According to Vashi, a few of his favorite are: When all else fails, there's always a few a general rules and hacks that will usually help to produce acceptable quality audio.

If you solo the dialog and EQ in a vacuum - you wonвЂ™t hear how itвЂ™s interacting with the environment and the mix. Also - I like to EQ dialog while the music, background sound and room tone is playing. Even a slight improvement will make the entire mix sound better. Often the mic will be too far from an actor and you will hear boomy, reverie dialog -В First apply a ParametricВ EQ at 300Hz with -4db and a Q=2.В This can remove some of the вЂњroom boominessвЂќ.В The second Parametric EQ at 4kHz with +6db and a Q=.25В will brighten up the dialog. At the other end, apply the same technique to get rid of sizzles, squeaks and high-pitched noise. You can do this using a 'high pass' filter, like so (yours may look different, this is from FL Studio 11, but the end result is the same).

These hacks involve the parametric EQВ and the 30 band equalizer, which are two basic features found on every NLE and Digital Audio Workstation ( n.b.,В the number of bands on your equalizer may vary.) And now, without further ado, a few of Vashi's tips on EQing:ДЄt the bottom end, roll off frequencies below 100hz to remove rumbles, wind, and other low end noises that can muddy up your dialogue. These run from very low 'rumble' sounds at about 31hz, all the way to 16khz, or the sound of, as the graphic below puts it, 'air.' (The chartВ comes via Warbeats, which is a site primarily for electronic music production, but an excellent general resource.) They primarily concentrate on FL, or as it is more commonly known, Fruity Loops, as their DAW of choice, but the rules are the same from program to program, since Vashi, and we, are only going to be concentrating on a few small hacks you can apply to your audio. Okay, so, roughly, there areВ a narrowВ band of frequencies audible to the human ear.

The audio is the glue that holds it together and sells it as a professional production. It will be perceived as the DirectorвЂ™s вЂњartistic choiceвЂќ even though shots are out of focus and flaying around.

Great visuals with crappy sound screams - вЂњI am an amateur!вЂќ Conversely, lots of blurry, handheld, whip-panned footage with pristine dialog and a full soundscape can be completely acceptable. To paraphrase the always edifying Vashi Nedomansky, in his excellent post on the subject, 'garbage in, garbage out,' i.e., what you get on location is what you have to work with in post, therefore, there is only so much 'fixing it in the edit' that you can actually get away with. One of the most important steps you can take is, while shooting, to be sure that you capture quality sound.

For many filmmakers, sound is something to be turned over to, and handled by a professional, and this is definitely the best bet if you can afford it, but if you can't (and even if you can), it still pays to know a little about how to manipulate the soundtrack of your film,В because as an indie filmmaker you should be a jack of all trades, and sound is a big trade in the picture show business. All of your levels are good, nothing is peaking or clipping (sounding terrible) and you are working on your edit on your NLE of choice. And withВ the concomitant proliferation of audio technology (specifically DAWs, or Digital Audio Workstations),В there's no excuse for an indie filmmaker not to educate themselves in the art of noise.В Click through for five tips on EQingВ sound, for filmmakers! The art of manipulating sound is an occult practice, mysterious and daunting to outsiders, though in reality, like almost everything, a little education goes a long way and the information is out there if you look for it since manyВ filmmakers, though, are taught from the beginning (at least I was), to shoot MOS and concentrate solely on the visual, with sound a distant second, it can be a blind spotВ in their skill set, but a vital skill.
