soundmanjohn Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Actually, not my office, but that of my friend and colleague Seb Frost, who's the sound designer for the Edinburgh Military Tattoo this year. He kindly invited me to watch the dress rehearsal of the event, which is an annual display of military bands, dancers and musicians from all over the world. He and his team have to juggle 42 wireless mics, 18 IEMs, a rock-band on a mobile rostrum, a separate rhythm section, 36 dancing fiddlers, Hakka chants, Zulu drummers, lone bagpipers, sundry other singers and instrumentalists, assorted sound effects and a commentator, live, every night for the next few weeks, from a mix position high in the specially constructed stand. The imaging and foldback problems caused both by slap-back from the castle walls and the size of the arena are countered by the use of a dynamically adjustable delay system, which they've programmed rather well, I must say. It was a chilly night, but considerably livened up by the only military steel-drum marching band in the world, that of the Trinidad & Tobago Defence Force, playing the Banana Boat Song as they marched into the arena. Oh, and a couple of fully armed Marine Commandos materializing absolutely silently from a trap-door immediately above and behind me at one point in the performance. Sorry about the picture quality - camera phones aren't great at night... Slàinte, & lang may yer lum reek! as they say in these parts.

Philip Perkins Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 A big shoutout to Colin D and (Drew, Todd and Jeff N) for a painless insert-car day. (Four-hander in the car, incl two kids.) You non-SF soundies, if you come to town and your producers are talking about hiring an insert (or arm) car tell them to call Colin Ducey! He watches out for sound! philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olle Sjostrom Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Saturday = "try to find our the best possible hidden lav rig day" So I got this tape that I think I saw in another topic, and I took a rycote undercover, wrapped the tape over it with the mic in between. I put the lab on pointing down on the chest and hid it under a pretty loose t shirt. Sounded real good! The best part is that you can just leave the rig on, never actually take the undercover off = economical. Just an idea I thought I'd share!

Fauzan Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Last month I worked on a wild rainforest exploration inspired cooking show. This was in an orphaned elephant sanctuary, the staff (and hosts) were giving the baby elephant a shower. This is Nigel Marven wrangling a mangrove snake on a boat. This was us shooting the with wild Bornean pygmy elephants in the background! Borneo is a wonderful place for the wild. I had one of my best moments in my life there, when we had our night river safari (wild animal sightings). Highly recommended if any of you end up in this part of the world. Best, F.

VASI Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Something different today. Helping my ex-professor to built his studio. Allen & Heath analog console. Damn boy, very good EQ. I hate the batch bay. I hate the batch bay. I hate the batch bay. 32 channels in and out from console, Antelope Orion, EQ, Direct Out, Compressors etc. The main room. Fantastic acoustic job from a 60 years engineer in expertise to the acoustics. The floor is on the air with vibration absorbers. Before the acoustic treatments etc all the walls was tuned the same. Fantastic engineer and character. About the Focal monitors. Man, you can't escape from these monitors. You can hear every mistake, detail.
