Hello Rueben and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

Sounds like one of your devices has a “dirty power supply” and that dirt is what you’re hearing when you connect the devices in certain ways.

HI Mark and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

Is the problem their inhales? Can you post something?

If you’re using limiting and compression, inhales can get a lot bigger than normal.

Trying to direct someone about breath sounds who’s being interviewed is probably the wrong approach. It’ll probably make them self-conscious and screw up their responses.

Hello Mariusz and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

I’m guessing you didn’t have a dead cat filter on your boom mic. Get one before you shoot outdoors again.

I can’t tell what your presenter/narrator sounded like without processing, but if the wind was anything like the other two, you had your hands full. I’d get her to re-record the narration track in the studio. For me, she doesn’t help much on-camera because she never looks at the camera. Do you have enough footage to cover her if she’s not on camera? Maybe shoot some B-roll? to fill the spaces. Maybe put her on a prompter and green screen her where she’s at least looking into the camera and put some footage behind her.

Your two other talent…..boy, they’re really blown out. The only salvation would be the girl because you can see how much the wind blows her hair. Still not a great situation.

Hopefully other post folks will chime in here.

Please let us know what you did.

Hi Devin and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum,

That’s a sound I’ve never heard before, but it sounds like some sort of local interference to your environment. Does the G3 do that elsewhere?

I don’t think it’s the mic, unless the mic is receiving the interference. In general, using the more expensive Sennheiser MKE-2 over the stock ME-2 is preferred. I don’t know that it would have solved that problem. Was he wearing a pacemaker?

Hello Ionut,

You know, of course that any mic mounted on a camera is not the best choice, right?

You have many choices. I like the Audio-Technica 8024.

[Ty Ford] “You have been told how and why your thoughts will get you in trouble.”

You know, I really don’t understand the hostility here. Your response consisted of “Don’t do it.” David’s was “It’s a horrible idea.” Where is the how or the why in either of those?

Dear Tom, There is no hostility on this end.

[Ty Ford] “Even in theory, your idea will not work. ”

See, again, you throw out a statement with no support. That’s not discussion, it’s browbeating. Why is the idea so offensive to you? The concept is to reduce ambient sound and allow for critical listening; how is this different from having sound isolation headphones, or working in a quiet environment?

No, Tom, these are facts. Rail against science if you want, but please keep me out of it.

[Ty Ford] “Please test it before the reality of it bites you it the butt and tarnishes your reputation.”

Yes, absolutely! I rely on tried-and-true methodologies. You’ll notice that I ran out and bought the amazing cans David mentioned.

I suspect that sound cancelling technology is immature, but it sure looks promising. If you were to have suggested, 20 years ago, that taking an in-line noise filter to a shoot was a good idea, you’d have been roundly scoffed. Now, it was your go-to response, and one supported by others. Why is it crazy to think that, 20 years from now, sound cancelling monitoring won’t be the norm?

Dear Tom, I don’t care. I’ll very like be dead.

[Ty Ford] “I’m not sure we can be of further assistance.”

I’m interested in discussion. Informed feedback. Maybe even someone who is experimenting with the concept. If all you’re interested in is telling me “no,” mission accomplished. Feel free to ignore my continued curiosity.

Dear Tom, if you peruse the posts, I don’t think you’ll find a lot of discussion. The main crew who hangs here, myself included, have day jobs and are not paid to hang out.

[Ty Ford] “That has been asked and answered. Please move on.”

Does it really hurt you so much to allow exploration of a valid question?

Tell you what. Report your question and open it up for discussion.

Dear Tom,

You have been told how and why your thoughts will get you in trouble.

I’m not sure we can be of further assistance.

Your tag line, “The difference between theory and reality is that, in theory, there is no difference between theory and reality.” presents an interesting conundrum.

Even in theory, your idea will not work. Please test it before the reality of it bites you it the butt and tarnishes your reputation.

Hugh,

Thanks for the nice words.

The best thing you can do is try it and find out. BTW, there’s a thread about the AVX that needs to be done on some units to prevent them from clipping peaks occasionally.

https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/30/877575

He has to send his units into Sennheiser for a firmware upgrade.
