saadasound Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 I'm working on a shoot where I have to record a phone conversation between 2 people. I'll be in the room with one person and the other on the phone. I've done this before with a phone hybrid, but I don't have access to one. I was just thinking about planting a lav near the speaker and just put the call on speaker and lav the person in the room with me. Any other alternatives? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Gilbert Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 It's pretty easy, if you're using a wired landline to stick the lav wire through the coiled phone cable and micropore it to the phone handset, at the right end obviously! Done this loads of times, always works fine, the hands free thing is OK, but I prefer the other method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Tesler Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 U also can put the phone on speeker and record with boom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Sjostrom Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 If you're recording with a phone with a regular 3,5 mm tele jack you can use that as well. Unless of course you need to see the phone's empty jack. Been thinking about that recently as well... Is there a software for cell phone conversations that can record via Bluetooth? I did a show a month back with a lot of phone interviews using an iPhone or android, and we had to go for the cable solution, which had the interviewer/reporter turning the phone as far away from the camera as possible.. Not optimal. If one could just simply record the conversation through Bluetooth it would all be just dandy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Gilbert Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 The problem with most, if not all 3.5mm jack and bluetooth solutions is that they mute the audio in the phones speaker, rendering them pretty much useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we had to split the signal, one went to an earphone to the interviewer and the other to the mixer. Worked :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VM Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 And what's about the phone interferences in the cable ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Sjostrom Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 And what's about the phone interferences in the cable ? None... From my experience anyway. Sounded real clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemmerlinj Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Get a JK audio cell tap. You use 3 phones. Do a 3 way call. One phone is connected to the cell tap. Mute the tapped phone so no audio goes to the recording from the tapped phone's mic. Voila done. If you need to see the person dialing you can either have everyone on the line already and fake it or have the person call the tapped phone and then quickly add in the other person to the 3 way call.
