Yeah, you pretty much have to like up the boom to the lav in that example. Too much reality tends to be distracting. smart phone my ass |

Re: What are people's experiences with Auto-Align-Post?
Haha!
Glad I got the “theory” questioning out of my head. Well, I’m thoroughly enjoying having Auto-Align in my arsenal. Having just finished my first project with it, and quickly realized why “syncing” the lav to the boom is preferred. It’s most apparent with scenes with two or more who speak. If there are 3 people, the boom will have varying delays with each “direct” radio mic, so aligning the boom was much more likely to get weird artifacts with all the aligning. Aligning the few radio clips that I found were needed to mix with the booms was easier and only tried to align that person against the boom, not everyone in the boom track to the multiple radios. It also looked more in sync and natural to use the boom as the anchor. I found that the other way around I was frame-fudging one character a frame here and there to check its sync. Very weird! Quote:

I think the opposite is implied - prefer the sound of booms, prefer the timing of lavs. It really should be splitting hairs, as 3 meters of distant from the source equates to just 1ms of difference in timing... but I too have landed on booms aligned to lavs. It is more work, but it sounds tighter and more consistent than the opposite way around. Auto Align Post is definitely an amazing tool!

Re: What are people's experiences with Auto-Align-Post?
Keep in mind that radio mikes might have delay time because of digital processing. And in most recorders one can change track delay times. So some mixers fiddle around with this possibility. So I think syncing to a boom is more secure ( as long as it is hard wired). Great plugin. Saves me days.

Re: What are people's experiences with Auto-Align-Post?
It's really situational which mic to align to the other isn't it? If you have a very strong boom that's doing 80 percent of the work, and you just need to fill in a little bit with lavs, then you would align the lavs to the boom. But if the lav is the dominant mic, and the boom is pretty wide, then aligning the lav to the boom would mess with your dominant signal affecting clarity. Then there is all sorts of middle ground... I still haven't figured out how to handle every situation and I think there are some situations that auto align doesn't do any help at all... but I definitely don't think that one solution fits all scenarios and projects. Not to diminish how helpful it is in many situations.
