It would be handy, wouldn’t it?

[Enginn Heima]

Thanks.

Yes, I know. But it’s faster.

[Enginn Heima]

Figured it out!

I had to set the in and out markers…. beats me.

[Enginn Heima]

Thanks Stephen.

I’ll keep that in mind, though I’ll probably continue foleying in my “cheap” manner, only because I like it 🙂 For sure you convinced me not to invest in the ME62 nor the ME64… but simply to continue with the ME66.

Any thoughts on the voice-over mic, among the mics I mentioned?

Best regards, and thanks again for your time and effort.

[Enginn Heima]

Thank you Stephen for your interesting input. Though the mics you mention in your thread are exceeding my budget 🙂 Yes, it will come to this day, when I’ll exchange my ME66 for the MKH416 but till that day, I’m trying to get by on a smaller budget. I know it’s not the ideal thing to do, but that’s how it has to be for the time being.

Having said so, and considering what you advised me, I guess from the mics in my price range the ME66 is still my best choice at the moment for foleying. But I would still like to know if I’d be any better off with a ME64 or ME62.

As for Voice-over jobs, I still wonder…
MXL 990 $50
Studio Projects B1 $80
MXL V67g $100
Audio Technica AT2020 $100
Shure SM57 $100

Best regards.

Hmm. Not much response, I’ll try to make myself more clear…

I have a Sennheiser K6 power unit with a ME66 capsule that I use for location recordings.

I would like to get myself a new mic for foleying and voice-recordings in my home studio, and I was thinking of either the ME62 or the ME64 since they both go with the K6.

Been reading a lot of threads on the matter on this forum and I’ve seen other mics being suggested that might do the job even better and for smaller price tags as the ME62 and ME64. They are:

MXL 990 $50
Studio Projects B1 $80
MXL V67g $100
Audio Technica AT2020 $100
Shure SM57 $100

Can anyone give their opinion on this one? Note. The mic needs to be kind of “flexible” since I’d like to be able to use it for both voices and foleying. Was thinking maybe that the MXL 990 might be good for the VO and AT2020 for the foleying. Or again, should I stick to the idea of the ME62 or ME64?

Best regards.

Thanks a lot David for your feedback on this one. To see the problems you need to go through to fade in a text button, it makes you wonder though…

Best regards.

[Enginn Heima]

And you faded in the text button??? In Premiere or AfterFX I assume? And imported it in Encore as Video background for menu?

[Enginn Heima]

Yes but there will be a “jump” when it goes from the first play video to the actual menu.

Regards.

[Enginn Heima]

Maybe so. But to get your animation back into Encore from either After Effects or Premiere you have to export as AVI and that way you loose the layer recognition. So finally, you can’t animate the buttons. Am I right or am I wrong?

Regards.
