Love it, Love the small but effective setup. Everytime I watch these videos, I think I need to get my own setup but it's so damn expensive as an unknown, how do I promote myself. I love seeing gear and the story behind how recordists and mixers get a foot in the door. I'll keep banging on those doors and hope one opens soon. Looking forward to the next video.
It doesn't have to be quite so expensive. Zoom F8/F8n, Micron Explorer Wireless etc. There are great products for a budget that'll give you fully professional results.
@@FamousJames It depends on your budget. If you can afford a 633 or higher, as well as good wireless and mics, then great. Having a few channels of professional grade wireless and an industry standard indoors and outdoors mic is far more important than having an 633 or higher (I actually prefer F8n to the Mixpre series but that's preference). But yeah, best advice I can give is prioritise wireless and mics. Cheap wireless sucks, F8's don't.
@@alexstroud3615 yeah makes sense, can always upgrade my recorder down the line. Like you say, g3 or g4 rads with cos11 and either 416 or 8060 as an all in one mic.
@@FamousJames I wouldn't use a 416 as an all in one. Long shotguns can be very dodgy indoors. 8060 as it's short might be better as an all in one. I used a Sanken CS1 as an all in one personally. Fine indoors and no handling noise. You can always mix a 416 with a proper supercardoid. Oktava MK012 isn't bad. You need a steady hand though for it's handling noise. G3's are ok but probably first thing I'd upgrade. An idea would be start with 8060, F8 and a few channels of used G3 with Cos-11d. Upgrade the G3s to Micron Explorers ASAP and get the Cos-11ds reterminated to fit. You can maybe keep one of the G3 transmitters for use with an IEM system later. Next I'd definitely try and get an industry standard indoors mic. MKH50/Scheops CMC6/41 if you want to do drama, MKH50 if you want to do docs/corporates. Maybe then get a popper outdoors shotgun (used 416?). Only after you did all of this would I say even start considering an upgrade to a SD633 or whatever.

Damn, that would have been so awesome being there for all those interviews!
Are u actor pastor David Turnerro
Glad to know I'm not the only person who hates trying to be segmented into just one part of the process.
same!
Would love to hear more about that figure 8 approach and the plant mikes!
Fig 8 approach is called mid/side recording, very frequent in doc and sometimes narrative
Thank you for this interview! I'm a fellow person who can't decide what part of the wheel I'm on. I wish I could hang out with both of you!
Thanks for commenting! I like to just run on the wheel like a hamster, personally. ;) . Hope to hang with you sometime too!

@@alexstroud3615 I feel like because most recordists and mixers use SD. I should start with SD to keep myself upto date with its system.

Always useful to have M/S as an option later in post. But why not go for something like a Sennheiser MKH 418-s? Seems compacter and lighter to me
Hi Good morning your great friend.
