Hi all, I'm new here, but I've gone the distance...I will be posting regular soon! Promise!
I've just purchased new everything (everything!....being delivered end of July 2013), after 10 years outta the game...but I'm wondering?
What lav tape are you all using. I just bought some, and it sucks...loses its stickiness after 10 minutes.
I frankly forget what I used 10 years ago.....probably gaffer, FFS!
I should add, I'm not on the road yet, just field testing!
It's a soft medical tape, that sadly, sounds fantastic ie. using nothing but the tape I hear little clothing and a lotta voice.
Obviously I can't have the talent lose their lavs, and I can't use gaffa, cos it shows. I remember!
What tape SOUNDS great, HIDES well, STICKS like a limpet, and gets the job done without too much mucking around....obviously I'm talking ideal conditions. I understand things get progressively complicated from the ideal starting point!
Is there a new tape in the last 10 years that ticks these boxes? Clearly I'm talking hidden lavs!
Cheers boyz!
