  • Recording a VO with Multibridge

    Posted by Steve Wargo on August 1, 2006 at 9:43 am

    We have a multibridge and a Multibrifge Extreme. We would like to do a VO session and record a person’s voice into Final Cut. We just don’t seem to be able to get this to work.

    We have a Nauman mic that requires phantom power so we run the mic into a Mackie 1402 mixer, with proper levels and send line level audio into our multibridge(s). We get no audio. In FCP, we select 8 bit uncompressed so that we are pulling the signal from the SDI cable coming from the Multibridge. Nothing. We have been fighting this for a while. Our solution has been to bring the audio into a DSR-500 camera via XLR cable and then firewire into the front of the G5. This seems to be OK but it certainly isn’t what we should be doing.

    Any solutions!

    Hi,

    This is the audio hardware solution for all your problems:

    https://www.rme-audio.com/english/firewire/ff800.htm

    I have two such units and they are just incredibile. You can directly plug in several Neumann mics without
    puting any noise mixer in beetwen and you shall be amazed of the quality of the converters.
    And it is the best responding firewire audio unit around with almost no
    latency what you can not say for other units on the market.
    You even have the LTC out option if you want to zero stripe the LTC time code on Digital Betacam tape
    for example from Nuendo application.
    It works with any asio aplication including Premiere, Audition, Nuendo, Sonar and etc…..
    And you can not do just one voiceover at once, but maybe 16 voiceovers if you like so.
    I have tested a lot of such units, but belive me it is the best unit around.

    I have one portable Fireface 800 unit for my Dell Precision M90 laptop usages and one
    hooked to my Yamaha DM2000V2 digital mixer via ADAT cables for the studio usages.
    And belive me for now it made more than 2000 promos for HBO channel with the combination
    of Powercore Firewire (usage of VSS and MD3 plugins), Yamaha DM2000V2, Neumann M149 Tube mics
    and the Nuendo software without any issue.

    Best regards,

    Gorazd.
