Great tips Ty.
I do most of my work in the studio so don’t end up doing too much laving, not my favorite sound. But I work with enough tracks that have been recorded that way to know the type of fabric someone is wearing can be a real problem too.
It seems some of the thinner synthetics, which women tend to wear more than men, are prone to very distracting rustling sounds with normal body movement. Most professional talent I have worked with realize this and tend to wear quieter weaves. I have even recorded a few people with normal studio micing who’s blouse was so noisy I had to stop and ask to put on a soft cotton t-shirt I keep handy in the studio.
Probably not possible on a camera shoot. 🙂

Agree with all that’s why we use the higher end music libraries here for our clients productions.
There is a company called BZ Rights who put out a listing of songs, not recordings, that were in the public domain. It was nice to have that list for clients to go through to come up with creative ideas for spots.
However about 5+ years ago they basically had to retract that listing because the laws were changed and a lot of the songs in the list reverted back to copyright protection for another 30 years or so.
BZ Rights will research the cost of using a song, and you can the Harry Fox agency do it to. Big bucks though. I had a client who got the rights to a 70’s song to re-perform for commercials for a short run and the cost was in the multiple 10’s of thousands of $s.
