Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)
Of course got to release the BTS to their marketing video, showing the Fujfilm X-H1 rigged up to the max (ohhhh.... I spot a Roland R88! A moment of silence for his back please):
Never seen this product before, as it is a brand brand new product that isn't shipping yet. But as a Marantz it should be worth checking out.
Has a low low price of US$399
2.4 GHz Digital Transmitter (like RodeLink, no need to worry about what frequencies are legal)

What dB pad is right to use with a mini XLR to XLR cable for the original RED ONE?
As it appears the original RED ONEs (later RED ONEs had this fixed) had an issue that audio in would distort, so RED would sell cables with a built in pad.
But I can't find info anywhere as to exactly what specs...
This is not mine at all, but the topic is absolutely fascinating! Felt I had to share it here.
As this documentary just popped up on Amazon:
Fascinating! He is the best card mechanic in the world.
So I was looking a bit more into it, reading this...
The best cheapest not-wireless "wireless" the Tascam DR10L is on sale at B&H for $139
Can't afford wireless? (as anything below a G3/UWP-D11 is junk) Don't care if you can't monitor your audio??? :-o (straight to audio hell you go!)
Then boy oh boy does B&H have an end of year deal for you...
Used the Zoom F-Control for the first time (was a while ago, although only just now got around to uploading the vlog):

I just got emailed a notification that finally this is in Stock at B&H:

This might *maybe* just perhaps replace the Tascam DR70D as the best recorder at this price point...
Fun fact:* Lectrosonics UM250b*are legal here in NZ, but illegal in Australia!*:-o*(because it is 250mW. Compare that to say the very popular Sennheiser G3, which is 30mW!)
So yeah, I can't promise it will be illegal in your country (as it might be legal like it is for me in NZ), but hey, throw...
More info here about the SMWB (uses a single AA battery, a very small transmitter!):

And the info for the dual battery version...

Would be a 10 track recorder priced somewhere between the MixPre6 and 633, I assume.
Wrote up a little guide for people new to this and looking to buy their first recorder. And is the way I see the world of low budget recorders is they're ranked like this (starting from worst/cheapest to best/expensive):
Tascam DR22WL / Zoom H1 (I'd suggest skipping right over this tier of...
Wondering about what low cost audio interface to get?
Important points for me, in order of priority (but I could potentially be flexible on these):
1) 2x XLR inputs
2) 96kHz & 24bits
3) good pre amps
4) good limiters (which doesn't seem to be that common? Though a few like the Roland Rubix24...
So I'm the soundie on a low budget indie feature being shot overseas, and my first day here I got thrown a bit of a curveball when they revealed to me they plan to do ADR while they're shooting it at the same time.... and they're expecting to have completed all the ADR before the last day of...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've been pondering which of the many time code options to invest in (as the choices have exploded lately due to NAB 2017!), and it seems like the "best" bang for buck option would be the Timecode Systems' UltraSync ONE bundle for US$915? (1 x :wave + 2 x UltraSync...
