Default Re: feet to millisecond conversion?

Quote:
Bryan, classical production from the viewpoint of an audience member is where time aligning tracks can be quite helpful. A quick shortcut for you:

Power up your system, hit record, then walk to the conductors position and give one really loud clap. You can then use that clap to time align everything...adding an extra millisecond or three to the spot mics for more effect.

No measuring or calculations needed.
Hey Chris, I did that once for a choral concert that I was recording, and I heard a guy in the back say "What the hell is he clapping for, did I miss something ?"


One of those where you had to be there

Take Care,
Gene
