Sound was recorded at the Toyota Center on February 19, 2016. You’ll see a lot of Houston sound pros in the video supporting the traditional coverage, but not me. This project was recorded while a live ‘linear’ traditional broadcast and fight event was in progress. Five dressing rooms and one mobile camera were covered with support for 360 GoPro arrays. Tracking was recorded to Avid Pro Tools and Sound Devices 633 via Behringer X32 and Audinate DANTE, and with time code support. Thanks to GoToTeam for the hire!
During the shoot there was a parade of executives, top card fighters, and a Bloomberg news crew were floating through.Here’s an interesting discussion of virtual mic arrays, none of which were used on this project.
