We'll be shooting indoors only, and I want to use my Yamaha 01x as a main
mixer. I can use limiter and EQ if necessary.
From this mixer I can send up to 16 channels through firewire to laptop,
which is used as a recording deck....
Mic will be Sennheiser ME 66 shotgun, 2 wireless Audio Technica, and stereo
pair of Neumann's for ambience recording...
And, can I send singnall form boom directly do Yamaha, or should I use for
example, Sound Devices mic preamp.

Hello,

what do you think, can this setup work properly ?

This is no budget feature, so I cannot afford any Deva, Nagra or PD-6. I
must use equipment I have :)

which is used as a recording deck. So I'll have multiple track recorded for
any scene. After each day I can burn a DVD-ROM with all the material.
From digital output I want to feed my DAT, with mixed signal, just for
backup.
It'll be filmed with DV Cam, so from my main output i want send mixed stereo
signnal to camera.
And from Aux I'll send signal to my boom, and others if needed.
Mic will be Sennheiser ME 66 shotgun, 2 wireless Audio Technica, and stereo
pair of Neumann's for ambience recording.
Yamaha 01x works also as a controll surface to an audio software (in my
case - Subase SX).

What do you think - can this work ?

I hope you can understand my point :)

greetings to you all

Since you're not feeding video ref or work clock to the system, your
computer and camera may drift apart. In theory, with modern crystals, the
drift would be about 1 frame in 20 minutes. But I've had people report
problems in as quickly as 6 minutes. So I recommend using both front and
tail slates.

I think there will be no longer take than 6 minutes, but of course you are

Very brave!

I suggest you set it up and test it all before you start the shoot.

My biggest advice is use another mic...i don´t like the ME66 not even
a bit.I consider it to have an high end that sounds kind of metalic.
Try getting a MKH 416 or MKH60 or MKH50.

let us know how it turned out,

right - the tail slate might be very usefull.

if it a broadcast camera , you can take the tc out and bring it as another
channel to your mixer then record it as one of your tracks on the computer
( you have more tracks then mikes ), that's can help keep you in sync
later in editing , keep it 20 db lower then the others

Not this time - I must use the ME66, and I hope it will sound not so bad.

Why go to all this trouble and effort for good sound and "settle" for a
cheap prosumer microphone which is the MOST IMPORTANT piece of equipment
in
the entire audio chain. If you can't beg, borrow or steal a professional
microphone you should ask the production to get on the phone and beg,
borrow
or steal one for you. At the very least, borrow or rent one for an hour
and
listen to the difference so you can hear for yourself the additional
quality
a professional mic will bring to your production.

I'm sorry for my delayed reply - I was on hollyday - no phone, computer,
tv - just resting and reading
You are right, mic is the most important piece of gear. I can borrow at
once
MKH 416. I just didn't think that difference between this and my ME 66 can
be so big. And I can always have ME66 as backup :)

thx.
Radek.
