Donald Kauffman Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Hi folks Is it possible to still use Wingman when using a CL12 with a 633? Never used one but thinking of renting. I see the CL12 is connected through the USB so does that mean there's no way to connect the WM dongle? Thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 when i was using my 688 with CL12, the wingman plugged into one of the USB sockets at the back of the CL12. i assume the same will be true with the 633. it would be worth having a look through the 688 and cl12 manuals in case its not mentioned in the 633 manual.

Donald Kauffman Posted January 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Thanks Rich. I did see that usb on the back of the CL12 and wondered if that would do it. I'll take a look at the manuals and see. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungo Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Did it lately. Works. Though I was running the latest firware, I faced some minor bugs. - once the meter views in Wingman were freezing - sometimes Wingman app would reboot itself all of a sudden - often 633 wouldn't boot properly, resulting me pushing menu button for 10 seconds ... I must say that I was running all devices (633, CL12, receivers, Lockit, Ipad) all on one v-mount battery which probably is not the best idea because it may draw too much power during the process of switching on. But no problems with recording or files. I'm used to using the CL12 together with an SD664 which works better in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Kauffman Posted January 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Ok thanks a lot for the detailed response. I do need to look at powering options as I generally just rely on L Mount batts on the 633. So will keep that in mind Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 If you've never used the 633/CL12 before, be aware you've only getting a subset of the features you would normally get with the CL12 when with a 688:https://cdn.sounddevices.com/download/guides/CL-12ug_en.pdf 6 hours ago, Donald Kauffman said: Ok thanks a lot for the detailed response.

Then you only need to worry about a couple of batteries for your bag each day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungo Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Iron, that document says that there's no auto mixer control on the 633. Seems that SD has to update it: I remember having used Dugan - and the corresponding LED on the CL12 was on in each selected channel. Wingman gave more detailed visual feedback. This worked well.
