The Next Sound You Hear...

An audio technician in New York approached the folks at Blip TV to see if any of their shows could use the help of a pro audio guy in his spare time.

The Blip folks forwarded him to us, as they say, "not because you have such terrible audio that you need a specialized audio guy...but because you have a lot going on in your episodes and I think this guy is looking for more of a challenge."

So the audio guy watched the show and dropped me a line, suggesting that he thinks we have a good thing already, but what we could really use is a better audio mix. He suggested I upload the original files, including audio from each of our sources -- boom mic, camera mic, lapel mic, room mic, etc. -- and let him fiddle with it to improve the mix.

That's when I explained that we don't actually HAVE an audio mix.

We have one microphone. Which I attach to the top of the camera.

Needless to say, we won't be working with a professional audio guy from New York in the immediate future...
