howy Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Zaxconvert will chop the files up to prevent you from making files that are too large. The files should perfectly butt up to each other however unless you are doing sample rate conversion. -howy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Ear Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I also have moved to the push pull connectors, and have had fewer failures on them than on the screw on type. I get them from mouser normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Carretero Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I´ve just tried the LAs boot up to remote standby mode, and I don´t know how to access the advance menu even if I start them by pressing menu. Nothingh is said in the manual or I just can´t find it Thx in advance for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothingh is said in the manual or I just can´t find it Thx in advance for your help! If you boot up in remote standby, then want to be in the extended menu, you can go to the lock screen, press down 6 times before the timer runs out. That'll get you to the factory menu, and if you press up from there you'll drop into the extended menu. For me, holding the menu button longer when you have to press menu + (up button) seems to get me into the extended menu anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Carretero Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Thx Justin and Mike; I´ll take a closer look ASAP, now I´m involve in a different production for a few days. I´ll let you know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Carretero Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Great Justin: you where right; pressing 6x down arrow in the lock screen took me to the factory menu, then I jumped to the extended menu thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Thanks for try the tip, Justin. That's handy to know. I would caution people to take care to avoid fussing within the factory menu as that could possibly mess some things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galwaysound Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 If you press down 5 times you go straight to the extended menu, the 6th press brings you to the factory menu where you don't really need to be as John has mentioned.

Jack Norflus Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Yes very bad things can happen in the factory menu. If you don't need to be there don't go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Ear Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 I personally wish the factory menu was harder to get into, as in it has to happen on boot, or at least has a different key combination. I go into the extended menu on a daily basis, but I never have the need to go into the factory menu. Now that I write this, I will go make the request on the Zax forum too.

Derek H Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 I agree, every time I'm in the factory menu it freaks me out a bit. Especially since there are a few items that exist in both the factory and the extended menu trees. I've occasionally caught myself changing settings while in the factory menu thinking I was in the extended menu. Would be a real bummer to accidentally change something while moving fast on set and then end up with a bricked TRX or cause some strange problems. Personally, I think they should integrate the ERX/QRX update routine into the regular extended menu so that the end user would never need to access the Factory menu. Then they could bury it much deeper, like 6 key presses on power-up only or something. The way I usually access the extended menu now is through the lock-screen trick so I'm always scrolling past the factory menu and have to remember to stay out! Ultimately not a big deal, but little tweaks like this go a long way to instill user confidence I think. I remember a fellow sound mixer telling me once, "Zaxcom stuff is cool, I guess, but you need to have an engineering degree to figure it out!". Obviously, figuring it out is part of the gig as a sound mixer but the more fool proof the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Carretero Posted August 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 After some days recording with the LAs surrounded by flames during long periods I have to tell you that they are doing really great. Everyone in the crew is really excited about what why can get thanks to the Zaxcom gear. The shooting is going really fine and I would like to thank you all for your friendly advice. I´ll let you know more details as soon as we face more situations. Just to tell you one the coolest things that I didn´t expect; once I got rid of wind and clothes scratching on the lavs, the capture of sound is so clear that I am even editing ambient sounds and other effects directly from the lavs, f. e. chainsaws, sirens, and radio transmisions. BTW; on the LAs I´m using Countryman B6s. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 No one should ever be in the factory menu. If settings are changed the unit will have to come back to the factory and it would not be under warrantee. Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, I have to go past the factory menu to get into the extended menu, which I do daily. It's too easy to think you are in the extended menu, and actually be in the factory menu.
