In my opinion, the sound pick up will still be very disappointing.
Is it impossible to increase this to 3 rifle mics and hang left 1/3. Centre and right 2/3. And hang quite low.
Better IN ADDITION, identify the key performers and put personal radios on them and put someone on a mix..
Whats ever way a better result will add complexity and cost, but this is how its done.
Your single mic will be better than the camera mic at the back, but wont be that good.

You say youve been searching for hours for an easy way of getting 2 mics combined successfully onto the same track.
It really IS as easy a “audoio mixer” if as Ty correctly suggests against, you are intent on committing to a whole raft of problems that are un pickable.
Why would anyone ever want to limit their options. Keeping options open is the name of the game.
Your way is a little like putting sugar in tea, before youve asked if people want sugar. You cant take it out, only satrt again with a fresh cup. easy with tea, not so easy with shoots etc etc.

PPMulator by zplane is good, accurate AND cheap but i dont think you can integrate it within the host computer (although Ive heard people have success interfacing it using “virtual cable” but i couldnt make it work.
I keep my meters outboard, but its obviously more costly.
Zplane have a good support and forum base so you should contact them.

Give h264 a go.

Any reason why youre set on hd playback. Seems youre placing un necessary stress on an audio system by making it do hd?

Hi Brendan.
Speaking as a Dubbing mixer id suggest
1) Be clear on how suitable the speakers are you are listening on. Edit suites / avids etc generally dont have studio quality monitors attached. Why would you? But if youre making eq decisions based on your ears (and thats the most important thing) how do you really know what youre listening to compared to the end audience????

2) Never over eq unless its for dramatic effect, and once youve set it so it sounds the way you want it, dont keep going back to it and re pusing the eq. Your ears will aclimatise to the new sound, and continually re visiting it will make it way over baked in the morning.

3) do listen to your mix on a variety of different monitors. makke a dvd and listen on different tvs so you have a real world experience rather than trusting your edit setup..

In general terms, your dialogue should be crisp and clear with some warmth, but not overly sibilant. The clarity is in the 5k – HF range.

Good luck
Peter
