Build Home Studio to Record Voice Over

Beraudiovisual’s friends, are you need to put a home studio to record the voice for home videos, indie/independent productions, film and more?

Do you have a computer with a sound card that can act as your DVR? Just add a little low-cost equipment and recording software on your PC, and can produce high quality recordings of voice easily and efficiently. What other equipment do you need?

Microphone.

To get your voice on your computer, you need a microphone. Do not use a bit of shit comes with your computer. High quality abundant cheap microphones and sound much better than that crap. For work in basic votes, I suggest that SM58 Shure SM57 is or. They are rugged, dynamic microphone that sounds good. The SM58 is ideal for female voice, as it reduces wheezing (Esses excessive) in some way. Men can choose from. The two microphones are available from music or audio equipment suppliers for less than Rp. 850.000. Also, get a microphone cable and a desktop computer a good position to hold the microphone while speaking.

Mic preamp.

Microphones put a small amount of electricity that the signal must be amplified. Sound card microphone preamplifier includes necessary. Unfortunately, like the cheapo mic that comes with the box, most of the mic preamps sound card is too noisy for serious work. If necessary you can use, but at least use a better microphone.
For the preamp, you can choose a small mixer to work with your microphone or a dedicated unit. Mixers essentially allows to connect several microphones and other devices (like a CD player) in one location and adjust their volumes independently. The Behringer mixer EURORACK MX602A between 6 microphone inputs, level control, and cost less than Rp. 500.000 Alternatively, two good choices for stand-alone mic preamps include DBX mini pre-tube preamp and the ART Tube MP Studio V3 preamp. Both are under Rp. 1.000.000 and available from the same sources mentioned above.

If you do not invest a lot of high-quality recording microphones, faulty, and your computer's audio interface. Two better choices are mic. For the purposes of pre-amplifier, select a device interface and preamp combination of audio, such as equipment Duo Edirol UA-5 or M-Audio.

Speakers and headphones.

While your computer speakers are adequate for recording, editing and finishing of basic laptops built to serve no purpose. Invest in some decent powered speakers, such as the Roland MA-8 micro monitors, and use them instead. Play back your recordings on a variety of stereo systems, car, etc. to control how they could be transferred to other environments. You can not listen to the speakers when you save, because they receive feedback when the microphone is on. Wear closed-ear noise that keeps leaking them to be picked up by the microphone.

Recording software.

Choose recording software with editing facilities to correct errors, the compilation of the best pieces, add music and / or sound effects, creating special effects, and deliver your finished voice tracks in the formats you need. A "light" version of a program of professional recording is Sonic Foundry, Sound Forge Studio.

Recording space in silence.

Its aim is to record a track clear, intimate voice, and that means keeping noise and the sound of the room outside the recording is finished. Professional recording in a sound booth specifically designed to keep noise and the sounds they make beautiful voice. These costs thousands of dollars and are a little more realistic for informal work. An article full, walk-in works as a taxi of his fortune, however.

Getting a good

The basic integrated sound card has three connectors: Mic-in, line and the line (or headphones) to the outside. Connect the device to connect the microphone to the mixer (or preamp), and connect the device to the output of the line sound card Connect the headphones, too. (If you have dedicted external interface that plugs into that. E 'connected to a computer via a USB port.)

Next, set the volume to a mixer (or preamp), using the controls and level meters. Start talking, watch his feet, and slowly turn up the volume until you get to almost 0 (zero), without going over.

Start the software that controls your sound card (it's usually the little speaker icon in the system tray). This is where you choose your recording source (LINE IN) and adjust its volume. Put this on 100% all the way up, and check your recording levels with your external mixer or preamp.

Start with audio recording software and get ready to save. Records mono, not stereo and CD quality (16 bit and 44kHz sample rate). You will notice that the audio software is not set the level of control, but do not rely on the meters when recording. Never, never more than 0 (zero) to a digital level meter. All this above the level of the distorted sound bad. He wants all the loud noise would fall below 0 for most digital well below the level (between -6 - 15 dB).

Mic technique

Greatly improve the sound recordings, closer to the microphone. The farther away from you, the more you earn the room around you. Your voice sounds thin and distant, like a movie at home. Closer, and your voice is intimate, the voice of the narrator prototype. Another advantage is closer to the microphone, you can increase the lower frequencies in your voice, and that can make the sound more powerful. How close? Put your lips 4-6 inches apart, about the width of your hand. Do not speak into the microphone. Instead, the position above the nose pointed down to his lips. Also, do not place the mic dead center of the lips. Move slightly to the right, for example, 20 degrees off axis. This leaves a clear understanding of the script, too.

Of course, finding their area of registration of any aircraft noise, such as computer fans. Put some distance between the microphone and the noise source. Also, avoid salty foods immediately before the recording session. It takes a little close to the warm water and apply some lip balm. They keep the mouth and lips lubricated. Eating a few slices of apple can help overcome the dryness of the mouth, too.

When you are ready to save, turning away from the microphone. Take a deep breath. Exhale. Take another deep breath. Open your mouth, back to the microphone and begin speaking. This technique eliminates the net consumption of smell and lip breathing, which often occurs when you start talking.

Speak slowly and clearly. You can always increase the recording during the editing stage. If you make a mistake, return to the closest phrase to start again and continue, even if you only one or two voice errors. Cut in a voice or phrase is difficult and does not seem natural.

Editing Records

There is no need to nail all in one take. Record the highest number of run-through, and the need to assemble the best of the last recording. Listen and evaluate what you did. Everything is there that you need? Sound good? It is the right level (not too low, does not distort)? Otherwise, go back and re-record the bits you need, listen, and repeat until you are satisfied.

Change the sound is like editing a voice processing program. You will not see the voices, but you can not see two-dimensional presentation of voices as sound waveforms. And you can hear the voices while playing. You can manipulate the waveforms as a move from voices on the Voice Processor. Cut, copy, paste all the techniques you're already familiar with the subject during audio editing.

Before you start editing, turn off the microphone, disconnect the headphones, speakers and go. It 'clear, to remove what is not necessary, as a clear his throat before he started talking, no talking between takes, strange voices, and so on. After removing the waste, to move towards improved performance. If you have several companies in the script, finding the best takes and build the last version of them.

Listen to the fundamental changes they make. I think that taking a long break, you can approach the records again with fresh ears. You can do better? The volume is constant? Do you hear noise, background noise or other unwanted parts could be eliminated or reduced?

After editing the voice, you can add sound effects or music to soften the last version. To add music with Sound Forge, open the music file on your audio software, select and copy to the clipboard. You may have to cut the music to match the duration of the voice recording in the first place. Next, place the cursor at the beginning of the voice recording and select Edit; Paste special blend. "Here you can control the level of the music (source) in connection with his voice (target). Ensure that the mixture again to ensure that you can listen to the recording of voice clearly with the background music.

As a last step, the use of software standardization process to maximize the volume of the audio recording. Select the entire signal and normalization of -0.10 dB (98.86%). Save this file in audio format you need, for example, MP3.

Now, you are ready to have a great voice over!

The Most Powerful Weapon of Filmmaker

The most important low-budget filmmaker is creative mind. It all starts with the original idea, there is a question of nourishment that thought until it grows to be a great idea. After that, it's something to this idea of making the film in every ounce of energy and resources, you may be able to bring up.

Movies are the most successful film festivals these days with films that were made in a fraction of the cost required to make a major Hollywood film studio. Technological advances have made that anyone can make a film. Film cameras, video cameras, sound recording equipment, and almost any other type of equipment you need to make a film can be bought at a very affordable price today. The computer that is available these days can provide a low-budget film with a very low production value that looks like James Cameron had something to do with the project. This professional look, along with a unique story can help any film likely to be accepted into film festivals such as Busan Film Festival, AVFEST (AVIKOM Festival), Toronto Film Festival, Sundance, etc.

Try as they might, the major Hollywood film studios never have a monopoly on creativity. They spend millions of dollars on search marketing in an effort to understand exactly what the audience of the film is the appearance of the world when they go to the films. Despite these efforts, we still have not found a formula. The tastes of the people going to the films are hard to predict how an earthquake is on the ground changes all the time. Because of this, the door remains open for creative professionals in the world to enter the game. All you need to do is come up with a unique idea that can turn into a film, enter your film in festivals such as Sundance, and then let the judges decide. While large studies have attempted to take over the festival circuit in recent years, provided the children with small, however, films are king creative in this realm.

It does not cost as much as you might think to make a film, that you can participate in competitions such as the Sundance Film Festival. Sony plans to release a line of high-definition camcorders that are perfect for those who want to make films with small budget. Even if the films are made of these cameras is described as a "film" (as the films were from the beginning), are (almost) seem to have been. These new cameras are able to provide high quality images, which is comparable to the image that the film offers. Two cameras are the PDW-F330 and PDW-F350, and offer all types of film properties, even the most faithful to the film a professional director to be respected. Both cameras offer true 24p recording in SD or HD, interval recording of shooting and recording a pair of lenses. F350 model also offers true variable frame rate recording which is also called "slow motion / fast motion" features.

Features like this are invaluable for anyone to make a low budget film, because it allows them to include motion effects in their films without the help of a cheap film camera or a film lab to high prices . Both cameras will be on the market in March 2006. The F350 costs about 25 000, while the F330 model will cost only about $ 16,000. PDW-F30 decks will be available in June through the 9000th These are small prices to pay to be a self sufficient independent filmmaker.

A filmmaker on a budget you can invest in an HD video camera and relatively cheap housing and have everything you need to make films as well as the mind and body can handle. All you need after a creative mind, a few thousand dollars, some friends of his actors and ambitious team, the screenwriting software such as Final Draft and a strong desire to make a film. They do not have to worry about the high cost of film, developing film, or film to DVD transfer. All you need is your camera and a $ 30 drive (23.3 GB) and will be filming an entire film. Buy a camera records is much cheaper than the films and buying all the baggage that comes with it financial.

When they shoot their film with one of these cameras, a filmmaker on a budget goes directly to their computer with the disk and start editing it using one of the many editing programs available that are affordable to our days such as Final Cut Pro. They can do all the work of post-production for their films on their computer at home as long as they are willing to take a load of the mother of their professional responsibilities.

Technology has made independent filmmakers to bypass many costly steps in the process of the film. Instead of paying a lot of people in millions of rupiahs an hour to film services are available only in cities like Jakarta and Bandung, they can now do all of these steps in the comfort of their own home on their own computer.

For anyone who has ever had a dream of making his own film, there's no better time than now to get there. The playing field was leveled in terms of technology, but also need a creative story to get anywhere on the festival circuit. Affordable equipment can be put down, but we must make a good game to win. A creative mind is your best player in this game, so if you have that part in charge of you are half way to make your vision a reality film. Feed your creative idea until it becomes a single script, then devote his life to making the script into a film. If your idea is as good as you think it is what you will do very well on the festival circuit. If this happens, could lead to a distribution agreement decent film. If you stick with it and keep making films that you can even find that you have made a career as a professional artist who makes independent films, and that dreams really can come true.

Types of Cameras

Studio Cameras

The camera of this type in addition to having its own capabilities there are also some adjustment is controlled, the tool named camera control unit or better known as the CCU. As with other types of camera systems, studio cameras will be resting on alignment circuits but the digital techniques now have pre-set at all tuning circuitry, especially in a modern studio camera.
Due to the size of the studio cameras are very severe then the studio cameras are usually mounted on a dolly to be moved or shifted subtly.

Broadcast Camera Portable

The camera of this type is more slender, suitable for use in studios and in the field. With a zoom lens and the viewfinder is larger then the portable cameras are also used in the production studio. And because it is more slender than studio camera, the camera unit is able to work in the field directly. Portable camera has all the necessary circuitry and has an automatic functions. The camera of this type also has a videotape recorder as part of the camera body. Lightweight Lightweight Camera or Camera For the needs of manufacturers in the field also makes the type of camera light. Similar to the type of portable cameras, but these types of cameras even smaller. Can be used hand-held or tripod use. Small Camera This camera is more popularly known as camcorders. Kind of small, made as consideration for a cheap price. Used for home use, camcorders often found on the market. Electronic Sinematrography this camera type is the type of television camera designed with characters who resemble movie cameras. Using a tape which then transferred into celluloid form.

Parts of the Camera

Normal television cameras specially designed to suit specific applications. A studio camera for example, has a large viewfinder so the cameraman can easily correct the focus accurately. A news cameraman would be more comfortable with a compact camera as it is easy to carry even have to move where. Lens of the camera lens is the "eye" that berfugsi receive images naturally. The camera lens has peyesuai area, this type of lens called a zoom lens., But a fixed lens system most widely used. Beam Splitter (splitter light) In the system of color tv, color natural images sebenanya divided into three identical versions of the light is red, green and blue direflesikan of a subject. This can be done by three methods, namely

    Dichroic mirror
    Special block prism
    or striped Filter

The camera tube, solid-state image sensors (CCD) Simply put, the top of the television cameras have 3 componen tube, divided into red, green, and blue in color images. Information in detail and brightness (luminance) emitted from the received composite color wave. CCD video camera now has a sophisticated, according to the types of cameras who were excluded. The location of the viewfinder Viewfinder lajimnya at least over the camera or on the left side of the camera. Viewfinder has yayar monochrome or black and white, but now there is also that already has a color screen. Mounting the camera mounting is the very bottom of the camera that function to rest the camera on a tripod, so the camera can be moved as desired from the cameraman.

Camera Control

All types of cameras have three sequence control: To re-adjustment during the retrieval gambarPenyesuaian diinginkanAtau condition when the change when the camera is "silenced alone". In most studio cameras tuned control on CCU separate from the camera. A Man CCU will control the color balance of light and dark and the other so the resulting images can be maximized. So a cameraman will concentrate on the framing alone. The question is, what if the cameraman using a portable camera or camera combo So the camera settings a cameraman must have the ability to set the camera settings. Camera Lenses camera lens camera is the eye or heart of the camera itself, a cameraman should be concerned right. System on the camera lens normally has three adjustment or adjustments that can be adjusted manually or semi-automatic. Focus, setting the distance where the image should be clear / fokus.f-stop, setting the variable iris diaphragm in lensaZoom, change the focal distance (focal length) adjusted how many views / images can be achieved. Overall that can be done on the control lens is that image or shot can be clear / focus, the image can have a depth or depth of field fine day, shot a good angle, and the "size" of the desired image. Angle lenses generally have a proportion of 4:3 television screen. The camera lens can normally capture images with the same proportion, 4:3. This becomes the reference count of how we can harness angle lens or angle lens. In addition to the normal lens, there are also narrow lens for shooting distant and widelens, to get an image more broadly. Control the zoom control serves to zoom closer to or away objects. This key code found on the W (wide angle) and T (Telephoto). If the zoom button is pressed on the W code then the picture or object appear closer (zoom in), if the zoom control dg T code pressed then the object will stay away (zoom out). Focus To make the image into focus, set or adjust the lens focus ring rotat. It can also be adjusted by changing the zoom control. Focus will also be much easier if the object that we have enough light shooting. f-numbers (f-stops) f-stop can actually be counted. It's just like the still photo lens (tustel). These figures are f/1.4 2 2.8 4 5.6 8 11 16 22 32. In fact these figures could be 3.5 4.5 3.6 typically used. For example in the first aperture of f / 8 to f / 4 means brighter images fourfold. In order to have a good depth of field should have adequate lighting. Exposure and Iris People often assume that a good picture is a bright picture. In fact this is not always true. The truth is that if an object has the correct tones. In a standard camera has an auto-iris, if this facility is enabled, then the lens will automatically set them, open the lens cavity. Auto-iris is useful when a cameraman have to move around the place where the lighting is not necessarily the same. Unfortunately, if this facility is used sometimes object to be not constant. So the good news is that this facility is used first, then use a manual iris. If moving the location or do it with different lighting auto iris back, estela it back to manual.

Types of Mounting

Monopods

Camera Tripod

    Collapsible Tripod
    Pneumatic Tripod
    Rolling Tripod or Tripod Dolly

Camera Pedestal

Pedestal Field

Pedestal Studio

Camera Crane

    Crane-arm
    Motorized dolly

Equipment should be prepared before shooting

In order not to miss any shooting equipment, usually made Pre-rehearseal checkout list. Among them:

    Preliminaries (camera checked whether alive? Or need to warm up first)
    Camera cable (make sure all the cables nicely)
    Mounting / placemat camera
    Viewfinder
    Cable guards (serves to secure the camera)
