Reverb, there's no sound dampening.

It's kind of a knockley environment There's also in a warehouse, you know kind of like bleeds out bleeds in the thing about that microphone is like it's just shitty enough that it replicates the the kind of bad environment and it's Important because the size of the room I was recording was just a regular bedroom, but it kind is roughly the size of that room It's not a barrel shaped but you know

so it's important to remember it's not about the best highest quality equipment that you could possibly get especially when you're doing ADR because you didn't you might have had good equipment but you didn't have a controlled environment when you're recording it on set and almost all of the stuff in the movie still sounds good because it just has that room and if you have a clean room with no reverb it's not going to sound as good because well it won't sound right because it won't match everything else

right okay there you go that's my lesson about i do like that that's very funny i've definitely watched movies and tv where they're like the the dialogue has a certain quality to it and then you get to a moment where they clearly did it did some adr or to put something in and they're like then we go outside

It's not even like it's bad audio.

It's just like jarring when there's nothing happening but a person talking, but you're like, did we just teleport?

Did we time travel?

What happened?

Some water log in my ear.

Yeah, I've heard of situations where actors sometimes refuse to go into an ADR studio to go do something and they just record it on their phone.

And sometimes there are bad ADR just because the actor didn't or couldn't make it into a sound booth.

But at the same time,

uh working with caroline who was who's uh ava in the the movie i think i can say her name now um i would sometimes say you know you could just record this on your phone it's gonna come through a shitty it's gonna sound like a shitty speaker anyway so it might work for it she's like no no no i'll make time i'll go to the studio it's no problem and i'm like all right like i totally respect the the work ethic and admiration for it and i'm like i want you to have a professional environment

And and setting yourself away from the highest quality things can allow you to see the options that are there that I never would have considered because it is a goddamn microphone in a monitor.

You would never even have used that accidentally.

Like, it's weird that that came up and it wasn't like you recorded on your phone or some on your YouTube setup or something.

You were just like, fuck, whatever this fucking thing.

It's plugged in.

Let's do it.

It's plugged in.
