Hello all!

I'm a mixer in Calgary, AB and I'm looking for a little advice about a setup that I'm planning to use for an upcoming short film. I've convinced the producer to use dual system sound, but I want them to have something to listen to in the rough edit so I was going to also sent a 2 ch mix to the HVX. Anyway, here's how I think it'll go:

- Inputs: 1=boom/2, 3, 4=lavs
- Direct Outputs 1-4 going to the 744t
- 10 pin output back to the HVX w/ headphone return

Will that sound good and be usable in post? I haven't done 4 channel before, so this is new to me. Any help you guys can give would be appreciated.

P.S. One totally off topic question: is there a reason not to enable output limiters on the 442?

Setup is good.. keep the limiters on.

You may want to send timecode to one audio channel on the hvx to make it easier for post to sync.
