Hello Chip and welcome back to the Cow Audio Forum.

I have an idea, but don’t know how well it might work.

Using your edited protools audio as a master, can you use Pluraleyes to sync all the video clips?

Hello Didier and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum,

Have you engaged the phantom power supply on the Zoom H5?

The Sennheiser MD46 is a dynamic mic and does not require phantom power.

Hello Melanie,

My best advice is to run away very quickly and hope they don’t notice your’e gone until you’re out of sight.

They chose who and how to record poorly and are expecting you to be their savior. There is no “high-quality” to be had in a situation like this.

You are up against the Laws of Physics.

There are several other noise reduction softwares out there, but they all work similarly. If you bought iZotope’s RX3 and spent some time learning how to use it, you’d probably improve the situation, but I suspect you’d fall quite a bit short of “High Quality.”

They may find it acceptable. At the end of your pursuit you’ll know a lot more about noise reduction and you may find that useful.

Mike,

Six hard surfaces! Oww!

Um, OK, so the best compromise I can come up with is a directional PZM. sitting on a book (or something else that has a relatively large flat surface on the table.

Not ideal, but workable if the lav is a problem due to the head bowing. If you bow your head while wearing tha lav, typically, you’ll be right into it.

With the PZM directly in front of you, you won’t have that problem.

Of course finding a better place than a room with six hard surfaces will improve your audio as well.

Hello David,

Thanks for chiming in. How do you rig that cos-11 rubber mount? Do you have any favorite places? Do you use the Top Stick to adhere the rubber to the skin.

Hello Larry and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

Mastering is more about final EQ, compression, limiting and level adjustments. You appear to be asking about panning.

I don’t think there’s anything carved in stone about panning preferences. I try to avoid severe, full left and full right panning unless there’s a good reason to do so.

I tend to be conservative in situations like this and keep the speaker’s voices more to center, if not “mono” or with both tracks panned to the center because, sometimes, somewhere downstream, someone will incorrectly decide to use only one channel of my two channel audio.
