Dane Cody Posted April 28, 2012 Report Posted April 28, 2012 Hello all, been viewing this great forum for a while. Diving in with my first post. I did a search but couldn't find anything relevant, apologies if the topic has already been covered. I just purchased an iPad, Movieslate app & have installed CL WIFI on the iPad. I'll be going the paperless route for my sound reports & I would like to do the same for scripts, reading & annotating them on the iPad. Anyone doing this? Here's some background info, if at all helpful: I work on a long running television series that currently gives paper scripts to all crew members that need it. I use these to write my sound reports on the back of (notes mainly) & to mark up the scripts, making dialogue amendments & highlighting speech numbers according to boom 1, boom 2, lav 1,2,3 etc. I do this as I create a stereo mix of all necessary tracks, as most on here probably do. By using different coloured highlighters on the paper scripts, I know when to throw up and down the faders to minimise extra noise in the mix tracks, reduce confusion/too many signals for my boom ops & to just pull a clean mix for post. I'm told they use my mixes a lot of the time (as its a high turnover drama). Anyone else work this way or have different suggestions on other workflows? Any responses greatly appreciated! Thanks all.

Tyler Faison Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 Dane, There are a couple good threads about this actually. What recorder are you using? I assume SD 788T since you have CL-WiFi. What you're using is pretty common from what I hear, but I'll throw out a shameless plug for my sound report app, Sound Report Writer. It does a lot of the things as the others, but just in a different way. I actually have an update coming out soon that adds several highly requested features. Hoping to get it submitted to the app store tomorrow. I use my app and CL-WiFi/Wave Agent most often. Quote
AudioMTL Posted June 5, 2012 Report Posted June 5, 2012 I use sound report writer. Been great on this show. Waiting for some needed upgrades patiently. Only downside on one day I left auto lock off too long And accidentally deleted the days reports in my pocket! Rewrote them and Won't be making that error again! Quote
