❗ Get a Tascam DR-10L & free SD Card/Headphones on Amazon: amzn.to/2WA0lvc
The Tascam DR-10L audio recorder feels like it was made specifically for wedding filmmakers, and in my opinion, it is the best audio recorder a wedding videographer can buy. I own four of them. :)

Matt I love DR-10L! One question I have is how you deal with the auto levels. Do you use them? I think from what you said you do. Auto level seems to work pretty well, but sometimes if the pastor takes pauses in between sentences, the auto level quickly turns up the volume and when he speaks loudly it clips and I almost never am able to use the normal version, and have to rely on the -6db version. I remember from kraig adams that you can change the sensitivity settings via micro sd and some software? But was just curious how you battle these problems and if you have changed the settings on it? Thanks :)

Quite literally yesterday I was running sound on a bigger production, and we had an issue where the client had to go deep inside a building where we legally couldn't follow with cameras. Producers wanted audio from the talent but it was too far for the wireless lavs ---- cue the Tascam DR-10L, yet again saving the day for me and the whole production.

Size, double decibel recording level, power switch, etc. I own two of these, I've used them on every project I've been involved with - and it's the best recorder I have come across. $200 may set some people back - but it shouldn't. This is an amazing value, coupled with that mic it comes with. Totally worth the money!

I am glad you enjoy your DR-10L Matt. I wish I didn't have a bad experience with Tascam and my DR-10L. Customer service is no existent for this company, trying to troubleshoot a card read error was impossible (tried 4 micro sd cards error every time) figured it was the port where it goes in, luckily B& H has a wonderful return policy. Probably would have replaced it with another but the poor support from Tascam made me buy the Zoom F1, a bit more bulky, but out of principle needed to switch companies, a recorder failing 2 days before I have a wedding when I went to test it isn't what I like to have occur.

When do you start the recording? or do you just keep it recording from when you put it on the couple and forget about it? If the latter, wouldnt that be a problem in regards to how to sync it to the video, basically a 4-5 hour audio clip?

@xmanxavier11 5 жыл бұрын

Not really. If you mic up the groom, you would only be leaving the mic on him for maybe 1 to 1.5 hours in 99% of weddings. Just put the mic on him before the ceremony, and take it off afterwards. After that syncing can be done pretty easily with Premiere's syncing feature, or just scrubbing through the audio file and finding the vows (you're only really going to be using the groom's mic for the vows) and syncing it manually. It's the same thing really with the officiant's mic, except there is more usable audio. I couldn't really ever see a scenario in which you would need to leave a mic on a person for 4-5 hours on a wedding.

@exogendesign4582 3 жыл бұрын

Please guys use Plural Eyes it works like a charm, just stuff out your footage in timeline, put the master audio from Tascam dr-10L, then it will snych the footage for you, in a minimal time than manually synching each video, I've done that before, with plural eyes, synching has reduce to 5-10 minutes in a 3-6 hours Timeline with over 300-500 Footages from 4 cameras. Its price is really worth it.

I do gardening videos for KZfaq and use an old camera (Canon XF100). I've always had a wireless lav mic with a receiver plugged into the camera and never had to sync a separate audio file. I did see your video about doing that in Premiere, but do you also need a regular mic plugged into the camera for proper syncing? Or do you record the video without sound and then use the DR10L for the audio only? I just ordered one of these to replace my Comica wireless receiver/mic, but now sure how to best do this.
