I would say, more edit techniques, more in-depth audio mixing process. We all know you need clean dialog, foley, FX and ambiance, but how exactly do you manage to mix them "properly" so it doesn't sound "bad" or "forced" in the mix?
Maybe a wider range of microphones? Maybe a portion focused a bit more on entry-level equipment? I want to improve my sound, but as a hobbyist at best, there's a price range I can't exceed. The mics presented in the first volume were all great, but were meant for more semi-pro/professionals more than average user. I've used microphones that are selling from 80$ to 270$ and they gives decent results. Maybe considering to use them and compare with higher end/more expensive ones, that would help people to decide what to choose, depending on what they can afford. I like the sound of my Cardioid Audio-Technica MB4k, but I'd be curious to hear the difference it has with the Oktava Hyper-Cardioid 012. I know, different types of mics to start with, but a different price tag as well. As it's been mentioned, using a good technique while recording can make a better difference over buying expensive gear and using it wrong.
This would be nice, because it might be simple on paper, but when you're dealing with that ammount of audio, like DR_0007.wav that match the MVI_0057.MOV, it becomes a lot more complicated than it seems. I know, I went by that process recently. I usually worked on smaller project, simple workflow all done into the NLE and recently switched to proper editing for video and sound, separately.
That would be great. I second that. I searched a lot no the web for good videos and tutorials about Compression/Limiter and haven't found anything that explained well imho. I know the basic, but maybe some tricks and some guideline on how it works, might help a lot.
I think you pretty much summed it. I'm in the amateur range, hobbyist at best, so I'd like if that aspect could be covered a little more in-depth.
That would be a good complement to the first volume, which was more aimed toward how to get best sound when recording. Now, it would make sense to actually learn more in-depth how to work it in post before the final delivery.
Maybe some advices and tips on how to "caliber" (or best setup) using "inferior" than Studio Monitors speakers?
Would be nice, I second that.
That would be nice. Also, if you're not using a mixer (because it's quite expensive to start with..) how can you manage to get usable sound with less equipment. I mean, start with the "ideal" setup with everything one would need, then "shrink" that to the bare minimum equipment one should get.
As the "Production" part has been covered in the first volume, the post-prod (where you actually work the most with your sound) should be nice if detailed in-depth.
Like why a slate is something you should invest in. But on the other end, when you have your video, and you create "subclips" in the trimmer, how do you sync your audio if you don't have that "clap" at the beginning anymore because you selected only the portion of that scene you wanted? I faced that issue recently, and I had to spend a lot of time syncing the audio for the dialog. General tips on this would be welcome.
Good! Looks like this will be another good investment when it'll release!
