Andy
depends which version youre on.
MC7 has the option for more and a master fader is added for overall control and metering.
But really once youre going into multiple plugins etc in avid, id strongly suggest you flip into Pro Tools where you can do the audio properly.

Do you really mean Modist
“a maker and seller of fashionable gowns and millinery for women.”
or Modest
“unassuming in the estimation of one’s abilities or achievements.”

Well as its temporary then it will never really get addressed to be a shooting space.
as much soft material as possible would be best for you

Well of course it all depends on the type and levels of the extraneous noise youre fighting. Clearly using a directional mic pointing away from the noise will help, but if the noise is audible in the space youre pointing into then the mic will hear it as the sound is reflected not only direct.
what are the surfaces like in the space. Soft and absorbent or hard and reflective. Parallel to one another or broken up by screens and soft furnishings etc, carpeted or hard floor,
Is the ceiling low and absorbent or high and hard.

Why cant you do anything to isolate the space if this is given for you to shoot in?

You really want the walls to be solid and dense enough to stop sound transferring into the shoot space from outside. I suggest building a brick cavity wall filled with dry sand, and then treating the inside surfaces with absorbent panels to deaden the interior space.

It all depends on how serious you are about getting it to sound good.

Unless you treat the space isolating it from unwanted sounds then you will get them on your recording irrespective of which mic you use.
Basic rule. if you can hear the noises, so can the mic! Not rocket science really.

Get the environment right, and the kit right.

Can you post a sample of the affected audio

Re “an automated fix” I say not. Nothing automated about these things.
This is why its best to take the time in the prep, manning, setup and rehearsal to get it right on location as a fix can be
1) less than ideal
2) impossible at all
3) costly.

Lets have a listen and well see what can be done,

Ash. Hard luck
In the uk we have a very reasonable licensing system where you can but a license for weddings etc very cheaply.

I agree.
If youre on a different frequency then you couldnt be the culprit. Could you hear anything from the house lav on your recieber at all???

Id add that a lav going through a PA is its self a seriously BAD idea unless you have someone
1) who knows what theyre doing
2) and in constant attend on the fader to deal with it pretty quick.

I dont think theyre that suitable for PA use.

Why worry about a bit of ragginess, when you choose to record in a space that has had NO care to its acoustics at all.
Ill never sound decent in this space.
Nb was it a radio mic. I feel i can hear a bit of rf envelope hunting right at the start
