This is a totally basic question but I have been struggling with this for some time so I thought I'd ask people who are smarter than me.
I have COS11Ds and B6's as my lav mics.
I CONSTANTLY struggle with fabric rustling/rub noise both direct, secondary and sometimes even tertiary. I've tried numerous techniques; often to no avail
Some things that seem to work (at least some of the time):
Placing outside shirt on a clip.
B6 above the button hole sometimes helps as long as the shirt's not too starched, etc...
Doing a football of gaff tape and keeping the mic anchored to shirt and/or chest sometimes works.
Things that never seem to work:
Taping inside shirt when person is extremely hairy.
Taping directly to skin.
Rough Scratchy fabrics
Heavily starched clothing.
They're wearing multiple layers of clothes (or an ascot even).
So here's my question:
What tried and true methods have you perfected that always seem to work?
Also, under what circumstances would you use this method?
In the off chance that you have pictures of these techniques could I see what you're doing so I can mimic it myself?
Thanks for ANY AND ALL HELP! Your guidance(s) is greatly appreciated!!!
