TY, please stop being this damn impressive all the time, you get me too hyped up! haha just kidding,
This is very helpful to me but it makes me wonder:
Does this mean that the difference between the music and the voices should be exaggerated or does it mean that I should get their sound guy to do a sound check? It sounds like the only way to be sure the audio is going to be clear is to have my music rest around -20 and my dialogue as close to -6 as possible and hope they have a compressor?

Also, when you’re going frame by frame, use the page up and page down keys on the keyboard.
Also you don’t need to put a keyframe on each frame, you can probably get away with a lot more than you think you can by doing your first keyframe, placing another maybe 8-12 frames later and then checking in between real quick to see if there’s anything that needs to be nudged just a little.
You can download the daber plugin, vrom video copilot. They have an older version too if you want a “shittier” look

Hey Charles, I’m very close to the NY area and have worked there quite a bit (Northern NJ)
If you want to talk I can tell you about rental houses and a few tricks for getting stuff done around here. There’s a lot to think about workflow wise when you’re shooting using equipment you’ve never used before.
Things like how is everything going to plug into eachother and whats compatible with what.
I don’t know what you are actually shooting so that’s the most important thing to know first.

Wow, you’re right. I never perceived it that way. Is it weird?
It’s like that because the base in her voice is panned slightly from the highs. I was kinda experimenting with it in hopes of getting a fuller sound.

I’ve never used a dynamic lav on this system. I don’t know how much responsibility that device would have to get one to work but I’ve had it supply fairly clean power to my shotgun plenty of times. That clip was the lav and the shotgun being powered by that little device.
And I don’t think I did much more than EQ and compression. I love that thing. It really opens doors.

Hey Gary! I’ve been shooting with GH5’s for a few years and Audio has always been really important to me. There are a bunch of different situations you’ll run into that change what setup is the best for you.
It sounds like you decided it’s best to just record straight into the camera, either for ease or cost for documentary and small crew work, it’s a good Idea.
The ZoomHN4 is noisey in my experience. Especially when you need to crank up the signal. Zoom makes a multitrack recorder which I use almost anytime I can. The F1.
But it’s expensive and doesn’t easily allow you to move quickly which is important for what you’re doing. So what I think you should get is a DMW-XLR1
This is basically an amp that will let you put two XLR cables into your camera. It feeds the audio straight through the hot shoe mount. And for what it is, it’s got a very low noise floor, I mean it certainly has been kicking my HN4’s ass.
I usually do a shotgun in one channel and a lav in another channel. You should take the time to mess with the loudness settings on the transmitter end vs the receiver end of your lav set up because I’ve found that when you set the transmitter to a very low volume, and then you bring it back in the pre-amp, you get a much tighter sound. Less background noise.
Shotguns are great and all but they have their problems so combining the two and using the best frequencies between the two with an EQ will really make for a night and day difference.
You can get audio like this using these ideas:

Sir, my jaw dropped. I just got my hands on Izotope which is quite Izodope (I’m here all night) But I always wondered what kinds of systems were used to do this on location. I can’t believe how well that worked. I feel like the rest could be cleaned up easy.
I got something new to look into!

The camera’s always seem to have their audio in sync. (A with A B with B but A not always syncing up with B)
After trying to sync smaller chunks at a time, I’ve realized that maybe fcpx gets confused and has a tendency to place things in the wrong places. I don’t know how the algorithm works but I guess if two songs have transients which look similar, a clip could be placed at the wrong place.
Still waiting to get wave agent on my system. But I will report back with what it tells me

I hadn’t deleted anything. I’m new to FCPX so I wouldn’t know what to trash after a crash like the one I had. I just thought it was interesting that when the hard drive was connected, it not only knew to take that path, but seemed happier using that media. Even though the files were (or at least, should be) all the same.
