mixing 5.1 surround in post

Re: mixing 5.1 surround in post

Well, you don't want to record in stereo, usually. You want to record different elements in mono, especially dialogue -- and then do the mixing later.
 
Re: mixing 5.1 surround in post

the dialogue will be recorded with two mics inhouse of the dvx100a

well one will be on a boom pole above the action or behind it for the dialogue and the other one will be on a boom pole used as a room mic to pick up the surrounding noises
 
Re: mixing 5.1 surround in post

Don't do that. As a sound editor and designer I am telling you that the second mic with other noises will never be used. If you only have one mission with regards to production sound, it's to get good dialogue on production. Backgrounds should be recorded seperately when nothing else is going on.
