pt 1: Can a "Bad" mic be EQed to sound "Good"? - Sound Speeds
Headphones strongly recommended.
Let's face it... we all have to start somewhere and if you've picked a career involving microphones that could mean an investment outright. You may not want to go full throttle and spend a lot of money on equipment because you're not certain it'll work out. Maybe you need to spend that money elsewhere like keeping the lights on.
You gotta do what you gotta do however when it comes to skimping on gear, is it possible to make cheap, low quality gear sound worthy enough to deliver? The short answer is NO, DON'T EVEN TRY IT! Your professional ear isn't developed yet and it's very difficult to fool a professional who listens to and expects high fidelity when you're working on a professional project especially if you're being paid.
If you know what to listen for and are working on a short project, your chances of pulling one over on a professional are higher. The longer you are recording on a mic, the greater your chances are of delivering inconsistent or unstable tracks. It's risky to even think about because if you're starting off a career, you don't want to risk your reputation before you even have one.
In this video I'm going to attempt to fool you, the viewer, into believing a $17 microphone is worthy enough stand with $400 microphones. I encourage honest participation so please use the comments section below to write your findings as you listen to this video.
Headphones strongly recommended for this video!
Remember, I'm not advocating for or recommending using less than great quality, pro audio gear but rather am conducting a test to see if a few minutes spent on processing is enough to make a short voiceover sound like it was recorded on a professional mic.

THE D
the-deity-bp-trx-review-you-need-to-see!
This took me over 100 hours to extensively test the Deity BP-TRX and I'm very excited about sharing my findings with you.
It should be noted that since the Connect is marketed as a professional wireless system, I'm testing it as such. I'll be very detailed and picky.
My main quest in this video was to test the "professional" BP-TRX against the expectations of professionals. If you're looking for an unboxing and basic testing then you might go elsewhere. I'm assuming that you've seen all the other videos online that have shown you the specs and done basic testing and now you're ready to join the big boys.

WHY T

Welcome to the thirty fourth episode of the Speed Bumps Podcast. On set, we listen to our audio feeds with headphones or IEMs but what we hear on set is different than what we hear when we listen in post. Here's why. Also, being the final episode of the year, I thought it was important to discuss the future of this podcast and whether or not it should continue.
0:00 Intro
0:13 Why things sound different on set
9:10 The future of the Speed Bumps Podcast
23:19 Outro

The relationships we have with members of other departments vary greatly depending on our role in the sound department. To a boom operator that lives on set, the closest relationships are very different than are the relationships between other members of the department. That said... to a boom operator, who are the Big 4?

Stepping away from set for one second could be just as catastrophic as turning your back on the ocean as the tide is rising. Not paying attention on set is even worse! In this video I'll go over things you need to pay attention to on set that will make the difference in you getting your tracks on a boom and not.

EQUIV

Equivalent Input Noise is a microphone spec that may seem confusing. What is it an equivalent to? Is it really a big deal? Can't we just digitally process out bad sound? In this video I'm going to explain EIN in a very simple way.

3BO:
3bo-acs-and-coolers-and-freezers-oh-my
Producers expect that everyone on a film set will magically be able to do their job without question. For us in the sound department, we need a lot of help if it's noisy. Anytime you're on location, and even when you're not, you have to deal with noisemakers that cool things. Sometimes it's a deep freeze keeping meat frozen, sometimes it's air conditioning units keeping the Director and producers happy and sometimes it's a refrigerator keeping wine cold for the restaurant you're shooting in. There are ways to handle them and in this video, I'll be talking about just that.
