    Just struggling with this...

    So I want a character to look obsessive and detailed about stuff in a funny way. He's an engineer and outside of his job (but maybe in the office), I want to show him being really OCD and obsessive. For example, showing him at the beach with his wife / girlfriend. Then he starts building a...

    Cost to hire a good voiceover guy?

    You're kidding me, right? In the UK, a v/o artist would cost £500 max for a one-day read. This would be a high-quality professional who would deliver a superb read. That's $650 USD. I had a read the other day for £400 including studio time. $1,500 is waaayyy too much.

    Sound kit: Is there any point in...

    Zooms are tough. I've beaten up my Zooms, Tascams etc... and a Fostex. The Fostex died, two Tascams died but my Zoom (and SD) are still going strong. They're much tougher than the Fostex and Tascam and have been around Europe with me getting a hammering. Off to Rome, next with a little Zoom...

    Sound kit: Is there any point in...

    My thought process in getting to the F4N is: If I buy used, and literally 'perfect' condition, it is maybe 40% of the price. And I have more versatility because the F4 can then be a backup. If I use the analogue limiters on the Mix Pre-D with the low cuts, I can feed it straight into the...

    How to get a professional sound for a project for newcomers.

    I have a really different take from everyone else here. As a working pro, I like used gear and think good 'enough' quality audio for short films in non-professional environments can be achieved cheaply and easily. Specifically, I would do this: - Buy a used mic. I bought an ECM 674 for $70...

    Sound kit: Is there any point in...

    So I've been using a Mix Pre-D with fantastic results. Due to it's analogue limiters, it has saved me more on lots of different occasions and for field work, it's small, tougher than my ex-wife's divorce lawyer and allows me to get quality audio for interviews in difficult situations. It has...

    Recommendation for 75 year old editor

    So I need to buy a birthday present for tomorrow. This is for someone who has relatively recently taken up editing. They're using some cheap package on a Windows machine and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for something really simple for them. As I edit professionally, I...

    Script Collaborators Wanted

    Hello All! I've seven, feature screenplays and reached the stage where I have two that are decent. One has an excellent story but the writing needs to be tightened while a second has better writing and an interesting overall story but there need to be a load of structural changes. I've also...

    Recording Sound in Service Tunnel

    I didn't state the problem was solvable with a high pass or low cut filter, I said (and I quote myself) "it will help." And just to re-affirm (I think you're saying the same thing as me), frequencies cannot change through reflection per se as everything we know about physics would simple be...
