Fundamentals of Audio Production Chapter Fourteen: Field Recording Fundamentals of Audio Production. Chapter 14

Preproduction planning Field recording requires additional planning as back-ups are not on-hand Redundancy in equipment, batteries, cables, recording media Checklists help avoid missed items Patience is required as field recording nearly always takes longer than expected Fundamentals of Audio Production. Chapter 14

Fundamentals of Audio Production. Chapter 14 Acoustics in the field The acoustic environment in the field differs greatly from the studio Eliminating unwanted sounds requires the use of hyper-cardioid microphones Controlling wind noise requires windscreen accessories for microphones Fundamentals of Audio Production. Chapter 14

Fundamentals of Audio Production. Chapter 14 Recording music Recordings may be made from pre-fader sends from the FOH console sent to a recording device Recordings may be assembled from parts of several performances Click tracks played through monitors keep musicians playing at the same tempo during each performance Fundamentals of Audio Production. Chapter 14

Fundamentals of Audio Production. Chapter 14 Recording music Remote trucks offer the benefits of the control room on the location Trucks come in all shapes and sizes The microphone signals are split at the stage box and sent simultaneously to the remote truck and the FOH console Fundamentals of Audio Production. Chapter 14

Location recording for screen For decades, the recorder of choice for film sound was the “Nagra” reel-to-reel recorder. The recorder could be synchronized with the camera using SMPTE time code. Digital tape and solid state recorders now offer the same capabilities Fundamentals of Audio Production. Chapter 14
