I am seldom so super excited about tech because I usually research everything to the Nth degree...and therefore usually find so many doubts. Not with this baby!
The Lewitt Ray condenser microphone is a gamechanger. Once I get mine, I will put it to every test that I am already thinking of, but as one can see in the attached video, it is already passing tests that are awesome. Oh, and per the video - Glenn is quite sarcastic, so even his video title is sarcastic. He actually really loves the mic.
What it should further do for all that I work on in the entertainment field, though...?
1 - Vocals for music recording. No vocalist likes to just stand static and belt out what they're feeling. This mic with its proximity adjustments to keep same levels will help a ton.
2 - Vocals for ADR when it comes to dubbing film / dialogue audio. Same as above. It's a chore for actors who are new to or are veterans to ADR - being able to just sit still at the same distance of the mic and yet emoting and even making head / hand actions. There will be no proximity level highs or lows at all anymore. YAY!
3 - As seen in the video, it can be used for a boom mic to record film audio from the start (boom the whole room, if you will). What I will be quick to test is having multiple folks in the same room / scene, obviously how quick it adjusts to if any one of them walks past the mic in the shot / scene and if the mic ever gets confused with folks moving back and forth in the shot / scene, as well.
4 - I want to see what it does in the case of being a mounted mic in motion per a filmed sequence and what it wants to track - while at the same time setting that proximity distance it has to see if it will focus on one or more actors staying within said set proximity the entire shot. I.E. will it work out perfectly for a "found footage / documentary" style film shoot!? It could be incredible to making such guerilla style filming so much easier.
