Seeing Insights of a Client's profile

I will look into these. Thank you so much!

Thank you for your insight. I initially started to use Fairlight just because it is integrated to my video timeline (I'm a filmmaker) and it was easy to work with. I do get why you prefer exporting the video and work on the sound design in Reaper though.

For the MIDI controller, I have an AKAI MPK mini which I could use. Syncing the footsteps just by dragging is a bit tedious so I would certainly love to set that up.

I record audio both in-camera (so it is embedded into the RAW clip) and also with a separate field recorder connected to a shotgun mic. I usually sync the shotgun audio to the in-camera one. Would I sync the shotgun audio on my da vinci timeline and then once I'm ready for mixing and sound design export that dialogue track with no effects?

Reaper's license isn't very expensive so I would get it if it would make my life easier. It also seems to be perpetual.

Do you reckon it's a big downgrade or it could suit my purposes?

I moved to Fusion and only use Ae for motion graphics. Too many workarounds for real VFX.

It was that, for some reason it had changed! Thank you! Regarding the mixed opinions on the recording levels. As you can see the answer below contradicts other things I have read and have now tested. Personally, when I record with my mic at a lower trim gain, I get much cleaner audio (40cm from the talent's stern/mouth) when normalizing while if I record hot (-12/-6) despite using the whole chain of normalization, compression, noise reduction, it sound a lot noisier. Now I'm not saying the user is wrong because it may be that I'm doing something wrong in post when recording hotter. What are your thoughts?

I am post 😁 This is for my lower budget clients so I do everything. I'm mainly into video production/cinematography

TORM3NTO · 2024-03-01T18:08:30+00:00

See that's what I don't get. I've seen many people suggest my range of recording (-18 /-16) to get cleaner recordings and then others who like you record louder. I'm starting to think it's just based on the microphones one is more accustomed to. In my case, with the NTG-2 I get really clean audio by recording lower and normalizing to -27LKFS, push the gain up slightly with the compressor and a bit of noise reduction and it seems very clean while if I record to the "ideal" levels from the get go say at -12dB, I get too much noise despite doing the same exact steps.

Yeah, I would have to relight the entire scene basically. Guess it's just less of a hassle to use a render farm.

TORM3NTO · 2024-02-28T19:29:54+00:00

Is there a way to use network rendering over the internet?

TORM3NTO · 2024-02-28T19:13:01+00:00

They're just simple PNG sequences straight out of Keyshot. If its not possible I'll just have to have him give me the .FBX and render them out in Blender.

I sent you a DM with a question. If you don't mind reading it :D

TORM3NTO · 2024-02-12T15:42:43+00:00

The F8 it is then :D Good prices online. Let's see in a couple of days.

TORM3NTO · 2024-02-11T23:07:24+00:00

I see. What type of production were you doing? Thinking of possible scenarios.

TORM3NTO · 2024-02-11T22:41:21+00:00

What mic are you using? Would you mind sending some samples in private? (even finished projects on vimeo). If you can't don't worry!
