I'm a sound designer and mixer in the Los Angeles area. As someone who
has spent the last ten years trying to make the best possible sound for
television programs and commercials, I have to say... You are absolutely right!
Nobody really cares.
However, it hasn't kept me from trying. :)
I just got back into town from a trip up the coast for the weekend, only to
discover that I missed all this great audio talk. Supposedly I should know
more about audio than I do about photography! Well, I'll try to get caught up
later.
For now, I have not heard anyone suggest the option of using the portable
stereo recording system that has a built in mic that almost everyone out there
in the world already has: a video camera! My Hi-8 video camera actually
doesn't sound too bad. Of course, cameras will vary widely in their quality,
especially because of the microphone, but Hi-8 HI-FI video tape or a DV
camera can provide a satisfactory portable recording solution. You then load
in just the parts you want into the computer for processing and compression
later.
