So, I now have the Deity Connect Interview Kit (HD-TX USA model, BP-TX, DUO-RX) and two pocket wireless. Usually we have a 2-lav setup, but I bought the extra Pocket Wireless mics so that we can add an extra person or two into a scene. How do I run this and ensuring the four transmitters are not interfering with each other, or cluttering up a transmission channel? We are running boom mic into the Zoom F6 port 1, the Duo-RX, goes into 2 and 3, and the pocket wireless transmitters go into 4 and 5, and we mix audio with the FRC-8 F-Control. But I am wondering with 4 transmitters are these ever going to create interference with each other, and if so, what can I do to make sure these are not fighting with each other?
Nice video! I like the details about organizing your stuff. This is often forgotten, although it's mandatory for efficiency in the editing. Also, great visualisation and video structure. I'd like to add some points though, from my experience of sound mixer and boom operator for many years: 1. Always use headphones when booming! In your video the boom operator has no headphones. That would be an absolute no-go for me. It's the sound mixer's job to deliver a monitor signal for the boom operator. It's so crucial to judge the audio by your ears, not only your eyes. Otherwise, it'll be like operating your camera without a viewfinder, just by guessing your framing by camera angle and focal length. Many mixers offer an aux output to create an additional output with only the boom mic routed. If you don't have to pass the audio over to the camera, you can try to use the mixer's main outputs. If you have the equipment, you can build a smart solution with wireless systems. There are special monitoring wireless systems available, with convenient features like a volume adjustment knob on the receiver. But also some standard lav-system can be reused for that purpose. 2. Speaking of volume adjustments: I'd always recommend to set your headphone volume once with a appropriate level and don't touch it then. Especially not during a recording. Wear closed-back headphones to isolate you from the rest of the set. If you adjust the headphone volume, you lose your reference for the correct levels and have to rely solely on the meters. Of course the meters are necessary to use but at the end, your ears are the most effective analysing tool for quick adjustments. 3. Learn the script! If you do scripted work with multiple talents involved, the boom operator should always know who says which text. If you don't that sooner or later, you'll miss half a line, since you haven't adjusted the mic's position. Preferable, you even know already the acting. If your talent is supposed to stand up in the middle of a scene and you're not prepared, you could hit it with your mic or you may be in the frame when the camera follows the talent. 4. If you have to record two talents side by side with only one boom operator, decide your position carefully. If possible, I'd use a position between them, so basically on the axis with the camera. Doing so I can switch the mic position from one to the other my only twisting my boom pole slightly with my wrist. Standing at their left or right, I always have to move back and forth. I know these suggestions are more for boom operators but maybe it's helpful for some of you though. What do you think?
Just got into the Film Industry as a P.A. and mind blown with the amazing Lav graphics that explained the outputs. Wish most tutorials were like this. Thanks!
Thanks so much for all these videos. I was recently introduced into this industry from a Sound in film seminar in one of final college classes; and while sometimes I had an assistants and I could just mix, I have also had to do a one-man boom + placing lavs + mixing combo, I instantly loved it. I was always into music and sound, so this seems right up my alley, I would like to try to dedicate to this in the future as a job. These have been incredibly helpful and insightful, and the quality of each video is superb. Thank you.
I remember working with a Mixpre 3 in college, and during our documentary assignment, I put the lavs on channel 1&2 since those inputs were right next to each other, and then since the boom was on channel three on the other side of the recorder, I knew what was what. Just helped with organizing.
Last weekend (Saturday and Sunday) I used this exact setup but I put the boom in port 3 because it was by itself and 1&2 were right next to each other. First time mixing a short film I must admit. No catastrophes. But it would have been good if someone taught me how to do that spreadsheet. I wish I saw this before. This would have saved the sound designer some trouble 🤪. There’s always next time haha
Whoa! So glad I found this video and this channel. This was a great overview and gave me a good beginning and basic understanding of managing sound on a set. Very cool and informative. Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
Oh man! I love this!!!! Muchas gracias team. I am a photographer for DoD and was task to do video for Command. I know few things but not everything to handle a smooth work process. Oh my good Lord you guys are a blessing. Thank you,, thank you, thank you! I have a lot to learn but at my age I don't care... I'm going to do it. So to understand the vocabulary, is there a chart on video lingo like what's an AD, etc.?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃 may I ask, when you stated that there are going to be 5 files, L, R, boom and 2x lavas. Where does L and R come from?
That's a whole nother video! Oacking blankets are kind of the standard in video shoots. TBH, I use a cardiod mic for interior shots, and a shotgun for exterior work. That solves a lot of problems. Curtis Judds's channel probably cover that, or you could ask Curtis. He's really a great guy
Hi, I have learned a lot from this video, and also others of yours, so thank you! A quick question please... can the Sound Mixer also be the boom operator at the same time/set? Or there is a need of at least 2 people for those jobs?
Another great and informative video. Quick question: Who determines what audio sample rate (44.1 kHz vs. 48 kHz) will be used on the shoot? Who conveys that information to the audio team? Thank you!
Found a new favorite show!! Thanks for the info! Hey! I have a question! I have an old (but still new) SOUND DEVICES 552 and I’d love to start using it. Is it any good? Or should I get something newer?
Cool and informative video. But you should have gone into a bit of the "audio level" aspect of sound mixing/recording. The mixer/boom operator (if they're the same person) should know what levels to set and know clipping means exactly and how to adjust the levels to get the best audio.
This video is nothing short of perfection. So thorough and helpful. Only problem: I need to know about the audio, mixing and mastering on the vocal music recording side.😔 Do you recommend any channels that are as thorough and clear as you guys are with your explanations? 😊
Amazing tips. I was wondering if we should be using limiter. Also I’ve been told that it’s not good to change levels while shooting as it will make dialogue editor job hard due to the changes of noise floor. It’s quite tricky as I have an example where I was in a shooting if a short film where the director wanted each take the whole 15 minutes film. Of course was using boom stands. The actors during the whole script are changing the way they talk from whispers to screams. I used limiter as I didn’t have extra channels to use on my recorder (f8n) as I had many actors and not any extra available channels to use the dual mode (lower levels from same channel) . What is your opinion I shouldn’t use limiters at all and always riding the levels?
I’m also wondering how the mixer rides the levels as said on the video so fast on boom and lavs simultaneously when the actors suddenly whisper or speak loud. If you have to do straight to the recording device.
Hi guys.... Great vid. Thanks for posting and for all the great info!! Also, I was wondering if Caleb from DSLR VIDEO SHOOTER knows that you guys use a piece from one of his tutorials here on your video?! Thanks again and keep those videos coming!!
This was great! I have a question though. Why is there boom pole sound and the actors lav'd? How is that audio used in post production? Is the boom just a fail safe or for room sounds? Thanks! Again great episode, just subscribed!
Your pretty bang on from my experience. Capturing room noise, sound from something the actor might be doing, and redundancy are great points. Also sometimes you need to add just a little bit of the room ambience, clothes rustling etc. in post to make it sound more natural, but it entirely depends on what you are doing. Hope this helps.
On an actual film set, the boom is used for the vast majority of all dialogue. The exception would be - very wide shots or shots where the boom can't swing fast enough to grab someone's lines, etc. A professional quality boom mic sounds infinitely better than a lavaliere mic and doesn't have the problem of clothing noise.
Ive always had this question: what is a normal top peak DB when recording, Ive worked with -12db, other mixers tell me to have it close to -6db but i think this is not good since it can clip when the actor rises their voice. What would Deity recommend?
Hi there, just to clear my mind, sound report is a function directly from the recorder, right ? I never saw this option on Zoom h4N and I never did large budget film, so I always did my sound report by hand.
Correct. The H4N does not have this function. You'd need a mixer from the Zoom F series to do Report Sheets, specifically F4 (though double check this one), F6, F8 and F8n. Other brands like Sound Devices do them also. Not to sure about Tascam, but wouldn't be surprised if they did. So long as the Recorder was designed for Location Sound Mixing, and not a handy recorder (which btw is what the H stands for in the Zoom H line), it should do Report Sheets.
@@charliehinde3653 Thanks for the info, I knew that H stand for Handy. However, I'm a studio guy more than an on set recorder. I work on a lot of low-budget documentaries, and I guess the better option to save me times is an App like Polar MX suggest. Usually, I do sound design and mixing more than recording. Do you have a relatively low-budget suggestion on Location Sound gear ?
@@francoismorel1415 Polar MX is right, and App would be very useful. As far as low budget kit, it depends on how many inputs you require. I'd argue that the best Mixer/Recorder on the market for "Max Inputs to Price" ratio is the Zoom F8n. You get 8 inputs and 3 outputs. As far as quality though, any of the MixPre-ii line are good for low budget (the ones that can do 32-bit float recordings). The MixPre-3ii was the one in this video, and is good, with 3 inputs but you need External Timecode. Consider the MixPre-6ii. The MixPre-3ii and the F8n can be sourced for under £800. If you need it cheaper than that, I'd suggest you look for a Zoom F4, second hand as they are unfortunately now discontinued.
As a Gaffer for over thirty years in the Film and Video biz I can make you a sound recordist in 2 minutes! 1: point the microphone at the talent's mouth. 2: when they say rolling you hit the red button. 3: cry out "leaf blower" or "airplane" once in while to justify your existence. DONE! JK ! 🤣🤣 I was a sound guy before gaffing and I love my eavesdropping brothers and sisters!! 😂😂
Hey guys, trying to film an outdoor interview with two actors in a semi-quiet location. Limited budget, basically no crew. Will just one overhead boom mic, going straight into my Pocket 6k XLR input, work?
Hi Andrew, I recently got a pair the deity connect but it has a lot of self-noise. I updated to the new version of frame Ware.Do you have any solutions to make it sound better.
@@DeityMicrophones Both the Tx are set at +15 and the Rx is at 0db. I use a sound device mixpre 10II at 25db, using the custom mode but the trim is set at basic the rest are Advanced.
06:19 "Sound speed" and "camera speed", not "speeds". It's shorthand from the film and tape days for saying that the camera and sound had spooled up to speed and were stable.
I just say "Speed". The director will call out "Sound!" And I'll say "speed" "Camera!" and camera operator will say "speed" or "rolling" Whatever the director likes.

Your pretty bang on from my experience. Capturing room noise, sound from something the actor might be doing, and redundancy are great points.
