I love how excited you get when a sound nugget is captured. Some people plan so much beforehand (all the way to checking plane flights) and try to control so many things that they don’t allow for chance, or don’t welcome it. Being open to surprises and happy accidents is a lot more relaxed and fun.

@FreeToUseSounds 2 года назад

Wow - this is amazing - I just bought a Zoom F6 after debating forever about getting a SD MixPre6 - so I'm looking forward to your objective and unbiased assessment of the 2 recorders. Love the work you do - thanks so much.

@FreeToUseSounds 2 года назад

Hi Anton, thank you so much and yes I will do an honest review but I can already tell you is that the F6 has already the ambisonic function. For the MixPre you need to pay $50 more and it only allows you to record in 24 bit. It is still possible to record the raw A format with the MixPre but it needs to be converted. Also if it comes to power options, the F6 is the winner. I can't use my Watson Battery without paying another $160 for the adapter. This is just too much in my opinion. The F6 has that also included.

@jkingwhistler 2 года назад

I subscribed today. Very nice video productions you are making. I’m a production sound mixer but like most of us I have always had a interest in field recording. I like how you buy first rate gear so you can grow into it as you learn more about using it all. I have a MixPre-6 II and a BP4025, BP4029, 8050, and 8040 mics for field use. I really enjoy how you mix the tracks in the videos, sounds like I am there listening with you .

Hi Marcel. Great video as usual. I would like to have the Sound Devices too, they speak very well about it. Without using suspension systems with Audio Technica to record the passage of the train, did you have any problems with the vibrations produced on the ground by the train? I await your direct comparison between the Zoom F6 and the Sound Devices MixPre 6 II

@FreeToUseSounds 2 года назад

Hi Giancarlo. Did you hear any vibrations? :) This is the original and unprocessed audio. The only suspension rig that could work is from Rycote and cost over $600. Or the Cinela but that another $1000. I don't want to spend that much money for this mic.

You should refer this question to Philippe itself. The founder of Cinela. He can give you the answer you're looking for.

@dalemettee1147 2 года назад

OK Marcel, I'll give you the story of a recordist worst might mare. At one time, I used to record weddings on the weekends. A few extra dollars didn't hurt. So this particular weekend, a wedding on Saturday about 11:00 A.M. So all was going well until the bride and groom had to say their "I do's". a lot of people when very nervous, start to whisper. Well both of them were whispering and here I am trying to capture all this on audio tape. I'm straining to hear with the volume controls all the way up. all of a sudden a fire engine drives by. It's siren starts to sound off. Both VU meters pin out, my headphones come off real fast. Home after everything is put away, I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to save this event. I finally decided to splice another wedding tape into this one to get the correct effect of the bride and groom saying their vowels. no one every suspected my corrections.

@FreeToUseSounds 2 года назад

Ahh I guess you might the one who started the "we fix it in post" line? :) Wow what a story.

@VictorMichaud 2 года назад

Hi ! Good video ! Would you recommand this recorder over the Zoom F6 ? Is the preamps better on the MixPre ? Thank you !

@FreeToUseSounds 2 года назад

Hi Victor, This really depends what you're looking for. If price is important to you, the F6 is cheaper and has more to offer. No extra payment for plugins and battery adapter. You also have more plugins. Navigating through the menu is slightly more difficult on the MixPre. But thats all about learning curve. If you only want to use it for field recording plus ambisonic sounds, the F6 is perfect. If you need it for work go with the MixPre. Another factor you should look into is weight. The F6 with the Ktek bag is much lighter. The MixPre with the Ktek or Orca bag is heavier.

@Gallanitte 2 года назад

This is very interesting as I am shopping for a recorder. I feel that Zooms are a lot more affordable and easy to find, but I am curious about the noise floor. That the sound devices is able to crank the gain so high and hear not noise at all is impressive. I would be curious to see a comparison at the same gain, especially for the noise.

@FreeToUseSounds 2 года назад

I make a video and do exactly this :)

@AllenCavedo 2 года назад

In field recording it is virtually impossible for recorder self noise to be heard above the ambient sound.

@craig4297 2 года назад

From the manufacturer specs the Equivalent Input Noise is -128 dBu for the Mix Pre 6ii vs -127 dBu for the Zoom F6. Interesting, Tascam does not provide this data for the X8, and customer service cannot locate it either. I expect it’s also very good from the reviewer comments so far about low noise from the XLR inputs. If anyone has found the Equivalent Input Noise spec for the Tascam X8, please share it with us.

@qwiklok 2 года назад

I've done a lot of research by professionals who make a living in thus. They have unanimously chosen Mixpre 6 or 10. Zoom didn't make it. Tascam was inexpensive but roo many flags. The others were also rans. Pros know,what they need and are fussy. I trust them.

Hi Thomas, Oh yeah, this is the nearest I would go to a railroad track. Also, the Geofon would not be the best choice to attach to the train tracks.

Do you think that's an interesting cheaper option ?

@FreeToUseSounds 2 года назад

Thank you David. Thank you so much for watching. That won’t work with USI Pros because in order to create an ORTF or XY stereo image it all depends on the microphone patterns of the microphone. USI Pro are omnidirectional meaning “all”. You record all sides. The MKH for example are cardioid meaning you record in a certain angle. It’s very important to understand that because that way you know what microphones you need for certain microphone positions.

Currently Marcel, I'm the sound guy at the local senior center. They have a small drama group, not only do I work the PA system for them but I also do the sound effects. I've always wanted to control the ringing of a telephone. In the US, the current is 120 volts @ 60 Hz. The ringer circuit uses 90 volts @ 20 Hz. Now you can ring a phone with a small box that is solid state and delivers that specific current. $100.00 that's all. I can ring two phones at once. You and Lilly have a great day and a great weekend. BTW, when traveling, do you have any trouble getting flights to where you want to go what with all of the virus going on?

You mean Libby :)..No trouble at all. We follow all rules and travel only to the countries that allow tourism.

@dalemettee1147 2 года назад

@@FreeToUseSounds Sorry, I meant Libby. Just think of all the countries you could go to if there weren't any restrictions.

Who here has an opinion on the absolute best sounding recorder. Whether in production or not in production? I was planning to get a cantar X3 but the company decided to close its doors permanently. Price is not a factor whether in production or not I need the absolute best sounding field recorder

@FreeToUseSounds 4 месяца назад

Ohhh you want to look into Sonosax! Or Sound Devices top tier model. However, I saw in one of the post production groups on Facebook that somebody sells the cantar X3. Want me to look if its still available?

@SaccoBelmonte 2 года назад

That device looks extremely high fidelity.

@FreeToUseSounds 2 года назад

👍🏼 In your next video in nature using the MixPre + mic-pair, could you include the Cloud-lifter (or a similar booster)? And also, compare the sensitivity and noise floor of its auto-limited 32bit float to the noise floor of manual 24bit? - In a similar nature environment as in this video insects and herbivores chewing, no moving water and in still-air.

I will look into it.
