50% off Discount Code = SPRING50 https://thewavlab.com/shop-design/ This is a time of year when indie film cranks up with shorts and features. Prime filming in the spring/summer months with good light. We're celebrating the new with a discount on sample libraries made with indie film in mind...

Would love to hear a sample. Physics are involved in how microphones work, and the physics of sound and the way shotguns mics are made (interference tube) make your statement about how great it sounds unbelievable. Future film makers will visit this site and hope you are correct. Please...

To answer the OP title question... "Best budget mic for recording actors in the open" Definitely a shotgun for outdoor. A hyper or super cardioid for indoor. Rode NTG series are hard to beat for the price. A used older Sennheiser MKH series would be a nice step up. Newer MKH series, Sanken...

Leaving a comment with the hope it helps future efforts... A shotgun mic is a good tool in the right situation but not every situation. Would you use a screwdriver to hammer a nail? In this case, the scene would be made more difficult, if not impossible, to capture with a single shotgun. That...

This uses spacious music with "sweeteners" on top. These could be done musically with virtual instruments, or by layering other stock tracks, or by dropping common sound design effects. I hear LOTS of risers, hits, and transitions. There are probably 6 different music tracks cross-faded or...

Footnote! The new libraries are already on sale. Want to offer a coupon to Indie Talk users that will apply to our older foley and ambience collections. This will take 15% off any of the micro-libraries or the Volume 1 bundle. Coupon will work until Halloween! Expires Nov 01. Coupon = PROMO15

Hi. Frequent forum lurker. Wanted to step out and share something... We're an audio post studio with lots of indie film roots. https://thewavlab.com/ Over the years we've recorded a ton of sounds on location and in the studio. Finally packaged these into a useful set of micro-libraries and...

You're partially right... but "the theme song for any film, television show, or other broadcast or program" doesn't have anything to do with your assumption. It's fairly clear that you can't use this music for that purpose without paying for it. The sticky part, regarding film, is what...

But be careful what you're using it for... if you read his "License Agreement" there are quite a few restrictions... Here's one... 3.5 Licensed Material shall not be incorporated into a logo, corporate ID, trademark or service mark, nor used as the theme song for any film, television show...

I don't know about fresh free royalty free.... but I've heard of QualityFreeMusic.com Maybe that stuff would work well for your type of production?

***** Legal Footnote about RFM ***** To be a bit more detailed about RFM... and to help people avoid legal problems later.... Originally, traditionally, and almost without exception.... Royalty-Free was created to eliminate "Mechanical" royalties associated with licensing. Prior to RFM...

Are you this hard-headed in everything or just when you don't want to spend money? ;) My mother taught me to spell assume in the 2nd grade by saying... "Remember. When you assume something you make an ASS out of U and ME." Copyright law has nothing to do with "packaging" in regard to music...

No. More importantly... never consider using unlicensed content in anything you produce. The negatives just outweigh the positives. Public Domain: This is 75 years from the death of the writer... if a corporate entity doesn't renew the copyright. I can almost promise that a corporate...

Unfortunately a lovely title sequence doesn't mean anything in the context of a complete project. No one ever watched a movie and told all their friends... "It has the most amazing title sequence. Everything else was mediocre, but you should really spend a couple hours of your life and just...

It's DEFINITELY not the worst amateur audio I've heard. At times the ADR sounds too "close" for the shot. The ADR is dead on sometimes.... but for the most part, the actors weren't coached well and the ADR session wasn't timed/edited very well. A few shots even seem like "Bad Lip Reading"...

FilmmakerJ is speaking knowledge.... but even then... this is just tip of the iceberg. When I first read "$400/day" my face crumpled.... like a raisin. To be honest... that's the low-side of your sound mixer's rate. Your DP and Director will need at least the same amount. Running with low...

Take the setup from example one and bury yourself in a closet far from everyone else. Take extra pillows with you.... stuff some clothing into the crack at bottom of the door... make a poor kids iso booth.... then listen to your recording. Less noise?

Some of that noise is definitely environmental. I hear the noise level of the equipment, but there is something else in there that is mechanical.... like HVAC or a refrigerator in another room... or something. But... I liked both examples with the MixPreD... #1 prob was best based on a...

Yep. Sound clip would help. The *hisssssss* you describe is exactly what an air conditioner sounds like during recording. Did you shut off the AC? Could be a million other things too.... Could be preamp noise if the SDevices was cranked to max.

Unless you plan to be a composer.... creating music that works with spoken dialog is what a composer is supposed to do. You would write the dialog/lyrics with the composer's assistance. Then they would create the music. You would have the actors say their lines in a studio and lay it into the...
