Concert Audio
I'm going to be filming a concert soon and will be stationed about 20-30 feet away from the stage. I know that an XLR feed would be the best way to capture the acoustics, but unfortunately that won't be an option for this event.
I did some testing and it sounds like the XF-300's on-board stereo mic is better at capturing the highs while my NTG-1 is better at capturing the lows. Just curious to hear what people's thought are as to which mic to use. |
Re: Concert Audio
Seems like the obvious choice of using both would be ideal. Then mix out the weak frequencies in either signal.

What's the music and what's the space ?
Can you record the board sound to a separate recorder and a scratch track on the camera and then sync in post ? |

On-board audio is never going to give you good results. For concerts you need some sort of mic at the front of the stage. A stereo mic placed in the middle combined with "Levelator" in post does a good job at bringing out voices.

Re: Concert Audio
Depends so much on what you are recording. Orchestral/choral concerts have entirely different needs from rock/electric stuff and if the latter, house mix and recording mix are different again. One thing in common - on camera mic will not give you good results for either.

Re: Concert Audio
Does Levelator work with Vegas Pro? Or would I use it ande then bring the audio tracks back in to Vegas?
