My goodness man, you're such a life saver. I'll be using this in my thesis project, and my professor hasn't taught me how to use it. Now, I feel like I have the knowledge and power to handle it. From the bottom of my heart thank you for doing this, and you are doing great work.

This is the most intuitive video I’ve ever watched thank you.

[@PhilipQuinton]

Exactly what I needed. I've had my machine for months but been too busy with shift work/family/misc to spend any quality manual time with it. I have actually scheduled a day off between now and my next shoot in order to get to grips with some of my new sound kit (specifically the 664 and some Lectrosonics radios) but you have saved me some headscratching by laying it all out like this.

Excellent… Thank You…. Love the 664 video, Would like to see the 633 video done in the same style. Your comments about how different features are used really adds value to your productions.

[@luisnavas528]

Clear. Concise. Outstanding vid, mate.

Very good presentation, thank you!

[@codecxo]

Stellar! Thanks!

[@AncatDm]

Thank you so much! I really needed this! Coming from a zoom h6 to a 633 was very confusing, but this was exactly what I was looking for. The info from other channels and google all asume you know the basics about this device - but I didn't, im new to the soundfield :D

[@safaoujhain4454]

Thank you so much for this great video it's really helpful, I was just hoping to see another one with boom and radio microphones too, so I get to understand more about the routing process, keep it up the good work, bravo.

[@paulsarodh5460]

Superb

[@brandnewbadidea1]

ace, thank you

[@laxmanjaiswar7566]

Hi Matt. It's very good tutorial. Can you make the same that includig from setting mic to connecting it to 664 and can you explain when to use line and when to use mic. Can you tell me is it necessary to turn fader off​ & ON in group discussion artist project? Or we can leave all fader in ON position so that we can see the overlapping of dialogue of artist in VU metre.

[@LSTpro1]

Can u do a video on the aes routing matrix

[@3absalamz]

Thanks a lot for sharing and this is a very nice overview for sound production mixers working on such a recorder.

[@jrsound7528]

Great video, a lot of questions answered for me in regards to the recorder. I do have a question about the ideal level of dialog in this particular set up. Do you want the peaks of the dialogue to be hitting 0 on the metering (-20dbFS) or is it more ideal to have the RMS be hitting at 0 on the metering?

[@JacobTheDrummar]

Thanks for the tutorial! Quick question. When you record is there a setting you have to change to make each record each input on a separate file or does it do that automatically?
