Edmond Smith Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 My school just recently got a SoundDevices 552 mixer and I am extremely anxious to get my hands on it and test it out. Are there any tips and/or tricks to using the 552? Like how to bag it, any short cuts or anything of the sort? How similar are the controls/system to the 744T? Thanks everyone in advance!

Matt Mayer Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 While the 552 has internal recording capability, it is much more akin to the 442. There are a series of quick video tutorials, on some of the basics, available from the Sound Devices website: http://www.sounddevices.com/video/552.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertKennedy Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I made a video covering some of the basics when the 552 was first released. Hopefully it has some useful nuggets: http://soundandpictureonline.com/2011/05/coffeyklatch-sound-devices-552/ -Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
