[videoblogging] Re: Advice about Lavalier mike
Any Lav will do, especially if you're using noise reduction before final output. The only goal is for the mic to pick up the subject's sound without picking up too much (or hopefully any) of the other person's sound so there's no 'bleed' between the channels. Make sure there's enough play in the cable so the subject doesn't pull on it, causing the mic to move, introducing obvious noises into your audio. MOST importantly, monitor the audio with headphones AFTER the final output. If you have two mics plugged into a mixer plugged into a miniDV camera, attach your headphones to the *camera*, not to the mixer. You want to know EXACTLY what's going on tape. That's because the mics are VERY sensitive to movement, which you won't hear through the air. Movement of a lapel, playing with a tie, putting a hand over the mic... It won't mean anything to you, listening through the air, but when you try to edit, you'll wonder where all that annoying scratching came from. -- Bill http://billcammack.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Kfir Pravda [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Following Kent's advice on the importance of audio, I am looking for an affordable leveler microphone.
