Studio Production Unit- Sound Research and unintentional practice.

Recently I have been doing my best to try and get some practice in for recording sound in different environments in preparation for both my work on VTs as a sound guy, and also for inside a studio environment.
Something I realized was that in a way, I have experience working with sound already, as I host a wrestling podcast with my friend Andy Cox, and as such, we often encounter sound issues and overcome them. I realized this is something I could directly relate into my sound work with this studio unit. I therefore began to research certain things online.
I often use a Zoom H4n sound recorder to record my podcasts- a very powerful recorder, and as such it often picks up background noise and the sound of nearby appliances.
This is where a program called Adobe Audition comes in handy. Adobe Audition allows the removal of said background noises, and should be an incredibly useful tool in the sound department for this unit.
I have also suggested to the VT group that we have a practice shoot to test out where we can hide cameras and sound recorders for a VT on domestic abuse, where we plan to capture actuality in the studio board room. This would allow us to collect materials to check that we can hide cameras in and sound recorders in areas that make them hard to notice, and also so that the sound we capture is the clearest quality possible.
