REAL RATINGS
After testing each microphone, I like to know if it sounds realistic (accurate lows/bass, mids, highs/treble) in combination with the recorder and/or AUX. amplifier, to see if it needs EQ.
LOWS/BASS
?
DO THE "LOWS" SOUND REAL?
MIDS
?
DO THE "MIDS" SOUND REAL?
HIGHS/TREBLE
?
DO THE "HIGHS" SOUND REAL?
NOTES:
IMPORTANT NOTE: I'm using the Neoteck AUX. amplifier for this test (at the "BOOM" proximity) so if you're not using this to boost the audio, you'll have to raise the levels a lot more in post.
I'm debating whether or not I should do tests using this AUX. (headphone) amplifier, because my guess is there will be times when people don't notice it in these notes (and they'll try to use this microphone at this distance, without it...and that won't work as well).
*Note that you still cannot use this combination with the wireless RECEIVER turned on (there is way too much RFI when it's on) so basically you can't use this as a wireless device (with this mic).
Keep in mind, these settings will not establish the exact level you'll need for every scene (where the audio level "bounces" around -12) but my goal is to provide a good starting point (that comes out clean, after boosting in post). It's also important to use these "recommended settings" for my microphone-specific EQ files to work properly (they won't work as intended if any of the "audio variables" are different). The EQ file was created to correct any sonic imperfections of the microphone or wind protection (foam, furry) and have been created with Audacity (the free audio editor) to make them as affordable as possible. Also, it's important to always monitor (accurate headphones) your audio while recording so you can hear any problems and make any changes needed to your audio.
