ADR AUTOMATED DIALOGUE REPLACEMENT Notes 18th May 2011

Notes on Recording ADR 18TH May with Bill and Tim

I recoded Tim today and I have learnt I need to be patient and really rehears with the talent. The actor need to really relax and listen to the character / rise n fall of the voice. I guess if it was your own voice your doing it would be easier then try to copy a voice/accent. 
Bill- found the timing really hard to copy and the pauses in the phrase. The accent was trick too.
I have now found it really hard to time match the words because there not on perfectly. It is taking up a lot of my time on the project.   


Note - Loop section and let it play and get the actor to
practice for a while and then record! Get the tightest take
on addition. 


Note- I was even thinking it would be good to get some room sounds 
of hollow places to add it to my project for the lab scene.

Sync up ADR with on location recording


How does it differ from Music Recording
-The artist had to be able to watch the video on screen to see how they deliver the performance!

- Microphone Choice 
- Microphone distance - (close-up or far-way) 
- "      "   Position (space)
  (bass response around chest area- higher area for higher tones)

-Softer signal - More gain requires (a whisper-intimate)

-Dynamic Control- ( Dramatic scene , angry, loud )

- Duckking- Adjusting level from music to dialogue 
When mixing it is good to cheek your mix on a TV-Some time you have to make the music a little louder!




Polor Patterns of Microphones
1. Hyper or Directional Mic (very direct)good for interview, cut out surrounding sounds 35o
2. Omni Directional - figure 8 360o (good for duets, open high hats)
3. Cardio (a wider pattern then Hyper)
