recording multitrack audio on the field (i mean "on the field" !) who did that ?
hello
i am planning to setting up a field multitrack recording system (documentary 5.1 shooting in natural reserves all over the country) i choose to use the edirol fa-101interface hooked to a pc via firewire ; i was advised by people at edirol tu use cakewalk sonar soft for recording Did anybody use this config before ? I don't have the soft at the moment i am just looking for advices My problems : 1/ handling of time-code i can have a wire or wireless connection with the camera (beta 600) but do i have to record the time-code as an audio track like we used to do or do i have to convert it to midi time-code and input it in the pc (in this case is this MTC recorded syncronous with audio ?) I read somewhere that sonar does'nt export midi, this could lead to serious problems 2/managing audio tracks after recording are the audio tracks exportable as separate audio files (wav) each one with its track number and session name ? otherwise how would you manage this when transferring to a DAW ? Subsequent question: i want to burn a dvd each day with all the files recorded during this workday what format of files will be burnt on the dvd ? Thank you to all who will try to help me Philippe BIDAULT DES CHAUMES, Paris, france |

I have done a good deal of natural sound surround for the past two years.
The best recorder is just being released right now for that use with video. See Sound Devices 744T and consider a used MP2 as the second outboard pre that will be needed. http://www.sounddevices.com/products/7.htm Myself I use a RME Multiface with a Quadmic Preamp. I built a custom case for field use on batteries and get very nice 4 channel natural sounds where the surround is not reinforcement but becomes a total immersion. I usually record 4 individual .wav tracks at 24/44.1 and then use proprietary software to encode to dolby 5.1. I have the capability currently to go 8 channel but lack the 8 matched full range speakers to be able to tell you if it is worth that effort. I currently prefer to ignore the center front on 5.1 but do find that the home theater people prefer that I mix front right and left to the center. Mic setups are a very long subject matter in immersion surround. Good luck.
