Hey Dallas,

One could wire an XLR to be unbalanced stereo but the TASCAM won’t understand it and it would likely cause you problems later when you forgot that it was wired that way and tried to use it elsewhere.

Having Eric make a custom cable for you would work. The TASCAM XLR inputs – are they the type that also accept 1/4″ male plugs?

Hello Dallas and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

If I’m reading you correctly. you have two transmitters and only one receiver., a Saramonic RX9 two channel receiver.

https://www.saramonicusa.com/products/rx9

You appear to have a plumbing problem. stereo output of the Saramonic and mono XLR input of the Tascam DR-40.

You would need to use BOTH XLR inputs for the DR40 and have a cable that splits the output of the RX9 into to legs, one for each channel of the DR40. I don’t know if one is made, but Eric Toline, a member of this form, specializes in custom cables. Contact him at audioetc@bellsouth.net.

The four channels of the DR 40 use their two built in mics plus whatever you plug in to the XLRs. I’ve seen a hand-held recorder like the DR-40 with a modular design for the built-in mics. The Zoom H5. One of the modules will allow you to record using all four tracks with separate mics. Here’s my review of the Zoom H5.

I don’t know which Rode mic to which you are referring, and how you intend to use it.

Hell Brian,

While I agree with Eric, I would steer you to Countryman E6 mics. They ride very gently on the ear and you never have be ticked off because your guest wandered off mic and sounded like, well you know.

Here’s one with an XLR. They are available with many different connectors. https://bhpho.to/2G3TB0x

Rob,

Yeah, very weird. It has size (MB), space on timeline, take number in WaveAgent (an app from Sound Devices) but no guts.

Good luck and if you do find out waht’s going on, please let us know.

Sound…yep. The best sound draws no attention to itself.

Hell Dustin,

Get an hourly rate and try to get a ballpark figure of what they expect the cost to be.

Have a “deal memo” in writing with what you expect of them and what you expect to do for yourself. Also add a time table and payment table. So much up front, so much halfway through (time wise) and the balance upon completion.

This would be more for music and specific sound effects, but……Do you own the rights to their work or do they? Or do they license the work to you specifically for this production., allowing them to use it elsewhere. Or, is it licensed to you exclusively and none of it may be used by them on other projects with other people?

Peter Groom on this forum might have some helpful ideas.

Sorry I don’t know where that is. I can’t see a forum by that name.

Hello Rob and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

Curious. Can you post some of these somewhere so we can download them?

Hello Dustin and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

Do you know enough to improve your dialog and nat sound or will you only make things more difficult for others?

I think the best action would be to talk it over with your prospective sound designers. Some may want to work with your dialog and nat sound, others may try to work around it.

Hello Anmol and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

The preset you choose depends on which TV system(s) you’ll be sending your program to. You may need more than one!
