recording sound
Posted: Mon Aug 09, 2004 9:19 pm
Hi Guys, I know sound is a science all of its own and I don't really want
to go really deep into it because one I have not got the dosh to go out and
purchase elaborate microphones and the problem I have only happens now and
again. I have been asked to film a friends wedding and it is bothering me
that I will be on a pod possibly 8/9 metres from the speeches which is obviously
going to effect the sound quality. In the past I have used my spare dv camcorder
which I have just left on the top table recording and just use the sound
and not the video at the editing stage....It works ok but I was curious if
someone knows a better way, I keep hearing about people using mini disc players
but unless you use a top expensive mic plugged into the player I can't really
see the sound quality from the mini disc's own mic being better than my dv
camcorder stereo mics. Also mini disc players don't have a USB lead so how
do you get it onto a premiere timeline for editing ??
I would appreciate any suggestions and would love to know how other film
makers would get around it
