hi guys

one of the main problems is that (on handset leve)l in the remote caller path there is sidetone of the local caller. we all know that you hear your self when you talk in a telephone handset. taps in the handset line will get phasing problems on the local caller audio. or when they not use the handset mic give a wrong balance between remote and local caller. it’s simply better to use a hybrid in the actual land line since remotecaller and localcaller should have equal level.(not talking about a fragile girl voice whispering against a big lumberjacker)
we own some THAT2’s from JK and it’s nice for utility but NOT for program audio for analog landlines
hire your self a good old STUDER or a helios hybrid. or find one on Ebay. these give the best you can get out of a telephone line. if you have some tech knowledge you can use a 4wire interface of a clearcom intercom but the will go boom when you don’t know what you are doing 😉 i saved a live broadcast once this way not funny at the time but a good thing to talk about on a hotel bar 😉

well

let the posthouse do the lineup part and let it normalize your audiotrack. they have the tools to do this if you don’t have good meters don’t burn your fingers !!
if they specify 100%bars give them 100%bars. i guess the PostProduction company can help you give them the channel 4 spec sheet and ask for a Broadcast master. yes they ask more money for that but doing things twice will cost you more.

Heck recording to a DigiBeta from the output of that same camera will look light years better than recording to DV or DVCAM. The camera itself is not the main culprit, it’s the recording format.

so absolutly true, painfull but true.
for the already shot part’s as mentioned earlier
get your HQ Quicktime to someone with good IO and the final deck.
for the part that has to be shot.
no budget
take good care of lighting your set and try to keep quality of what’s in front of the lens
in best quality to compensate for the lower recording quality.
good budget.
still
take good care of lighting your set and try to keep quality of what’s in front of the lens
and enjoy the quality in post

i had a funeral of a ampex VPR2 2 weeks ago.
after it tried to kill me in a last desperate move with shooting some tantal capacitor’s to my head.
i got angry first but who can blame an old senile VTR.
poor big fellow. i fed him with some old sticky memorex tape.

i geuss i’m the murderer

hi brandon

sorry to say but chosing DVcam as a production format al ready is living
on the lower edge of broadcast quality (IMO already less then broadcast quality)
already giving you so less data to work with in post.
but good made DVcam footage can still kill poorly shot footage on the highest format.
i don’t understand why you go back to miniDV how do you do this with timecode anyway???
miniDV is consumer level like VHS in the early day’s
just don’t.

get your HQ quicktime to someone who has a deck and good IO

hi lewis

it will help us to help you.
if you specify the Lineup level in FCP in dBFS and the country you live in.
deck’s are tweeked differently in some region’s of the globe. next to that
where are your PPM’s in the system before or behind the deck???
aren’t you using embedded audio ????

you say you use murraypro

as i watched there website your using BBC scale PPM’s ??
as far as i know (not sure did not use BBC PPM’s that much)
4 on BBCscale = 0dBu = -20dBFS

please give us more info
