hi

I hear you should have mixer, dats, booms and sennheisers all of them, but as the budgets low, how could you get around buying loads of equipment.

Say its for a XL1, id need a ADR adapter first? right? so i can plug in a ADR connector cable.

Could i just not plug a sennheiser right in to it.?
also becase its digital and not film do i really need a dat recorder?

thanks all the best www.ngmfilms.com

It has an XLR input, so you do not really need any adapters from a sennheiser.

XL1 doesn't have XLR inputs, the XL2 does though..

Really? I could have sworn it does... or is that the XL1S?

I use an XL1, with either the onboard mic or a sennheiser with standard mic plug.

If I'm doing a worthwhile shoot, we have a separate audio system, recorded onto a Roland Hard Drive recorder and possibly a laptop as well, video synced to the camcorder.

How's that laptop deal work out Epsilon? I was thinking of doing that for my next movie.

That's the method my team uses. It works quite well (most of the time). Plus, it's the ultimate cheap yet high quality recording system, provided you already own a laptop.

f*** I just wrote everything out and Matthawkins Online logged me out... I'm not in the mood to type it out again.

oh go on retype it

ive had a look at sennheisers and there 200+ quid, I also been told you can sack off an run it thought a SQN but there 800 quid.

Is there any other good mics out there or should i just stick to shotgun mic.

What software where u running on Epsion from your laptop.

Seeing as my camera doesn't even have a mic input I redub most of the audio afterwards!

How does working with mixers on set work? Do you have a separate device recording audio like an MD player or something like that or does a mixer take lots of different mic inputs and output it into the camera?

We capture audio on the computer with Adobe Audition. Make sure the laptop doesn't have a lot of system noise. Some PCs have a little buzz...
