Well the MIC was less than 14 inches from the talent’s mouth and they were both more than 12 feet from the camera. The boom was extended about 6 feet and lashed to a C-stand, but I don’t think the placement of the boom is an issue. 🙂

I think this was transport noise. It was only audible when the camera was rolling. Then, on a quiet set, even at 12 feet or so, it was audible. More so than the HVAC in the building.

Is the fan always on?

So whether it sounds like “life” or not… it DOES sound (virtually) exactly the way the studio engineers heard it when it was mixed and recorded.
Analog tapes and LP records ALWAYS “added” (subtracted?) their own “sound” to the original master (which, even with Dolby and high-speed tape, itself had artifacts different from the “live” session.I know digital is said to “degrade” the analog wave… but hey, its so CLOSE (and the copies are so PURE) that it is about as perfect as we NEED at the moment… and as time goes by (at the TOP end at least), it will get better.
—-Well sort of. What they hear on the mix stage of a feature film (imagine Skywalker) is seldom experienced at home on the DVD player. This is due to the high end gear they use on a mix stage and their tweeked aoustical environment.
Theater playback systems (not home theater, typically) hold the promise of a more comparable listening experience, but everything depends on the thater’s system and how well it’s tweeked.
For the consumer going to the local video store, the DVD making process means we’re not hearing linear PCM audio with movies anyway.

No problem with a 441 for narration. Use what you have.
The new Neumann radio mic uses the same capsule.

Yes, DAT is fading.
$1500 puts you in the neighborhood of the Edirol r-4, which does not have timecode.
If you clap before and after each scene, you can use that to confirm sync.
There are other solutions.

Go to my site. Click on the On Line Archives n column #2. Look in the Video Folder for the 29 MB mic tutorial mp4.
That’ll give you a good leg up. My little book (info about it on my site) will also fill in lots of blanks, but nothing takes the place of experienced ears.
