Thanks a lot! I apologize for the late response. I thought I had this set up to alert me via email, but apparently not. I've since moved on to doing ADR of an important monologue that is essential to the movie as well as the only bit of production audio that is beyond redemption. I had my...

Any Adobe Audition users here have any advice for how to clean up and compress dialogue tracks without introducing a bunch of weird sounding artifacts and reverb? If not, are there any tips on how to fix these issues afterward, the weird reverb effect in particular? Thanks, all.

Thanks very much for the info. This is exactly the type of info I was hoping to get. I'm a tech savvy person and have read and understand all the reviews, but none of that means anything compared to testimonials from people who've actually shot with these cameras and understand specifically...

Hello, I'm in the market for my first DSRL purchase. I'm looking for something in the $1000.00 range including a workhorse "starter" lens. I've been researching on my own here and there for a couple months and it seems like the more I read, the less sure I am. Lately, I've been looking at...

I do plan on recording foley, at least an approximation of foley to the extent that my resources will allow. I already have the NTG-1 as I stated above and I'm leaning toward purchasing the Rode Boom Pole, the Avantone CK-1 for indoor dialogue recording, as well as the Rode WS6 Deluxe...

I'm curious if there exists any hypercardioid mic or another type of mic all together that would be sufficient for both indoor production recording (dialogue) as well as ambient/sound FX recording. I'm looking in the $200-$300 range. I ended up going with the NTG-1 for my shotgun and now I'm...

Hi! I run RavenousMonster.com.

Since this thread has been contributed to by more than enough knowledgable, helpful people, I'll pose my next question here rather than starting a new thread and we'll see how it goes. It's basically the same question except you should replace "shotgun mic" with "hypercardioid mic". I'm...

Thanks a bunch for all the info. I have most of the accessories already. I just wanted to specifically research mics for as long as possible because I know I'm not getting A-level equipment; I can't and I won't be able to for the foreseeable future. So, I want to make sure I squeeze out the...

Hi Paul, I thought about plugging into the camera, but the more I considered it the more I figured that the camera preamp has to be at least as crappy as the Zoom's. I mean, it's a camera, not a sound recording device. An even if the quality is comparable to that of the Zoom, I'd be teathered...

Thanks! Do either of you know which mic spec dictates its level and thus the overall signal to noise ratio? I hear that with the H4N the mic needs to have a high gain. How are the levels with the NTG1, Kurt? Jason

Hello, My co-producer is a videographer/hobbiest and he bought a Panasonic HVX250 recently, mainly to shoot a short that I wrote and plan to direct. Feeling guilty, I decided I'd handle purchasing the sound recording equipment. However, it turns out that his camera budget is much higher than...

Hello, I'm a screenwriter as well as the editor-in-chief of an online horror magazine. I'm currently based out of Madison, WI USA. For better or for worse, I've been talked into producing and directing a short script that I wrote. This site looks like perfect place for me to get some...
