For Short Films: Invest in 3-channel recorder (Boom + 2 lavs), or save up and get something with more options? Alternatively, at what point is it better to buy instead of rent gear?
This was so informative. I really appreciate all of the great videos. What tips or microphone suggestions do you have for underwater recording?
Never a miss! Q: Can having a bad or very old xlr cable introduce noise or artifacts when recording audio?
Absolutely! When I bought a chinese shotgun mic, the XLR cable in the box was simply terrible! Then I bought a more portentous cable and all the noise was gone! It wasn't expensive at all, but it was so much better!
This video was so well done. No other comment. Just really liked it.
Thanks
To cut or not to cut. Some mics have a low cut filter on them. In general is it good practice to enable it on the mic, on the recorder, or wait for post processing?
Is there a way to check wireless frequencies and interference at a location other than just trying the mics and hoping for the best?
My question is about which type of boom mic you should use indoors. Heard long shotgun mics don’t do as well.
thanks for tips!
I have a question, booming really close to mouth is the best way to record and less post adjusting?
I used a lot of micro brands | Sennheiser but For the moment I want to turn to you. Deity Theos Digital UHF Tutorial | How To Scan & Pair
Naisssss. For high quality audio which comes first to spend on? high quality recorder or a high quality boom mic/lavalier mic?
lol, your sponsor.
Waiting on my Theos order with bait breath!
For a start-up video production company, what do you recommend is a must-have for an audio a lav mic kit or and pair of shotguns one for outdoors and one for indoor mic?
Is it be better to use cardioid or hyper cardioid boom microphones in reverberant rooms?
When doing a podcast, is it better to have the mics farther apart, but pointing at each other (like coming from the outside of 2 people sitting side by side) or closer together but facing away from each other (like the mics coming from in-between the two people)?
When would you carpet a scene or how could you silence other types of props?
Thanks for this; 'wide and tight' two camera shoots are always so painful no matter how much pre-production effort is put into it. Question for next time: In shooting the traditional series of shots for a scene (the wide, then medium, then close-ups); do you tend to keep the boom mic the same distance from the actor as say the medium, or do you come in close for the close up and risk getting the proximity effect? Thanks as always!
Hey, qestion for loud sounds. Was filming some explosions and got some cool sounds. But I have a filling like i must get something more out of it. So the question is what mics to use and where to set them up?
What are some cheap options for frequency coordination on set?
will diety make a headset lav? is there a way to rig a deity v lav pro onto a headset frame?
It was impossible to pick up any wild-tracks in my last shooting and now I have the posibility to return to the location. Wich type of mic would you recommend for wild-track / foley?
Hey Deity, could you explain EQ?
What is an EQ? When do I use it / What is it used for?
Thank you so much! Q: How can I ensure that I get the best wireless performance with the least amount of radio interference?
what is the closest distance you can have between to people with lavs? Especially if one is a loud talker and the other isnt.
Thanks for the tips. Can I mix deity time coded mics with other time code products?
yes you can
How do you record the cooking sounds for a recipe video without damaging the mic or recorder? e.g. protecting from heat, steam or smoke.
What do you do with cables that have gone bad?
How do you preserve the same ambient of the dialogue recordings in every single take ? I mean, when you have 5 different shots, how to keep the noise floor and the ambient behind the dialogue persistent ? Any tips on how to make it stable ? I' ve been doing post production of some film that I had also done recordings on set, and matching the noisefloor/ambients/roomtones was hella of a pain in the ass haha
Do you record audio of every actor in the scene, even if they're off camera (in single coverage, for example)?
Love these episodes! Q: If I'm setting up a studio shot with two people, is it better to boom both of them or LAV them? And could there be phase issues if using two shotgun mics?
Q: What are the realistical limitations of sound postproduction? As in, is a tram passing by at the worst moment really killing that sound file, or is there something that can be done to save it?
Q; iv scrolled back in your guys videos quite a bit but couldn't find a video about what I'm looking for, im wondering you guys guys could tell me all the equipment a sound mixer needs, maybe give a budget option and a recommended option
Q: Its possible to get timecode and external mic with a camera that only have one external mic port and no dedicated timecode input?
Hi!
My question is about, What would be your method to do a live streaming with 3 people talking and recording with DSLR cameras?
If you have someone recording the sound and a separate boom operator, how do you give a boom operator an audio feed to hear what they are booming?
Is it possible to make lav sound like boom?
How many ways of carpeting a scene are there?
Ok, question. What is the best way to record a very soft spoken person without picking up a lot of background noise?
great question
Hello does D2RX compatible with other brands transmitters??
It is not
Hey guys. :) In a scene/interview where the talent is talking over each other, is there a good way to mic it so that each lav/boom records as little of the other person as possible? What are my options for removing the other persons speech if my mic has captured both?
your best option is to cut it on post, sound is physics and it´s imposible to avoid bleeding if you have two people close to each other.
Automix will minimise the bleed
I was just wondering if you could tell me once again, who sponsored this video?
Have you covered the rules for booming? How about a budget project? I have had to use multi directional lav outdoor. Used rat skin filter then boomed it... I know it sucks
Q: How can you prevent sibilant noise in recording so you don't need to fight it later with a de-esser plugin?
I would just shift a microphone a little bit to the side. For example, when the talent is speaking directly to the membrane, they might have very strong sibilants. Shifting a microphone to the right/left for about 15-30 degrees would probably do better ! At first it might look weird, that they are not speaking directly into the membrane, but believe me, It works ! Also, u can try recrordikg them for a longer distance. Some people in studio tend to speak very close to the microphone (touch the microphone, or approx 5cm). I always ask them to take a step back, and record them approx 20cm from the mic\

What do you consider when booming a 2 shot with one very tall actor and the other very short?
How to mic up lavalier microphone for an actor that’s gonna having a fight scene later but also he/she has some dialogue needs to capture during the fight?😂
Sarah is. Wow.
First!
Sorry I was very excited
@@hamzakiyani9244lol
This is like... 4 days too late, lol. Im first AD on a Micro-Budget Feature, we couldn't find a replacement audio in time or in budget so me and the line producer had to trade off running boom and audio. Had to figure out how to boom multicam setup. It was wild...
