How to record in a studio without room reverb?

Hi
I am in preproduction for a short film of which about 80% will be shot in a blue screen studio. How do I ensure that the audio from the actor does not contain any room reverb? I presume this is possible as films like starwars etc were from what I understand almost entirely shot in studios and there is no reverb when the actors speak.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
cheers

The answer is batting... And that has nothing to do with baseball.
The big (Universal, MGM, Disney) production and sound studios are heavily insulated.
Carpeted floors
Foam padding on walls
Door and window seals
Insulating wrap on all exposed ductwork and pipes
Padding on doors and windows (if they even have windows)
Wrap on cables and wires that are suspended anywhere that they may reflect sound
Cameras and people are not very reflective interestingly enough, but crates, and tables are, so they need cloth over them.
As to the "Star Wars" analogy, the actor's voice on the set is very rarely what you hear in the final production. Lines are re-read in a sound studio for the final cut, and adjusted to compensate for Foley and environment (sound effects and indoor vs outdoor, etc.). Volumes are "normalized", effects are added (echo, balance, ambience) and then it's all spliced together to match the lip sync on the screen.

  • How to add a record in document library without upload file.

    Hi,
    how to add a record in document library without upload file?
    Is it possible? I want to create a folders in Document Library but inside folders i do not want to upload a file instead of just i want to create a record. I will map my local file path to the records.
    Can anyone help me on it?
    Thanks & Regards
    Poomani Sankaran

    Hello Sankaran,
    document library is to upload documents, without document you will not be able to add a record or Item to it.
    for your requirement you can use a list and enable folders within the list and maintain the local path of the file as an item in list.

  • How to delete a games record in game center without deleting the app?

    i want to delete one of my games record on game center without deleting the game app itself
    what should i do?

    Hi,
    Sounds like what you want to do is evict the item from the cache, rather than remove it.  Evicting the item is effectively saying the entry in the cache is out of date, and Coherence should retrieve it from the database should a new request for the key come in.
    You can set up eviction either through config, (to evict after a period of time or when the cache reaches a certain size), or pragmatically using an entry processor, (which calls remove(true) on the entry passed to it. The 'true' means evict rather than delete).
    Hope this helps,
    Andy

  • Hi, I want to use my Capsule just as a back up via wireless. How do I set this up without connecting it with an ethernet cable to either a router or the iMac??

    Hi, I want to use my Capsule just as a back up via wireless. How do I set this up without connecting it with an ethernet cable to either a router or the iMac??

    I misunderstood what Time Capsule is and had hoped for a wireless backup device that didn't have to be connected to the router.
    The TC is a wireless backup device.. it does not need to be connected to the main router..
    The problem is the computer.. not the TC.. the computer has only one wireless card.. if your current internet is by wireless.. then you must choose.. internet or backup.
    But my other suggestion will work.. get a wireless USB stick compatible with Mac OS.. there are plenty and cheap.. since you are in the same room as the TC they will work fine.. plug it in and load the driver.. taint hard.
    You should do the first backup by ethernet though.. wireless is too slow.. once you have that, you will do fine.
    Search ebay for wireless n usb.. Mac compatible..
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-EDUP-Mini-Wireless-11N-300M-USB-LAN-Card-WiFi-Adapte r-Nano-Card-Soft-AP-/150864362939?pt=US_USB_Wi_Fi_Adapters_Dongles&hash=item2320 377dbb#ht_3553wt_1165
    As you can see.. they are getting smaller and neater.
    I have no idea if it works .. haven't tried one.. but I have used USB wireless stick on the Mac to overcome this issue.
    You will need to set static IP .. not hard but you need to set specifics if you do buy one post again for the setup.

  • How to record a simple sidebar video as in Adobe Presenter 7

    In Adobe Presenter 9, how to record a video with my webcam to put as a sidebar video for one slide ?
    In Presenter 7 we could do that easily.  Now with the new video editer we can make great videos and capture the screen.  But that's not what need...
    How to do a simple sidebar video without capturing the screen...
    Look at the point 4 on this website: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Presenter/7.0/WS56318F3C-65A7-477b-8CAA-2CBF0902BA5B.html
    3-...Capture video...
    4-...then select... ...sidebar video to record video for the Presenter image area.
    It was easy in Presenter 7 !!!!!!!!!!!
    Thanks

    When you use the video recording feature in Presenter 8+, it does record a stand alone WMV of your webcam. While the workflow isn't as clean as before, it can be inserted back in just as a sidebar video, without the background screen capture. Here is how you can do it:
    Use the Presenter Video Creator to record your video. Disregard that your screen is being captured, you won't use it.
    After you record your video, Save your project. Don't publish it, as the published output is useless to you.
    Back in Presenter, choose to Insert Video.
    Browse to your webcam capture (My Documents > My Adobe Presenter Video Projects > {What ever you named the capture} > mt). Should be named something like presenter_video1.wmv
    Presenter will convert it to FLV, you can select the quality and location, slide or sidebar, as in previous versions of Presenter.
    If desired, you can use a 3rd part video conversion tool to convert the WMV video, but that may not be necessary.

  • Add a new record in database table without using table maintance generator

    Hi Expart ,
                  Plz. tell me how to add new record in database table without using table maintance ganerator ....give me one ex.
    Regards
    Bhabani

    Hi,
    The other way to safely handle the modification of tables is through is by programs that can be done with SE38 or SE80.
    To insert into database table we use INSERT statement :
    1. To insert a single line into a database table, use the following:
    INSERT INTO <target> VALUES <wa>.
    INSERT <target> FROM <wa>.
    2. To insert a several lines into a database table, use the following:
    INSERT <target> FROM TABLE <itaba>.
    Or even we can use MODIFY statementas this single statement is used to insert as well as update the records of database table.
    MODIFY <target> FROM <wa>.
    or MODIFY <target> FROM TABLE <itab>.
    thanx.

  • How to export from iMovie HD without losing quality?

    I created a movie in iMovie HD made from clips from my camera which records great quality HD video, and now I want to export it and save as a movie file so that I can import it into iMovie '09 as part of a larger project. However, every time I try to export it, the resulting file has noticeably worse quality than when I view it in iMovie HD. I have tried the "full quality" option which exports as a .mov file, but the quality is much worse. I have also tried "Expert settings" choosing DV, AVI and MPEG-4 and have changed the settings to the best options I could find, but still the quality is worsened every time. How can I export my video without losing quality??

    Do you mean import what I have in iMovie 09 into iMovie HD/06 instead? I suppose I could but I wanted to add some of iMovie 09's titles and adjustment effects to my iMovie HD/06 project, so it could get quite complicated trying to piece it all together. I may have to do that as a last resort, but does anyone know any way I can get around this?
    I would think there must be some way to save my iMovie 06 file as something other than an iMovie file without losing quality... but things aren't always that easy are they?

  • How to record the data against time?

    Hi there,
    I am doing a real-time measurement, and i get a 1-D dataflow  from the loading cell without time stamp.  I know how to record it and save it to a file. However, how to store the data against time? I know I can use "get date time in seconds.vi" to obtain the system time, but how to integrate it with the dataflow from the loading cell? it would be best if I can view the dataflow changing with respect to the system time in a waveform chat.
    Thanks.
    Mike

    You are doing a measurement with what? NI DAQ card or something else? The chart and saving to file are two different things. For an example of displaying time in a chart, look at the example called Real-Time Chart. How exactly do you want the time/measurement data written to file?

  • How to record from an external source

    I recently bought a hp envy 17" and I cant figure out how to record onto this laptop.  I have to jacks on the left side, one with an icon of a headphones, the other with an icon of a headset.  I want to be able to take input a stereo jack to record into one of these and record into a program like Audacity.  Under device manager it says I have an ATI High Def Audio Device.  How do I record from an external source?  Thanks.

    @toolchic, first make sure that in the IDT HD Sound properties [right click the IDT ICON near the clock, which says "Controls IDT Audio Settings" on mouse over the icon], and choose "Open Audio control panel".
    Next choose "Recording > Settings". Here choose the input you want to record with. In your case choose "Integrated Microphone Array" on the top left. Click "Settings" just bellow, slide the bar to "10db boost" on the right, and slide the recording level bar about midway up [at the bottom of the window where all the volume controls for all recording devices are].
    While you/re there, it's a good idea to mute the "External mic", and mute any other recording device that you do not need. Next, click the "Processing" tab below the settings tab, and choose "Reduce noise". Leave all the others unchecked. for these will produce a not so nice sound. This helps to eliminate fan noise and other background noise in your recording.
    Now when you open your preferred digital audio program e.g.. Audacity [it's free and pretty easy to use, see link below], you can choose the INTEGRATED MIC ARRAY in the recording options. Choose that and then "arm" the track for recording [Usually an icon with R in the recording controls] Next click "record" to begin recording. Of course these steps depend on the digital audio recording program you're using.
    If you don't have a dedicated digital audio recording program, and if you have windows 7 or vista, you can record long sessions with the default Microsoft recording program [this program is useless in XP, for it only records for like a minute or so, maximum!. A dedicated program such as Audacity records depending on how much hard drive disk space, or close to that.
    @fritz, in essence, input jacks of most current notebooks, external computer mics are mono, but they use a  stereo mini jack [or 3 band, if I understood you correctly]. These are the same as regular earphone jacks. One band is signal, one is earth, and the other is +5 Volts to drive the condenser [these are known as "condenser mics"]. But if you use a dedicated studio type recording mic, then you need a dedicated preamp, and if it is a condenser as apposed to a dynamic mic, the preamp needs to supply what's known as "phantom power" [typically 45v] through the input jack where the mic is plugged into.
    However, if you record from the mic in/line in jack of a line out of say a mic preamp, channel mixer deck, CD/DVD/TV etc., then this has to be a stereo mini jack [has 3 bands]. Special cables with 2 [stereo] RCA jacks to mini jack are the ones to use. That is if the line out connector of your recording course is RCA [your typical TV/CD//DVD audio / video out or in are RCA connectors e.g..].

  • How to record vinyl at 24bit?

    Hi guys,
    I have some vinyl records Id like to record using audition. Normally I record at 16bits and just burn on cd but I recently read that you can record at 24bits and burn it to dvd for better sound. Can someone please tell me what I need to do this? I know I can record using audition but do I need special burning software to do this. I use Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 for burning usually. Any help would be great!
    MaxQ

    Okay, it doesn't take much telling, and of course it's not in the book, so here's
    Vinyl Processing 101
    >Where do I tell Audition to record in 32bit float before I start recording...
    In Edit View (which is fine for recording vinyl) you get the option in the 'New Waveform' pane that pops up when you hit the record button - so you select 44.1k, stereo and under Resolution, 32-bit Float.
    In Multitrack View, it's a preference. So you go to Edit>Preferences>Multitrack and set the Rec Bit Depth default to 32-bit, and whilst you are there make sure that Auto Mixdown is set to 32-bit as well. But quite frankly, unless you have a specific reason for recording in MV I wouldn't bother when it comes to vinyl - you have to do most of the processing in EV anyway.
    The only valid reason that I can think for recording in MV of would be perhaps to save a little time at the end of the side of a disk; if you record in Multitrack it's direct to file, but in EV recording's still to a temp file that then has to be saved to a permanent one, by you, as a discrete operation. And if you are worried about cockups that might involve re-recording (which can be time-consuming) then save two copies and only work on one of them
    >Can you type me out a quick list of how to record and what order I should do conversions from 32bit to 16.
    >should I EQ and remove noise in 32bit or do it after I convert to 16?
    The whole idea is that you only convert
    to a 16-bit file once - just for the listening copy. So it's absolutely the last thing you do after
    all processing.
    For a side of vinyl, (an LP with several tracks) the usual - but not only - order to process is to record in EV, normalize the whole side to about -1dB or thereabouts and then do scratch removal, and after that, do noise reduction. The reason for normalizing the whole side first is that this way, you retain the relative mastering levels between the tracks - assuming that these decisions were actually made, of course. You don't
    have to do that - you can split the tracks out first and deal with them individually if you want, normalizing each one separately. Your choice.
    If you feel that you need to alter the EQ, or do any other sort of mastering, like harmonic enhancement (be careful with this; it's very easy to overdo it) or stereo widening, then do this after all of the click and noise processing - subjectively, a lot of clicking alters your perception of the sound, so you need to get that out of the way first. I wouldn't bother with loudness maximising or any other sort of compression - this gets pretty tiring to listen to, but you may like, under some circumstances, to add just a little reverb - often processing can reduce the effects of the original, so putting just a touch back is, on a lot of 'commercial' tracks, quite an acceptable thing to do IMHO.
    Having done all of that, then the last thing you need to do is to make sample rate converted copies that you can write to a CD. This is the point where you get the option to dither, and whatever setting you choose, it's going to be a lot better than not choosing one at all. There's a lot of stuff in the old Syntrillium forum about the best dither to use for vinyl, but personally I don't think it makes a huge difference which noise-shaping option you use, although if I recall correctly, either C1 or C2 was popular. I use the dither provided in the full-blown iZotope Ozone, so for me it's not an issue.
    There's stuff all over the forum about the correct process for creating CDs with or without gaps, etc so I won't rehash that. But for most vinyl work, the above will do. You might, according to what you end up processing, though, want to look up references to Younglove's decrackling script - this can often improve results, although we don't hear so much about it these days - I wonder why?
    Of course, there's more - there's
    always more. Most of it, though, is to do with dealing specifically with the vinyl, but you do also have other processing options that I haven't dealt with - mainly because they are slightly more esoteric. Options here include sum and difference processing for noise (aka Mid-Side) and using external processors like Har-Bal for more subtle corrections. But as I said, that's more esoteric and most of the time, you don't need it to get acceptable results.
    * You have options here - quite often I take a chance and normalize a file before I save it, either as a working or a safe copy, as that's absolutely undo-able if it's 32-bit, with no loss at all.
