Sealed? SENNHEISER HD300 PRO Open? SENNHEISER HD600 I use these to mix at night at home. TV and Music They translate very well to my JBL LSR 708s

But the reverb must be humongous

Longevity is key. We have established that with name brands.

Adding to Constantin correct statement: Speed/velocity and stability is established via clock. (AES/Video) Time code is positional reference only.

Buy an SM57, same as a SM58 The SM 58 is an SM57 with a 565 grill on it.

Not me obviously!! I like Watsons https://www.watsonwu.com

I have to ask: Where will you place the lavs??😦

Turn off the channels inputs in the Mixassist window. Inputs/second page/mixassist Took a while to figure out its the headphone encoder that cycles and toggles through the Mixassist menu.

I use Sonarworks strictly for headphones when I need to kill the speakers in the middle of the night!! Its close enough.

No offense to Jay (Im sorry, I haven't read your book) Jim Purcell's book has a chapter dedicated to room tone, very good read. I have all my assistants read that before they even start working.

Isn't that Pretty much what I said!!

It is!! DF, was for timing accuracy in longer shows. No one cared about doing DF for a commercial. Was told that over 30 years ago. 23.98 shows are still timed with a DF ruler today!! They are shot edited, and broadcast 23.98 but measured with 29.97DF Thats a fact I witness daily.

Dialog Match helps. Also using Proximity EQ+ with Dialog Match will help a lav to match a boom.

Never said to use EQ, but the choice of headphones. 7506s tell you that it sounds fine, in reality, it doesn't. An accurate set of HFs will tell you to readjust your lav. My point was that the PSM did not know the 7506s were translating incorrectly.

Rick Marotta, drummer, human metronome!! Played for Steely Dan. Wendel could not "humanize" they always went back to real drummers. This is not an insult to Roger, he was one of the greats I had a chance to meet. He has told me so many Steely Dan session and road stories, I could write a book, but leaving it to him!!

They lie, they tell you your dialog is nice and bright!! I had to prove to a production mixer his lavs are buried too deep. He thought they sounded prefect. Until I brought him in the studio, and played back his tracks. First through his 7506s, he said yup thats good, but then through my JBL 7508 Monitors, it showed the low mid he dint hear. If you like Sony, move to a 7509, or better yet the Sennheiser HD280Pro. We now return you to your scheduled foruming!!

Izotope is terrible as a de-hum filter. Fabfilter is pretty much the best EQ out there. Anything under 80 in dialog is wasted, and unused. How can you properly listen to dialog nuances in the field without a high pass!! Oh yeah, those 7506s don't reflect low end and hype the high freq.

Ill still cut i off at 80 or above!! In todays world, theres always hum at 60....and 120...and 240!!

Being a post guy, in my opinion, the 416 outshines the 435, but the 435 might do better in a tight room. I agree with the comments on the 40 and 50, too much low cut. I always tell my production guys 80 only.

Like the director saying "Lets shoot a romantic conversation scene against a fountain, cause its pretty"

There is! Research Protools field recorder workflow Ive done it successfully. Too much to write here!!

Wasn't directed at you!!!

Seems like neither one of you has been in a post house!! The housekeeping done by AEs _is_ rocket science!!

Oh, Im going to regret this!! 10 days, no update!!

This is a very common occurrence in ANY CF based recorder. The time code skips a frame at every file break. Yes, a file break occurs every XX minutes during a long record. We in post are used to it. I do a show that has Police body cams, GoPro cams in cars etc. It sets me back no more than 15 minutes in any given show. I look at the TOD on the file, and calculate how many frames based on time X 12 or 15 minutes depending on the recorder. Never more than 3 frames, as no one ever shoots longer than 30 to 45 minutes. A stop and start resets the time code.
