newzhack Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 How many mixers actually try to mix their content? Over and over I have been told to just put the lavs on one track and the boom on the other. I would love to hear from those in Post Production too.

syncsound Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 I mix to mono (with pre-fader iso's) until directed otherwise. My philosophy is to give them what they ask for, so long as it isn't unduly burdensome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 It depends on what sort of production you are recording. For movies, as above (mono + PF isos). For smaller corpo and docs, as the OP said, unless their peeps want something else. On the latter sorts of productions often there is no or minimal audio post, so a little flexibility but not a lot (ie split boom.lav mix) is appreciated. This is especially true if your production wants 2 hifi tracks sent to the camera(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haifai Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 In post i avoid to work with mix tracks, only isos... if i do location recording, most of the companies i work for dont ask for a mix, its realy rar. i do mainly documentaries for tv and cinema.
