Re: Mixing Novice
by Rodney Morris (Rodney M) on Jul 22, 2008 at 5:09:08 pm

I've gotten several calls from a local studio to fix audio in post that got screwed up in production. There's a lot of tricks an audio pro with the right set of tools could try, but it's not going to be pretty. It'll be better than awful, but still bad.

Just a hint with EQ. You'll get the best results by attenuating (cutting) trouble frequencies rather than by trying to boost missing frequencies. You can try to boost the low to mid freqs to beef up the voices, but you'll just make a muddy mess with the room. Now if you could get a good sample of room tone, you might be able to use a noise filter to help cut down on the mud, but again there's NO miracle plug-in/filter for this.

Are absolutely ALL the wirelesses useless? I recently fixed a scene (by the fore mentioned studio) where I was given two speaking actors on screen and only one wireless mic (the other was not recorded!!) and was able to make the two actors audio match very well.
