I am interested in picking up the sound on the court. Thanks, Joe Boerst |

How much stuff do you have to throw at it? mg -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Depends on what gear you have and how involved you want it to be. How much stuff do you have to throw at it? Do you have long mic cables? Wireless? Do you have access to catwalks (etc.) above the court? Will you have to stay on the ground? Will you be limited to the audience area? What kinds of mics do you have available? How much time/access do you have for setup & strike? |

Lav mikes on each backboard, with some fake reverb on them... bring the lav mikes up only as needed. You won't need crowd spots, there will be plenty of crowd in the ambient mikes, but it won't hurt to throw some up just in case. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

That's pretty much what they do, but they also spot a lot of other stuff. They throw up a lot of crowd fill omnis, too, but they swap them around to make sure you can't hear any one person in the crowd too clearly. Crowds screaming profanity are not popular with broadcasters. If the announcers are in an isolated booth, you'll need more crowd fill than you would if they were just sitting forward with a noise cancelling headset. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

Thanks, Joe Boerst For a mono production, I simply setup a 635 on a desk stand on the floor in front of the announce table, just off mid-court. For stereo, I use two of them. Gets both sneaker-squeak and crowd. Then I feed them through a compressor, whose gain is controlled by a submix of the announcer mics (ducking), with fast attack-release. I goose the hell out of the 635(s), but the announcers still "doughnut" their way through. |

Lavs under the backboard behind the net to catch the swoosh , Shotgun on the back of the net stand , where it won't get bumped aiming to the top of the key to get the squeaks [ some people throw a pzm type underneath front of the net stand ] someone with a shotgun or other directional mic center court to follow the action . Crowds are a little more distant to avoid individuals but more often these days with HD & 5.1 there may be a front & rear pair of crowd / ambiance mics Allot of TSN stuff uses the " Holophone " egg shaped unit with a bunch of omni caps in it "Joe Boerst" wrote in message ...

Mr. Boerst appears to have packed up and taken his question over to r.a.m.p.s He is getting some of the same cross-examination over there. He clarified that he is mixing college basketball for broadcast. |

Great suggestions. I will definitely try the ducking idea. It would have been extremely helpful of you to use proper cross-posting since you seem to have asked in multiple newsgroups instead of initiating multiple parallel threads. Thanks Kind regards Peter Larsen |

Some of the time cross-posting the same post to multiple newsgroups is a good idea, and your excellent question was a great example of it being potentially useful, some other times it is better to also add a followup-to header so that followups go to the most relevant - or occasionally lowest traffic - newsgroup of those posted to. See also http://burks.bton.ac.uk/burks/internet/general/ Your ISP may have a similar collection of general information about all things internet. You got things right to the extent that you seem to use a proper newsreader, but I can't tell you now to make it display all header fields and have to refer you to its help file. Welcome to the usenet. Please understand that I didn't take this up to scold you, but so as to make other people out there aware of these considerations, as most usenet followups also this one is written with the "general good" as an important angle of view.
