TDAT is locally operated in Cincinnati, Ohio - a beautiful location, in itself - centrally located within easy striking distance of Columbus, Indianapolis and Louisville, and within five hours of Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Nashville and Charleston. (The picture, to the right, is from the windy plains near Woodward, Oklahoma.) I have been in business since 1991, featuring the FIRST Portable Timecode DAT Recorder in Ohio, (if not the entire Midwest). Quite the pioneer, I know.

Of course, these days, everything is non-linear. The DAT machines have long since been retired. Sort of takes the DAT out of TDAT, but I can't go around calling my company, "T," can I?

What's in the box: In order to capture and retain all the sounds and voices, over the years, I have acquired quite a collection of devices and doodads. This collection includes, but is not limited to: A Sound Devices 744T Non-linear Audio Recorder with simultaneous record to DVD-RAM and Compact Flash (triple redundancy is better than no redundancy); Fostex PD-4 Timecode DAT Recorder (still keeping one around, just in case); Ambient and Denecke Smart Slates; SQN-4S and PSC M4 Four Channel Mixers; A handy little collection of Schoeps Microphones including an M-S Stereo Rig; A similarly impressive collection of microphones by Sennheiser - MKH Series 50, 60, and 70 (a microphone for every occasion); Rycote Shockmounts and Windscreens; Lectrosonics Wireless Microphone Transmitters and Receivers; Comtek Wireless Headsets; Transcription mp3 Recorders; And of course, piles and piles of cables and miscellaneous support equipment. Also, I should mention my portable ProTools LE System for location V.O. recording and editing.

Another item is the Zaxcom ENG digital wireless stereo link. As the description implies, this is a two-channel wireless unit, linking my mixer to the camera, employing the amazing clarity and dynamic range notorious in Zaxcom digital equipment. Very useful for handheld (especially in a crowd) and Steadicam operation.
