They're good, but not cheap.
An alternative Ive used for repairs (Not for ADAT though) is

Assume he meant 2.0!!
You stems are the norm.
Mix to stems, then comp your stems to a mix.
Stems and mix are on record tracks.

I always get phase issues between LAV and BOOM
I use Auto Align Post from Sound Radix.
Now I can mic the LAV and BOOM to create a fuller sound.
Always use a separate track for LAV and BOOM, NEVER mix them.
-
MS folds down to mono with the least phase issues. (IMO)
-
Source Connect is the one to use!!

Its been 20 odd years since Ive seen Doug Nelson.
Doug is a production mixer, that mixed post on his shows, amongst others.
I learned a lot from Doug, as his A2 in post.
Trying to find a way to reach him.

Seems this forum gets a lot of successful people selling their kits.

Star quad cables, jumper pin 1 to XLR shells on both ends.
Some might say this creates a ground loop, but that is only on the case of equipment to equipment.
It doesnt apply to microphones.
Ive been doing my own like this for years.
Label the cables as MIC ON:Y

If pitch shifting and slowing down, best to record in mono, and upmix after processing.
You will get phase issues doing multi channel pitch and speed.
If slowing down, best to record and sow down in 32 bit, or if you're 24 bit max, then 96K sampling.

Im now immunocompromised to to medications,
I have been wearing these in public, and have total confidence.
Not cheap, but not fakes.

This seems more punitive than preventive. If they actually wanted to stop COVID on the set, they'd have someone on set making sure people are wearing masks properly rather than weeks later trying to see who gets detention.
Hadn't encountered this until I shot in Texas and encountered two crew members like this. Both were proud that they had never taken a COVID test nor been vaccinated. They also believed that it was some sort of government conspiracy but I didn't ask for further clarification given you can't reason with crazy people. I was amused that both were worried about the COVID vaccine "damaging their bodies" while both were chain smokers.
Texas!!!

The ATT wireless shown was a go to here in LA, every store I had one as early as 1986!!!

I'm prepping for a movie and one of the characters spends a lot of time talking on the phone. Before I talk to props does anyone have any tips on hiding a mic and transmitter in one and placing the mic? The film takes place in the early 90's so it would be one of those bulky cordless phones. There should be some space for hiding.
If its a Motorola "Brick" you should be able to gut it and drop in a TX.
Not sure about the cordless house phone.
Funny I owned both in 1992!!

The last time I went to an audiologist I got into a debate when they told me no one can ever hear above 20K ever. They couldn't fathom the idea that 20Hz - 20Khz is a rounded average of the human hearing spectrum and not some magical physical hard cut off. When I was a teenager I tested my hearing with precise equipment and was able to discern frequencies just over 23K. Doubt I can do that anymore
I would also argue that we probably can't really "hear" 20Hz, although we can experience it. I know I can't discern a "tone" that low.
I get into heated debates with my audiologist too!!
Unfortunately, it's my daughter.
I think they brainwash them in Med School.

I had purchased Halo UpMix after a lot of thinking it thru for my workflow and it seems to work great so far for my purposes - but with some music I tried a combo move of izotope music rebalance and Halo and the results have been really good for a little more separation
If it works, thats great!! Do a mix down of the surround to male sure no phase issues were induced.

All the audiologists usually care about (and get paid by insurance for) is measuring freqs in what we would call the "voice range". In other words, can you understand what is being said to you. They could generally care less about your perception and enjoyment of music and non-speech audio. A few have been willing to discuss this with me over the years, but their equipment and approved procedures are locked into the speech band, period. For several years I had an (elderly) ENT doc whose very analog (hand drawn) charts gave me useful info outside the speech range, but he warned me not to take the accuracy of that info too seriously, re: their test procedures and gear (pretty lo-fi headphones...). The younger docs are all digital.
I found couple out in the LA area that do understand, and will do an audiogram from 20 to 20k.
Not cheap.
But one made me -20 earplugs custom molded past the ear canal curve. Creating a true flat response. Same as IEMs
Not cheap either.

The human voice has harmonics! Duh! That doctor didn't know what he was talking about!
I don't get this comment about psychoacoustics though, would you care to elaborate? My understanding is pretty small, and only relates to that Fletcher-Munson curve stuff. I LOVE learning about that stuff though. I'd love to go back to school for audiology or acoustician pursuits.
Theres something about audiologists, they have this pounded in their brain in School. They refuse to test over 8k
No use going to audiology school. Their primary job is to test, and determine if hearing loss is medical, in which the refer to ENT MD, or noise induced, old age, in which they sell you a hearing aid.
I know, I paid for my daughters audiology education!!
21 hours ago, Izen Ears said:It all began when I started to think about what causes a mic to sound buried. Thick clothing kills the high freqs but allows the bass freqs to pass through. Do reflections act the same way? If a loud noise that has a full freq range slaps off a wall, is it only the upper freqs that are reflected because the bass freqs went right through? Can post later just dig up those missing high freqs and "unbury" dialog? I guess if the high freqs are not passing through the clothing, they won't reach the mic and can't be recorded.
All frequencies reflect off a wall, they come back at different times; the distance determines if the reflected sound gets cancelled to doubled in the mic.
We can not dig up "missing high frequencies" we can dig out a little if they are there.

Upmix from stereo libraries!!

I know for a fact Markertek ships internationally.
OOPS, They're out of stock sorry.

On the reality side of Survivor USA there are no lavs. Everything is boomed with an MKH70 on a long pole. This gives us the ability to capture dialogue and never have to interact with the contestants. It's physically demanding but works well. Everything you see that is at a Tribe Camp is boom only.
Well, that probably answers my question about "Naked and Afraid" !!

Also, if I'm not mistaken, each successive low cut further shaves off the remaining low-end, resulting in more of a drop-off of those frequencies, at least up to a certain point.
A low cut is just that, cut.
If you use 80Hz 12dB per octave on the mic, and the same on the input stage, its just redundant. Not additive.
-
Hence the reason the B3s are upside down. TO drain off.
I had a show where they were not, and you can tell (hear) water pooled in the capsule area.

Yes, but Penteo does a better job with music than Halo.
Otherwise they all work the same way with ambience.

My MINI has 11 speakers, they are not mini speakers!!🤣
