Thanks for your reponse David. I’ve also found that normalizing is not necessary if the levels are correct. From what I’ve noticed with my finished recordings is they sound best when I use a limiter to prevent peaks during the live recording. All EQ, compression/limiting/soapsound is finished up on the computer. This seems to work the best.

Thank you for your response. I appreciate it. I have found that by recording without compression during the actual recording this means I am free to add it later when I master it. I don’t like being unable to adjust the compression after the fact because of the way it was recorded. I have found that normalizing is no longer necessary if I use a compressor/limiter. I have read about using compression at 3:1 That seems to work the best but I always trust my ears first.
I will take your advice and just tell the client we are recording a take. Then stop them as needed. That’s was my guess on what I needed to do I just wanted to double check. Thanks for you help.-Nicholas Bierzonski

Are you in college? If so, does your school have a recording studio you could sign out and make original Foley sounds there? Is that a requirement for a class you are taking? What sort of sounds are you trying to recreate? If it’s more trouble to start from scratch and record/mix your own original Foley tracks you might be better off purchasing a Foley library with the sounds you need. If you must make your own recordings you can use a Mini Disc Recorder however it will be very crude to use. Perhaps this is the way to go if you are on a shoestring budget, and don’t want to use canned soundeffects. I hope this helps.

A phone patch is the ticket. Check out ebay. You may be able to find a steal there.

It’s that too often we find ourselves digging through the same posts, or using guesswork to try and answer a poorly written post. It’s that old cliche of time = money. Great Article.

Change your setting from Safe RT To Unlimited RT….Beware though…it may result in more dropped frames due to the fact that your computer will be attempting to play back more real effects in real time than your computer can handle.

There is a great acticle by Jerry Hoffman on Final Cut Pro’s Storage methods in the first issue of Creative Cow’s Magazine. “Achieving a Rock Solid Final Cut System” is the name of the article. If you havn’t already I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you sign up for this magazine. It will will be well worth your time. I believe they have a PDF version of the first issue out as well. There will be more articles I’m sure along these lines in future issues.
