Hello Bouke,

The must be more to it than that. I’ve used tracks recorded from my Sound Devices 744T in FCP and had no problems in ND. I think there’s some info on the Sound Devices site about their using BWF but tweeking it some way. It wasn’t a problem here so I thought nothing of it.

Regards,

Ty

Hi Bob,

Well they are input limiters, and there’s only one control, so I’d set a level and speak loudly into it while tweeking the adjustments. Or, call Sound Devices and get their advice. They’re nice folks.

Hello John,

Thanks for noticing and thanks for the compliment. 🙂

It was recorded in my studio here in Baltimore. As you so keenly observed, environment is VERY important. I don’t know what mic you used, but, yes, omnis do hear more of the room.

I was about 6-8 inches from the mic, maybe that’ll help. Past that, we get into a discussion of acoustics that may end some time in the next millennia. The short of it is that a good space has a mixture of absorptive and diffusive surfaces to keep the sound from slapping around before it gets into the mic.

How’s that?

Regards,

Ty Ford

[Bob Cole] “Interesting point, and something I’ve never done. I simply turn the wireless on and check it. Are you saying that having the wireless receiver do the scanning will pick up a problem that my seat-of-the-pants practice does not?

I’m thinking of buying an additional wireless set (probably the Sennheiser G3), and have two questions:

Band A or Band B?
Small camera-mountable receiver or larger receiver? My application is mainly run-and-gun, which argues for the former, unless the larger receiver would be far superior.”

Hi Bob,

Scanning can help, but sometimes even scanning can’t get you out of a jam. If you’re in the same basic town, like Baltimore, I like A, 518-554MHz. The new G3 are a bit more narrow, but still A. That’s what I have.

Camera/bag is fine. The larger receiver is not battery powerable.

Hello Ed,

Because shotgun mics are not very directional at middle and low frequencies. In tight quarters, that makes them pickup way too much (and very UNwanted) room sound.

Craig,

No, confidence monitoring means you are monitoring off the playback head of the recording device. So you know you’re listening to what’s coming off the tape.

Porting the headphone output of the camera back down the hose to the mixer lets you be confident that the audio is making its way to the camera’s input properly, but doesn’t guarantee that it actually was recorded properly.
