[Judson Larke] ” I read somewhere that you can use a certain percentage of any song, royalty free. I think it was 10%. Is there any truth to this, even if the percentage is wrong? If so, how much of a song, be it in percentage, or some other measurement can be used?
“I had a copyright specialist explain this to me and it stuck.
Copyright means that you do or do not have the right to “copy” the material.
There isn’t any 10% rule. She mentioned that if a Judge can recognize the material you used and that it was originally “copyright” protected, then there is a case for a copyright violation.Ray Palmer, Engineer

A thought to consider.
If you were NOT recording Video, how would you mic the group?
With as many mics as you could and very close to the sound sources.Ray Palmer, Engineer

[Tyler Groom] “Would that be the best?”
I have done this a few times and it ALWAYS came back where the Band wanted to remix the music that I recorded.
In order to be able to re-mix the audio after the gig, you need to separate audio tracks for each “Voice” or musical instrument.If you want to go down that road, there are many ways to do it correctly.
[Tyler Groom] “One band ran their vocals only, through a mixer,”
The mix for the “House” is not the mix that you would want for a recording. I have used a multi channel Y cable before their mixer and taken my own split to my mixer. -
We had a lit pixel on one of our HDX900 cameas. I couldn’t clear it by black balancing.
I sent it to Panasonic and it came back repaired in a week. No charge and the memo said that it was corrected electronically.Ray Palmer, Engineer

[Ian Liuzzi-Fedun] “sc phase, h phase, chroma, video level and a bunch of other stuff.”
I am not familiar with that deck however SC phase and h phase, ONLY refer to timed machines. That is a machine that is receiving Black Burst other video as reference in.
SC, or subcarrier is a Delay control that adjust delay of the Subcarrier as it relates to the reference. The H phase is Horizontal Phase, a timing relationship to the horizontal pulse, again only as it relates to the video reference.
SC is color information and H is horizontal position or timing. You can attempt to adjust both SC or H and nothing will happen if a reference signal is not present.I suggest that you find a waveform monitor to set your video and chroma levels.

[Ty Ford] “Omni lavs clipped or g-taped to a ceiling tile or grid cease to become omni and become boundary mics. “
I do need to try that. It sounds like a better solution that what I have attempted in the past.

What is that old saying? Every time you cut the distance from the mouth to the microphone in half you double the dB or sound level.
Keep that in mind when you place the microphones in the ceiling.
I have seen choir microphones that drop from the ceiling using their cable and can be painted to match.
They will never sound as good as a head worn microphone.Ray Palmer, Engineer

[Sebastian Alvarez] “So we need to buy some sort of wireless microphone with a receiver tha can plugged in my camcorder, but this needs to be a good ambient microphone that can be set on the ceiling tile border right above the speakers’ area”
First rule of wireless mics, don’t use them unless nothing else will do.
Can you run a hard wired mic? It would be cheaper and a lot more dependable.Ray Palmer, Engineer

Johnny,
When you get a chance, can you add information to your Profile on the Cow?
I could help if you were in my area. We don’t know where in the world you are.Ray Palmer, Engineer
