That isn't necesarry, it's time consuming and time is money. What I described with the television truck is productions that have a requirement for good production quality. We produce final product in the field as a rule. Our product always meets or exceeds the quality expectation. This is an enviroment where zero tolerance for error is the rule. If an error, best case can be a client that doesn't pay. The worst case is someone loses their job. Disclaimer: My assertions are based on actual experience acquired over a number of years of doing this work professionaly. They are not college level hypotheses so it's likely I'm to naive and belligerent to see or admit to the shortcomings in producing final product from live events while in the field. :) In all seriousness productions like the one described are done with the methods I describe. ron Even the > compression could be > done later if the recorder has a good input amp and > enough (digital) > headroom for low-level recordings... > > In my current situation I would connect two > (wireless) lavs directly > to my tascam-usb-interface and record with > timemachine or something > similar and mix/compress later on. > > My 0.002?... > > Arnold > > -- > visit http://dillenburg.dyndns.org/~arnold/ > --- > Wenn man mit Raubkopien Bands wie Brosis oder > Britney Spears wirklich > verhindern könnte, würde ich mir noch heute einen > Stapel Brenner und > einen Sack Rohlinge kaufen. > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
