captionWhen doing any kind of recording, the issue of multiday
sessions will arise. And that brings up the challenge of keeping
the sound of instruments and voices consistent over two, three or
more days.a hrefhttptwitter.com!RandyCoppinger targetblankRandy
Coppingera is a pro mixer who has many years of experience with
voice recording, including the multiday session scenario. Here are
some quick tips he offered on Twitter today on coping with this and
keeping things consistent.blockquoteulliWhen you start recording
again, listen to what you did last time with the actor. Play himher
in so they can match.liliTry to sneak a pic no flash! of the actor
at the mic so you can have the height and general position
documented.liliBetter yet, just ask if heshe minds if you take pics
during the recording. Posed pics are not as reliable.liliPeoples
voices change a little bit from day to day. Try to work at the same
time of day for each session if you can.liliMake note of beverages
and their temperature hot or cold at the first session. Offer the
same subsequently.liliTake detailed notes of the mic pad, rolloff
plus everything in the acquisition chain and settings to use again
subsequently.liliUsually its important to put the mic in the same
location within the room. In some rooms it may not be a big deal,
but in little rooms with low ceilings in can make a big difference.
Get the same basic position in the room. Dont sweat it down to the
inches though. Ill often get an actor to perform some standing,
some sitting...totally different mic positions. Its usually not a
huge problem.liulblockquote
