  1. Hey all, I've been wondering how you all record and/or mix the wide shot. Normally I had done it with a combo of COS 11s and Schoeps MK 41. However, recently I've gotten a Sanken CS3e and it has some interesting properties that sort of "change" the game, so to speak. The main property I speak of is its strange bit of reach. It seems to sound good enough that I would figure we would not even need lavaliers in post. It kind of eliminates the need for my COS-11s as the main microphones in many wider shots. However! If I A/B the two microphones I almost always use the Schoeps. It just makes the ambience of the room sound better. On the other hand, doesn't that mean that post would have to mix in the (sometimes) scratchy, but always strange-sounding lavaliers into the mix for treble/intelligibility? But according to many sound books, of course, the boom microphone is supposed to be the primary microphone. That makes me think I should use a CS3e since it sounds so good as boom from farther away. However, I would say that the Schoeps' ambience pick-up sounds better and would be a better choice to mix in with the lavaliers. What I really want to know is if I should use a CS3e all the time. Or should I use it only for wider shots? Use Schoeps for tighter shots? Should I use both? Leave Schoeps on a mike stand for ambience and boom the actors with the CS3e? Or is the Schoeps the way to go all the time (except for noisy locations)? Thoughts? I've looked through the forums and have seen partial answers to some of these questions, but I don't think anyone's ever asked this directly. All the best, Sawrab
