That's a powerful reason to follow TLDR's advice, and to record in the compressed mode.

Hey hey Walid and Robert! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! That is a big thing! I did notice that uncompressed split the file into 30min chunks, but didn't realize you actually lose a moment between each file! It would be the worst luck ever if the signal dropped right at the file cut off mark! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Dang! Thanks! I'm changing my setting to compressed!

After reading this I tried to replicate your result. I set the transmitters to record uncompressed and placed the mic next to some music I was playing. After recording an hour or so I placed the recorded files in Final Cut. The break between the 2 files was in the middle of a song and I can say the transition was completely seamless. There was no break or overlapping. I wonder if a firmware update fixed it.

@@ccplant Could this thanks to the latest firmware update, the other guys above didnt have at that time?

Hey hey The Building Sheriff! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! I guess it could depend on how much post audio is done to the original recording into camera or recorder.

Hey hey Time in the Outdoors! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! When it comes to most action cameras, they do their own auto audio gain settings so you'll not have great control over what it want's to do. That being said, -9db or -6db should be a good starting point since the RODE outputs a loud signal thats good for action cameras not trying to up its own gain too much. You can test -3db if you like and see if it sounds a little better, but otherwise -6 is a common starting spot for a system that doesn't let you set mic gain in the camera. Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey 4motions adventures! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! The transmitter don't inherently have its own mic level adjustments, the unit will adjust accordingly. The cheapest way is to make sure you're recording in stereo mode so that in editing you can raise the one transmitters volume. But if you are trying to do it on set and negate the post editing, you would want something like this: geni.us/aASbL (affiliate link) This preamp would still require you to make sure the RODE is set to stereo mode, from there you can adjust the audio levels of each transmitter from the preamp. At the very end there is a switch on the preamp that allows you to send out a Mono or Stereo signal to the camera. I personally would keep it on stereo so incase you do need to readjust later, you can.

@@TLDR_filmmaker Mahalo brother! Appreciate your channel and for replying!

The thing is, as he mentioned in the video, is that if you first select merged mode in the settings in the application and then select safety channel. You can then any time you want deselect merged mode and go to split mode from your receiver. And when you go back to merged you will automatically have the safety channel.

Hey hey again IMDABROWN! Yup SanoyNimbus is correct.

Hey hey again The Macronical! That is very true about everything being compressed in the end! And of course, technology has gotten so good that Compressed honestly sounds really good unless you have high end audiophile gear, then maybe you can hear the difference... but thats also if your ears are trained to hear it.

The Safety channel can help on the camera side though it may not be where the problem lies. It could potentially be that your your Green Lion Mic capsule is not able to handle that much sound pressure from yelling, which can also cause distortion. Go ahead and try the safety track and then in your editor raise the volume of the safety track and see if its still muffles. If so, then theres a good chance its your microphone not able to handle it and you may need to get a higher end lavaliere that can. Check the scream test in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLVkbJB5yN3RgZs.html

@TLDR_filmmaker Thank you very much for your reply. You're right, I think the problem may be from the capsule that's not able to handle the sound pressure. I will watch the video that you sent me. Hopefully, I can find a mic that's able to adapt changing from low to high tone withput distorting🙏

Hey hey Kevin! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! The recording option is just a failsafe backup incase something happens with your wireless signal or maybe your go-pro runs out of battery but someone is still talking. You will at least have the audio that you can use B-roll to cover with until you get the go-pro back up and running. For the most part, like I say in the video, you only lose 10 minutes of RODE GO battery live on the TX by keeping the internal recording on. Because it's so minimal of a difference, theres no real good reason to have this feature turned off. Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey Andrew! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! You're going to have to adjust it on the fly based on who's being mic'd up, and to a certain degree it'll depend on your camera.

Hey hey Barry! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! Your camera mic level settings is going to vary from camera to camera. Sony cameras don't like to use low mic settings because of potential distortion, panasonic cameras can be set lower and let the RODE do more of the heavy lifting with output. Your goal is to make sure your camera's sound bars are bouncing between -12db and -6db so you have room to work with it in post production. Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey LegendaryOn99! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! In general you should adjust the camera audio levels first. Yes, generally people will want to bump their camera level down first, however I found out that this is NOT the case for Sony Cameras. I detail it in this video here if you are a Sony shooter: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eM6Pmsl22KyrpHU.html If you're a Panasonic shooter, you can move the audio levels down. I'm not sure about Canon or BMPCC. I believe they are fine to go down as low as it can go. Sony is oddily not the case. But you'll want to test around to see what sounds good to you. Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey again Budiono! In the newer firmwares your transmitter will have something called a "pad" option. Simply turn that on and that will lower your mic's sensitivity level. This only works for the build in microphone and not an external lav mic if I remember correctly. If you are using an external mic. The Sony is weird with how it handles louder noises. So you might actually need your RODE GO to be set to -30db. I know this will be very low on your Sony, but it will help it from clipping and you will need to raise the audio level in editing. As for your iphone and why it's peaking. This is something thats not easily figured out on the iphone as it has its own audio gain programming that can't be turn on or off.

@@TLDR_filmmaker Thank you for your answer. so -24 isn't enough, is it? i'll give it -30 and see what will happen. I thought if it was -30 then the sound would be completely off. Once again, thank you

Hey hey Cigar Prop! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! The "pad" feature was something added after this video. Essentially what it does is it lowers the sensitivity of your microphone capsule so if you are going to record audio in a very loud environment, like a rock band in an indoor venue, where the music is loud and you're screaming into the mic so that you can get your commentary in. Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey again Chris! Thanks for commenting!

The receiver does not record audio internally. Only the transmitters record audio internally when activated. The Receiver is meant to plug into your camera with the 3.5 or a external recorder.

Hey hey James! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! Hmm if you have created a multicam clip already and select the audio channels you wanted from the cameras source. I believe if you expand audio components on the multicam clip it should pop out all the audio sources you've selected (Left and Right channel) since the Multiclip is merging all of those into a dual mono already, I believe. Or you would have to double click and enter into the multiclip editor itself and I believe all your audio lanes should be there when you expand audio components. This is a good question and I may need to look into it more and create a tutorial video. It might be awhile as I have other projects to do but I will add it to my list of video ideas. Hopefully what I said here gets you closer to what you need to do. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey AM2PM! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! That definitely depends on how you film and what subjects you film. I generally prefer to do the safety channel just on the off chance that I may need to access that channel to safe a piece of a recording. In FCPX the dual mono setting is a quick click so it doesn't really affect the time of my workflow. But if you're finding that your just doing a talking head (of yourself) and you talk more or less the same volume all the time, then the safety track might not be a big deal as you've locked in audio gain settings. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker thanks for the response!

I found -12 was comfortable enough to get audio that doesn’t distort. I just raise it in post. Edit: in camera I set to 1

Hey hey Binh Vu! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! I recently found out, at least to my ears, that when you have the Sony at +1 that there is some sort of limiter that Sony does that is set to around -9db or something. Because I always woundered why I would get these clip distortion noises even though I was far from hitting 0dB. When I placed the preamp to +3 I noticed that the sony limiter shifted to -3dB. I compensated my microphone for the added camera gain and I now get a much better range of audio that won't randomly clip just because I hit some sort of limiter that I can't turn off. I was wracking my brain over this one because my old Panasonic GH5 had great signal to noise ratio because I can push the sound all the way to -3db if I wanted and had the option to turn on and off the limiter. Sony looks like it has it's own limiter that you can't turn off and depending on what preamp level you're set at gives it different results. Hope this helps. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker omg dude thank you so much for this info! I experienced the same with the Rode NTG. Had Sony at +1 and was baffled how I was still distorting! Thanks for sharing!!

You're most welcome Jose! I only recently just figured this out...time to make a video about it! Cause I couldn't find any information or video out there why the mic port would randomly clip out when I was nowhere near the 0dB mark, just didn't make sense!! lol

Hey hey Jim! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! To connect it to an iPhone you will need to use this cable: geni.us/xAbin (affiliate link) when you have this connected to your receiver you will not need to sync any audio afterwards. Unless you are wanting to use the onboard recording incase your signal blips, this is heavily dependent on your editing software. You can either manually do it by matching your audio waveforms together. This is why on movies we CLAP after we hit the record button, so we can match the audio files later. I always clap 3 times so its easier to match if I do it manually. Otherwise a lot of programs now have "sync audio" features where the computer does it for you. Simply do a youtube search on your audio program on how to sync audio and you'll most likely find a video on how to do it. Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey Robert! Thank you so much for checking out this video and being active with other commenters! The computer App is only there to activate optional features, you do not need it to set up every time you want to change something like "Gain level" and "Stereo/Mono" mode. Those are all done on the physical product itself. The App simple gives you more options should you want to use more options when you're out in the field. This video is just my recommendation so that you can set it once and forget it. No need to go back into the app to turn a option on or off, you'll be set no matter what. This video is a supplement to my large 45 minute review a couple weeks ago. That's the reason I don't mention much about anything else as this is assuming most have already began using the system or they saw my long review and know that an App exists to turn on option features. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker Thanks very much. I used the mic system during a (makeup) product application video I shot in LA a couple days ago. I clipped the transmitters to lanyards and hung them around the girl's necks. The mic's worked perfectly for three continuous hours. I'm VERY impressed with the built-in mics, and the clarity of the audio. I never figured out how to engage the internal audio (backup) recorders, but fortunately I didn't need them. Best wishes!

@@airsearch9192 So glad they worked for your needs on that shoot! RODE's computer app is still in the process of getting to a better final form. You unfortunately have to keep going back to their website and download the latest updated version. Install it, and then plug your RX and TX to it to update the GO's internal firmware. I really hope they get to a better way soon. A smartphone app is coming for people out in the field. And now you can even just use the TX as their own independent field recorders without the need of the RX to be on and connected to them.

Hey hey The Thin Frame! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! Set the A7iii to +3 mic and then play with the output settings to get your voice to be around -12db. Then Raise your audio later in post to get a louder sound if needed. The reason I don't use +1 anymore on my Sony is because I discovered there is a artificial limiter that caps out around -6db causing you to have random clipping for no reason. I don't know why it doesn't use the full range of audio headroom when on +1. This is again where I say change the RODE output setting to "Fine" mode. becauase low, medium, and High may jump the gun on the audio levels into the A7iii depending on how loud you speak. You may need to be in an inbetween to get the right levels. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey RMKmedia! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! I most likely won't anytime soon, mainly because Lensgo still looks to be internally recording at 16bit after my initial critiques to the company to at least do the standard 24bit 48khz with their 328c. I unfortunately can't review every system out there, especially if they are already starting off with a feature that doesn't match the current competition. That being said, I don't think the sound quality will be that much different from my review of the 328c. The Internal Recording drift problem is probably somewhat solved with them now going to 48khz instead of 44.1khz. The 500mhz freq is of course good if you are in the USA and having AA battery for quick swap is a good option for longer shoots. Thats all I can say based on my experience with the 328c. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey vatsal! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! This is because you have the safety channel switched on for the RODE GO, the setting that I leave on when doing a solo shoot just incase something loud happens and I blow out one channel, I can use the safety channel to recover. There is an extra step you have to do in your editor so that when you finish your video you have your main channel coming out of both stereo sides. I sort of cover it in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adOkes2DubewZas.html . If you don't want to go through with this setup, simply turn off the safety channel feature the next time you plug in your receiver into the computer app. Thanks again for stopping by!

Hey hey again Andrew! I haven't updated to the most recent one just yet. But Pad is meant for you're you're trying to record audio at a rock concert or something where the sound is just booming. The Pad is different from just lowing the output gain to -30db, I believe it's actually make the mic capsule less sensitive so that the loud sounds don't distort it out. So essentially this is not necessary to turn on unless you are recording near a jet engine or something and only trying to get the jet engine sounds, needless to say your voice is not going to come through as well because of the pad. Hope this makes sense!

Hey Hey Kloketen! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! No, there is no way internally to adjust each mics level. Generally speaking based on my observation. RODE has an interesting algorithm for their AGC when you set the output dB. When you look at the sound bars, even if you are talking softly, it will boost the sound in a way to keep you in the green at the verge of yellow. I think the output dB is more for its max signal going into your recorder or camera. Because no matter how loud you yell, if you set it at lower dB, your recorder or camera won't go past a certain point. I think the only way you could really run into trouble with not having vol adjustments between the two TX is if one person literally whispers while the other one speaks boldly. Otherwise in a normal talking situation, the RODE AGC should do well in keep both leveled decently. If you really need individual channel control, the easiest way is to purchase something like this: geni.us/aASbL When you're in split mode you'll be able to adjust each mics individual volume going into your camera. Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker Ooohhh, I see, thank you so much for this detailed explanation! It helps me a lot!!! Best wishes!!!! you are the best!!!

Hey hey Chris! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! In my opinion, the Standard internal recording compression is more than enough since the internal recording gain is adjusting in real time from the internal algorithm. If you are wanting to do a bunch of audio post editing, and I mean a bunch, then the uncompressed might be a better a choice. But if you're just doing maybe a little EQ sweetning and a little compression, the standard should be more than enough. That also being said, with uncompressed you get about 7 hours of recording if you are starting fresh with the internal storage. If you find that you're not really using 7 hours of internal recording for a wedding shoot, you could then just leave it at uncompressed for the heck of it. Yes, batch export was released in one of the more recent RODE central updates. Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker thank you!!

@@TLDR_filmmaker in always on it only lets me put it in uncompressed, does it still record in a 30 minute blocks with a gap between blocks of time? Is backup the way to go so I can use standard? Thanks!

Hey hey Shugg! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! If you are using two transmitters, one for bride and one for groom, or whatever combination you may have. You should ALWAYS, in my opinion, use split. Because you want to make sure you can do any post audio work with either speaker incase one doesn't speak as loudly or if one mic is picking up other noises while the other is speaking. I talk briefly about the uses of "split channel" in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adOkes2DubewZas.html . As for whats a good gain level, a very general rule of thumb is to try and keep your recorder (or camera that is taking in the audio) and having their voices bounce between -12db and -6db (the visible marks on the sound bar on your camera.) You will adjust the RODE's Receiver output dB until their voices are near there. It's hard to change this on the fly, but the RODE Transmitter is also helping out and doing its thing on auto. Generally speaking -12 to -6db is where people are on average with the receivers output. Last but not least, as I say in this video, keep that internal recording on. Not only will it save you if you lose signal, but if it so happens you set up your receiver output wrong. The Transmitters recording is not affected by your output changes, it will have its own auto level recording that does quite well with regular speech. The only time it does not work is if someone deliberately screams into the transmitter. Hope this helps. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker thank you for taking the time to responde with details. My next question is, I record audio straight to my camera, no recorder or any other fancy audio interface. If I record in split mode, does that mean my video will have 2 audios, one from the groom and another audio from the bride? Also I have a wedding this upcoming weekend and I wanna use 3 Mics. Receiver from Rode Compaq Go (previous version) and the 2 receivers from the Go II. My plan is I have the splitter cable, one end goes to the Go I transmitter and the other end goes to the GO II transmitter and the input goes straight to my camera. All the audios from the 3 receivers will be form one audio for the video in recording right? My plan is to mic up the priest, groom and the bride. I hope I worded this right and hope you understand.

I can't speak for TLDR, but I almost never go outside of Final Cut. They have a lot of audio filters included. The two I always use are Limiter and Compressor.

@@airsearch9192 thank you !

Hey hey Simon and Robert! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! I as well just use the included Compressor, Limiter, noise gate, and EQ from FCPX. There are so many great programs out there it really just comes down to preference and how much are you willing to pay. FCPX is great but so is iMovie if you're just starting to learn. Davinci Resolve is probably the most powerful editor that has a free version and a paid version. As for suggested workflow, I would highly suggest you watch videos from Curtis Judd about dialogue, he explains it all very well and much easier than I could explain through a comment.

@@TLDR_filmmaker Awesome thank you !

Hey hey Managing Accounts! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! As far as I'm concerned it does not have a ANC algorithm rather it has a sort of AGC algorithm. ANC can mess with your voice a lot so it makes sense that they do not really use it. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker It seems I have to reduce the “dB” so that it stops capturing background voice and sounds

Hey hey Media Factory INC! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! The audio files are recorded into the transmitter themselves, so you need to plug it into the computer, download the app, and extract the recordings on your computer. Your A7 is just getting the audio from the receiver like a normal wireless audio kit. So in this type of setting you have two audio recordings, one on the camera from the receiver and one back up from the transmitter incase you lost signal or the camera randomly cut out and need to use B-roll to cover hole in the edit. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker THANKS so much :) I did try to connect the receiver to my laptop but didn't find any files - I was using Rode Central... Is that correct? Nicole

Hey Nicole. Yup the program is called RODE Central. You need to plug in the transmitters (the ones the actors are wearing) not the receiver. If you plug the receiver into the computer it will allow you to use the wireless GO's as a computer microphone for streaming or zoom etc.

@@TLDR_filmmaker Not sure why :( But it says 'no recordings available' ? did I do something wrong :(

There could be multiple reasons as it's hard for me to know what order or steps you've gone through. The obvious one is to make sure you turn on the internal recording feature through the Rode central app like I show in the video. There is now two versions of this feature. One requires you to make sure the receiver is on as well before it begins recording. The other is that the transmitter will recorder whenever it is turned on, it does not require the receiver to be turned on. Assuming you have these turned on and set, the recordings will appear the next time you plug the transmitter into the computer. There are random times where it will show no recordings for whatever reason and I simply just unplug and replug, the files will be there. The last bit is if you performed a firmware update, it will warn you that if you update the transmitter, depending on the update, it may need to erase the recordings. You of course have the options to negate the update and get the recordings you want before performing the update. These are the basic things you have to know when it comes to the internal recording, the main take away is that the internal recording feature must be turned on. It is not on by default when you bought the RODE GO. So if you had already recorded something a few days ago, nothing is recorded, and therefor it makes sense that you are not seeing anything in there at the moment. Hope this helps further helps as this pretty much covers everything.

Hey hey again funkyprepper! No, it will not ruin the battery if you have it plugged in the whole time while filming as it was designed with this in mind for people that need extended use.

In my opinion, it is not good to keep the units at 100% battery, as they use LiPo technology, so much like with our cell phones, the battery life is adversely influenced by keeping it either full or deeply discharged. So I would connect the charger when reaching red, and disconnect before 100% full.

That’s a great question and the reason I leave it uncompressed for now in case that happens.

Hey hey again 2010SLP! Part of me thinks you won't necessarily have headroom persay, I'm coming at it with the idea of video files in compressed vs uncompressed. I think the Uncompressed probably gives you better manipulation in post of the audio thats not clipped instead of being able to recover a clipped audio like RAW video. Here's hoping RODE enters the 32bit float game if the RODE GO II hardware can handle it. Though my guess is not likely :(

Yes 100%. Audio pro here. With top end de-clipping software it is always better to have the extra bits.

Hey hey visualksomos! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! Unfortunately no, the marks don't show up in a NLE, it will only show up in the RODE GO computer app to let you know you marked a spot so that you can export from there if you want to do separate files for separate takes. I'm not sure if they have updated just yet, but maybe in the future when you his the mark you can tell it to split the audio files so you don't have a single large file. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker thanks for the reply and keep up your good work.

Hey hey Mana Bulgaria! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! RODE has an official plug for the RODE GO II that goes into a USB-C smartphone. That is probably your best bet to deliver audio into the smartphone. Last I checked you can't use a USB-C port on the RODE GO II receiver and plug it into the USB-C port of the phone. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey Phil! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! When recording two presenter it is my opinion to do a split recording so that you can edit each persons voice in post. I talk about it very briefly what this means in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adOkes2DubewZas.html Turn on the internal recording as your safety just to have another file you can work with if needed be. You are right on time with the A7iii question, check my latest upload video where I talk about the shortcomings of the A7iii and A7Siii in terms of what audio settings you should be at. Once you set that up, having their voices hit -12db is a good spot. Hope this helps Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker thank you very much for the advice, I really appreciate it. I will be sure to try all these tips next week. All the best

Hey hey Checkered Flag Films! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! With this system you cannot tell it to start or stop, the recordings are meant as a backup incase something happens. The only way to stop recording is to turn off either the Transmitter or Receiver if you have the Transmitter set to "back up". If you have it set to "always record" it will record whenever its on without the Receiver. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey Boter! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! In general the RODE does do well with people who speak loudly, the TX will adjust to make sure it doesn't clip out at the mic level. But if this person is constantly really going at it or has that natural booming voice. In a recent Firmware update there was feature you could activate on the TX called "pad" or "padding" (I think). This lowers the mics sensitivity for loud noises, I can't remember how much -dB it pads, but this should help the TX mic not clip out. However if you are using a lavalier mic, I'm not entirely sure how this will work with the external lavalier mic. In theory I feel it should still work and it is not limited to just the RODE's built in microphone. Each Lav is different in how it handles boom sounds. I show this in my RODE GO Lavs comparison video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLVkbJB5yN3RgZs.html Assuming the "pad" feature is all good, from here you will have to see if the output of the RX is enough to compensate for the pad and/or if your audio recorder can add some more gain without raising too much noise floor sounds. Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker Thank you for the detailed response! Yeah, it's a difference between "projecting" and "shouting", and someone used to doing car commercials definitely shouts. I enabled "pad" on one of the transmitters, and sure enough the level was noticeably lower on the receiver, so I've gone ahead and enabled pad on all of the transmitters - I'd much rather worry about the noise floor than clipped audio! Thanks again :)

Hey hey MIMCK Media! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! You're not missing anything, the dB adjustment is only for the RX to Camera. The TX records its own AGC signal. It's most likely the actual signal it detects and sends wirelessly to the RX that then you adjust for camera or external recorder. For the most part the internal recording does a good job not clipping out expect for really sudden moments. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey Andrew! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! Hmm, that is interesting about the corruptions. Is this with the newest firmware on the transmitters? I agree that the software is a bit undercooked, but I'm also going to give RODE a slight break because I have a feeling this is the first time they've probably hired in software developers. They do seem very active with its development so I can only assume it will become fully fleshed out sooner than later as we give them ideas what they need to do. I'm not sure if this is still there, someone had found that the uncompressed will cut out a couple frames of audio when it transitions to the next 30min recording. Totally agree that RODE actually figured out a way to get around the stupid US patent that wasn't doing anything for just about every filmmaker out here. Lets see how RODE continues to fuse their App processings to give us even more options further down the line! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker Yes, all the devices and app are updated. I contacted Rode and they said it was a known issue and recommended a factory reset. It wasn't all the clips from that day, so I believe something was triggering the corruption, like talent accidentally unplugging the lav mics from the receivers perhaps, who knows. But I was able to extract the .UGG files even if there's no way of converting them without the Rode Central app, so Rode offered to convert the files for me, which I sent to them and I'm awaiting them to do so. And yeah, it would be great if at least the patent holders actually made something for us to use. Thanks TLDR!

My requested feature for a Go II "Pro" would be a headphone jack. :) Also useful for spies !

Hey hey Blair! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! The first part is, can you connect the RODE to your DVX200? Yes, a simple XLR to 3.5mm with no phantom power abilities will do the trick. Here is what one looks lieks geni.us/akxeZC (affiliate link) However will they sync up perfectly? No, I show this in my major review in the latency test: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abp_n8ej25_NdXk.html This reason for this is because it is wireless, which means there is always more latency than a hardwire audio cable. So when you go into editing, you will hear a echo between the two mic sources. This can be fixed of course in the editing phase where you can offset the RODE to match the wired shotgun mic. This is done differently depending on what video editor you are using, but it can be done. Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey Dan! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! I did not test this because that test won't really add much value because the TX runs out of batteries before the RX does with or without internal recording. Having the backlight on dim will just increase the RX batt life by a little, but the TX is already dead. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey Robert! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! For me this is not the case, however I haven't used the internal recording to save a shot in a long time (because it doesn't happen that often for me) so I'm not sure if newer firmware updates have lowered the gain of the internal recordings. As far as I know, the internal recording still does not have gain adjustments because it is recording the raw audio that the transmitter actually receives with its AGC algorithm. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey Hitesh! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! You are most likely in "Stereo" mode and not in "mono" mode. On the receiver that goes into your camera, press the two bottom buttons and hold for a couple seconds so that the receiver switches over to Mono. If you followed my settings, one side will be louder than the other. So make sure you are familiar on how to work with safety track audio: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adOkes2DubewZas.html If you don't want to bother with the safety track then make sure you go back into the RODE Central App and turn it off. Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

It completely depends on your camera as well as how loud your sound source is that you're trying to capture. Rule of thumb is to keep your camera mic level as low as possible and adjust the receiver so that your voice is around the -12db area on the sound bar. Your best starting point is to try anywhere from 12db to 3db on the RODE if you do not have access to soundbars on your camera or camera mic level adjustments.

Hey hey Mark! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! I have noticed in whatever firmware version I am on that Always record is only available for uncompressed. I can't remember RODE's reason for this. As for any reason to ever use "always record". I've only used it in this mode when I wanted to be quick in gathering audio sfx without the need to bring a XLR recorder. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey FPV FLYER! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! If you have two transmitters going, merge mode will simply just have both speakers coming out of both stereo channels (like normal videos). Safety Channel will have the LEFT channel at regular volume and the RIGHT will be the safety should something gets too loud. The Safety is meant for you to work on in editing should something clip out, and when you're done editing you will tell the editor to make the audio track "merged" so that it sounds like a normal video. This is why I suggest when you have two transmitters going you should learn how to work with "Split" mode because you want to have control of each persons voice in the edit and then make it a "merged" audio when you export your video. If someone on one transmitter is making a bunch of noise, you can mute them while the other is talking. If you filmed it in "merged" mode, you won't have any ability to mute them because their audio is merged forever. I cover this topic very lightly in this video, but the concept is the same when you work with split stereo 2ch audio. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adOkes2DubewZas.html Pretty much any video editor can do this except for maybe iMovie? I'm not sure. The free Davinci Resolve editor can do it for sure. Lastly if you only have one transmitter going. In this case you can use either Safety or Merge. Again, the safety will just have one channel that is at a lower volume incase you scream. So you'll fix that in editing and merge it when you render out your video. Or you can just leave the RX in "merge" mode so that you get normal video audio. Hope this makes sense and helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey Djayrazor! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! You would activate Merge Mode on the RX. However if you are using the safety channel feature there will be an extra step in editing that you'd have to do. I talk about it briefly here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adOkes2DubewZas.html Essentially you're telling the audio to take the left channel and dual mono it out so that you can hear it on both stereo channels. It's an extra step, but a good step to learn as you begin working with audio. If you don't want to deal with this at all, then simply turn off safety channel in the app, that way when you go into "merge" mode, you'll hear your voice out of both stereo channels. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey iProdvid! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! When you are in the RODE software make sure that "always backup" is not on if you are wanting to switch to compressed. When you have "always backup" on, it will only record in uncompressed. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey Rajiv! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! If you only want to use one TX, simply be in Merge mode instead of "split" on your receiver. Press both buttons at the same time on your RX to jump between the two modes. From there you can determine if the safety channel is useful for you. For me as a working pro, I leave it on and work with it in post if I need the channel. I talk about it briefly here in this video what it means to work with two channels: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adOkes2DubewZas.html Thanks again for stopping by!

Hey hey Johnny! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! The RODE Wireless GO 2 doesn't not have a true 32-bit float recording. While the uncompressed recording is a higher quality file, its not acquired with a true 32bit float dual analogue to digital converter.

@@TLDR_filmmaker Great Thanks !

Hey hey TwinStory! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! If you're only using one mic, make sure you are on "mono" and not "stereo". If you are using two mics you have the ability to either go with mono or stereo. Mono makes it easy for you to just get a recording and upload, but if you want to edit one persons mic because they speak too loud, you won't be able to. This is why you would use stereo to get two separate recordings in camera and edit them later for the final mix. Hope this makes sense and helps! Thanks again for stopping by!

Hey hey Sam! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! I unfortunately do not have a Ninja V so I do not know how good the preamps are when recording audio to it. I'm also not sure if the Ninja V has a audio delay setting when you are using the Ninja's mic/line port. The reason I say this is because there is always a slight lag between the camera and HDMI port. So if you were to record this way you may have to re-align the audio track in editing. Depending on your application, it may be better to just have the RODE be connected to the Sony and let both video and audio signals go to the Ninja at the same time through the HDMI port. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey again English For Kids! This depends on the person speaking into it. Otherwise you will probably want to start with the GH5s at -12db and the Rode Go II at -15db. -12db on the rode should be fine, but again it really depends on who's talking into the microphone. Basically keep the GH5s at -12 and then adjust the RODE so that whoever is talking can get their voice level to the -6db sound bar on the GH5s.
