Anyone use Ableton Live? Any good? Better to use Acid? (I've no clue what Live is, and barely glanced at Acid, so I don't even know if they are similar enough to compare....)

if you google that mic you will find nothiing but people ragging on it
still if I hadn't been listening so closely for mic quality I might not have noticed and it does have that sort of raw sound you said you were going for
here's a cool page on EQing vocals if you decide you ever wanna make the mic a little more present

kickass song though man -- really -- not just saying that because I don't like the mic, that's really a great track.Last edited by Jack Daniel Stanley; 03-03-2006 at 07:52 AM.

well I just gave up because the price point for even the system I have now was SOOOOO out of reach in the mid to late 80's / early nineties. Plus I was supposedly going to be an actor at that point, but became a theatre director and composer/sound designer for theatre, and got more work than I wanted in the latter category.
So if I had been focused as a composer or recording engineer -- who knows.
Now I have 12K of video gear vs. audio gear.
Which reminds me ... I was so f@cking jealous of the completely professional ultra smooth camera movement in A Brief Case and then I looked at your BTS pics and all that sh@t is homemade ... WTF! I was sure you had some store bought mojo like a cobra crane, etc.
I think in addition to mics we also have the same book, Killer DV Rigs, you can build. But I have never gotten my dolly (the only thing I've made from the book yet) to be smooth. I think this is the biggest production area of mine that needs work - stabilization and dolly / crane movement.
They're just such effective narrative tools and add so much value.
and I loved the shostrings holding the camera at the right angle - that's just exactly what this digital revolution is all about!
You guys obviously did a nice job of putting that thing together also.JACKDANIELSTANLEY.COM

I saw that and was gonna say that you should pick up one of Jarred's 5600 batt's and then I thought ... wait you just won one didn't you?
I have three of those big ass things and i've rarely had to use more than one on a shoot, yout're gonna love it of that's not the batt you already have, and even then it's great to have more than one.JACKDANIELSTANLEY.COM

yeah i am psyched about that battery! all i have now is the one that came with the camera. excited about the mattebox too but i'm not sure exactly what it does. do you know? i just got a sweet camera bag for christmas so that will probably go to somebody else who worked on the film. very jealous of your steadi-cam. you're gonna get some sweet stuff outta that!

Only thing you can't do is pull information from a blownout area, so a grad filter might be necessary for that. You can get all sorts of cool tobacco, and coffe grad filters too, but again you can do those in post. The rectangular filters are sometimes thought to be higher quality but they are more expensive to.
While you can always tape a piece of cradboard on the side that's creating the lens flare, the guys that did Broken said they wished they'd had a mattbox on set, because they used a century wide angle ... which is another advantage I guess - you MIGHT be able to use it with other lenses that the stock "lens hood" that says LEICA in big letters may not fit over on a lens by lens basis.JACKDANIELSTANLEY.COM
