What is your go-to product to grab house signal for video source when you don't get a tech check for an event? I'm just responsible for video.

51:42go to officehours.global slash volunteer. There's a myriad of ways that you can help with the back end. You can come hang out, watch how it's all put together, see the sausage being made. But if you want to help and you don't really have that kind of time, just remember officehours.global is a 501c3 and if you go to officehours.global slash donate at least in the States here that may end up helping you out

52:08with your with your taxes let's go the next question Alexander Jack Cannon Phoenix is asking what is your go-to product to grab house signal for video source when you don't get a tech check for an event I'm just responsible for video uh mickey yeah i'm uh wondering uh jack are you um or do you just need like a guide track that you can cut to and then someone will provide a mix afterwards for you

52:36um or are you solely responsible for the recording in general for the video product um if uh for For myself, if I do a lot of just like broadcast recording stuff, I typically have a desk that I do a relatively good or decent broadcast mix on even for recording like live to tape recording. But apart from that, if I'm just multi-tracking, my first go-to if available is the sound devices

53:09as PIX970s. Absolutely solid recorder, 64 channels of Dante. It also has a whole load of AES-3, analog I.O., MADI as well. They've been discontinued for a long time, so the few houses that do have them for rent, they're often out. So if they're not available, then I'd go with with the Joko Black Box. Again, hardware recorder, they have all sorts of versions with Dante,

53:44MADI, Analog IO. They are also rock solid. They've been known for decades for recorders. Over the past two years, I've also been using a lot of this software a lot. It's called WildTracks. Full disclosure, I'm part of the alpha team for WildTracks. WildTracks and by the way they recently announced the beta version of WildTracks 2027 which I have been testing for the past couple weeks or month and a half or

54:13something like that really good software produced made by a fellow sound recordist so they know what's needed I absolutely trust Halter Technical and DocJustice and WildTracks. Really good product. If I just need a quick stereo patch, again, just as a guide track, and I'm not actually going to be mixing it, someone else will be providing a mix. A really quick solution is to throw one of these, Electrosonics SPDR stereo recorder. It can take

54:49line level in, also mic level in if you want. Two channels of audio can jam sync to your time code generator which i know jack uses time code in his workflows rock solid made by electrosonics hard to go wrong with it um and of course they're the traditional field the recorders you know sound devices stuff and and zaxcom and whatnot you can you can trust those those names um

55:19And if the camera is close enough or if a camera is close enough, I would take a split and also feed audio to the camera again, just as a reference and possibly a backup if worse comes to worse. But yeah, it really depends what you need to capture, just something as a guide or if you need to actually multi-track record these events.

55:46events. And let's see. Bill Davis. Yeah, I'm just concerned that we, that Mickey gave a superb answer on the audio side of things, but it just says, I'm just responsible for video. So I'm wondering if he's just looking to record the video signal for this. If so, there are a number of digital video recorders, and we talk about them a lot here, that'll capture that. You probably
