[jerryfreak]

[justink]

So, what's the best way to power a 10 II?

I meant to send you a link earlier. I also use the larger 11,000 mah as well. No USBc with the 10 is kind of a pain, but these work fine in the 6 and the couple times I used the 10. Ill send the Hirose Ted made me for these with it if youd like.

The 64gb version of this 128gb card is on the sound devices approved list. Anyone using the 128 fb version?

How many gb do you need to run 32/48 with 8 channels for three hours anyway?  That’s about the most I would need to record for.

I've had to wrestle with this kind of question in the past and have come up with my own rules of thumb based on previous recording lengths (because I'm too lazy to explicitly calculate the file sizes).  But, in researching your question, I found a terrific website that does the calculations for you:

http://www.theaudioarchive.com/TAA_Resources_File_Size.htm

So, for 32/48 with 8 channels for 3 hours, the result is 16.2 GB.

If you want the rule of thumb for 24/48, you'll be collecting 1 GB per hour for 2 channel (stereo).  For 32/48 it's 1.33 GB/hr for 2 channels.  (a slight underestimate based on the calculator result...)

id buy it and test it yourself. i had horrible luck with almost all cards over 32GB with the mixpre
you can always return or repurpose it

this is almost exactly the same

you can estimate filesizes here.

https://www.sounddevices.com/audio-recording-calculator/

just remember that actual card capacity is just over 90% of branded capacity
 (EG 128GB = 119ish)

Awesome. Thanks. That means the 64gb (on the approved list) here is plenty of space.

Anybody see a point in running a V3 in front of 32bit? 

I don’t think I’d ever sell my V3 but I don’t really see a benefit in 32 bit. Probably keep the V3 in a second bag for a backup rig or multiple stage scenario.

[jerryfreak]

bitrate wouldnt be a factor really. if you like the sound of the grace pre over the SD pre doesnt really matter if youre recording 32, 24, or even 16 bit on the backend.

How about analog out, where you want to compare V3 output via analog vs digital!?
You may find you prefer V3 > analog > 32float for some style of music or particular mic configs.

good point.

good point.

Thanks ;-)
It's also a good way to compare the V3 preamp itself versus the built-in pre in the recorder. You might prefer the V3!!

What I’m used to with the R-44:

Import files and they are paired L/R stereo for each set of mics.

I haven’t gotten to play with my new MixPre10 yet, but is this the only way to do it?

I guess split the poly file in wave agent, and then link the L/R mics/files as a stereo file in audacity?

Just know that Wave Agent can't handle the 32bit files. I wish SD would fix this.

Geez. So, I’m that case, can audacity handle the poly wave files?  That might be easier.

Import poly > highlight left and right ISO > stereo pair. ?
