Oh okay. Would the NTG-3 and the 4053b have low selfnoise, and would be considered sensitive?
-
Oh okay, I see. Well when it comes to offline practice, as well as when I do gigs, it seems that in order to record a normal volume speaking voice in normal conversations, recorded on the AT4053b, I have to turn gain up to about 90% and the volume up to about 85-90%, so it that normal, or is that unusually high?
-
Okay thanks, my ears were telling me that the 4053b needs more gain so I guess I was right, then it looks like. However, does this mean that the Zoom F8 is a better field recorder cause you don’t have to turn the pre-amps up as high to power the mics, and therefore less gain and less noise floor cause of more power?

Oh okay thanks. I have the Rode NTG-3 and the Audio-Technica 4053b. It seems to me that the 4053b, needs more, if that’s right?

Oh well I took a course at the Recording Arts Institute of Saskatoon, and they said it’s gotta be 48 volts and that if I am having low quality, than that’s likely my problem if the pre-amplification is not going high enough.
-
Oh okay thanks. When you say 48V will be a thing of the past do you mean most newer microphones will not need it then?
Also, what do you mean by ‘offline’ in this context?

I was testing it out on the Canon T2i, but will use a better Canon camera for actually shooting the actual project I want. Basically the focus points I make on the follow focus are not the same. Point A, is no longer A, but a little past point A when I rack focus for example. I was told it was because it’s a fly-by-wire lens, and fly-by-wires do not hold the exact same marks when you want to rack focus, if that’s the problem, which it seems to be.

Okay thanks, I’ve done that before, marking where the actors are to focus. But the problem is, is that the fly-by-wire lens is causing problems, when hitting the mark. When I hit the mark, the lens will choose to go from macro to infinity when I don’t want it to.
I was watching this video on it, and he says that is what is happening with a fly-by-wire lens:

In the video he says that when you try to pull the focus, it goes from macro to infinity when you do not want it to cause it’s a fly-by-wire focus ring on the lens. And since that is a problem with fly-by-wire rings, no follow focus with hard stops will correct that because the lens will still go from macro to infinity when you do not want it to, regardless, of whether or not the follow focus has hard stops or not it seems. So what I mean is, what do you about the lens going from macro to infinity, even with a follow focus?

You mean my lens? There might be a time leg, yes. Cause it goes back into focus when it’s done.

Okay thanks, but a follow focus only has two hard stops right? One at end of the follow focus, and one at the other, right? What if in order to focus on an actor, you had focus to a point on the follow focus where there is no hard stop? What difference does having hard stops make, if actors are at points on the follow focus where there are not hard stops, at, what then?
