Re: Field Mixing Tips for beginnerActually the real thing you have to worry about is who will we editing it and how much care will they take with the audio. One location sound person I know has had editors just take the lav and boom track and bring them both up to the same level and leave it like that. You can guess how that will sound. So now he refuses to give them 2 tracks, he mixes it on the fly to sound as good as he can. You need to communicate with the people you are working for to see what they want and will the editor take the time to work with what they are given to make it as good as it can be or do they not spend any editing time on the sound.I would question the choice of the boom mic and the usage if it sounds that bad compared to an omni directional lav, I assume that it is an omni lav.
