I’ve shot weddings but still learning video. I’ve done 2 so far and audio was an area I wish I could’ve done better. Definitely going to research more but this was incredibly informative. Do you have a video about attaching the mics to the couples?

@trinitymirabella 4 ай бұрын

I own the Tascam DR-10X and let me tell you that thing is a lifesaver. The battery life is incredible; I've left it running all day and it's sometimes been the only way I could get a good source of audio due to the circumstances of the day. Seriously high quality and I can always boost the bass or clean up the vocals in post if it feels a bit lacking.

Just got the zoom F3… it’s amazing and small. It’s my first 32 bit float recorder and I love the convenience of plugging in to a DJ board or a speaker and just walking away. I also use the Sony TX 650 as a piggyback onto the microphone itself. Tascam DR10 L usually on the male toast giver. Rode wireless mics rigged with magnets on female toasters. Yeah I’m obsessed

Dude yes! One of my friends used this at my last wedding and it is insanely convenient. Ill definitely be upgrading my H4N to this in the near future!

Great video! I have a quick question. Coming from a video production background, I typically use the Sennheiser G4 wireless system with my camera. However, I've noticed that many wedding videographers use the DR-10L, which records audio internally. My first question is, do the bride and groom typically allow recording throughout the entire day? I imagine there are a lot of private conversations and moments throughout the day. My second question is related to syncing audio and video clips recorded at different times. Isn't it challenging to find the right audio clips and sync them in post-production? Thank you in advance for your insights!

Careful with the F2 BT im having send mine back as it freezes when it comes to stopping the audio and doesn't save it. Its quite a common problem with some of the earlier models i'm told. Just a heads up

How did I not know about the Tascam Dr-10x!? The thing I hate about my H4N is that the auto level feature doesn't work, I love my Tascam DR10Ls because they are simple and I can always rely on them. Definitely gonna pick up a DR-10x so I can have that same peace of mind with DJ boards and toasts

Amazing video, thank you! Would you say that on camera mic is must have? Is it actual backup or main source of audio, what is it really used for? if we have Bride and Groom wired up and from the dance floor we can't really use sound (copywrites). It's more for like guests responses etc? Would it better to get "wide" on camera mic or directional? Thank you!

@WaywardNorth 4 ай бұрын

not a must have but is nice to have. It can help bring more warmth and quality to the ambient audio you capture in camera. I use mine for natural sounds from the day (birds, ambience, scratch audio from the day) it is a backup source from the day. I use the Tascam DR10L and Zoom H6 for capturing professional level sound on the day

@handsofasportsmanhoas9115 2 жыл бұрын

Great video, I use the Zoom H4 as you do and I also use the Tascam white for the bride and love it. I found the tascam after I purchased the Rode Go 2 which I see you didn’t recommend but they have been great for me capturing audio from the dad, groom, pastor and I also attach them to the microphone for speeches. Quick question do you use a audio actuator with the H4? Thanks

@WaywardNorth 2 жыл бұрын

I haven't used one with the H4 but I have heard good things about the Cloud Lifter - Activator paired with the H4N. It is probably better to use one for cleaner sound.

@JaredRibic Жыл бұрын

Thanks for this. I've been using the RØDE Wireless Go II system, which is great because they record internally in addition to transmitting (until you do a firmware upgrade and forget to check that auto-record is turned on). If they were 32-bit floating, they would be perfect for me. I've seen the *Instamic* once when working with another videographer and was mildly interested, but now that I'm seeing you describe it, I'm very interested. I went to their website and I'm about to pre-order two of their new 32-bit float versions. I just wish they also came in white (and had longer battery life).

I cannot fathom a bride feeling cool with being miced up for 9 hours. How exactly are you convincing them on this?

@WaywardNorth 2 жыл бұрын

It is actually a lot easier than you think. I use a URSA mic strap that attaches to the brides leg, similar to a garter. I do talk to my brides about this before the wedding day so it isn't a surprise but most brides are actually cool with it. They can't feel the mic at all because it is attached to the dress with Rycote Stickies and the URSA mic strap. Great video topic for a future vid!!

I really want the Zoom f2 for elopements! but is it enough to get one and put it on the groom? will I still hear the priest and the bride? or how do I go about that??

@WaywardNorth 2 жыл бұрын

I would recommend at-least 2 recorders. If you aren't fully comfortable mic'ing the bride you can 100% get away with mic'ing the groom and the officiant. Since the bride is usually facing the Groom during the ceremony, you can pick her up well but the officiant oftentimes can sound faint or shallow with just a mic on the groom.

@gunnarbjarkiii 2 жыл бұрын

@@WaywardNorth oh okay, then it might make more sense to get the DJI mic that's coming out since that has 2 mics, and I own 2 lav mics
