Hi guys, the noobs back for more!
Well, so like I said we started and today was the first day for the "trial shoots" which will run all week until we all get our things together and ppl practice their roles, which is exactly what I need, time!
We have decided to stick to 2 shotguns and recording on to my laptop with my 003, simple and efficient. We have tested the possibility of using some lav's but the noise was so incredible that we gave right up. I think they have very cheap lav's because they were brand new in the package, or maybe it was me. However the boom ppl who will be hired soon might come with better mics. BUT I will take note of the person who suggested hiding some mics around the room and have started a search for appropriate mics for the job as I still feel I should have more material in my hand, as opposed to just 2 shotgun tracks.
So for the moment, I opened an Aux for each mic which are routed to an Audio track each through Busses, I also have a Limiter added to each Aux track. Someone mentioned here earlier on that I should try and aim for a signal that is somewhere in between -6 and -10, so that is what I have tried to do, to be honest, any higher and it starts sounding bad anyways, not sure if its my setup/settings, or the mics, but that's whats going on.
So please feel free to step in and tell me that I am doing everything wrong :P or if there is anything else I should be looking out for.
ps, I use iZotope Alloy for limiting and the shotgun is a Senheiser M67 I believe. I have also figured out that if I rename the audio tracks at the beginning of each scene, the audio files get named accordingly for each take, sweet!
