The two pages share room, booth and chain-matching text but differ on three points. Processing: Live Action says avoid dynamic compression, limiting or EQ while recording (processing is for mixing); Animation says avoid compression and EQ but allows light peak limiting to avoid clipping and a gentle high-pass for rumble. Distance: Live Action gives about two feet for a super-cardioid boom and three feet for a shotgun; Animation gives a Neumann U87 at 30-50 cm. Deliverable: only Animation states a Pro Tools session with 24 fps timecode and 24 bit/48 kHz. Neither page says which controls when content type is unclear.

Curator qualifications: Live Action vs Animation recording pages differ on processing (no compression/limiting/EQ vs light peak limiting and gentle high-pass allowed) and mic distance. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
