[Avid-L2] Semi-OT: Double-system or Sound on Camera?

 

Hey Everyone,

I'd love to hear your perspective as editors/post on this.

I do a fair amount of work as a location sound mixer. I'm thinking of buying a new hop to send audio from my bag to camera. But the thing is, I'm doing fewer jobs where we send high-quality audio to the camera. A lot more scratch track and/or timecode (or timecode & sync). I don't do much narrative and advertising work where I expect double-system. More news mag, documentary, and mid/high-level corporate (and I don't do much reality/unscripted, either). I wonder if my experience is anomalous, or if it matches what you all see. And what do you prefer?

Are you seeing more of some sort of double-system audio in the doc/public-affairs/corporate work you do?

How do you prefer to get and match audio? Sound on Tape (card/camera/whatever)? Scratch track on camera & separate audio files? TC or TC+Sync & separate audio files? Scratch & TC on camera & separate audio? Other?

Let's assume (since I own) Sound Devices audio recorders. I.e, top quality...not little Zooms or something.

And what do you expect sound on camera to increase or decrease in the coming years?

Thanks!
