…. if you don’t ask, you’ll never learn new things. I still ask question all the time. Good luck.

I don’t think you would have any trouble hearing the difference between a good pro mic and a cheap approximation. You gotta pay to play. The 2 mics I mentioned are very sensitive, efficient mics …. they are a couple of my favs…..good luck.

Try a multi channel gate. Set it up with a gentle gate that will not allow low db levels through. When someone speaks the gate will open and let the signal through.

The two mics I never leave home without are the Sennheiser MKH70 (long shotgun super cardiod) and the Schoepps Collette with the C41 super cardiod capsule. Both sound wonderful … but they’re not cheap. The 70 is great for outdoor recording. It has excellent off-access rejection and works nicely even when it is 5 feet from the subject. The Schoepps is great for indoors. It is very small, so if you’re up against a low ceiling it is the one to use. Hope that helps.

I pretty much thought that might be the case….can’t wait for HD disks to come…

Thanks…

In this case, the source footage was shot on a Sony HDR-FX1 at standard definition NTSC. And it looks really good. I am monitiring on several monitors ranging from a large HD LCD to a small Trinitron. None of my monitors are pro but I know what they look like relative to a broadcast monitor…more or less…on these monitors the source footage looks great, but when I go to DVD and view on the same monitors the DVD quality is poor in comparison…milky blacks etc.

What are the best settings in Compressor to get good results? And is there anything else I can do in DVD Studio 4 itself….?

Thanks

Well in Compressor I use the” best 90 min” setting and create an MPEG-2…then I import into DVD Studio 4 and burn. So I’m not sure where I am loosing the quality..but it sure does not look like a DVD you would rent at Blockbuster…and I’m not expecting it would but I loose a good deal of color saturation and the picture looks a liitle soft compared to the source…it is frustrating…can you offer any advice..

Thanks…

Thanks I tried that as well…did not work so I then reinstalled FCP…still no luck…this is starting to mess with my head….the fw1884 works flawlessly with logic pro and sound track pro and reason so I know the thing is functioning…..

I did consider this, and as it happens I did pull apart my studio to reconfigure the placement of my gear. But I did take care to put things back together properly. In fact I reset things the way they were before the change and I still had the same problem. It’s driving me nuts…I think I’m going to reinstall FCP…any last thoughts before I do?…many thanks
