Yes you can :)

Totally! 👍

Industrial strength Velcro on a power strip, plugged that into the adaptor port I drilled a hole for on the side of the box (link in description for all products)

Yeah the routing can get a bit mind boggling at times, at least on the 6 series. On the 8 series you can at least label everything and see everything on a grid in SD Remote.

Thanks so much Michael! Been a fan of your channel for a long time, appreciate it :D hope 2025 is off to a good start

Thanks so much! Yes I actually have started to integrate more Viviana stuff into my workflow… I am now using their puffy pouches quite a bit, as well as the extreme tape (awesome awesome product). I think Viviana has helped to innovate quite a bit in the expendables world -I attended a workshop a few weeks ago with Simon from URSA and they have a few new products coming out next year that are pretty cool. We are blessed to have so many options these days. I have a minicart setup that’s evolved quite a bit over the last two years. I’m going to integrate Systainer drawer system on the cart and then will likely make a new video about the organization. I am a big fan of the zuca carts, one of my good friends here has one of the og cannibal industries super zucas and it’s amazing! Thanks for the comment I appreciate it, love connecting with other sound pros on the channel. Cheers

Awesome choice, you're gonna love them!

Hey hey! Thanks for the kind words I’m glad you found it useful. Congrats on 25 years in the biz. Since both of the antennas you typically use have built in attenuation, plus the SL2 active filtering -I think you’re proooobably good? If you find yourself constantly battling walkies on set you might wanna think about adding narrowband filters. I’m not much of an RF guru myself but I’d say if it isn’t broken don’t fix it! If you felt the need to add active antennas into the system then I’d suggest a filtering antenna like LFA.

That’s a great idea for a video! I will make one on that topic next. Thanks for the comment and suggestion!

The lights are definitely handy on dark sets. Have fun building it out!

What is the max frequency response of audio over UHF?

Thanks for watching!

I have heard a few stories about the Mixpre internal TC generator being a bit of a weak point in the design of the recorder. Many mixers I know are using an external timecode generator with the mixpre series for this reason. ymmv but I think it could be a good idea!

As an Apple user, I totally understand. I bought this tablet (cheapest one on Amazon) specifically to run TXAdvance.

@@nicolasfieldsoundservices Damn.... it's worth the cost of an android tablet and a dongle to prevent any issues onset. Prevent even one incident with intermodulation and the time to troubleshoot to fix things and the whole setup pays for itself.

My pleasure!

Thanks so much! Super rad to hear that. Hope to see you soon bud!

Thanks for the comment. Absolutely, frequency coordination is the hidden hero of production!

You bet!

I am wondering - what is ‘intermod’?

@@LisaFly9 is a phenomenon that occurs when two or more signals pass through a nonlinear system, such as a radio frequency amplifier, and create additional signals at the sum and difference frequencies of the original signals. In simpler words, when 2 or more signals collide they can create more noise and causing interference with the selected signals and can overload your receiver, that's why it is so important to always do a scan on every location and TX Advance helps with the most difficult part, knowing where to put your transmitters without causing intermod. There's also FreqFinder (available for Android and iOS) that helps with the calculation of intermod, it doesn't scan, but it sure helps if you have a better grasp of what you're doing.

Awesome explanation!

@@charlesisrecording thanks so much for this!

@@sebastiangutierrezumana cheers! Thanks for checking it out.

Glad you like it!

@@nathanksimpson this is my third lol, everytime I lose it I do a deep dive on multi tools and end up buying the skeletool again!

@@nathanksimpson hi Nathan! actually the 833 does have compression and parametric eq!

You bet!

With XL-AES inputs, control surface and 3-rd part solution for control 7-12 channels, 833 is so versatile for light and loud setups

It’s seriously amazing. I have pulled off some complex shoots this year that wouldn’t have been possible with the 633. But I must confess I still have the 633 in a pelican case with me on every shoot!

Sweet, seems like a solid plan. If I were in your shoes, I would look at the Betso Bowties. The reason for this is that the Deity Butterfly is 470 MHz-1 GHz and their distro similarly offers no filtering. If you want to give the front end filtering on your G4s a break, utilizing an antenna that attenuates more out of band frequencies will help secure your reception.

@@nicolasfieldsoundservices Thanks for that tidbit of advice. I did end up going with a pair of the Betso Bowties along with the SRD mini based on your recommendation. That made perfect sense to me. And the Bowties were a bit cheaper on price than the BF-1. They look really nice mounted on my sound bag. While I currently do not have diversity receivers, at least I am set up for the future that I can utilize diversity receivers when I can save up for more professional receivers. I have already modified the G4's. It was extremely easy to do (less than 10 minutes per TX/RX pair) and I have already seen a marked improvement in the reception of the G4's with proper sized SMA antennas. I am short my order on SMA jumper cables at the moment, so I still cannot test how much improvement the Betso's can/will provide yet but the cables are on their way. Slow boat from China.....

It’s definitely a journey and I find that a lot of carts are never really finished! Have fun :)

they really need to Droog-ify their lineup! 😆

thanks! full track available here for your listening pleasure :) innertouch.bandcamp.com/track/binary-star

Sick! They are honestly a solid upgrade for any headphone.

Glad you liked it!!

Yeah it can be super tough not to over-tweak things in the writing/creation phase of production, that sounds like a healthy workflow! Cheers thanks for watching

Wisycom MCR54 quad receiver 🙏🏼

sent you an email 👍

Thanks. That would be cool! Definitely thought about it. Right now I have some PHA60 adapters for my transmitters and an MPR52 for the odd time I need a wireless boom. Digital ecosystem is compelling. But I’m really just waiting for wisycom to release a new plugon transmitter!!

Thanks! I am loving this rig. I recently added an MPR52 receiver via AES

You bet!

No problem!

Denecke TS-C Compact Timecode Slate ???

Correct! ☑️

@@zaharovevgen6346 okay, I could make a video about that. the bag is not complex. Battery splits to receiver and 833. Receiver plugs into AES module. Tentacle plugs into 5 pin lemo. Voila!

@@nicolasfieldsoundservices There just aren't many videos like this with assembly by professional equipment, that would be interesting.

@@coldbumby I have never heard of one failing, even in extreme conditions. But things do happen so it’s good to be prepared. I keep some G4s with me in case the receiver fails, but I don’t really worry about it. So far so good after 2 years. The way I see it, with recording TX you technically won’t miss anything even if every other part of your recording system goes down. That being said if you’re anything like me you’ll eventually want another receiver because…channels! Haha. I think the wisycom gear offers pretty great value when compared to its competitors, for sure. But it’s still a big investment for a freelancer.

@@nicolasfieldsoundservices Thanks for the insight! I really appreciate it. I guess after a few jobs I can get a backup receiver anyways. >with recording TX you technically won’t miss anything Oh you mean the onboard recording while transmitting? That's a good point, but unfortunately, I won't be able to have that since I'm in the U.S. Do you have any videos on why you picked Wisycom over other brands? Thanks dude

Dang, it’s a shame the record/transmit features are limited in USA. I don’t have a video comparing brands, basically like you I looked at the value proposition of a quad receiver and compared it to the rest of the market and Wisycom pricing was extremely competitive. I would keep my eye out for used deals too, I saw a 54 and 4x MTP40s with cos11ds for 9k USD on eBay the other day.

@@coldbumby your comment made me think about my setup and I bought a used MPR52 receiver so at least I have something else in case of emergency

@@nicolasfieldsoundservices haha nice.

Welcome!

Cool I might have to try that out! I’ll admit to being a bit conservative with what I use because it’s proven to work well and I don’t like experimenting too much on location. I did buy something new today that looks pretty useful: Viviana Moleskin Extreme. It is moleskin with a wire inside it so you can shape troublesome fabric and create space for your lav!

@@nicolasfieldsoundservices that's awesome. Might have to look into some of the moleskin. I will tell you, having a roll of Gorilla Tape (even the black kind) is definitely a good thing to keep on you in a pinch! Great video once again bro.

@AaronOverEverything maybe I’ll grab some and do a comparison video soon looking at some different options! Thanks so much Aaron appreciate it

@@nicolasfieldsoundservices for sure! Subscribed you up!💪🏽 take care

Theoretically you can use all of them if you use an active RF distro. Check out BSRF or PSC’s RF distribution units

@@nicolasfieldsoundservices thank you.

Thanks so much!

Thanks! It’s a fun little synth for sure :)

@@Timmyaguilar hahah. this video MIGHT be a bit soft

@@nicolasfieldsoundservices hahaha

@@nickhuston4510 thanks Nick! Cheers!

Happy to help! Cheers 🍻

Not entirely sure on this… but I think I remember getting slides by programming longer note lengths between notes? Sorry for the less than authoritative answer!

@@nicolasfieldsoundservices Thanks!
