Question on Audio
I am going to try and put together a deer hunting video this year, and will be collecting footage (hopefully) october through january. I will be using this equipment
xha1s ME66 Mic Sennheiser ew 122 lav mics I am confused as to what I kind of set-up I need to run. I can have both mics rolling at the same time, one on channel 1 and other on 2. I assume this is best for all around effectiveness, but how do I make the audio sound correct. When I say this I guess i mean coming out of both speakers. I am new, and am learning on my own, so I am in sponge mode, trying to hold on to any tips someone can give me! |
Most NLEs will allow you to change the pan (right/left balance) of the audio so that both sources will come out of both speakers.

Yes, it is preferred to capture the audio from each different mic on a separate channel. That way you have the most flexibility to use whichever mic (or both mixed together, perhaps?) during the editing process. The decision about what sounds (microphones or otherwise) appear left/right (or in-between) is something that you adjust during editing.
Be sure to capture some stereo "background sounds" using the camera's on-board stereo microphones while you shoot "B-Roll" video footage. (This would be called "room-tone" if you were shooting indoors. :-) This stereo background noise is important to use for filling in behind the dialog tracks to make it sound more natural after mixing the (hopefully!) closer and more clear sounds from the external microphones. |
