Mic bleed in dialog
I'm using two consdensor mics with pop screens and compressors to
record dialog for a podcast, and some guests don't want to get too close to the mic. So when I crank the gain the guest mic picks up bleed from the host in an echo-y room. I can't separate the two persons because the videographer wants them sitting close (face-to-face), and I tried a noise gate with no success. Would a lav solve my problem? If so, any recommendations for a cardiod wired lav for $200 street? Will a lav in that price range get a warm, clean sound? I like the condensors because it's warm and clean (and I don't have to buy anything) if the speaker speaks closely. Should I be diligent or get a lav? |

I can't separate the two persons because the videographer wants them sitting close (face-to-face), and I tried a noise gate with no success. So use a more directional microphone. Note that if you do this, the guests need to be a lot more careful about staying on-mike. Would a lav solve my problem? If so, any recommendations for a cardiod wired lav for $200 street?

Should I be diligent or get a lav? No, for the most part the lav mike will make the problem worse, because it's placed under the chin and has a very wide pattern. It looks great on-camera, though, compared with a desk mike. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

One way to get around this this is to have them sit side by side on a sofa or chairs. They will still face each other to talk. Frank /~ http://newmex.com/f10 @/ |

I can't separate the two persons because the videographer wants them sitting close (face-to-face), and I tried a noise gate with no success. I've had good luck keying the other mic from the opposite mic. In other words, the gate isn't set to respond to the input's sound level but rather when the other mic is spoken into it gets pushed down. I've found that pushing it just enough to avoid roominess or echoiness in the summing of them, and no more, can yield pretty acceptable results. V |
