The Lectrosonics SRc receivers come without a backplate. If you want to use them in a bag so they have two TA3 outputs and a power input, you need a SREXT adapter kit.
For this kit for this company, I recorded everything in 32-bit float, so gain structure is irrelevant except for setting it correctly at the transmitter (the louder the gain, the better range you get). So those are just set as loud as is reasonable to balance audio quality without the limiters crushing everything and still get good range.
Depends on the ratio of the bags weight to how long you'll be wearing it. 3 pounds around your neck for an hour, maybe overkill. 20 pounds for 8 hours straight, you'll want one. This setup is very light, and I don't use for more than 4 hours in a day, so I'm good. It's less than 15 pounds I'd guess. Work a typical day without a harness and make the decision then. Harnesses add weight.
@@atomterrible Okay, that actually makes a lot of sense, not sure why I didn't think of it like that.. Thank you very much for making this video + your insight! Very helpful.
@@matthewsmith910 24-bit is always easier to work with, even if the person doing post can handle it easily. Think of it as recording video footage in RAW. Bigger filesizes, and the post guy has to do an extra step just to make it usable. It makes run-n-gun easy now, post harder later. Always ask post about it if you can, and if you have good limiters and any knowledge about how to set levels, 32 float is indeed overkill most times.
@@atomterrible Are you recording 32-bit float with just your boom or with the lavalier input as well? From my understanding and from trying it myself, it's not really 32-bit float once it's gone through the transmitter and receiver. It is bound by the 24 bit of the Tx/Rx. The audio files end up having lots of flexibility in post, seemingly a little more than 24-bit. But they're not quite as flexible and the noise floor is more present than 32-bit. It's kind of like capturing 10-bit ProRes through an Atomos recorder with the old Canon C100. It's not as brittle as the 8-bit native codec, but it's not true 10-bit either.
@@atomterrible When you think about how it really isn't adding that many more steps and the file size is still so miniscule compared to video, it doesn't make sense to me that post aren't happy with 32-bit float. I think part of it is being resistant to change and thinking of it as a feature for lazy recordists who don't want to ride their levels. I also think the guys who are 24-bit till they die usually own the high end Sound Devices mixers that don't have 32-bit float. I don't blame them. I'd be pissed if I owned a $9,000- $12,000 mixer that doesn't have 32-bit float while there were people with $900-$1,800 mixers from the same company as mine which had that feature. That would be like owning a really nice camera that only shoots ProRes, then the same company comes out with cameras that are way cheaper with less features, but they shoot RAW. P.S. Thanks for posting the video. I'm about to pull the trigger on a MixPre-10 ii and some Lectrosonics Tx/Rx's myself. Subscribed.
Thank you for this video! So helpful. Two questions - what bag is that specifically? OR-280? Also, what Rycote wind protector do you have on your MKH416? Good for outdoors? Thanks!!!
It's called the "KSTGJ" which stands for "K-Tek Stingray Junior Audio Mixer Recorder Bag." B&H no longer carries it, but it's available on k-tek's website. The closest thing that B&H carries now is the "Stingray Jet X Bag."
@@atomterrible Oh awesome, thanks! I didn't know K-Tec made a bigger bag for the Mix-Pre. I have their smaller bag for the Mix-Pre 6, back when the MKI was first released. Looking to upgrade to get more room for receivers and extra goodies.
A1 gives the widest range of channels. B1 is slightly more limited in terms of legal frequencies, and C1 recently got repurposed and is now illegal to broadcast on.
ReinOwader It gives you a stereo .avi file which is really wonky to work with, and RU-vid required you to out them side by side, squashed horizontally, and then you need to add a certain tag (can't remember what it was since this was 6 years ago, and I sold the camera for a nice profit about a year ago when they stopped making these.) If you want to watch it properly to work with different 3D methods (red/cyan, cross-eye, etc.), you'll need to watch with Firefox as it's the only one that supports 3D content anymore as far as I know. Thanks for the comment.
Bought the binder and card pages. Had to return the binder since the middle ring would not close all the way, allowing pages the become loose. Anyway, when I stuff cards into the binder pages (I bought Ultra pro platinum) the cards seem to pop out when I flip pages. Should I buy new pages or will this happen regardless of the card pages I buy?
I have this storage solution too, I love it! Not only is cleanup and setup a breeze because the cards are all fully visible and organised by set and alphabetical order, and you don't need to look at the flimsy organiser card to find where each set of cards is, but you can also view the full artwork which brings a lot more enjoyment from the collection. Setup time and shutdown is MUCH easier if you have cards from more than 1 set in the game, and the time saved increases with every different set used.
Thanks for the video, I've done this with my own set after finding this using your links. I have everything including Adventures now and can't seem to fit them all. I'm wondering, how did you handle adding the Adventures expansion to your setup here?
+Ruttiger0 I don't have Adventures yet, but it's near Christmas *wink*. I would probably try ditching the extra sets of coin and VP cards and the randomizers. Otherwise, I would recommend a couple of 3-inch binders (which would probably make setup and cleanup faster as well).
***** Make sure you're using Firefox, or anything but Chrome. If you're using tinted glasses, make sure that red is on the right. Also, in the settings, you can always flip the right and left images (except in Chrome since there are no 3D settings available.)
at897 would sound much better right above your head pointing at your chest-chin, your should redo a test like that as it would make the reverb pretty equal.
mrwashur1991 It would definitely sound a lot fuller. All shotguns do sound pretty slappy in the low end in small rooms compared to cardiod condensers because of the way they reject off-axis. Thanks for the comment.
