Let me start off by saying that my audio recording experience is very limited as you can probably tell from the questions...
I am currently using a shotgun mic with blimp and wind sock going through a XLR cable into a Tascam recorder... I record primarily outside and there is always
unwanted noise I'm fighting with... traffic, planes, garbage truck, ect... I keep the mic just out of camera view from above and it does pretty well but I would like to
see if I can get it a little better... I recently discovered Lavalier mics and it seems that it might be the solution...
This is what I was thinking and please correct me if I'm wrong...
I would like to keep using the shotgun mic in XLR left in as I have been but also add a Lavalier in the Right in...
Then in post find a % between the two that gives the best results... for example using 70% from the Lavalier and 30% from the boom...
Am I thinking this through correctly ?
Also can the Countryman B6 record directly into the Tascam with a XLR Cable ?
I currently use the shotgun mic with phantom power... can the Countryman B6 be power with phantom power ?
I really appreciate any help
