Ty,
Any advice is always reassuring, thanks. As for gear right now I have a Shure fp33 w/break away cable, a Sanken CS3e shotgun, 2 sennhieser lav systems, tram TR50’s, boom and rode blimp. I do not have a recorder which is my next purchase. The companies I work with have a H4n which I use but would prefer to get something better. The Sound Devices 552 is my goal but might get something cheaper in the mean time.
