I record radio nats as channel 1, and real nats as channel 2 pretty much every time I shoot a pro or college game.Originally posted by <Lordo>:
Since when does Radio need to be included in shooting football. Your head needs to be in the game, not listening to it, or for that matter recording it. I made my sports guy understand that in a hurry!!
We do a half-hour pre and post season special for Penn State, and Steve Jones' voice makes great nats to break up otherwise standard stories. Plus, since you can't see everything that goes on from your position on the sidelines, it's helpful to listen so you don't miss something somewhere that may be important.
Plus, it's great to have something else as a backup for nats. I once had a nat mike crap out in the middle of a game and couldn't hear that it was bad through the earpiece. Fortunately, there were the radio nats to use in the editing pinch.
