  recording sound for the Red One

  Posted by Elliott Klein on July 18, 2011 at 6:25 am

  im doing sound on a short film shooting on a red one camera next month

  which will give me the best results? do i go from the mixer via a breakaway cable to the red or record it separately on my H4n and get them to sync it later in post.

  and also if im recording to the H4n, would i go straight in to the H4n from the boom mic or go though a Shure FP33 mixer 1st then in to the zoom

  Thanks

  Why not do both?…. record straight to the RED camera with a breakaway cable and also do a backup recording on the H4n.
  If they use the RED audio it will save syncing time.
  Feed the H4n from the tape out socket of the FP33 mixer.
  I have used my H4n directly on a boom pole with a case made by “STRUT cases” this set up is great for a compact recording unit.

  We do both. On board is a fine enough backup but the controls leave a lot to be desired. You’ll likely stick with your H4N audio instead.
