    Hi Alan,

    Two other minor points to consider: RF is line of sight dependent and the orientation of the antennae of the receivers and transmitters ideally should match. Vertical/vertical or horizontal/horizontal.

    I’ve heard lots of good things about sound devices mixers including the 302. Do a search and read up. about $1400. I use the shure fp33 with good results. If I were to buy again I’d go for the 302.

    If the old internal drives were put into external enclosures would the Intel Mac have any trouble reading and writing to them?

  • It’s best to have media files on a different hard drive not a different partition. What a different partition is good for is to have a different operating system and apps. So, for example, if you have an old version of FCP that also needs an old version of OS X or even 9 and an old version of QT you can set up a partition for just that. But the media files belong on an external drive if there is no room for an extra internal one.

    Mike, the subjects of night scenes are usually lit and manual settings of the camera set for the lit areas of the frame. Zoom in on the subject, put the cam on auto, then lock down those setting by switching to manual. See what you think of these settings and adjust from there. If there are dark portions of the frame and the cam is left on auto it might be over compensating thus creating the grainy image. If this is not the case and you are manually setting everything then I’d guess you need more light on the subject. Do a search for
