If doing a more long term fixture, worth investing a couple bucks into nicer materials, but if you are just needing quick and cheap, there are these rolls of really cheap plastic table cloth. Get...

When I heard how natural the MKH40 sounded on voice though..... I nearly went with that, but it just didn't have the same sort of isolation/reach. But damn, I really like the way that mic sounds...

You're right though, choosing a mic is sometimes a choice between seemingly different types, and that just highlights how there is no one size fits all microphone.

With news, I often felt I was...

unfortunately it is a complete matter of taste. i don’t feel the sound is so scooped that it can be EQ’d back to something more neutral. there were definitely times when i was hearing the 8050 along...

the AT4053b was just so solid, i never bothered with testing the Audix or AKG, but they may very well be equal or better. but i think AT hits a level of quality that doesn’t leave me searching for...

absolutely love it!

To answer sincerely, JB posts on several forums, including reduser, and has a blog. he is out there.

good info!

ever sonce i sold off all but a few of my mics, i’ve been considering adding a few again. this thread has me nostalgic for sound recording. like i completely miss the sound of a CMC441...

Seems the Neumann KM185 only occasionally gets brought up, but some people like that one over the Schoeps/Senn options. and it sits at $900 or so USD, so sits right between the lower end and the...

i think on the list of budget SDC for dialogue recording the AKG has got to be close to the top of the list, though, i’m assuming there is something better out there. penultimate is sort of a word...

Agreed. it took me a second to appreciate it, but actually really think they handled it well.

Zack Snyder's "Army of the Dead" on Netflix is shot primarily wide open on some crazy rehoused vintage Canon lenses at like 50mm f0.95. All manual focus -_-


...

any updates, after a month of use?

always heard that was the penultimate budget mic. great price they have it going for. looks like someone just scooped it. i’ve not tried it out yet. was it discontinued?

i’ve not seen it in HDR yet. i saw the pilot. in SDR it was not particularly memorable, but certainly top tier production.

What I've found with testing and working with Red cameras of late, is that they are a bit of a blank slate. Most shooters just aren't that technical and they rarely get the best out of them, compare...

I haven't watched much content in HDR. I can see what you are saying though, and it certainly changes the feel of any footage. But I think what you are seeing is more about the style of the people...

Yeah, the MKH8000 series is pretty great. There was something definitely different between the sounds of the MKH8050 and the MKH50 when I tested them, and that could push one towards the 8000...

Yes, with CAD lens design and the latest AF, shooting at F1.4 in an improvised manner, even without marks is possible. That is something no filmmaker has ever really thought "I need to have that" in...

I didn't expect that. I know they stated in the cineD article that they believe the Mini LF was less denoised, but my assumption would have been that they tuned the shadows on the Mini LF to be a...

Oh goodness. Just when it was getting easier. haha. Can' take anything for granted.

Oh my! I've only seen those in pictures! very cool!

Agreed. Yeah, their numbers generally reflect the experiences I've had.

And I do believe that one extra half a stop makes a huge difference in digital cinema cameras. Because often, in the real...

looks cool, what is the lens?

An iconic theater in LA has closed (indefinitely, may get bought up and re-opened). I don't think we can totally thank Nolan for saving cinema just yet.
