dangit, im just reading this thread, i bought a sound devices mixer. But from reading this thread it seems like i dont really need one. I will be by myself mostly shooting sporting events and run and gun.
I was of the impression that if you wanted broadcast quality sound you needed a mixer. I will be using a lectro wirelesss lav and a mkh 416 (mounted on camera). Should i sell the sound devices mixer or use it? |

bought the sound devices mixpre compact mixer. i wil lbe using a z1u i doubt i will have a sound person with me. If i get lucky i might get be able get the mic of the camera. But i will be in germany and will need to get a boom. sidenote they have a "wal mart" down the street i could use a broom stick in the worst case scenario. Do you think the broom stick is better than just leaving it on the camera? |

You sound like you're having a bit of "buyer's remorse" about the MixPRe. Don't. It's a very good unit and feeding the mics to it and then to the Z1U as a line level signal islikely to give better results than feeding the mics directly into the camera. It will give you good metering and a bit better control of levels, a nice slate tone for aligning levels, headphone monitoring for a audio assitant if you press one into service, all a round a good tool to have in your kit.

With the Z1 IF shooting in HDV I'd suggest keeping your levels on the hot side of things, with mpeg-1 layer 2 encoding having to wind in a lot of gain in post is best avoided.
