Id say not.
It sounds awful. Whistles on t’ s and s’s. Early reflections are awful. The room has no acoustic treatment at all.
Id say go to a studio and record properly or get a Professional voice over to record it for you in their studio. It will cost a couple of hundred pounds. (nothing compared to an unhappy client )
The voice record should be solid, with all correct inflections etc etc. Get a pro on it.

Id think that any “domestic battery powered” unit running phantom power is going to struggle beyond a short time

I dont think theres a limitation, but Avid will create new folders when neccessary. BUT Id suggest asking on the avid.com community as someone there will know exactly what the limits are for you rather than my guess.

Well in that case, without the external box that everyone seems to use when they use these “stills cameras with a video afterthought” then it would seem that
1) You were using a totally unsuitable camera
2) You were taking a massive risk and have come un stuck

NB (and i have shot many weddings) the levels in a wedding change massively. The recording setup you need to capure the vows is soo much quieter than that of 2oo people singing. By setting, leaving (and hoping) you are expecting waaaaay too much from the audio capabilities of a camera whose actual audio capabilities are woeful even when attended.

Sorry but its a mistake youll make just the once (hopefully)

Were you not wearing headphones ?-
Had you been listening to the camera audio you would have known within the 1st half second that you had a MAJOR problem and you would have fixed it long before anything happened of any importance.
Or did you “presume” that the audio would be OK? BOG MISTAKE. Audio needs far MORE attention than pictures do.

In the Uk it would be who you pay for your permission to use a radio mic. Theyre all licensed.

Hi
Im far from an expert when it comes to radio interference, but I can tell you that the best solution is to wear headphones.
If Im directing, and i see the sound man take his cans off, I stop and ask him why. Its crucial that people listen continuoulsly, just like the camera man watches throught.

In the UK only 1 bank is allowed by law. I cant speak for anywhere else but were you definitely working within the correct frequency set for your territory.
were all mobile phones turned off anywhere near?

How are your monitors calibrated. Setting levels for surround is vERY tricky. You need to have a fiull surround monitoring setup that is all calibrated with a spl meter. Only then can you know who much gain to give any channel.
But remember that LFE stands for low frequency effects. the only element that should ever be routed to that channel are sfx that have a lf content. Never voice or music etc.

HI
Can you post an example so we can understand the issue?

Do you mean Echo?
Echo is “a repeated echo multiple times of the same audio” ie echo, cho. cho, cho
or do you mean a delay, where there is a repeat of audio but not multiples?

Do you really need 18 tracks on the go all at once. Are the tracks long and have no cuts in them?

Is your machine also trying to run multiple streams of hd video etc etc.

Perhaps you could try moving some audio clips to different drives, and try putting some cuts in them to give the computer to re sync. Does that help.?

HI – to my ear there were 2 different issues.
The 1st problem in the start of the clip sounds more like a physical issue. So the mic cable, or the mic plug, or the socket, or a dry solder joint etc etc. It seems related to movement / paces.

Then I hear RF interference issues on the laster part which i agree with Ty on.

How come you didnt hear it as soon as it occurred and then address / adjust / fix before proceeding.
You were wearing headphones I presume?

In a city like NY you really have to be presuming that there WILL be issues around the corner so listening and adjusting constantly.
