We invest a lot into videos, I expect us to do the same to our audios. But we hardly do this, we always want to spend small money on sound, even if the director of photography intends to bring much more powerful equipment for us we will discourage him because of money. A movie without clean sound is a waste of time. Have you seen some movies with generator sound on the background giving you so much distraction.
Tascam 60d, juiced link, zoom h4n, r24, Sony mixers, tascam 680d and the rest are all good for sound but the best field sound mixer is sound device. Yes, that is the name of the mixer, sound device, it is very powerful and costly, that is why many people are not using it in this part of the world, I mean africa.
It is always good to record your sound separately into a mixer/recording devices because it will provide much more richer sound than the one recorded directly into the camera. Most dslr cameras record 44.1khz while the broadcast standard is 48 kHz, so it is good for you to record your audio into a device that can even record 96 kHz sample rate at 24 bits, and of course I expect you to know that you are to record in wave format. The effect of this is a robust rich sound to work with in your post production. Some lazy editors may tell you otherwise especially if you will not pay well for their troubles in syncing the audio. Once again, pay your editor well because it will almost guarantee a good job.
Concerning microphones, you can use rode ntg 2 upward, please don't go anything less for your boom microphones, because that is the least, forget about any of these paid adverts from rode, the good condenser microphone they have starts from ntg 3 upward. Sennheiser condenser microphone is one of the best in the industry, almost all their products are great for production. There are some other costlier condenser microphones that are better but money!
I think this is getting too long to read, I will continue from here next week. Feel free to ask your questions.
