QUICK TIP FOR QUALITY POST-PRODUCTION AUDIO: Pick The Best Mic For Each Shot
QUICK TIP FOR QUALITY POST-PRODUCTION AUDIO:
Pick The Best Mic For Each Shot
By: Micheal French
There are plenty of factors that determine the class of your audio production, but one sound quality-increasing tip that will put you at an advantage in post is “Don’t tie yourself to one mic.” Using multiple types of mics on set for each shot maximizes your ability to capture the best sound. In post, when you hear a problem through your intended mic, you will then have the ability to check other audio sources for another option. Your boom mic (whether it be directional, omnidirectional, or another based on that scene’s main audio needs) may work best for overall sound capture in that scene, but you may find that a particular element took better through another mic, such as the lavalier you tacked to your actor.
The sound from two different mics likely won’t match up perfectly, but that is what EQ and a good Re-Recording Mixer are for.
