Thank you Ty I will have a look at what you have suggested. I Appreciate it!

Sorry Ty, think maybe some confusion, i might not have posted correctly as I’m new to this. The reply you gave me was in response to what i wrote to Richard. I was more specifically referring to my reply to you in which i asked if there was a mic that was more suited to what I’m doing rather than the senheiser 416, looking at the picture i uploaded of the jersey shore show it looks like a different mic… So got me thinking maybe there is something better than a shotgun to pic us up, that can still be mounted in a boom stand. If you could just clarify that il get out of your hair.. LOL. Thanks so much. It is much appreciated 🙂

That’s a good point, I hadn’t thought of that! Did you see me reply to your initial response? Thanks

that tascam DR70 looks like a good shout! Thanks

Hi Richard,
Thats strange that no one can find my channel… maybe cos its new.

Here is a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=8DVZ0EzkVNY (just listen to the parts where its me and my 2 girls at the desk as thats the main format)

As I mentioned just now to Ty, I’m using auto gain on the camera and its doing a pretty good job of balancing the audio.

I have thought about acoustic treatment but this is also my home office and slightly reluctant to cover walls in acoustic tiles.

With the desk microphones, do you have to be very close to them or can they be half meter or so away?

I love the sound that these guys get on their show and don’t see any lavs so I’m guessing must be a boom, but when ever i use boom for a shoot never sounds this good! LOL

Ive also seen a wide shot of their set and didn’t see any acoustic tiles, unless on the ceiling?

Thanks for your help!!

Hey Ty, Thanks for the advice..
Having someone mix the show at this stage is out of the question.
I have looked into a mixer/recorder and the is definitely an option. If I did go for the mixer/recorder would you recommend lav mics or adding an extra 1 or 2 shot gun mics? At the moment I’m using auto gain on the camera and to be fair its doing a pretty good job, If I didn’t get a mixer, is there a microphone that is more suited to what I’m doing than a Sen 416? Looking at the picture from the jersey shore set the mic looks different. Or would adding an extra shotgun mic improve the situation, if I did add an extra mic would a mix of the 2 mics sound good or would i need to cut between mics in the edit depending on who’s taking?

A link to my channel if its helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=8DVZ0EzkVNY (just listen to the bits where its me and my 2 girls sitting at table as thats the main format)

Thank you so much for your help!
