What outfits would you like to see us tackle in our next lavalier episode?

Could you do a business shirt and suit jacket, no tie, and movement such as standing up from a chair, and shaking someone's hand. I get a lot of rustle when I tried attaching the lav to the shirt, and inside the collar not to mention a terrible frequency response when it was placed inside the collar.

@imark77777772 жыл бұрын
I would love to see some more like standard lapel visible stuff too (kind of some corporate conference type stuff) goes along with that suit and nicer looking clothes and then dresses. I do a live conference and every time I've clip the microphone on I've had different results some good some bad and then after lunch I move it and I get a different result. It's a challenging conference because we're actually using wires as in guest/host doesn't want things wireless for espionage and radiation. We had one guest requested a handheld microphone no wireless, turns out he also used to sing and that was his rider for that not speaking engagements lol.

It would be great so see an episode: How to match the sound from lavaliers to boom quality.
@tomlebeau79213 жыл бұрын
Roman Sapronov it’s pretty hard to match a Lav to a boom. Other than factors that you can’t help, ie capsule size... Placement is the only thing you have control of. Any placement above the mouth like the beanie position in this vid will get you a closer sound to a boom than a placement on the chest. Chest placement will pick up chest resonance and any movement of the head will change the distance and therefor the frequency response of the Lav. All things to consider.

Love this series! Had to mic up a huge woolen overcoat the other day - great to hear more techniques along these lines. And beanies are my favorite - almost always sound great and no clothing rustle.
@tomlebeau79213 жыл бұрын
Curtis Judd I always go for the hat/beanie if I can. Clothing rustle is the biggest challenge, 2nd place is getting a consistent freq response which luckily the hat/beanie position isn’t effected by either. Only issue I hiding the cable as it runs down the neck, but if you know the shot in advance, you can cheat the cable to the hidden side of the head to where the cam is facing.

Would love to hear a bit more from the talents than just a line. I often have trouble with movement/rustle noises when laving so i would love to hear how the foamies and other accessories help with that when hiding lavs. Also the Winter Jacket audio seemed a bit Muddy, how would you attack this issue in Post?
@DeityMicrophones4 жыл бұрын
The jacket would need some EQ, the highs would need to be boosted and the lows rolled off some. We wanted to present the RAW audio in each example so that you could hear what it would sound like RAW in your headphones on set, not necessarily how it would sound in post.
@RobKristjansson4 жыл бұрын
This is a great idea - maybe even if it was just a super short scene with a touch of movement
@tomlebeau79213 жыл бұрын
Movement is a constant issue with Lavs. I find it’s best to attach the mic to the material rather than the skin. So that if the mic moves, it moves with the material and only has the skin to rub up against it. Which causes less noise than the cloth

Looks all fine and well - until someone moves. The lav under the ski-jacket and under the zipper hoody look, like they would rustle like crazy. I would really love a tutorial in which the subject is doing a walk and talk afterwards or is lifting the arms or something.

I have a big question, at least it is for me. I'm starting to do production sound, and the thing is: I've heard a lot about not put the lav too close to the throat, because I've been told that it takes lots of bass sound, and lets the voice unnaturally deep. I wanted to ask if that's true or not. Beacuse I've often see people putting lavs too close, and I can't get why. I've been taught to put it between the nipples, at that height.

Martin Sampayo in an ideal world, yes. Chest hair, thick jackets etc will make you re position it from the middle of the chest. Compromise compromise .

Hats: what would be the technique attaching to the hat and not the head although I've heard that embedded in hair is also a technique used? Instead of freeform.

Okay, so I have just qued up this video, and I haven't seen it yet, but I want to pose a question about lavelier mics so sorry if you covered the answer in the video. I have been experimenting with lavelier mic systems for my channel and I have purchased three different price point systems. All three have the same problem. When they work, all work well, but they all don't usually work. I made certain to do a short test with the mics before I began my actual recordings and I have gotten mixed results with all three systems. They range in price from $30 to $140, but I mostly just find I have wasted an entire two hours of shooting. Is it me? Or is it a lavelier mic thing? Thanks in advance.

Ooo man the second one with the snow jacket sounded pretty rough
@DeityMicrophones4 жыл бұрын
We left it unprocessed. It could use some EQ and processing to make it sound as good as the others methods. We wanted the example dialogue lines to be raw audio from the mics so people could hear the honest results of each method and not get unrealistic expectations of what they would hear on set in their headphones. We totally advocate for always doing a post production audio pass on your edits, even on mics that sound amazing bc you can always do little things like De-essers and De-clickers.
