of my experiences as time goes by. Im kinda new to the Film Sound world and have been gathering great experiences for the past few months - I work mainly as a " 1-man-band ", doing all the Booming, Mixing and Recording on Indie productions. I love it and hope to make a career as a Sound Recordist. Heres my Situation: SOUND DEVICES 552 feeding a TASCAM dr70D Recorder - Outputing 552 DIRECT OUT, PRE-FADE to the Tascam = 4 channels of I.S.O Using the Internal 552 recorder as a MIX . eg: Lavs Left MIX / Booms Right Mix. On my latest project, Post want a POLY - Wav FILE. 6 Channels ( 4 I.S.O & 2 MIX) for each shot. Since this is my first request for such( most are fine with re-named mono files) in my ignorance I've been trying , un-successfully, to combine the files in WAVE AGENT but with no luck. It seems to be a problem due to the start/end times of each recording not matching exactly - since I have to press record on the 2 machines for each shot/take. My question : Is it even possible to combine files from 2 seperate machines into a single polyfile. Is there a work around for this? Anyone been here before and can offer me some advice would be great! I just wanna do what is standard operating procedure for the future ;-) Im not using Timecode Cheers, Tim
