Hi Guys,
Okay I'm just wondering if any of you more experienced sound guys can tell me how much I can do in post with regard to fitering out unwanted background doise and and what I can do with effects. I've just done another test with one of my g2 evolution wireless setups and the mics are picking up a fair bit of ambient noise. I'm not sure if I'm useing them to there optimum capacity. I think I may have them running too sensitively? However, I have the sensitivity on the transmitter set to -30db which is the lowest for that unit I believe. I have the reciever on camera going into one of the XLR inputs. I have the camera set to auto level. I could turn it down in manual mode but it then sounds to soft comapared to the amount of ambient sound that it cuts out. I also have the Me2 mics with this set which I think is the less directional of the two options that come with this kit, the other being the Me4. Maybe I need a better or different mic. Finally, if I can't get another mic I'm just wondering how much I can do with these issues in post with (a) a standard NLE like pp1.5 and (b) with other seperate sound packages like Pro Tools, Adobe Audition or Sonic Foundary (Ithink that's the sony one but I could be wrong). My main concern is that for my upcoming project I will be out on location and I'm now wondering if I'm goinjg to pick up the voices of passers by with this kit whilst I'm trying to record actors dialogue. Sorry it's such a long post but I would greatly appretiate any input.
Regards Greg C
P.S. Ty Ford, I had a look on your site earlier. In the past I've had trouble viewing stuff but it seemed to work okay today. Just wanted to say that's a great sight with some really interesting stuff (that's for if you've read this of course)
Thanks again Guys
