I'm editing my film and cannot get the air noise to go down without the audio being total shit. I'm not sure exactly how it's done in "The Biz" (that sounds pretty unprofessional, but oh well; I'm indie, right? Haha), so I don't know what exactly to do.
I shot with a boom and muff on the boom, now in post, should I adjust the levels so it's quiet when no one speaks, then the volume goes up when they speak, then down right after? I can still hear the air noise when that happens, so it's a bit distracting to me to hear ssssssSSSSHHHHHHTALKTALKTALKSSSHHHHsssssss if that makes any sense whatsoever (as you can tell, I'm typing this from the comfy cell of an asylum).
So, if there is quite a bit of background air noise (thought the speaking words, etc., are louder), is it a dealbreaker for festivals? Thanks!
