    What 788t bag is that? Looks perfect!

      It's a Portabrace Bag, can't remember the model but I know they still have it.

    Is it necessary to buy the knobs for the 788t?

      The CL-8 is not necessary, but it might be very helpful depending on the work you do.
      I do a lot of mixing and changing routing on mix tracks so to me it makes sense to have it. If you don't do any mixing then you're fine without it.

    This is the first video I've seen from your channel. You mention a bunch of model numbers, but don't say what the piece are or what they do. Probably more useful to your regular viewers than those who are new to location recording.

      Hey mate, thank you for your advice - I will take it on board for future videos. If you have any questions regarding the functions or helpful qualities of this gear let me know.
      Cheers

    How long have you had your 788T for? (do you have another recorder as a back up or as a more lightweight option, like a MixPre6/F4?)
    Why do you only use rechargeables for testing purposes?

    • @alexchristensen2651

      I have a 744T as a backup which replaced a zoom f8. Super easy to just switch out the 788t with the 744t and I'm ready to go.
      I only use rechargeables for testing txs (ifb receivers and slates I use rechargeables for), purely because I have had problems in the past using zaxcom txs with rechargeables - where signal would cut out in the middle of a shot (after 30 minutes for example). I feel non-rechargable lithium to be super reliable

      Oh! Little bit surprised you swapped an F8 for a 744T, I couldn't ever see myself trading in my F8 for a 744
      So the only non-rechargables you ever use are the lithiums? PRICEY!
      I know some mixers who make notes/marks of when they buy their rechargeables, then after say 3 years they get demoted to less important tasks like IFBs (as rechargeable battery capacity do decrease over their lifespan) then after another 3 years they get chucked out completely.

      @@SoundSpeeding I learnt sound recording on the f8 and it worked well for years. It got demoted to 2nd when I got the 788t (maybe 2 or 3 years ago).
      But I got rid of the zoom f8 for the 744t cause I love the preamps and you can link it together with a 788t for 12 I so channels. As well as having AES in and out, so it just fit better in my workflow.
      In terms of the batteries I used that system with lectrosonics and sennheiser, but for some reason zaxcom just doesn't like them and even with new batteries or pretty batteries i get that problem. So i think better to be safe and pay a bit more than be sorry.

      @@alexchristensen2651 sometimes I regret going Lectrosonics instead of Zaxcom, like when the amazingly tempting Nova just got announced! But then when I hear about quirks like Zaxcom transmitters not playing nicely with rechageables.... ??? I'm happy again! :-)

      @@SoundSpeeding I totally feel you, like Zaxcom have quirks, they don't always play nicely, but when you figure them out you won't ever regret going down that path. Zaxnet, tx recording and AES make my life a breeze.
