Without a lot more info about the shoot/shot (indoors/outdoors, talking heads/action, etc.) it's very hard to give advice. First, the 2020, although a nice mic, is not meant for sound for picture. So get/rent a shotgun mic or a couple of lavs. Second, why is the different sound from the...

Double post - sorry

Although very basic (not a lot of options, minimal effects), iMovie does a decent job. For an interface the Canopus the ADVC-55 goes for about $200. Again, very basic but does a nice job.

To summarize from previous posts, worldizing the sound by playing the scene through a quality speaker set-up and re-recording with a quality recording set-up will give you the most natural sound. This is a common practice amongst sound designers. The beauty of modern DAWs is the flexability...

Re: boom pole accessories I wouldn't consider the ATR55 a "good mic".

As a rule of thumb remember that, for the most part, the camera manufacturers are focusing on (pardon the pun) the visual aspects of their products, so the audio capabilities will not be of the same quality. This includes the mic, the mic pre-amps and the audio AD/DA converters. If nothing...

You get what you pay for! There are no "great" Sound FX libraries that are inexpensive. You can buy by the sound from: www.sounddogs.com www.sonomic.com You can get "free" sounds from: LJudo - mixed quality, but okay. http://ljudo.com/ The FreeSound Project...

Inputs/Outputs - Are you using the correct output of the mixer and the correct input on the camera? Settings - Is the input level of the camera set to MIC or LINE? It should be on LINE. Check the output type on the mixer as well, is it too hot? Levels - Check the input levels on the...

Sorry guys and gals, I just don't have the time to look through everyones profile and contact you. I have been asked to act as the music supervisor of a project in addition to my roles as supervising sound editor/sound designer and assistant editor. This low budget indie film is a love story...

Re-recording (postproduction sound mix) is a true artform. It requires great ears, great speakers and a great room. The most difficult part is translation - it has to sound good in 5.1, stereo and mono and has to sound good in the theatre, at home (with an infinite combination of speakers...

For live sound you can check out the live sound forum at recording.org: http://www.recording.org/forum-32.html They also cover using some of the softwares you listed for recording.

The SGM-1X is a short shotgun, the SGM-2X is a long shotgun. They sound okay. Personally I would go with the Rode NTG1 (about $250) or the Audio-Technica AT897 (about $275). Both short shotguns, they sound good and they're built fairly ruggedly.

Figure about $600 to $700 by the time you are done. You can get a "complete" kit for about $500, you'll spend another $100 to $200 on the windjammer, cables and headphones. You can make your own boompole with a painters pole or a light bulb changer. That will save you some money...

You didn't mention your budget so here's some favorites in their price ranges. Schoeps CMIT5U - about $1900 Sennheiser MKH-70 - about $1500 Sennheiser MKH-416 - about $1100 Audio-Technica AT4071A - about $650 Sennheiser ME66/K6P - about $475 Audio-Technica AT897 - about $250 Remember...

"On a budget" is a relative term. My "on a budget" audio post facility five years ago was about $20k to build the rooms and $50k for the gear. So give us an idea of your actual budget, it will help with realistic recommendations.

You are more than welcome. As an audio post engineer/sound designer I HATE working with sub-par production sound, so it's one of my missions to encourage solid production sound. "Sound is half of the experience." - Steven Spielberg When you've got that big budget keep me in mind for the audio...

What do you want to do? What is your budget? Digital or Analog?

1. The lo cut switch rolls off the bass/low end, usually at 80hz. This can be a help if you are in a windy situation or near heavy traffic. 2. A limiter puts a ceiling (a top limit, hence the term limiter) on the volume level. This is to assist in preventing volume peak overloads which...
