Document Summary
Ambient sound: cardioid mic (directional, omnidirectional mic. Use headphones if possible (remember, not everyone uses the same headphones as you ) Mic technique strong levels, distance from mic, popping, peaking (overloading the microphone, too much audio, sounds gargled) Post-production: never fix it in post , light editing trimming out handling noise , splicing multiple pieces together, adjusting audio levels. What is sound? (two definitions: phenomenological (deals with experience) definition sound is a human auditory sensation, perception and experience of the world. Bodily sensation that occurs when vibrations are picked up by the ear: positivistic definition (more scientific) sound is vibratory force in the external world. Vibrations in a material medium and of range of frequencies within and beyond the range of human hearing. What we call sound is actually a narrow slice or band of the vibratory field, much of which cannot be heard by humans.
