@danielzee 5 жыл бұрын

Hey Matt, all the settings I agree with, but I would caution videographers from using the Auto Level. If it's a speech with longer pauses, it will bring up the hiss and background noise quite a bit in between the talking. I leave it off and keep the mic gain at M. Also you have the second backup lower volume file to help in case you need it. Thanks again for the video, always enjoy watching them. One day maybe we can film a wedding together, that'd be awesome.

@thesqueegee86 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I tend to agree with this. I didn't have the backup option before because I was running the old firmware, so knowing that I have that now solves all problems.

@haiimlong 4 жыл бұрын

Can we film a wedding together? lol

@jdmitchell6995 4 жыл бұрын

Also also, using the limiter raises the noise floor. Best bet is to dual record with -12db and set your gain to M or lower.

@CliffFennell 4 жыл бұрын

What do you think about leaving on the LOW CUT?

@danielzee 4 жыл бұрын

@@CliffFennell I personally like to tweek my audio in post. If you have a speaker with a beautiful low voice, it might take away a little of that, but I think its pretty safe. If you have a low rumble sound from an air conditioner in the background then it helps.

Oh no! What happened? Was it the wedding itself or something to do with the Tascam settings not producing great audio?

@jalins6 2 жыл бұрын

This was an outstanding video to help me get started. It explains what everything is and why you want particular settings. But I watched the video again and went back and changed some of the settings after using it for a while. For instance, I turned off the setting the splits up the recording into 15 minute increments. Based on what and how I record, I actually didn't like this feature. But I needed a refresher to find what setting that was. So, overall a great video.

Great video, Matt! I took your advice and bought one! Gonna use it for audio out on the ocean while I'm fishing! The GoPro mics weren't cutting. Ironically though, I always take my chest cam audio for some reason it's usually pretty good. Where I normally fish there are 16-knot winds on an average day.
