- In this chapter,…we're going to explore how you can find…and repair audio problems.…Let's step into 06-01 Marking Ranges…and see what the situation is.…Well, this is a great scene…of Joseph and his dad reconnecting.…The only challenge is,…it was recorded on location at the beach.…There's a lot of background sound…such as waves and seagulls,…and even the crew talking.…Take a listen at a couple of sections…and you'll hear for yourself.…
(muffled background noise)…- So, you got a design for me?…- Well, as you can see,…even when the actors are speaking,…you're fighting the wind.…You could spend a lot of time trying to repair that…using filters and equalizers,…but the easiest solution…is simply to remove the sound that was recorded live…and replace it with audio where the actors were in a studio…and recorded it cleanly,…and that's exactly what we're going to do.…
As a matter of fact, we have clean audio…from both Joseph and Mr. Dalton,…and I've marked these already with the best takes…and even key worded them to save you some trouble.…
