renec · 2nd December 2009

I used 2 MKH40s for James Mardsen on Cats and Dogs 2:

one 12" away, and one 36" away per the voice director's request. We actually marked the floor and measured the mics before hand. No pop screens.

Sounded very good.

For video games I tend to have two AT4050s set up on a parallel plane about 6" in front of the actor with the 10db pad engaged on mic2 and one giant popscreen that covers both mics hung from a third mic stand.

Mic 1 is talking and whispers, mic 2 is yelling - matches very well.

We did Borderlands that way, as well as the last two Brothers In arms.
