-Le poulpe. on vimeo
-fluffy mikes are wind jammers-stop wind noise on a shot gun microphone/rifle mike. - only picks up sound the travels down the tube. it catches the sound waves. fluffy thing comes with brush-it works better if its not matted.
attenuation- the  mike with the big dish picking up tiny sounds and amplifying

aiff is the same as a wav which is high quality sound
aiff is owned by apple- mac only
always use wav
film usually has 48kHz for sound. if you set it like this to start with theres less work to do  at the end. 24 bit means it picks up really high and really low.
sound output measures in decibels
12-12db=broadcasting standard.
set the levels so the levels aren't peaking too high so it distorts.

what sounds to go and get
