Bubblebee for life! Subbed ✔️

[@stevenfarrell6312]

Really good video. Very clear and precise. Have you ever tried the URSA foamies? They are my main go-to solution from drama to current affairs. You can use them in conjunction with the rycote O ring and an URSA under/ overcover to eliminate wind noise without compromising audio quality.

[@onseteducation921]

The foamies always seemed a bit bulky for inbetween the placket of a button-up shirt to me. I can see how using them with a safety pin taped on to attach to a shirt for like a sweaty athlete where adhesive will get damp could be useful but I haven’t made too much use of the foamies besides as spacers on my Tx antennaes. Maybe I’ll give them another look. I’ve def had great luck with Ursa mini mounts and Bubblebee mounts and the over cover/fur sandwich. Thanks for watching!

[@stevenfarrell6312]

@onseteducation921 I have had great results with them. A lot of the freelance sound mixers here (in Ireland) would use them. Great for polo shirts, scarves, and winter wool coats. I find that with the Bubblebee Mount, you can run into problems with men that have "business" shirts that are tight fitting and aren't 100% cotton. Any movement from the contributor will cause you severe problems. As does stubble rubbing on the collar of a man's shirt/ puffa/leather jacket! I always try and use an overhead boom for interviews.

[@onseteducation921]

For sure - which is why the Ursa mini mount with my own added paperclip extension - or the overcover-fur-sandwich are my two go-to low-profile methods. I've also had great luck using the sandwich in scarves as the fur keeps the fabric away from the capsule. I always use a boom, unless the framing is too wide. I'll do some ursa foam tests soon!

I am using a Mke2. There is cable noise, and the Mke2 cable is made of wire, so it cannot be folded. What should I do?

[@onseteducation921]

First determine of what you are hearing is the cable or if it is the lav mount rubbing wardrobe. Make a loose loop about 6-8” below capsule and tape the wire down. Make sure there is some room between mic capsule and first tape-down for the actor to move. Tape the loose wire a couple times on wardrobe or on the body.

[@alejandropargaa]

are there any lav mic mounts you would recommend for the Tascam DR-10L??

[@onseteducation921]

I generally would not recommend hiding a lav with the DR10L because you can’t monitor the sound and make tweaks as needed like you can with wireless setups. You’d just be hoping and trusting that whatever you choose works out and you won’t know until after the take when you review it. The DR10L setup is typically best for broadcast clips on the outside of garments for the best sound. But, if you had to use a hidden mount then you might consider a moleskin sandwich and some Joe’s sticky stuff and tape it to skin.

[@alejandropargaa]

@@onseteducation921 thanks for the reply! Appreciate the advice 🙏🏽

[@TeddyRumble]

​@@onseteducation921I just use a Bumblebee mount, stick ot inside the shirt, against the skin. Difficult to see, and no clothes rustle.

[@TeddyRumble]

Lav bullet?

[@onseteducation921]

Yes. Lav bullet.
