jozzafunk Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Doing corporate IV's today - The client has their heart set on the large foyer of a big government department of a big open plan building - I'm kicking myself for not bringing the CS3e, he notices me screwing my face up and carrying on and says "don't worry, I'm always torturing soundies" Not sure if it made me feel better of not ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWilson Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Does he have a wall at home full of pictures of these tortured people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWsoundservice Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Or the heads of all the mixers he has tortured, mounted on his wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Break out the wireless! Or embrace the reverb/echo and accept it as part of the sound! (There are always the un-reverb processes available within Unveil and iZotope RX3, which work somewhat.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jozzafunk Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Oh yeah - wire and boom, once I knew he was well aware I was 'sweet as', his call - The acoustics weren't actually that bad, it was the rattly automatic doors opening and closing every 30 seconds, receptionists and public, and 8 floors of large open plan offices' opening onto the foyer/atrium that were the issue ( including people scraping metals desks over giant cheese graters ( or so it sounded like ) and I think there was someone beating a bag of cats with a stick at some point ) I've been using RX3 adv lately - thing of beauty My grimaces did help tho and we moved from 'sweaty fever nightmare' spot to 'just a bit horrible' spot, SFN spot wasn't great for camera either.

They have noise problems like that in a city as beautiful as Wellington? I thought only LA was cursed with locations that bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pindrop Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 As Marc says use wireless to get over those problems end of story mike Not quite, I've had significantly better results than I could achieve with the wireless I was using simultaneously on many occasions using a Super CMIT, both for reducing background noise, and reducing reverb, plus just sounding better anyway.
