There are not any microphones in the room. We recommend the following mics:
Neumann TLM 103 or U87
Audio Technica 4050 or 4033
Here is a wiki on setting up and recording with these microphones.
| Plug your mic into the booth. |

Open a new session 48KHz 24bit | |
This Message prompt will tell you that your audio is getting routed differently it is OK to click on NO you don't want a detailed report |

| To record your ADR, Record Arm the ADR_001 track. It should Flash Red when you press the record button |
|
| Press the red record button on the "Transport Tool" as well |
|
Place the marker where you wish to record and click Record Click and drag to select a portion you want to record |
|
| Click Play then play. Record mode will start and you will be recording whatever the mic picks up. |
|
In CMB 1.106B there is noticable "Rumble" on the VU in the ISO booth ith the U87. The VU should not be bouncing that high with no one talking |
|
This is what the rumble looks like through Insight. The low end should be much flatter, to create more of "noise floor" and less of a "noise valley" You'll want to get rid of this. If you have a professional mix for your class, leave it. The mixer will fix it...If not FOLLOW THIS WIKI |
|
To consolidate your files when you are finished recording you need to save them on to your hard drive. Go to >File>Save Session Copy In |
|
The next menu will come up and choose the "Session Format" allowing you to choose the current version running or a previous version of the software. |

Choose where you want to save the session copy and audio files |
