Sound Devices 8-Series : MS-stereo questions

[chrisP]

I work with the Sound Devices 833 and for outdoor i have a MKH8060 with Schoeps CCM8 ontop in a Cinela Basket. A perfect set-up for documetaries where the post-team knows how to treat MS-stereo files ( i deliver them the descreet Mid & Side iso's in addition to the wireless iso's).

But for situations where i know the post-team knows absolutely nothing about MS-decoding i want to record (and deliver) a decoded left- and right-stereo. This seems to work only if i send the MS-signal to the Mix L&R with MS-Link switched on and record the Mix.

I remember my workflow with the MixPre where it could be set in the menu wether to record the MS-signal decoded or not - seems not to be the case on my 833.

 

Does anybody know a simple way to have the MS-Signal decoded and then recorded without having to send it to the mix (with SD 8 series)?

How is your workflow regarding MS-Ambiences recorded simultaniously to regular takes ?
