boodschap Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 My old gear is moving to a project in Africa and I'm wiring it all up. I want to use the direct outs from the 442 to go in my old 744, so 4 channels can be recorded separately. But of course the direct outs are pre fader. Any chance to get them post fader? Or another solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPSharman Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hmmm... If there's no mix, then why post fader? Why risk the fader being bumped closed and losing your track? If you want a mix output to go to something being monitored, then again you'd want the direct outs to be pre-fader. If you want a track to not be recorded, then turn the gain all the way down or don't track that on the 744T. I can't see a scenario where post fader direct outputs would be useful in your scenario.

Rick Reineke Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 If you 'really' want post fader use the 442's main outputs into the 744's 3-4 inputs and plug the other two mic's direct to the 744 channels1-2. Post fader doesn't make much sense to me either though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Deakin Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Direct outs on a 442 are pre fader. There is no way of changing that on the 442. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boodschap Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Well, I'm of two minds in this, as I'm not gonna use it, I thought it might be easier if the 744 works just as a recorder and TC and therefore be post fader. As most probably only two transmitters will be used, I might consider left (boom)/right (wireless) out to 1/2 and 2 wireless direct out to 3/4.

boomhead Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 If you only have three sources (boom + 2 wires) then record the 442 mix output (post fader, L or R) on one track of 744. Use other 3 tracks to record each mic iso pre-fader from 442 direct outs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use other 3 tracks to record each mic iso pre-fader from 442 direct outs. With this workflow, you get three isolated tracks and mix track. Don't forget to calibrate 442 and 744.

boodschap Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 As it needs to be a versatile set, I think I will write some manuals :-) Thanks everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
