Re: Recording Room Tone
by Will Salley on Jun 28, 2008 at 8:47:13 am

Different projects require different lengths of room tone. A :30 spot obviously won't need anything longer than 30 seconds, but a long interview may require more. However, I
ve never used more than about 30 seconds and if I did, it can be looped. So I would say 30 seconds is adequate for most everything.

Always record the room tone with the same mic and in the same position as the dialog to be covered was recorded. If you split your tracks (lav & boom on separate tracks), record room tone the same way. If during a take, an extraneous noise occurred such as an air conditioner, and you couldn't repeat the take, record room tone with the AC on and off. This way, the editor can introduce the BG noise slowly and make it less obvious.
