Hey there, am enjoying this video. You can now monitor the audio if you download the app. It has a small delay and you need to be within Bluetooth range. Have to say the Track E is a great little recorder. Keep up the good work!

Yay! Delivery as promised. Thank you for covering this Chadwick! Many of us are heavily invested in Tentacle and anything that teaches me about DR and Tentacle is genuinely appreciated. Now - 1 request and 1 question. I think I know the answer to the question already, but here goes - why don't you talk about Tentacle Studio? (My guess is you are trying to do everything from DR and maybe you don't use it in your workflow?). Now my request - can you please do another video with the same timecode tips and Black Magic TC tips - but.... do it from the Multicam perspective! I love your multicam tips and tricks!

I love my TrackE recorders. Use them all the time, and I appreciate the iPhone overview. I’ve not had a reason to test this out. Just the same there’s one caveat to 32-bit recording. If the mic capsule can’t handle the sound pressure in an environment there’s no recovering the distortion in post. For most forms of dialog recording the talent has to literally scream for problems to occur, but on a subway platform it might not work out. Gain staging still matters as does using quality lavs which can handle the peak sound loads.

Thanks for the clearly explained video. Its dissapointing that there is still a correction needed despite doing all the timecode stuff correctly and buying all the gear. Perhaps Resolve should ask what camera the video footage came from and auto correct the 2 frame offset based on the camera make and model and its known offset delay? For example I know with the Tentacle TIMEBAR app there is an offset setting for GoPros(already set in the app) and I had no complaints for a Track E and GoPro series I worked on recently. Most cameras must have a known delay that could be programmed into the workflow as soon as possible, that delay could be defined even in prep workflow tests and then on the ingest phase in post before audio sync up. On a different note - I wonder about the AAF hand off from picture department to post sound - can teh quality of the AAF and if it works or not depend on the chosen method of sync and link between audio recorder and camera files? Does how you sync and marry audio to video before the picture edit matter about metadata thoughput at the AAF hand off stage at the end when the picture edit is locked off? Is there an ideal method of audio and video sync between camera rushes and sound rushes so that all the metadata from the sound files gets through the AAF export and that it shows up in ProTools? Like that option of creating a subclip or other options in whatever video editing software is being used?

Even your last 'problem' is easily solved. Connect the Tentacle via a 3.5 inch cable to a Rode Wireless Pro II. The Rode receiver on your camera will allow live monitoring via the camera.

If you’re adding a Rode Wireless Pro into the mix, doesn’t this defeat the need for the Tentacle Sync? 1) it supposedly does time-code gen sync (if it is the time source) and 2) it has 32-bit audio recording built into the transmitter. Can see a use case for one or the other perhaps?

I think one of the issues that you are having with audio still being out of sync is not an issue with the Tentacle Track e but its a limitation of the iPhone reciording Varible Frame Rate. Meaning 30FPS is actually anywhere between 28.5 to 31 FPS. This is not a Davincicamera app issue either its all on Apple. Its super frustrating as its almost the perfect workflow......

Here is a quick tip :-) when inserting clips to timeline based on timecode, you can do the same thing with the tentacle audio tracks. Just select them and append to timeline. You don't need to manually select the video and audio tracks, and link them on the timeline. This method of linking multiple tracks is VERY usefull, especially when you have loads of different cameras and clips. You just need to route them to their destination tracks before appending

The Track E has a 5v power output , the plugin power of the rode lav is 2.7v doesnt the mean it would be fried from the extra power? And I thought the sanken didnt have a Tentacle transmitter option ? Or do all 3.5 trs work with all 3.5 trs transmitters/recivecerz

The Track E looks nice, but is something that I will sadly never invest in. Here in Canada they go for over $500 *each* which is quite frankly highway robbery. For me someone that makes a few videos a month and syncs the audio by wave form, I have a couple of way cheaper methods that I use and give me great results and I sync manually and it just works. This is for someone with disposable income or a professional, not your average YourTube creator. :)

Yes there certainly is a cost. I don’t fully understand why they are as much as they are but what I’ve been told by a Panasonic rep for why they can’t put them in cameras is that those temperature compensating crystal oscillators are the expensive part. And they would have a hard time competing on price. Maybe we will get lucky in the future if those prices come down.

Very nice video. I currently have the DJI Mic 1, how would you compare this solution to the Rode Wireless Pro or DJI Mic 2? Both have internal audio with 32 bit float, Rode Wireless has timecode. I can't really wrap my head around whether its better to record the audio to the track wirelessly or sync later, or use the internal recording as a backup. I'm also not 100% certain how timecode works, and the difference between the Track E and the Sync E. Great explainer of this workflow, does it also work with multicam clips, do you sync the audio first and then create the multi cam clip? Sorry, I know I have a ton of questions.

Quick question, were looking to add a iphone 15 into a multicam op with TC, and using Deity TC1s, would you plug a usb C > TRS into the phone / deity and then sync and leave it there like we would with our LTC other timecode units? Or can you send it through bluetooth as you did there, just wary of any drift associated with wirelessly sending TC.
