I just figured a single person cluttering around at the interviewees house struggling with wireless-set, compressor, mixer and recorder (which might be laptop + external interface) which all need power and a lot of cords to connect them and something doesn't work as it should and the interviewee has only limited time for you and you waste it by adjusting levels on three-to-four different devices... I think (*) the simpliest solution for on the field recording and offline processing would be a single sphere-condensor-mic with a small recorder. and doing compression etc. afterwards in the studio when you don't have to deal with the excitement of being "on the job". Of course, if you have several people to do the job you can have a transportable rack with all the devices in it and one (or more) technician only responsible for doing the audio perfectly. Arnold, who would love to be the technician for such a professional team with their equipment :-) (*) Disclaimer: I don't earn money with audio-work... -- visit http://dillenburg.dyndns.org/~arnold/ --- Wenn man mit Raubkopien Bands wie Brosis oder Britney Spears wirklich verhindern könnte, würde ich mir noch heute einen Stapel Brenner und einen Sack Rohlinge kaufen.
