OutrageProductions Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 OK, so… I’m gonna tell y’all a little story from my days in a real studio. One day in ’94, I was doing an ADR (Automated [or Additional] Dialog Replacement) session for a film project where the talent was one of the two stars from “Lethal Weapon” (DG) for a private client. As he starts to read through the script and gets comfortable, I keep thinking “Man, this guy really needs to get a better fitting set of dentures, or this day is gonna be a nightmare”. I scramble into the EQ… that helps but doesn’t solve the issue I’m hearing on the C12 mic. So I quickly patch in a frequency variable D-Esser. Then… daisychain another and set a different frequency. Close, but no cigar. OK… for the first time in my career, I patch in a third D-Esser in series and finally tame the monster sibilance issue. Finally happy, I lock sync on the U-matic ¾” video playback and start rolling. Five hours of this. On playback, the talent said “I don’t think that I’ve ever sounded so good. Thanks!” And I managed to survive. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there was a nice pop screen between the talent and that poor C12! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
