You sound ridiculous Mirror. I agree with Constantin. You can't just put egg cartons on a wall and say that'll work. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Mirror, how is anyone supposed to just know this answer. I know what to do for a studio and live production but film is DRASTICALLY different since your location ALWAYS changes. You're constantly moving along with scenes vs everything being permanently installed. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk Wow you guys were really helpful! I really appreciate your ideas and will be open to all of them. Also I'll be able to watch the video tomorrow and see if I can spot out those flaws! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Can you guys tell me what's the difference? I understand there is a science within the blankets but DIY sounds like a better idea....financially. we can get away with a few things especially if we are talking about recording voices in an empty room carpet or non carpet. You know, just something for the exposed walls. What do you guys think and do. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Well I've actually used the device before and the 1/4 sounds so bad in comparison to the point I wonder why they made it. But it could have been just that device perhaps. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

H4n 1/4 jack is not the way to go for good audio at all. Xlr input will be better but that device sucks in general. H/6 has better preamp but still not where you need to be audio wise. It's like saying instead of getting mcdonalds, go to steak and shake Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Is anyone on Oz publishing? It supposed to be a directory for crew etc. If so, can you guys tell me your thoughts and how you feel about it. Thanks. Ozonline.tv is the site Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Ok, great! Thanks for letting me know. And yeah that's very true! I usual do live corporate gigs but its very slow right now! So the hunt is real. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Wow. I heard about those types of boom ops that make that money. Man. I wonder what it took to get to that status and folks say, cool come on in Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk They probably got like 4 different mics minimum or something Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Hey guys! Just want to know the general ball park range on what an op should charge for comercials and such. Hourly/daily etc. Just want to make sure I'm on the same page. Lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Ok, cool. Well Ive borrowed the rode V2 blimp. I heard from others that also had a more expensive nonprosumer blimp had some of the same results idealy. Forgot which one it was but it was insanely expensive. That's what I remember. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Hello everyone! I just want to get a few things cleared up. When I use a softie, I use it for regular day weather. Little winds here and there but it's practically a the best ideal day for recording anything. Now when I'm ready to use a blimp, I'm most likely to be in a moving car with windows down or on a beach or some type of harsh environment when the wind is going against me. Now here is the question of the day, I know that regular foam is able to block 9mph wind. A softie by rycote I forgot and a blimp I'm just not sure. The reason why I ask is because I see many people just going with the blimp at all times but to me I try to ONLY USE IT IF I HAVE TO! why? Because I hate the closed in sound of the capsule. Is like the sound is trapped inside and can't get out unlike the softie which is transparent sounding but gets the job well done. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Question, what mph wind do you guys think is best to use a windshield such as a softie vs a dead cat/blimp. I tend to use regular softie for outdoors and blimp for moving cars, beach and stuff. I hate the sound of the inside of the blimp. Its definitely a use it if you really have to type thing. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Hello everyone! I'm Nattalie from ATL and I have my own boom kit! Please let me know if any mixers are looking for someone to help with non union gigs. Thanks. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

That's cool. So is this union or non union? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

So, as far as mixers picking out boom ops, what is it that Mixers expect or look out for. For example, When I call production managers for any upcoming work, they tell me that they let there sound mixers pick out the boom ops. I have seen bad boomers before but how do you get that chance with mixers you've never worked with before. I guess one thing is showing them your reel if they feel like watching lol. What else? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Yeah man! I just moved here about a year ago and it's definitely different Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Hey guys, just watching the games and was talking to a camera op saying folks don't get paid anything worth while for working in these 3rd world countries. Have you guys heard anything? You'd think it would be union or something so you can be guaranteed something lol. Man! I don't think I'd go outside the states into a 3rd world country as a freelancer. What do you all know and think? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Wow guys! Thanks for all the advice! I guess I've decided to rent whatever is needed and make sure I really study the gear well enough to not get screwed on a gig. I'm new in the film world but not in audio production in general so I THINK I'll be fine for now. My only thing I'm worried about is when I get a gig, will there be gear to rent in the amount of time given before the gig. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Hello everyone! Im from ATL and It's my first time posting here but I've read a lot of everyone's advice over time! I'm new to the film world and coming from corporate production so ease up on me. Lol. I've been boom operating for a while now on Indie shorts and want to get into location mixing. I've been struggling with my thoughts on what to buy. I was trying to get the 552 sound device used but was advised not to by trew audio. They told me to get the zoom F8 because if anything happens to the 552, I can't get it fixed easily because it's out of date. They also said something about the recorder not being a full recorder like the 633. So when i talk to other mixers, they say when they aren't working, they are lending out there gear for rent and no one would rent a zoom in the field. HE'S RIGHT. I talked to another person that's really big in the industry and he said he wouldn't hire a person with a zoom. So I decided to just let my thoughts go on the device and start focusing on wireless Mics because right now I can't afford a to make the wrong decision. I need what ever that makes money. Also, would you guys trust to buy a mixer on Ebay? And if the price is too good to be true Ya know? I don't know what too good to be true is. Also, would you guys buy rode wireless Mics for documentary gigs, comercials and interviews? I understand lectrosonic is the standard but I don't have it like that right now. I really likely the rode wireless and didn't hear a big difference than the sennheiser G3 sound wise(on the net, not in person) thanks guys! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
