Was on B&H's site and just noticed Zoom has dumped the F4 so if you are interested in one you might be able to get a great deal if anyone has any stock left.

Checker boarding originally was so mixers (with no automation) had enough of a gap between clips to get in and out. Mixing analog till the 90's or late 80's was a one reel at a time no pauses no punch in/ no automation performance. So you had to have enough space (and mixers, the people) to...

There is a "rule" that supposedly eliminates or at least vastly reduces the phaseyness. If I remember correctly it's three to one, I'm sure it can be googled. The idea is that the "off" mic is three times the distance to the subject as the "on" mic. I can't say that I personally have ever...

That is what it is called in film also. Your time might be a little optimistic, but it does get faster as you go. It also depends on how much cleanup you do, and that is very project dependant. As a rule I would be removing extra "ums" and such, and on an audio only project taking out all...

From SD "The Scorpio, 888, 833, 633, and 688 offer two automatic mixing algorithms: Sound Devices’ own MixAssist and Dugan Automix, a collaboration between Sound Devices and Dan Dugan Sound Design, Inc."

A small correction. I fell into the trap also by implying that the phase invert shifts the phase. It doesn't in inverts the polarity, it doesn't shift the phase.

To clear up some assumptions When I said "close" I meant "close" not paired mic. He is filming an interview/ conversation they are not going to be very far apart, JCS just made the assumption. IF it were paired mics then the latency would be basically nonexistent. The "flip the phase" to fix...

The reason I would not even try flipping the phase is that what you have is a latency issue not a phase issue. Because it's a timing thing the phase difference between the two channels is frequency dependant. Lower frequencies are less out of phase than higher frequencies so flipping the phase...

The hollow sound is phasing because of the difference in distance between the two mics. Using only one at a time is the best way to solve the problem. You could also keep them in stereo that should minimise the phasing. The one thing you absolutely do not want to do is mix them to mono, that...

I may have to take a poke at this. Almost everyone seems to be using over all plugin solutions VS editing. In the film relm editing is #1. Or was, I may be a tad behind what is du Jour. You don't spend a lot of time trying to tune a plugin you just cut out the problem, or swap it with...

Along with general hearing issues rooms can only handle so much energy. Once you pass the energy a room can handle you get distortions. Acoustic spaces like churches can easily overload with amplified sound, or even really loud acoustic instruments. Now on a strictly science level it may be...

Aram, Your playback system seems OK. Good choices and not a "home stereo" set up. So you should practice a bit and learn to trust your ears a bit more maybe? Also you are probably working close enough that you are in the "near field" range (almost all you hear is direct from the speaker) so...

My filter gain only goes to +12dB so that is what I sweep with. I am not trying to "fix" the vocal so much as to remove or cut down on the resonant frequencies that tend to make dialog sound "boxy" and or muffled. These are peaks where they shouldn't be because of room acoustics and or mic...

So late to the discussion, a week vacation with no internet... Ahh what peace!. Anyway, a general vocal correcting in post technique is to sweep the spectrum with a really tight (high Q) band pass at max gain. When you find a freq. that peaks, that is a place you will want to notch down...

The Clavicle is also known as your collar bone, in the US anyway.
