Nice video, thank you. What would be the best microphone to record out site ambient sound, like if you were downtown and wanted to records all the sounds of the city?

I was using a lavalier microphone. Cell phone on my camera. I shot around 90 - 100 videos and then the microphone started making noise and I couldn't use it. This happened either after the microphone software update or the mobile phone software update. Because I changed the microphones to new ones under warranty, there was still the same problem. First, I bought the rode wireless go 1, it made a terrible low noise, so I put it aside before I could use it. Then I bought Rode Wireless Go 2 and installed Rode Lavaliver Go microphones on it and used it. I can't use it now. By the way, the internal microphone of the rode wireless go 2 microphones picks up sound very poorly. Even the phone's internal microphone surpasses them. For this reason, it is necessary to use lavaliver go. Then, instead of buying Rode Wireless Pro, I went and bought the Rode NT USB + model to improve my sound quality. By the way, I use my microphones with the type c port. In the future, I plan to switch to a 32 bit microphone.

Mark could you do a video on how you edit your audio in post ? I’m really struggling. I use Premier Pro but can never get it right.

Mark, always enjoy your videos. Since this mic is in the same price range as Rode NTG 5, I was wondering if you have an opinion on which you would prefer.

@markwiemels Жыл бұрын

They are both very good. NTG5 has more low end, and eliminates background noise better, this mic has a bit more clarity and detail. They are both very good mics.

Great video Mike I love using boom microphone. Hi Mike I have questions if you don't mind. Are you using a video switcher for your different angles for your videos? And are you using OBS to capture it. Thank you

@markwiemels Жыл бұрын

Thanks. I just shoot the two camera angles, then use the Multicam function in Final Cut Pro.

@RobertGossCreator Жыл бұрын

@@markwiemels Thank you Mark appreciate the response. I have a switcher but I don't really like using OBS I feel it takes away from the quality of the videos. Just watch a video from Davinci Resolve it also has a multi cam feature

Good video. So u have a newbie question worth a good mic like these does it plug into your camera still ? If not what does it plug into and how do I bring my audio together. Thanks for the help

@markwiemels Жыл бұрын

It's and XLR mic, so you need an XLR interface (which allows your computer to record the audio) or and XLR recorder. (which records the audio for you) Then you sync the audio file with the video file in editing.

@markwiemels ok I have a zoom livetrak L8 but I thought the mic plugged into the camera. So I need to get a small recorder correct than sync audio.

Mark, alway enjoy your videos. Since this mic is in same price range as Rode NTG 5, I was wondering if you have an opinion on which you would prefer. I understand the Saramonic was sent to you, but wondering how it compares to NTG 5. Thanks so much.

@markwiemels Жыл бұрын

I have the NTG 5 as well, and should have some comparisons in an up coming video. From a quality perspective, I would say they are on par, I think from an Audio perspective it would just come down to personal preference.

@markexploringnewstuff Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the quick reply. I look forward to your upcoming comparison video. The Saramonic is priced to compete directly with NTG5, as both are $500 US. Your creative efforts are much appreciated.

Great video, Mark. I find it funny when creators say audio is 50% or more of your video and then turn around and invest in cheap mics. Great content. I have really enjoyed it.

The problem I have is hearing the breath intakes. I never paid attention to it until I’ve noticed it in my own videos and now I feel cursed because whenever I watch any video on KZfaq it’s all I focus on now. Like your video right now… Is it something I should ignore and not let get to me or is that a big deal to people and if you yourself have struggled with this did you lower the gain on those breath intakes in post or did you just leave it? I ask because I want to know if I’m just special and should even worry about that or not. Do people even care hearing that?

@markwiemels 2 ай бұрын

Common issue. You can either leave it or use a plug in to remove it. I would not burden yourself and just focus on making good videos right now.

You audio was great! Not every audio reviewer matches this - so I immediately stop listening. I have a Fulaim X5 wireless lav. It sounds very muddy if located mid chest level. Best in front of my mouth. 2nd best is UNDER my T shirt with deadcat, using a magnet.

Hey Mark can you recommend a mic for recording live music outdoors (loud). I out grew my Rode VideoMicro on my canon m50. I have a budget of $200.

@markwiemels Жыл бұрын

I like this one - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNWDlZypqLe6g58.html but it might be above the price point. The MKE-400 is also good. I do like the Rode mics, but sometimes those capsules can't handle the really loud stuff, and you can get distortion.

Condenser style mice typically pick up a lot of stuff, from what I read. Check if it’s condenser or dynamic

Why not use zoom as the interface?

@markwiemels 11 ай бұрын

Mainly because 32 bit float did not work for in interface mode. They may have updated this via firmware now, not sure.

Hi im just starting my youtube channel I was wondering if its better to have a chest mic and a standing mic out of the shot like u do. I got a cheap usb mic novox nc-1 from my brother but it sounds horrible. Im not sure if its the acoustics of the room, or the placement or if it should sound bad and I should be good at editing😂 what do you think? Should I just improve my editing skills or just throw it to the garbage and get a more expensive mic? I dont know the difference between a cheap and expensive mic so I was afraid that ill buy a new one and it will still sound bad because of sowmthing im missing? 😂 Ive looked everywhere. Please let me know what to do if you may you would bebmy life saver. I just want to start my yt channel and keep on making vids but not spend lots of money for now. 😅
