You know what I love about your videos: you don't just say, "here's a tip." You guys say, "here's a tip, here's the why and here's the example."

Tip #11 Make sure your mic is plugged in properly on your camera. Learned this the hard way. 🤣

[@muntupoetslegacy7760]

Real Talk! And make sure your assistant is aware you have turned the mics on so they don't turn the mics off inadvertently!

[@Brantopias]

And that it's on!

[@yanyanxu1222]

Tip #12 Make sure you hit the record button!

[@alexm.verdejo6231]

So fucking real. xD

[@ScottGerke]

how bout plugged in at all. Learned this the hard way far tooooooooo many times :)

[@smartdrivetest]

Thanks Nick, thanks Parker - some great tips in improving the audio. And some DIY tips too that are super helpful. I'm working to improve my audio in my videos. I liked the blanket hack for improving audio in an empty room. And the placement of the mic in a car owing to the fact that I shoot a lot of my videos in a vehicle. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@sanpedro7921]

Parker is here am sooooooo happy to watch you, I haven't joined full time filmmaker yet but just your KZbin videos have taught me a lot about filmmaking... You are my hero much love from Africa.... Can't wait to join the course

[@gustavendayishimiye3366]

Thank you.

[@becomingheroes1734]

What a powerfully practical, and clear and comprehensive guide to narrative editing. Thanks, guys!

[@studiocorax8790]

Your tutorials are first class. What I'll take with me from this clip is especially the tips with the blankets and the relation between back ground music and the voice.

[@TheBrandonLeeCook]

such a helpful video, the in car audio scene and the actors holding the mic was interesting! thanks for creating this!

[@flowremix]

Man. I'm watching all your videos during this quarantine stay home times. Thanks guys! Can't wait to apply what I learn!

[@merarigarcinov8234]

Omg your KZbin videos look soooo professional, thank you for this video, I’m currently working on a video for my school, and I’m in charge of sound ... this is gonna help a lot, thank you!

[@ILoveTheGreyScale]

I love how quick and to the pint you guys are. Great stuff. Thank you.

[@VigneshDhakshinamoorthy]

Been streaming audio related content for a couple hours now, this easily ranks #1. As always great quality content @Parker!

[@qwiklok]

Excellent - love the fast high pace, no nonsense. no fluff. Good.

[@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears]

This is exactly what I have been looking for. Audio can be really complicated and often videos don't cover the first steps of doing the audio correctly.

[@NearPerfect]

That's an amazing video that gave me the knowledge from basic to advanced steps to ensure clean audio capture during my KZbin shoots. Thanks a ton. Keep up the good work.

[@davepov]

Great video Parker. Good tips for beginners and I learned a few things even though I've been involved in video production for over 30 years. Recently we added the audio-technica AT2035 mini mixer to our audio package. When shooting with our mirrorless cameras, it allows us to output a low-level feed into our camera via the mic input. This signal is then passed through the HDMI cable to our Atomos Inferno. When I'm using our Sony a7R III, we get great audio on the SD card in the camera, great audio on the SSD in the Atomos and as a 3rd back-up (yes, I'm paranoid about audio), we can record on the SD card in the mixer. Plus, we get great control over levels with the mixer. It's small, light weight and runs on AA batteries. I recommend it as a nice addition to anyone's audio kit.

[@TheHeartsandcake90]

Great video!

[@GabrielNg]

GHHHHHH SOO MUCH FREAKING VALUE THANK YOU GUYS :))))

[@billburkhart]

Thank you for making this video, it helped me decide between the Rode NT 1 kit and the Shure sm 7 b. Thank you.

[@jermainenaidoo]

This is such a professional video! Amazing work guys

[@ejphotography7514]

Duuuuude!!!! MASSIVE VALUE HERE!!! Thanks Parker! 🤙🏽🙌🏽💯

[@MrJgonzo23]

You guys are the absolute best. Thanks to this video I was able to complete an almost impossible task for me at work as a beginner and the results were unreal from the bottom of my heart... thank you for all that you do.

[@lisapotter8365]

Awesome video. Love the contrast between the various sound qualities. It really illustrate your points

[@AmadoWildlifeVideos]

Topical for me, I just had a lav die pre-event and no boom help, only onboard-camera sennheiser. The tips on Synching etc in Premiere Pro are just what I needed....along with a c-stand. This is very well mapped out video. Applause.

[@GoofyJuice]

so much knowledge in these videos!!

[@cynlagos]

This was incredibly helpful and so many different parts

[@StringForJoy]

Love your videos, man! You are an inspiration as I learn to film my own music videos.

[@themonk51]

Nice job, Parker. Thank you for producing this video.

[@WaleedAlfudhaili]

By far this is the best video sound tutorial on KZbin so-far. Thanks so much.

[@MateenManek]

This video is like value overload. So many things that are so valuable. This is awesome!!!

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

I recently purchased the Rode Wireless Go and love them! My video quality has improved drastically since incorporating them!

[@UncompassedLife]

What a GREAT set of tips! We will be using this as a guide today! THANKS!!

[@onelifekush]

This was so helpful. Thanks so much Parker 👏

[@danggood]

This video is great. Such good examples. and the video clips in some of the premiere recording are videos of what you are saying. its just really well thought out and well done. you've earned a sub.

[@KabirKotwal]

You guys provide great value straight on youtube. Thank You

[@zakibentchikou]

Bro, Thank you for the video, it's very helpful, and I love the production !!

[@BenjaminGib]

I’m going to always point people to this video who keep making videos but don’t know a thing about audio. Thanks for showing and recording the differences!

[@SidewaysUpJoe]

Thanks for the video, so many helpful tips. Gonna toss out another one (sorry if mentioned and i missed it): controlled background sounds. If your inside and there is a AC unit (or central air); turn it off when possible, if there is a refrigerator; unplug, if there is forced hot air heat or any devices, utilities, fans, etc; turn them off. Sucks when your in the middle of a shot and something kicks on (unplanned and not intended to be part of the shot). Also being mind full of the environment, if by a school watch bus scheduled (or town/city transportation), kids reassess, noon church bells, things like that.... ok, maybe that was two suggestions :) Thanks again.

[@dansklrvids7303]

Thanks Again Parker 🤘🏻You and the Boyz are so thorough 🤯

[@thebritishindian1]

Wow, this video was so useful. I’ve just started a Podcast and YT Channnel and I have a very big learning curve. Thanks so much, I need to watch this video a couple of more times.

[@tomistenqvist1311]

Helpful video guys. I'll start using the dynamics effect for sure!

[@PulsarTECH]

Yea, these are great advices. Thanks for sharing. That will help me get better audio for sure!

[@danielgolder3469]

Outstanding video Parker, solid advice, great work

[@HassanCameroonMedia]

Thank you , a great video ,it was really helpful.

[@andivax]

thank you Parker and team! as always GOLD! You should mention noise removing apps like Audiotion (internal fx) and iZotope RX. Also Beatrig Sidekick for automatic sidechain a music to your voice. Thank you!!!

[@husseink64]

This much knowledge is equal to atleast 4 months of classes at film school.. u guys r legend

[@JohnnyInspiration]

These tips are extremely awesome! As a KZbinr, these tips are very helpful to me. Parker, keep up your work.

[@sayedmohamd5223]

I had to pause the video, write this and resume, you guys one of the best in tutorials everything is just super easy and supported by examples

[@GerardoJMendozaManuel89]

Great content right here, Parker. Thanks, it will indeed help me for my KZbin channel videos.

[@paulaquipel7472]

Well done, great examples and interesting. Thank you!

Knowledge, indeed, Parker! Much appreciated!

[@mjmmedia8056]

So well done! Keep up the awesome videos!

[@GetInspiredMedia]

Thank you for the tips. I particularly appreciate the sync-clap. So simple but I don't know why I have not thought about it before as I have to sync sound to video virtually every week. For me this tip is PRICELESS so thanks guys!!!

[@FenzirL]

You guys are awesome! Thank you somuch for this! 😍

[@RyanGreen]

Great tips! I think balancing music and dialogue is really important as well. One super easy tip is just to add EQ to your music and make a small cut in the high-mids, somewhere around 1k-2k. Adjust it to taste, but those are the frequencies that often get in the way of understanding a voice!

[@The_Daliban]

Wow amazing video!!thank you so much guys!❤️

[@larrytam2869]

Sound really does matter ! Thanks Parker !

[@appscoteam8105]

In depth videos like this are the best!

[@alexxu7452]

valuable lesson, thanks a lot Parker!!!

[@seriousjoke99]

Parker, is by far undoubtedly the most helpful and useful filmmaker youtube channel, which is very detailed and straightforward, where other channel tend to do unnecessary thing, he just went straight to the point and pours us with his knowledge and experience, I'm so thankful for your channel, only hope for the best for you. #goat

[@deanheadland6879]

Brilliant Video! lots of info .Many thanks

[@LeerparaCrear]

Great video. Thank you, Parker.

[@odinlee4385]

Thank you so much for this video. I will be shooting a short-film soon and I was so worried about audio.

[@mikefromflorida8357]

Audio is more than 50% of the experience. Thank you for giving audio the priority it deserves. The viewer can’t tune out annoying or inadequate audio as they can video. Otherwise good videos can be degraded by inadequate or annoying audio from a creator who is content to say “I’m just not an audio guy.”

[@ChasPorter]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

[@jules_borel]

That was very informative and well put, thanks !

[@Ionatanm]

Amazing video! Thank you guys!

[@annisasabrina8259]

Absolutely love this! Real helpful

[@FighterCombos]

Great and super complete video. Thanks!

[@michaelwarwick9930]

Excellent video! I agree with Nathan Stotts - the why and wherefore is great. Well done, you lot! (UK expression.)

[@owentuckett938]

This is a really good video tutorial. I'm never going to use the vast majority of these tips but I was captivated by the content and production values and watched the whole thing anyway. Great work.

Subscribed. Quality content. Concrete expalnations with real time examples. Hello and thanks from Baku, Azerbaijan!

[@stanmanmedia]

Just tremendous!! Really a great help!!

[@VideoUpskill]

Great collection of audio tips.

[@panagiotistsiverdis]

Amazing and helpful video.. Audio seams to me more difficult than video and this was one of the most easy to follow videos about nice audio. I'd like to see more about editing audio or about mixing audio with songs and music or with other sound effects. But overall great video guys! Thanks!

[@TexpatOTG]

Saigon is an audio challenge at every turn. Constant motorbike noise from the heavy traffic, Karaoke and "adv" speaker at busineses add to that. Indoors, most building are concrete and tile with high ceilings. The audio sounds like you are in an empty auditorium. I shoot mostly location and the challenges are constant for my KZbin content. The tips you have given are very helpful, thanks guys.

[@anishamm685]

VERY helpful indeed. Many thanks

[@Locomino]

Awesome Vid! Thank you so much!!

[@mackereltuna6661]

Thanks for this! It's definitely a big help for a beginner like me who's desiring to produce good quality audio for videos. Thanks Guys God bless you.

[@MannMygrad]

I'm so in love with this mic

[@bobbypeacock1930]

Great work! Audio can Make or break a project. I just got the zoom h6 with the shotgun attachment.

[@DeepakBhat]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge

[@elmono3939]

Cool tips ! Thx for sharing !

[@MillionKProduction]

good stuff !! thanks you guys

[@trojanette8345]

Great video. FANTASTIC, clean, tight editing. Great job guys. Q: Speaking of lav's have either of you heard of, the "Invisilav" product. I think it's a see thru lav and or one that is specifically meant for skin attachment w/ special adhesive. Also, thanks for showing the hi and low end of purchase pricing. Many other instruction videos only want to highlight the expensive items or things that will earn the creators a lot more money. that's all well and good but that may not work with everyone's budget. Thanks again for your fairness and impartiality.

[@bluefilmsltd]

Some good tips here, a few I didn't even know about.

[@electronhadi]
