Re: Field Mixing Tips for beginner

I'd bring the shotgun level down - if it's just an interview as you said, then intelligibility is going to be the key aim. All you really want the shotgun track to do is add a bit of natural reverb and a touch of background noise so that the sound doesn't seem massively out of place compared to the visual shot.

You might want to EQ the shotgun track a bit too - play around to see what sounds best, but I'd certainly high-pass it at

least.

Hopefully you can get a perfectly usable mix that way.
