They recorded sound optically and most of the original sound was pretty good.the sound had less low end and was a little peaky in the upper mid-range.

Get some kind of back-up recording----if something goes wrong with cam. sound, no matter what they told you,they will not be "cool" about it-----it will be sounds fault ! J.D.

Soon, sync boxes will be expected to be provided at no extra charge. Mixers are already not charging for them so they can get the job.It was a mistake to provide them---remember, it attaches to cam. and should be provided by cam.----It.s too late now. J.D.

To the OP---- maybe you should try to work with a mixer on some low budget shoots as a boom operator-----so you can learn about sound mixing and set etiquette. J.D.

If you are going to be a sound guy, you need to buy a TC Slate. Also, it's a good idea to get a cheap "dumb" slate because nowadays the cam dept. many times forgets they should have one. The thing is that sound has been given the responsibility of sync----cam should be responsible for sync boxes on cam although a lot of sound guys have screwed this up to get rental. J.D.

Avoid the PA if possible,if not keep it low----yes,you have to ask them about using a PA, because many times they don't think of it until shoot day,then it's a pain in the ass and they will blame you [at least a little] for the delay. J.D.

Marc, In 1974 we used SMPTE TC while recording on a 16 trk 3M M56 audio recorder and a video recorder on a Frank Zappa video . It was Zappa's deal, we didn't have a clue at the time. I worked at Wally Heider's. J.D.
