Well,
I feel like a real dummy.
Was experimenting (trying to expand my limited knowledge) to move
an audition file to Premiere Pro.

Low and behold I saved the file and noticed it saved as a .wav.

Duh!

Sorry for posting without doing more research.

Thank you for taking the time to post.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

You cleared up a couple of things I was struggling with, for example you pointed out the need for a usb or firewire to act as a sound card. When I hear (read) usb/firewire I am thinking about usb cable, not a sound card.

I do realize longer mic cables are the answer, but in my mind the best all round solution is wireless, I think there is more flexibility (at least for me) and what I envision for the future.

Currently, I do not have a wireless, only looked on line and made a mistake of going to a big box retailer, and the little geek who waited on me knew less about this process than I currently do. So it was a waste of time even though I did see a couple of wireless mics (not lapels) so I did learn some things on my own.

There is a music store/retailer pretty close to me, just have not had the chance to make a visit.

Thank you again for taking the time to respond.

I am familiar with firewire and have several things I use firewire for as well as usb.

Maybe I should have posed my question more clearly. Since I have audition, I was looking for a way to record audio via a wireless mic.
Last week I did some experimentation, set up camera shot a short piece while having my laptop set up with audition and an inexpensive plug in mic. Though I can see how I might be able to make this work, the down fall is if my on camera talent is further away than the plug mic can reach.

So I think the question is what device would be the best value to capture/record audio with a wireless mic.

On a side note a year or so ago I took a couple of classes and one night the instructor brought his personal camera in, we shot some video and used a wireless mic which the audio was captured into this camera. The bad news is, I am not in position to purchase a camera as nice as his.

Thank you again for taking the time to respond.
Will research your suggestion on equipment.

Obviously I am a newbie, I realize this is an older thread. I have just downloaded audition cs6 and decided i needed to read all I can before I start experiementing with the program.

I read in the prior thread about shooting a commericial, my “dumb question” is do you use one microphone or is there a way to use multi microphones on multi tracks.

Sorry for the dumb question.
Thank you in advance for any help given.

I played around with Excel and was able to calculate. The overall look was well……awful.

What if I was able to write a simple program in virtual basic, is there a way to import?

Thank you again for taking the time.

“I don’t want to bag out anyone here but the key on the free footage were the ones I was referring to. The CU on the Asian girl in particular is atrocious. No way we could use it for a film output. Makes me worried about the other shots.”

I used the “free” footage of the Asian lady and it worked great.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Hopefully, I will get a chance to try it out tomorrow.
