a few questions about voice looping/adr
I’m using Premiere Pro/FCP 4.5 here…
Question 1:
If there is ambient noise in the background(a few cars drive by) with the original dialog, how can I recreate the ambient noise? Do I just record ambient audio at the location that I’m shooting(it’s a busy street)?
Question 2:
This is using a G5 inside a computer lab environment with many other students…(or using PC and PPro..have both )when I record the VO in the NLE there is quite a bit of ambient noise(fans, talking)…is there any way other than using a sound proof room or telling the others to be quiet and turning all other pc’s off to make it sound clean?
Question 3:
Is using Premiere Pro 1.5 to re-record audio in post as easy as FCP/Vegas? Because I’m trying with PPro and I find it to be kind of time consuming. I can’t find a way that to have the cueing beeps for the VO looping.
The mic is a cheap Sony handheld that I picked up for $15. It is connected through the Mic In of a DV cam and then the firewire port of the cam is connected into the PC/Mac via firewire.

#1. It is quite common to just pick up a bit of ambient sound on any shoot. Streets, empty rooms, churches. Anywhere. You never know when it could come in handy.
#2. Audition has a nice and easy feature to eliminate noise. But you would be better off building a special box around the mic that deadens the sound from the room. I bought some special foam and lined a box that can sit on the desk with a slit cut to put the microphone on the middle. That way there is less noise to eliminate later.
#3. I put the section to be rerecorded into a sequence and then put multiple copies of the sequence on a new sequence. That gives me the same options pretty much as a loop. Beeps? Just add them as necessary. If the user has headphones, then the beeps are only temporary. Just don’t try to beep without headphones or it gets into the new audio track.

We use a sound house that does looping in FCP. They are able to add a visual wipe and beeps easily. I just bought 2 Matrox AXIo systems and we are going to to try emulate the set up in PPRO. Will report back
