1/24/18 - Reading "The Sound Effects Bible"


Posting for the previous day again…  Continuing today with "Recording Commandment" #4.  A simple one today, basically just remember to check your recording levels frequently: during daily prep, before a take, after a take, etc.  Just continually ensure that you're actually getting what you want and not recording too low (too soft and meshed with noise) or too hot (resulting in clipping).

One interesting thing he pointed out was to adjust volume levels based on the meters, not your ears.  I'm fairly used to this in the editing room, but due to my lack of fancy audio recorders I don't have much experience with this while actually gathering sounds.  Definitely something I'll have to remember as I upgrade my equipment.
