The recording environment here actually has a lot of wind noise as the room sits next to the entrance to the operating theatre complex (with its positive pressure pushing air); that was well attenuated with Brusfri. However, moving the microphone around towards the different people talking let to microphone noise with the Takstar. Some of it wasn’t severe enough to require editing, but at some areas I needed to surgically EQ it to attenuate it (it can’t be eliminated as it occurred during dialogue). With previous recordings, moving the mic around wasn’t a problem as the mic was moved between planned gaps; any noise could be removed without disturbing the dialogue. I wonder if the shock mount of this mic is not as good as the Boya BY-MM1 and that I should try out that mic next time. I do, however, appreciate the slightly higher bass in the Takstar which I might miss in a future recording.

After more than a month, the last installment of the series is here. If you came here just for the video, here you go:

Production notes below.

This was a simple one to edit relatively. I increased some of the saturation and exposure levels for video. For the audio, I made separate compression settings for each speaker and adjusted the EQ for one of them. I tried to only approximate the audio levels grossly as I don’t think trying to get them exactly the same overall was worth the effort and energy (I doubt most people would complain). With the lack of productivity after contracting COVID and getting admitted for 10 days, I more or less just wanted to “just get it out”.

Till the next series.
