Sound Recording Ideas Low-Budget Fimmaking (Uk)

Yes! I had a dodgy DV tape which had a few drop-outs. It caused a bit of a headache trying to match up the sound. Apart from that, no other sync issues. I read somewhere that if you use a camcorder with a crystal-engine, sync issues are not an issue.

Rick, have you had any A/V sync issues with your H2? I've read many places online that after a few minutes the audio and video are out of sync. Obviously you can fix it in editing but it takes time. Have you experienced this and do you still like the H2?

Rick, have you experienced any video/audio sync issues with your H2 mic? I've read online alot about this, but, I am still thinking about getting one. Any problems out of it or do you still like it? Thanks.

Great tip! thanks for posting.

Very informative video

a low budget tip for a self made boom

take 2 rings from like rain pipes

you put the rubber bands bands around the rings so it can hold the mic in 2 places

now with a little creativity attach the rings to the boom and you have a cheap solution to isolate the mic from the boom great for sensitive mics

hope it makes sense lol

at a UK-based shop (absolute music solutions) - they are also online.

where did you buy the zoom h2?

so im not the only one working split recording ,although i use the rode nt1a my own power supply & the sony mz rh1 MD recorder ,great video Rick oh and i have made the same boom,B&Q £14.00

Being in the film business and audio engineering, i personally would go with the H4 zoom. I own one for my own field recording, its editing of effects is far superior to the h2, not to mention the x/y pattern mics. Also, and the biggest reason is the fact that the h4 has 2 xlr inputs with phantom power, Which will be needed if your working with quality mics.

ya looked the zoom H2 up .
seems like a great bit of kit .
need to start saving a few £.

Ok, thanks

Hi Cathy. Thanks.
The Zoom H2 is about £130GBP

Not sure but most of the reviews I read favoured the H2 over the H4, plus the H4 is a lot more money.

Good points in here. Zoom H2 and H4 pwns all! Does the H2 have features that the H4 doesn't have?

Hey Rick, that is really interesting Video. How much costs your micro? I look forward to the hot to Video. :)
