Which digitizer and software are you using? I'm not sure the problem is that deep. It's drift between a USB microphone and a digital camera. Ordinary Separate Sound. They're both at room temperature through the performances. There is one very serious possibility past simple manufacturing tolerances...

It wasn't you. There was another poster with roughly similar overly crisp presentation. Attached is CrispPatch1.xml. Install it into your Equalizer as one of the preset options.

Make safety backups of all your shoots.

Shoot the hour-long test show to see how far off they are—accurately. Then batch correct your brains out. I bet it works. You don't need the clapboard. You can clap your hands on camera.

I am trying to complete a pro project using amateur equipment Certainly nobody else is doing that. You only get your picture in the magazines when you get it to work, like that movie shoot they did all on iPhones. It helps that a world-famous director did it. Now you want me to pull the magic out o...

Thx. It is Rode-NT USB mic

Thx, but I mean how are you using it? Are you on camera and the microphone is suspended over your head (18" up and 18" forward).

I guess I missed one. The Time Bases are established inside the camera and USB microphone. You're stuck. That's why the grownups spend the bux to get good timebases. You can start a movie camera and a sound recorder and come back in an hour and they're still in nearly perfect lock step. You can lock...

I am not sure if it desyncs in the same way every time... It should. Each timebase has to be stable within itself. If it's not, it will produce garbage instead of a digital sound signal. They can't drift, warble, or wander, but they can be any sample rate within their manufacturing tolerances. The ...

I swear it was you... I made a simple equalization that took a little of the edge from everything and it sounded OK. I'm not with the grownup computer right this second. If it was going to be anywhere, it would be in that machine archive. It's distressing that I went back through the conversations w...

It's a pretty nice microphone. I borrowed one from a performance artist to do the tests and I liked it a lot. But he wanted it back anyway.
