not to my knowledge.

They might make it sound different, but not better.

Hello Johnny and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

I think the viewer will accept the voice change as long as it doesn’t. In your mask sample, you do sound a bit masked.

Is there any way to alter the mask slightly so that it doesn’t cover as much of your mouth or nose?

January 4, 2016 at 2:39 am in reply to: Tips for adding background music to dialogue driven videos?

Hello Victor and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

In addition to what’s been presented…..

Choosing and using the right music is an art and a science.

It would be helpful to hear examples of what you’re talking about if you could point us to some examples.

There are a few guidelines I use. Instrumentals with horns are a problem. Horns frequently occupy the same frequency range as voices. If you REALLY like the track, you may be able to EQ it by pulling down centered around 3 kHz, to make the track less problematic. Other music tracks may be dealt with on a case by case basis.

I frequently use some minor compression and/or limiting on the voices to make them more persistent. Depending on the talent, some people speak with relative consistency while others rise and fall like the tides. Still others seem to run out of energy at the end of every line before they inhale, begin with a peak for the first few words before tapering off. During the ebbs, the music may overtake the voice. A quick look at the wave form may show a rise in music level just as someone “goes soft.”

Devices like the Aphex Compellor, a hardware compressor, used to be very effective in smoothing out the dynamics of a piece of music without making those changes audible. Perhaps there’s a current dynamic range controlling device that you’ll also find effective.

So, a mild combination of manual gain control and compressor uses may give you what you need.

Hello Shea and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

Provided you can get a proper camera mount with a suspension that keeps camera handling noises from being picked up, this AT mic can use Phantom Power or run on its own batteries. I have one for just those occasions.

Peter,

Good thought! Isn’t there another program that does something similar?

It’s a woman’s name, named after the person who used to do the work manually…….

Molly?

Thanks Bruce,

Odd. What I came up with for the Faulkner phased array included two parallel Figure of Eight mics, spaced and aimed at the sound source.

Wonder why..

Peter,

My description or the file itself?

I was interested in what the combination would sound like. the TLM 103 were about 2.5 feet either side of the CMC641. I hadn’t heard of Faulkner. I sort of sussed it out and decided to try it on one of our recordings. When I got the files back in the studio and played them over the Event Opals, I was very pleased with the mixed results. The CMC641 are very tight. The TLM103 are very wide.

Peter,

I have done a flute choir with one pair of Schoeps CMC641 in coincident X/Y and a pair of Neumann TLM 103 as a spaced pair outside the X/Y to four tracks of my Sound Devices 664. I forget, but I probably panned them full left/right. The 664 also does isos and a stereo mix. I seem to recall the stereo mix worked very well as is (was).

Here’s an mp3 of one of those: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d1p25xyai506xkc/Baltimore%20Flute%20Choir.mp3?dl=0

Best of luck with your recording and please do stop back and let us know what you learned.
