These are my comments on “Audio Isolation!” in the Videomaker, January 2005, Sound Advice column.
I found the column useful. I own headphones that I purchased for just such a purpose. I now resolve to always (try to) keep them on. IÂ’ve already caught myself with the mic off a couple of times. Usually I take them off after a little sound check but IÂ’ll try keeping them on or give them to someone else who can if possible. The author gave a lot of good examples of why they're valuable tools.
The sidebar about not using them for editing makes a lot of sense and is very useful.
The one thing I thought could have been added would have been to say the make and model that the author uses or recommends. I think someone who doesnÂ’t have a pair would find that useful.
I rated this article on-line but wanted to expand a little. Thanks for listening.
