Lol I felt that tension at the end haha. Great episode and can't wait to see many more.

I've had the Sony MDRV6 headphones for the last 5 years or so and I love them! They have such a flat response, which....as you mentioned...is what you want.

Thank you for the video guys! I'm a sound mixer and recordist in Arizona taking time to learn more about microphones, mixing, setting up, headphones, and mixing in post-production. You guys have very insightful information!

What is all the equipment that a production sound mixer would want to have on set? And how does one keep all that stuff organized? (My apologies if you already have a video on this.)

An awesome episode/video as always gentlemen! 😁 I've been looking into purchasing a set of Sony MDR-7506's for a while now.

I'm relatively new to the sound field. I thank you for your comment on being a sound recorder, vs a sound mixer. I need to set the bar higher for myself.

How important/ often should we follow guidelines for loudness standards for streaming and cinema theatre even if you’re at a indie level?

You guys are great. Really. Thanks for the great uncolored content. Much appreciated.

Amazing channel ✨Thank you 🧡

If you're working on a location sound job, you have 4 people wired up with wireless lavs and you find that one of them is picking up a lot of clothing rustle, how do you tactfully fix that issue without angering the rest of the crew or actors?

I just had to deal with this very issue! I just let the show go on :(

Question: you talked about colored sounds. I know that every company has their own signiture sound but is their a way to calibrate the sound that closely matches the source or is that impossible?

What are the differences between signal to interference ratio and Signal to noise ratio? great mailbag btw

Is tascam headphones good for monitoring sound I got a set with my Tascam DR40

What audio program is best for EQ and mixing? Do you mix directly in you NLE, or use third party software?

Can you show us how to do sound on audacity?

I used BEATS pro for a while. I Would A-B tracks very often however because i was trying to achieve the sound of those tracks in my beats.

6:40 Don't forget the Room tone for that!! 😛

Is is possible to inverse the polarity of a sample of room noise, layered on top of let’s say interview audio to cancel out the noise? ie. some sort of constant hum/buzz.

HI I am using off bring wireless and i am getting modulation when at add three channels of audio. How can i go about dealing with this pain thanks

Would there be any situation where an on-camera handy recorder like a Zoom H1n would be preferable over an on-camera shotgun mic and if so, what would that situation be?

Sony MDR-V600 for me. Know them, don't add anything (flat response), big range. Sadly, no longer available.

What are the differences between signal to interference ratio and Signal to noise ratio? great vid btw

My question was featured!!! Your answer was great, although I was surprised that you explored mixing more than recording. There was some great information about avoiding headphones with "color" and trying to find something with a more flat frequency response... it just didn't really answer my vague question about getting levels the way that I thought it would. I thought you might talk more about sound isolation or something. I've found that my go to mixing / listening headphones aren't great for levels etc. because they don't isolate the sound very well. I can hear what is happening around me and I get a false sense of full audio that isn't really in the recording. I guess I was just wondering if there was a model of heaphones that is preferred by professionals recording (not mixing) in the wild. I imagine there must be a pair that is cheap enough to just throw in a gear bag, good enough to get the job done, and comfortable enough to wear all day. I'm not expecting you to answer this... I'm just clarifying my original question for anyone who wants to chime in. :) Here is a fun audio question for next time: How do you deal with the Fletcher Munson Curve when you're mixing? Do you do your best mix for low, medium, or loud volume? I think I have a good answer, but I'd love to hear your thoughts ton that.

Nice production

Is 16-bit depth audio good enough to make quality dialogue recordings?

does it make sense to mix on a popular consumer pair of headphones as that's how a lot of people would listen to stuff in the end?

Sony 7506. I've got a pair on my desk at home. A pair on my camera in the studio. A pair in my camera bag. And a pair on my desk at work.

How to mic underwater ?

What about Sony noise cancelling headphones?

7:00 why not just use a noise gate ? Seems a lot simpler then doing it manually...

Good video guys! Just my 2 cents' worth on headphones: if your ear pads start flaking of the crappy plastic, try to get real leather covered replacements. My Sony phones were terrible in this regard and I would end up with black particles on my ears when taking them off. Yikes! I found some sheepskin covered pads on Amazon for about $20 and now no more flake shedding.

What's the best microphone to record in a simple room!?

I do not agree with your “whatever works as long as it’s flat” mentality. 7506’s accent high end noises, which helps new field mixer/recordists to catch a potential problems, but I feel like they lack the detail to discern a wireless “hit” over high end clothing rustle. The Audio Technica ATH series are a great bang for the buck, but both the AT’s and Sonys are lossy and require louder listening. The 7506’s are torture if you are on a 12hr day. I switched to Ultrasone Pros like 10 years ago and never looked back. If I am on the floor or in the control room, and one of the mixers asks me to prefade a cast member, I can call out the nature of the issue quicker than the other guys wearing 7506’s. A lot of vets also use the Beyer Dynamic 880’s too. I use the open back 990’s for post work/mixing. Granted, there is a level of fidelity in super expensive hi-if cans that’d be wasted on field work, but “any old flat headphones will do” just does not seem like sound advice (puns!).

Isn't that with the two microphones done with a gate or ducking?

Is does matter what headphones you use for mixing. Open backed headphones are better because they don’t color the sound.

Not exactly. Open back headphones also bleed signal a lot and when the volume is loud in them people nearby can hear what you're listening to... so can the microphones on set. Also open back headphones allow for more outside bleed into your ears which make it harder for you to trust what your microphones are picking up or not picking up. Video crew members use closed back headphones for both of these reasons.

Sony MDR7506 hedphones do not add color, are 100% accurate, and are the choice of affluent DJs and accomplished performers worldwide. They are unchanged and still in production for 3 decades for a good reason!.

For Mixing with Headphones and get accurate. You need to mix with Open Back headphones that's the professional way....

Deity Microphones I relistened to this episode on my iPhone, my mac and my pc with reference monitors and headphones. You only sound „normal“ on the iPhone. You lack any sort of higher frequency especially on higher end speakers. Maybe some good reference headphones wouldn‘t do you a bad job. Better than the sonys and definetly better than the audio technicas wouldn‘t hurt 😉 I hope you don‘t take this the wrong way, I really like your content, but it just sounds way off for me and that‘s kinda dissapointing for a show that‘s 90% just about sound.
