millar Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Anyone encountered this? the meters on the ISO's look to be recording as per usual but all monitor outputs are outputting static including pfl's. Tried a cut/re roll as well as full power cycle. firmware 4.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afewmoreyears Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Try a total reset and reload of your set up... Did you actually listen to a recorded take?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millar Posted March 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 My assist is out in the field with it right now. Its a developing story ... I told him to try and plug xlr directly to the camera and use it as a mixer, record to the camera L&R tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millar Posted March 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 I got the cards back, files are all clean. Just the headphones had issues. I re-flashed the 633 with the 4.50 firmware again and it went back to normal. Note to self: carry a dedicated SD with the firmware already downloaded onto it with the kit with the 633. My 664 has been bullet proof for years, guess it's the analog guts in the 664 vs digital in the 633? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allistair Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 It's happened to some other people when they updated the firmware to 4.50 but didn't format the cards with the new firmware before using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afewmoreyears Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Are you saying that people used the same CF card with the new 4.50 firmware on it WITHOUT formatting the card back to a clear card before use?? They started their day with a card that STILL had the 4.50.prg file on it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think SD has discovered that you should format your cards (all of them) with the machine after the new firmware is installed. A card that you formatted using the machine with the older firmware may give you trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millar Posted March 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 The cards had been formatting in the morning before the first roll of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeheel Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Heya Millar. I've got a couple work days on my 633 with no issues at 4.50. (knocking on wood as I type) And the machine's been dead solid since 2014. More solid than my original very analog 442, which sometimes went nuts when moisture got into the gain trims. Not that that ever happens in our neck of the woods... Cheers, Brent Calkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinTheMixer Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hello all, Someone write the closing scene for this one. I'm really curious how this one ends. Sincerely, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millar Posted March 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I reverted back a version to 4.10. I don't feel like being a guinea pig when production is paying for my gear to work without major glitches. Monday morning I'll put a call in to SD and see what they say but my feeling is firmware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LASoundWorks Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 SOLVED : I had same exact problem.. except static was also outputting to comteks and blew up studio village... I temporarily fixed by resetting 633 - (turning off device and holding down menu button for 7seconds). Firmware update 4.51 fixes this bug. If your running versoin 4.50, and using mix assist, you are at risk of randomly outputting loud static noise across all of your output channels. This has been confirmed by sound devices support. While using firmware 4.50, it is safe to run Dungan Automix as an alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
