I always did that in the past, because I didn't have a studio, but I assumed it was amateruish .... That said, it worked beautifully, and didn't sound like ADR at all. |

Re: How To : The ADR Gospel
This is all great stuff!
I do a little bit of ADR here and there (probably 1 session every couple of months) so its good to hear from the people in the know. I don't have a lapel mic at all, and generally work with a couple of 416s, one close, one about 4 feet back. (Or swap the close mic for a U87 if requested) One thing I was wondering, how many takes do you guys average per cue? and does the recordist do any editing on the fly. (I often cut and finesse takes on the go.) Personally I think there is nothing worse than bad ADR. I was watching a show last night and the opening scene was all ADR, and it was out of sync, it didn't sound spacially right, and the preformances were wooden. No matter how good the pictures are, if the dialog isn't working, then the whole scene falls on its butt. |

Amen brotha.
Also - matching mics is always a good idea if possible. |

Re: How To : The ADR Gospel
Re. Fantastic Mr. Fox, that's a brilliant clip!
Its probably obvious but I thought worth mentioning - I think it's vital to get the actor in the same situation as they are in vision. So for instance if the actor is lying down or sitting, the actor should replicate this position during ADR where possible. In the past when I have mixed what I recorded, sometimes I have got actors to turn off mic or move away from the mic to match the action in vision... obviously this leaves you with a more inflexible recording but sometimes it makes things feel more natural.

Re: How To : The ADR Gospel
Hi friends,
I'm new to ADR, I've done it twice successfully but I'm always wanting to learn better and more efficient ways to work. I'll have a big session soon, so I'm loving this thread right now. I've seen in bigger stages they have a visual cue that helps the actor with timing. I'm wondering about some different techniques you guys use as far as visual and audio cues goes. What I have done the last few times is to create 3 beeps, 3 seconds apart before the dialogue. It worked but left me thinking, is there a better way? Does anyone use anything like VoiceQ? Thanks in advance! AL. |

Re: How To : The ADR Gospel
I think this is one of the most important and mostly overlooked factors in good ADR.
