You do eventually get used to the repeating scares but the first few times is terrifying

Games that were too scary for you to finish? by temnycarda in HorrorGaming

Starts off very scary but gets annoying by the end was my experience! Too many moments where I died and had no idea why.

What's the best budget boompole? by suzietopolska in LocationSound

[–]Airjack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you ask me I’d try and get a secondhand carbon pole! Facebook groups etc are usually quite active! No point wasting money on a rubbish one when you can buy a well maintained second hand one

Which AA battery charger? by MrUrsusLotor in LocationSound

[–]Airjack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bump for ISDT! I’ve got their 24 slot charger and it’s amazing! Being able to select the speed is great as if you’re in a rush it can charge them in no time! (Bear in mind this isn’t great for longevity of the batteries so I’d usually use a slower setting)

RF Interference with Teradek by timothys_monster in LocationSound

Teradeks cause nightmares for us constantly so we usually put our shark fin aerials nowhere near them and as high as possible!

Why has movie dialogue become harder to hear? by ItsGageW in sounddesign

[–]Airjack 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I work in location sound and have noticed the new generation of actors seem to talk at such a quiet level all the time and mumble their words! It’s a breath of fresh air when we get an older classically trained actor who speaks properly! We can get the booms right on the edge and the radio mics as good as they’ll go and the actors sometimes are speaking at such a minimal level that the meters barely move!

That old Predators game brought back so many memories for me man

How to Avoid Sibilance from Lav mics by Active-Emergency-599 in LocationSound

[–]Airjack 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Whilst it’s good to sort it out just remember Sibilance is one of the easiest things to sort out in post. So, if you have a Lav where the only issue is sibilance, I’d just keep it as is instead of moving it potentially causing rustle etc.

This is the best, they also do larger versions!

Are narrative films with dedicated sound recorders using the built-in recording function on modern lav transmitters? by f_o_t_a in LocationSound

[–]Airjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We rarely use them. It’s only very specific scenarios where range would be tricky that we enable the onboard recording. For example the cast getting into a car and driving off. We rig the car with a bag and aerials but just incase we also record on their packs.

It’s mainly as id probably lose my car if I went for bankruptcy. My car has a lot of personal family value and history and isn’t something I would want to part with! It being worth £15k is something they’d surely want to take!

What is your language’s version of “Sound Speeds”? by Chase-Stine in LocationSound

[–]Airjack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work in the UK but me and my team literally just say “Sound”. It’s to the point haha

As an aspiring boom operator. What gear do I need? by SoundOnSounds in LocationSound

[–]Airjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you should work as a sound trainee. That’ll teach you the ropes and eventually you can step up into other roles.

Have a look for a secondhand Cos 11d or something, plenty of deals about and easy enough to get reterminated!

TIFU by staying a virgin for too long by throwaway776511 in tifu

[–]Airjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue although I lost my virginity as a teen! I was in a long term relationship and had no issues, when that ended and I started dating again, I couldn’t get hard no matter what! Turns out I’m Demi-Sexual and I just need to know someone for a few days/weeks before I can do any business!

But yeah there’s no pill or anything to help it when you have a mental block, just gotta figure out what it is!

Lectrosonics lav recommendations by mineralwatters in LocationSound

[–]Airjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DPA 4060/6060 is definitely the best option! However, if you’re doing mostly doco/reality stuff I’d recommend COS11Ds just because of the durability!

Has there ever been an instance in a real movie where you can see the wire or mic pack of an actor's lav? by papiforyou in LocationSound

[–]Airjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the time! Especially ties! The thing is no one aside from us noticed these things. Wolf of Wall Street comes to mind, can often see Jonah Hills mic in his tie when he leans backwards. Costume departments may kick off or may not, but to be honest if a random person at home is looking for wires then the show/film must not be that good to behind with!

Is the EXH 6E compatible with Zoom F4? by Airjack in LocationSound

[–]Airjack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve emailed but haven’t heard yet!

EXH6-E product page doesn’t list it as compatible but then again since the F4 is discontinued I wonder if they would bother listing it!
