I've put together a little portable rig cause I don't have a room. Turns out it's pretty fun bouncing around with my studio on my back.
Gear:
A&H MW 16:2
RNP x2
RNC x2
Alesis HD24
all wrapped up in a silly SKB gigrig
various cheesy mics and other paraphernalia

Everything moves around in the back of my Volvo. Classy!

Cool forum, I wish it was more active!

[wyndrock]

there are a lot of people doing the remote thing now. i wonder how different it is from when steve was younger.

[ohoen]

Yeah, the casters came with my gigrig (it's the big one), it would be impossible to deal with otherwise. I edit with PTLE just cause it's cheap and I'm pretty comfortable with it. Right out of the box the HD24 interfaces with a cat5 cable. Supposedly it's super slow and glitchy. When I bought mine they were offering their firewire interface for free with the purchase so I have that and it works well. How are you patching everything? Routing has been a nightmare for me. I'm just now getting ready to wire a patchbay.

[wyndrock]

remote recording is fun and rewarding in many ways. i'd like to fan out and try some other things having to do with location audio.

Quantity and quality together is surely a win win situation but quality over quantity is not so bad if you had to pick one over the other…

Remote recording –- We’re like 2 to 5 percent of the music recording industry. If you looked at it this way, we’re really not doing too badly.

gearslutz forums are so much better than tv.

Absolutely right, but that doesn't stop me wanting more! Thanks for running a great forum.

[Remoteness]

Thanks,

Tell your friends and associates.

Bring them by... Let's chat about something cool and stuff.

I've been lurking for a couple of weeks and wanted to introduce myself.

I'm located in Knoxville, TN. I started live recording with a pair of blackface ADAT's while I was FOH for a band in 1999. We did a live album and it came out on a national label. With the next band I toured with we did the same thing except we used a Midas Venice and an Alesis HD24. 2 of those tracks are going to be on a "rarities" disc early next year. I've done mainly studio stuff and live sound but I really enjoy doing live recording. Currently, I do post production audio for several cable networks.

I'm toying with the idea of setting up a rig and getting some camera people together and start doing DVD's.

Anyway....hello all. Great forum!

[Biber]

okok

location : in the western of germany

normally i work as engineer in th dvd-business but i like the remote work very much normally recording small to middle brass ensembles and sometimes the band i´m mixing

I'm toying with the idea of setting up a rig and getting some camera people together and start doing DVD's

Hey Brian,
Why don't you start a newbee idea sharing thread?
That could workout well.
What do you think?

[wyndrock]

Hey Paulie, How's it hanging!

It great to see you here.

Yep, I hear you loud and clear -- thanks a lot bud!

Hey, do you have any pictures of that "all in one" portable remote recording case you designed and used. I'm sure the folks on this forum would love to see a picture of it.

Don't be shy, show off some of your audio toys too my man.

All the best -- keep up the good work!
