Mike,
I would consider the head mount mic except for one thing. Wind noise which also seems to be a plague when shooting outside. I use a fuzzy on my lav and sometimes hide that whole thing under my shirt. I don’t think there’s a solution for wind on the head mount. Any thoughts on that?
ThanksRoger Bansemer

John, you sure know your math. I have trouble figuring out 6% sales tax!

Hi Grazie,
I’ll make a note of this for future reference but as it is now the type of program Sarah and I do, this type of mike wouldn’t fit the format as it’s not a reporting sort of thing, it’s strictly conversational.
The question still remains for me:
Why do I never hear background trucks, etc when reporters are next to a highway. I know they hold the mike close but I often see them holding it further away than what my lav mike is which is right at my throat so it has to be something else.
So what is the difference here that I’m missing and why can’t a lav mike produce the same result?
I know all the answers like, they have their backs to the traffic and block the sound, their facing away from the wind, etc. I just feel like there is something that I’m missing.
That’s not to say we get lousy audio. We don’t. I’m just wanting to know a bit more so we can improve.
Fortunately this forum is polite enough not to mug the first person to come along with questions which I very much appreciate.Roger Bansemer

I hesitatingly went back to read the posts and after reading more backhanded comments, I did see the post about that DPA 4071 lav mic. Not sure why a would want an omni directional mike though. That’s something I’m trying to get away from.

I use ripple all the time and couldn’t do without it.
Ctrl/L is so inconvenient.
I’ve set mine up so I can use the caps lock key, just one key.
Go to options/customize keyboard
type in ripple at the “show commands containing” area.
That will bring up all the ripple effects.
I have set the “options.DoAutoRipple” to caps lock.
You can replace it or add it to your hot keys.
I’ve replaced mine.Hope that helps.

Hi Mike,
I posted on that forum and got a ton of helpful posts almost immediately. You were right though, someone told us we were set up to fail and since I said we don’t have the ability to carry lots of equipment in our small RV and since it’s just the two of us shooting, etc. that we were guaranteed ourselves to be mediocre or something like that. Geez!
We’ve produced over 60 PBS shows so far and they all pass the technical evaluation by PBS. It’s just Sarah, me and with the help of John Rofrano and this forum that have done that. That’s it. I don’t know anyone else that has taken on such a huge load. And it is huge.
A audio book was suggested and I ordered that. Thanks for pointing me to that forum. Despite the slams, there is a lot of help there as well.Roger Bansemer

Thanks Mike. I’ve signed up over there. Thanks for suggesting it.

Yes, that’s exactly what I was saying or trying to say. Most places I deal with never tell me what the actual size is they want for a final and only keep saying “give me the image at 300 dpi”. They think that’s the only number that matters.

You know, one thing I never understand about all those places asking for 300 dpi images… They never tell you what size the image is to be. I license my paintings for products and a company might tell me they want me to send them an image at 300 dpi for a product they are going to make say for instance a coffee coaster. What difference does it make when the image I have is 20 megs?
