Great vid Rob, thanks for this. I've been a m-vlogger for some years but one of the main things that stops me proliffically uploading content to the Tube of You is the poor quality I previously got from both audio and video. Fast forward to 2022 and I'm now rocking a more up-to-date GPH9, but as tech has advanced I'm now running audio from my helmet intercom into the media mod of the GP, I'm still not happy with the limited control over the audio from the GP, so I'm now looking at ditching the spoken audio into the GP and maybe, as you have done, just run ambient bike/wind audio into the GP, and recording both MY audio as well as that from my intercom into an external handheld such as the H1n or similar. I had been looking at the Zoom Podtrak P4 as it also doubles as a Podcast interface (which is something else I'm looking at delving into) but it is bulky for the bike and the inputs are XLR.

Thanks heaps - struggling with getting the exhaust audio without it clipping. Running a DJI action 4 with the DJI mic 2 - put -12 DB in the menu and chucked the mic in a tail back with lots of padding ,still get the cracks (very loud pipes). Will try more padding and putting it inside a jacket pocket.

Just out of interest did you do some sort of media course or is it all self taught. I am in construction and flicking old so trying to teach myself 😂 Ian Back on Two Wheels

@frankmoralesiii6908 Жыл бұрын

I use a Purple Panda inside my helmet. I have a Gopro Hero 7 Black. I change the Gopro protune setting for mic to "wind." This is fine for me. I get great voice quality with little wind sound and for me the sound of the motorcycle is fine. I reduce my breathing sounds in post production using premier pro's Dynamic affect. This is best for me, I am not a pro though, but I am happy with it.

Great video and timing…now all I need to do is go for a ride and get some sweet, sweet audio 🤗 also love your backpack trick - I’ve tried using some gopro/camera mounts to my bike and am finding the zoom gets a weird rattle noise through the frame at high revs so I’m definitely gonna try your backpack/beanie trick 🤗…one question tho…how do you get your gain levels set whilst it’s in your backpack (does it muffle sound much?)

@MotoFeelz 2 жыл бұрын

Yea it’s best to cushion it otherwise you’re gunna get rattles, or vibrations throughout the audio. It muffles sound a bit. In post is where all the magic happens. The first time I try my zoom in a new spot I always have the headphones attached and give the throttle a crack. This gives me a basic idea. Then throw an EQ on it in post boosting highs and mids. Blending my helmet mic comes in handy for definition too

therefore the best solution to have cleaner audio is to use a zoom and then an external voice recorder, insert it in the backpack as you showed in the video.. for someone who doesn't like to talk but just wants to make videos where you can only hear the environment and motion it is the solution best do you confirm? because at first I thought about the rode lavalier go microphone to put inside the helmet, but then I remembered that if he had to speak "alone lol" or stupid example: sneezing, it would be heard in the final audio, so the best solution is the zoom inserted inside the bag, also because recorded zoom audio is superior to the rode microphone

@VicariousxD 2 жыл бұрын

for my guys on a budget or just starting and have bought a gopro and can't shell out more for portable recorder, even zoom h1n, just buy a fifine usb mic, and attach it to your android phone via usb c otg cable. it will work almost similar to a high quality portable condenser mic. if your usb mic has gain settings, it's even better.

Is HN1 good for recording pipe sound? Or should consider higher models?

@a99770a997 2 жыл бұрын

@@haisanjafri My recorder is H1, it's is an older model. It picks up wind noise easily after 60 km/hr. This might be attributed to the configuration of my bike, CB1100 which doesn't provide a wind-proof place to mount the recorder. Most common place to mount H1 is the storage space under the backseat, but my CB's storage space is at the middle of the bike and it's too far from the pipe. That's the reason I put an external lav mic. The H1N has new features like, 3 lv. of low cut and limiter, some says they work well as wind noise cancelling features. I got several idea from other good sound quality channel, using H5 or H6 with dynamic microphone mounting between mudguard and wheel. This is what I'm planning to do as soon I saved enough money, a big amount of money.

Great video with valuable tips, I'm looking for a wireless microphone to use in the helmet that pairs via bluetooth with the go pro 11 but apparently it doesn't exist... I can't believe that at the current technological level of the 21st century, motorcyclists have to ride with a bunch of wires and all sorts of kludges, just to get external audio on the go pro... Sacant by the manufacturer, which for commercial convenience prefers to sell expensive and monstrous adapters, harming the user experience, than allowing a microphone or wireless headset pair via bluetooth, which I believe would technically be possible, unless I'm mistaken...
