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:
WARNING: This combination does not work (too much RFI). The RFI is coming from the transmitter/recorder itself (whether or not the RECEIVER is on) so there's no hope for this mic/audio recorder combination. I (unless I add an AUX. amplifier, but it would have to be the Comica Dual Lav, as this mic requires plug-in power). The test with the receiver ON makes the RFI even worse (and it's constant, no matter what the distance). I'm going to have to remove this mic from the list of mics I can use with this transmitter/recorder.
Remember to always monitor your audio while you're recording (using accurate headphones) because good settings can't fix bad audio. Also, these settings will not establish the exact level you'll need for every scene, but the goal is to provide a good starting point that will become clean, after adjusting in post. Additionally, these "custom settings" are used to make the Microphone-Specific EQ files work (as they won't work as intended if any of they aren't used). The EQ files were created to correct any imperfections of the microphone and/or wind protection (FOAM and/or FURRY) and were made in Audacity (the free audio editor) to make them as affordable & universal as possible.
