    Azden SGM-1X vs. SGM-2X vs. SGM-250

    I have had the at875t for easily 13 years now. It works well, has a good sound (subjective, but without EQ I like it better than my ntg5) , a low end cut that helps with Handling and is relatively sensitive, possibly saving you the need to get a preamp. For the money, you can't go wrong. ​​​​...

    Guardians of the Galaxy > Star Wars > Star Trek

    I'm not sure I'd call GotG a space opera, I'd definitely would not call ST a space opera, so by that metric, I agree with you. ​​​​​​However I feel this is a bit of an apple to oranges comparison. GotG feels like an action comedy in a scifi setting, SW is a classic space opera (whatever that...

    Help me find a video of shotgun mics on a 20-ft C-stand

    This could be the one, but it is not the one that I was talking about (https://youtu.be/dS7hWOB5Evw?t=986). He's done this kind of video a few times.

    Help me find a video of shotgun mics on a 20-ft C-stand

    Pretty sure it is a video from this channel Sound Speeds - YouTube He was comparing two microphones from the same brand and the longer one was surprising (to me, not an expert at all). I had a brief look but could not find the specific video but I am 90% it is one of his.

    Dealing with Lip Smacking

    I think you mean mouth clicks? There are some plugins to deal with them. Izotope RX has something that will surely work decently https://www.izotope.com/en/products/rx/features/mouth-de-click.html People seem to be liking Accusonus products too, but I have not used them personally.

    Good job. Subscribed. Most times I look at a Fusion tutorial it is well beyond my skills, but you have done an excellent job to hitting my level of understanding.

    Comparing NTG5 vs AT 875r

    I have owned the 875r for about 10 years now and I like it a lot, but saw a pretty good deal on the NTG-5 and decided to add it to my small (2 shotguts, 1 very cheap cardioid and 4 lavaliers) collection. I put both microphones 8 cm away in parallel with the front of their interference tube at...

    Testing all the "smart" EQ and random post processing tools I could get my hands on.

    Testing all the "smart" EQ and random post processing tools I could get my hands on. So my ears are not the best and I can never get the whole swiping for unpleasant resonances/frequencies quite right, so I decided to get my hands on as many "smart" EQs and related post processing tools to see...

    Just for fun: What sound does this represent?

    I was starting to clean some recordings for my lockdown short http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?366024-Marginal-change-(working-title) and I saw this I was like "What the hell is that pattern at the bottom?!?!". I bumped up the volume, listened carefully and smiled when I...

    SHORT: Marginal change (working title)

    Last time I made a short I dropped it in here and got some sincere feedback. This time I am trying to go more with the supposed spirit of this section and expose the development process of a very amateur short.

    Help with boxy/muddy sounding voice

    Absolutely agreed that the biggest problem of the contactlessssssss is the length of that S! I am also interested in hearing Scott's take. The whole idea of the old school approach is a mystery to me. I remember reading about cutting syllables together to make words and every time I have tried...

    Help with boxy/muddy sounding voice

    Actually, one more question. Looking at the spectral view of the latest version I noticed energy cuts before and after the sibilant areas, but the reduction of the main "body" in the s sound was limited. Was this done by design, because you like it like that (it does shorten the sibilant sounds...

    Help with boxy/muddy sounding voice

    Sorry about the long absence. "In real life" I am a teacher and life goes to hell once the term starts. This is the first time in three weeks that I have a few hours for myself without being extremely tired. I listened to it a few times and I could tell the main offender "contactlessssss" was...

    Help with boxy/muddy sounding voice

    It's interesting to me that you did not cut. I looked at the spectrum and I guess the denoise process itself took off most of that below 100Hz and over 15KHz energy. RX5 standar does not have the gain module, but RX7 elements does, so that's something I'll give a go this weekend (I am a teacher...

    Help with boxy/muddy sounding voice

    That's really good (or at least it sounds great to my ears). I can see you did not cut nearly as much with the low and high passes and that you did a bit more intense noise reduction, but somehow you managed to keep it natural sounding. I've just spent 30 minutes tweaking the noise reduction...

    Help with boxy/muddy sounding voice

    Thank you for the explanation! I see you used mostly tools that I have (I am on RX5 standard, although got RX7 elements when it was on sale for 10 dollar and there some useful things there) and, more importantly, know how to use them! I had not considered using de-click for plosives, that's...

    Help with boxy/muddy sounding voice

    Chris, I think that person who told you about losing hearing elasticity nailed it. As a teacher I have to be in sometimes pretty noisy environments and there's a point when I start hearing these reverby distortions. It has also happened with music in places with a lot of reverb. It is as if some...

    Help with boxy/muddy sounding voice

    Bernie, I really liked that! You clearly used some denoise (or at least a notch to get rid of that noise at about 960Hz) I noticed that you softened a lot of the plosives by quite a bit and I think it works, beautifully. I had not noticed they were an issue until I listened (and looked at the...

    Thanks for all your answers guys. Just got home from holidays and will have a look around and probably will have some more questions when I am done looking, tomorrow!
