That wasn't a bad review until he said "there's a great limiter on here that can be used to remove some background noise". :bang: Edit: found this review and comparison between the H6 and H4n. The h6 seems to be cleaner and have quite a bit more gain on the preamps which is great for everyone...

Perhaps you're not using it correctly or you have bad technique but a Deadcat and blimp should really reduce wind noise even on pretty moderate wind speeds. Try different positions, try facing it with the wind direction, give the Deadcat a brush against the fur (more surface area, greater wind...

I'll chime in here and say doing Foley work outside of a studio is hard to get usable audio but it can be done. I recently needed some audio of walking and running on a metal grating type floor but I had no way to do this in my home studio. To the woods we went, there was a metallic flooring...

I'm having the same problem on my iPad, very odd. Perhaps something to do with Google's DNS servers being down?

Hi all. I'm looking for some work on small projects as a sound designer/editor/mixer I've 5+ years experience in audio (mainly music production and live music), trying to get more experience in audio post. Would be willing to work for free as long as I'm credited. Contact me by email if...

You always want to monitor what you're recording through headphones. You can hear if there's any problems and how the mic is sounding in whatever position you have it in. You especially want to monitor if you're gonna be booming.

Oh wow thanks! :D Yeah I suppose there could of been more body to that sound. Well every sound apart from the footsteps was just from around my house. The large machine type sound was a mixture of power tools that had been pitched differently. The monster noises are all vocal so screams/growls...

It'll likely be an improvement on the H4n but I reckon the preamps are still going to be pretty poor, also not so sure about the interchangeable mics nice idea though.

I spent the past few weeks doing a redesign of the entire sound for this short film based on the Dead Space game. I set myself the challenge of making every sound entirely from scratch, so not a single sound is taken from a sample library. Some of the sounds in it leave alot to be desired. For...

I know this is a bit of a longshot but I thought I'd post on here anwyay to see if anyone is near me/interested. Looking for some indie/student films in and around Belfast/N.Ireland that are in need of a sound recordist. Willing to work for free, have own small 2 track recording kit...

Rode NTG2 is a good mic that you could position just outside the frame. Alternatively wire him up with two Lavs, one in the normal position and then another where he'll be moving his head to.
