  1. What Petrol bag would you suggest for this recorder, as it is a bit chunky....
  2. Sorry, I'm still learning and didn't want to bother anyone with so many questions. I just wanted to have a general discussion, that's all. I'll go and read books then...
  3. I just realized that the yearly films in 90s and before that sound & video would be recorded on tapes as then there were no digital recorders, right. So the sound would be definitely different maybe even more natural/raw, compare to what we hear now and probably with low bit rate as well... For example lets say Reservoir Dogs (1992) and with other lower budget movies would be a good example for comparison. In those days, what gear did they use, the same mics with tape recorders/analogue? Did they also used 5-10 mics for different purposes or was it all done with one mic/416? -- I'm asking these questions as it is good to know the history as well
  4. Thank you, he also on his site got some great educational videos http://www.dplay.com/aes/film1.html
  5. Just came across an old french film Le Professionnel (1981), sounded very natural and raw to my ears. I guess that time there were no proper sound equipment...
  6. at the end, can you tell much difference between lavs and 641's? what lavs are you using? and I presume that all that plugged into sound devices, right?
  7. Thanks David looks already very informative, good stuff.
  8. Thanks for the CAS, looks already good to me! http://cinemaaudiosociety.org http://cinemaaudiosociety.org/?page_id=16 http://issuu.com/casociety/docs/3368_casq_winter_2013?mode=window http://www.audiomedia.com/miscellaneous/0014/about-audio-media/40 Do they sell these magazines in shops or it goes to libraries only and online subscription ?
  9. Can some one give a movie with bad sound and bad mixing and a good one to compare both?
  10. Right now it is educational and building up knowledge and confidence for future projects. When I came across your website I felt it is like a place for "an experienced old dogs" who been involved in cinema sound productions. And I could no find anything better. So I felt it is a good place to learn from the best. Right now I'm not involved in any projects but I'm planning, once I have enough information of doing it in right way.
  11. Is there a magazine for a cinema sound people, like "American Cinematographer" where they talk about mixing and sound equipment been used on sets? Does it really then matter all that much, if they can bring any kind of mic to be sound alike? From my understanding, they can make Rode ntg-3 to be sound the same as MKH-50, Schoeps 641 or Sanken CS-3E, and nobody will tell the difference at the end, and same will go for lav and a shotgun, right. All mics from above are good but the difference between all them are 5 to 10 percent. Or do I miss something? I've heard that on 60 minutes they tend to use only lavs instead of shotguns, do they process that sound in anyway or the audience hear the raw sound? And what audio tools are out there, as far as I know there from AVID, Adobe and Apple I don't think there is anything else. There probably some kind of "sound color presets" in Adobe Audition for example, similar used for video digital picture/color styles to emulate a film look...
  12. Ok... once I got sound from lets say MKH-50, is there some way to improve the raw sound to something better in Adobe Audition 6 for example to achieve that Hollywood sound without going to a professional studio? Or there are no shortcuts and I still going to end up with documentary/reality show sound.
  13. I'm talking about cinema in general as a main source Another thing, I noticed In Indian (Bollywood) movies I can hear that most of the sound is recorded from the studio, the sound been dubbed or you call it ADR some sort. But I heard that in America they are trying to use sound from the film set in general. Is it a true statement?
