John Blankenship Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 The quieter person would get delayed, or split the difference. Might take some tweaking and adjusting. as long as it's close enough to get rid of the annoying part of the phasing. The high frequencies will be effected first, so as long as you can get enough "spectral headroom" above the frequencies of the dialog, you're good. Not really a math question. So, now you have the issue that the direct, and most important, sound for each mic is offset by 9ms. I'm guessing post would much prefer for us to have left the delay alone rather than screw with what they know as standard delivery. But, they're working without the benefit of your schooling them on what a professional is. If only everybody would listen. "Spectral Headroom" -- good name for a band (or perhaps it's Max's brother).

What happens if the performance changes on take three, after your tweaking? What if the editor wants to cut takes one and three together after you have made your adjustments? What happens if you're "still rolling" and the director changes the action so the distance changes? Easy for the focus puller, not so easy for you to recalculate and dial in or out your delay mid-take. Some things are better left to post, in both my opinion and my experience.
