AUDIO USING A MINI DISC PLAYER

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Shooting DV Films : One Thread

I'm shooting a low-budget film this summer using the XL1 and I've heard that using a shotgun microphone in conjunction with a mini-disc player is a good idea. We'd then mix together the audio and video in post production. Is this a good idea? We've done some tests and the sound seems incredible.

Do you have an XLR adapter connected to the mini disk? if so have you connected an XLR to the XL-1?

Dumb question: What's an XLR adappter? I have an Elura and an Aiwa ppportable MD recorder. Any suggestions on mics under $200?

Thanks
