    I have found a Deca Tree to be a handy item to keep in my bag.

  • I have no experience with that unit, but do have an Azden 400UDR Receiver & 41XT UHF Transmitter.
    I tend to agree with Peter, that in my experience with this product, it lacked the quality of the Lectrosonics or the Sennheiser. And I use this wireless for less demanding tasks, like say a feed to the boom-op.

    [Aharon Rabinowitz] “Has anyone worked on anything they’d consider noteworthy?”

    Well Aharon, at this point in my life, I consider anything that pays the bills “noteworthy” 😉
    By the way, thanks for taking the time to give back to the community with your AE tutorials.
    They are very handy.

    As of late, I have just completed narration for Mossy Oak’s Whistling Wings TV series
    which airs on the Outdoor channel.
    The narration of Meineke’s big Vegas extravaganza.
    Narration of company wide training pkg. for Tamko Roofing.
    Voiced new spots for Caesars Indiana, VO on a couple of Fishing Shows for ESPN, a handful of Car Dealerships across the US, Sound Design for a Rodeo spot, DP on a shoot for a Jewelry Store… that’s the short list.

    or a vari-ac to control voltage to the drive motor?
    change the size of the drive pullys at the spindle and motor to change the speed of the plater?

    Something along the line of the U87 you suggested into the Vt737sp via Mogami cable should work fine.
    I tend to run the mic pre flat, no EQ no compression when doing VO work, and add the compressor in the computer as a plug-in, where I can change the amount of compression and or EQ at will.
    Run the Avalon into a Benchmark AD1 converter and you have a killer front end.
    Pick what ever stand you find sturdy enough and fits your needs. Don’t forget to get a music stand for your copy. And a pop filter as well.

  • I do my timelapse with very inexpensive BTV Pro software.

    It would depend on you, since you are the editor.
    How do you capture and output 720×480 or 720×486?

    Ouch!

    Also a friendly reminder for those putting a new lamp into a fixture.
    Never install a new lamp with your bare oily fingers.

    Hi Noah,
    Having some idea of the the quality you are use to, let me give you my two cents.

    The Baby Bottle should be just fine, and perform equally as well for voiceover or singing.
    You will probably want to have access to something like a Sennheiser 416 if you will be doing ADR work.

    My experience with Blue microphones has been a positive one to date,
    having used their Dragonfly Mic on hundreds of voiceovers with excellent results.
    At any rate, you will want a PreAmp unit with phantom power, thats a given.
    I guess your next decision is ” firewire or USB ” interface.
    Will you be using other usb or firewire functions at the same time as the recording interface that might conflict with the audio interface?
    For example, sometimes there might be a problem using an AJA IO interface along with a MOTU 828mkII audio interface, both firewire units, at the same time.

    If it were me, I would probably scoop up one of the last original Digidesign M-Box interface. I just picked up an extra one from GuitarCenter for a great price.
    It comes with ProTools, which I use more than any other audio platform.

    If you are going to need more than two audio inputs at a time,
    then a firewire audio interface will more than likely be needed.
    For example, a cost effective portable home studio / location sound recording system could be based on your Powerbook, by using something like a MOTU Traveler or MetricHalo interface with BoomRecorder software.

  • My Thoughts…. Vist your neighborhood pawn shop and purchase a used 4-track dirt cheap.
