Thank you! Thank you. I'll get to reading :)

I bought the book just today. I like owning a hard copy. I never really mark books but I plan to start doing that. And I can always read passages again in the future. Just recently started considering installing a book shelf. Books can be really great. They allow you to learn the stuff people...

Hahaha, time flies! I guess I'll watch some more reviews to see if I can find some good price/quality-efficient items. But first I'll buy the book and then get a headset so I can actually judge audio recordings a bit better. So in big vendors you mean companies that will always allow you to...

Alcove Audio Sorry, I understand now. May I ask how you ''discovered' the Shure SM-58? (e.g. recommendation) Buscando Thank you, Buscando. They were gaming/comedy videos. And some memes. Quite silly, but it's good to have a laugh sometimes. Until around 2 years back I always had the idea...

Thanks for all the replies. If I don't agree with you, don't take it personally. I just don't get what you're trying to say or I've found the opposite to be true from my personal experience. Directorik You ''learned to guide the people''. So you learned on set. Or from books. Or from your...

Of course I would be open to changing my style. Doesn't mean I should be bad at it to force a certain style upon me. Also, I'd be wise to be able to instruct when your people are inexperienced. When they're not you I will just say what my vision is and we can discuss like normally. No point in...

Sweetie Right. I'll buy and read the book. Then once I start my next project, which will include dialogue, I will buy the equipment necessary and be more knowledgeable from the start. I don't agree with the analogy. I don't need to be a master, but I need to have at least touched sound...

Thanks for the continued discussion. Enjoying it! Sweetie Okay, so I shouldn't worry about it as much. I need to know how it all works. Or at least the very basics. How else will I effectively guide people towards creating the thing I need? Also, it's not all that easy to find filmmakers...

In which situation would it not be important, though? I mean consistency as in that when you record the same sound twice with the same settings, that you pretty much get the same recording. That is true. Thankfully I don't need to master it unless I exclusively want to be in sound. I would...

Thank you for joining the discussion. I'll certainly try to post something on the free ads billboard at my local supermarket and on fora online.

Thank you very much. Watched the first video and I'm already inspired (and scared). I think that's a good thing. Thanks. And that's a good joke. Chuckled me up. May just use it in one of the pukey movies, or on a movie on movies, which every filmmaker seems to do at some point.

Acoustic AI I'll get one or two friends to help me out behind the camera. (Hopefully someone is interested :lol:) Even if they have no experience at all, I do agree with you that's its better to have a regular setup so it's not as clumsy. And while filming your friends will get better too...

I'll take your advice and see how I can improve. Currently using a Nikon D3100 camera. Got the camera from someone passing away in the family, sadly. It rebooted my interest in filmmaking though. I didn't own a camera outside of a webcam and phone before and never really bothered. So far I've...

Interesting. I wasn't sure on how to do those type of shots. So you would, in most cases, record the dialogue from really wide shots on location after the take or maybe in post. And let's say it's a normal conversation (no dreamy/nightmare theme or anything) you would just make the sounds a bit...

Thanks for that advice. Really gives me a bit more of a clear idea in what I need to use in the situation. Will also read that book where I should find more of this type of information. I'll see what I can do as an 18 year old with little to no experience and not living around Amsterdam ;) I...

Interesting that you changed your gear around the one mic so much. And also that it worked in many combinations. Isn't it that each audio recorder has it's own sound, even when the source is from a XLR cable mic? I know it's true for 3.5 plugs with the so called preamps. And you probably forgot...

I'll give my thoughts on everything said in this long post. No offense, I would just like to develop myself and have a healthy discussion. ---------------------- Alcove Audio - As long as it's not constant (which it clearly isn't or they're all unusable for even simple home video) I'm okay...

Thank you Alcove Audio, Buscando, Indietalk & Directorik. Really appreciate your time and effort in responding to this beginner filmmaker. I now have a great many questions and am very much wondering how much incorrect information on audio (and anything else for that matter) I've received in...

Thank you very much for the detailed response. It has given me new insights, but with that a few new questions. What problems do low-priced microphones really have? In other words, on what grounds do you judge audio as bad? Is it noise? A weak bass? What is it that most bothers you personally...

Situation: I'm having a hard time choosing my device(s) to record audio. There are a lot of options. Needs: Recording dialogue (from whispers to screaming), ambient sounds (like a forest bird orchestra) and sound effects (footsteps). The audio needs to be good enough to not distract from the...
