32-Bit Float Audio: Every Filmmaker Needs This! 2023

[@bobs...861]

Oh yes this really works, I used to use the zoom H4n and when recording audio at weddings, where I used -20db line to mic level filters and the results were poor at best. I purchased the F3 and now feed the xlr output from the DJ's speaker directly into the F3. In post the levels can be easily reduced to very clean and clear audio. Also if the level is low, it can be raised to the level you need. One of my better choice purchases.

Thanks for sharing Brother !! Very helpful ! just added to my cart usung your link !!🤙

[@TheAutomotiveDP]

Appreciate you watching always bro!

[@shawnmarko7131]

Such a great recorder for my music too, rehearsals and live gigs. Everything is useable, a mind blower!

[@JasonDuaineHahn]

Appreciate this review. Great job Jason.

[@TheAutomotiveDP]

Thanks for watching! It means a lot!

[@RobertMTeegarden]

All about the float lyfe! Great shit, bro.

[@TheAutomotiveDP]

You ain't floatin' unless you motorboatin'

[@luxnoirefilms]

Yup. Gonna have to pick one up. Thanks Jay!

[@TheAutomotiveDP]

Simplicity bro and knowing you have the headspace is a nice reassurance on production

[@angelocreatesone]

Wow, this is on my list forsure! Great video man.

[@MediaByMK]

This looks like a dope compact sound recorder with that 32bit float bonus. Now I wish I had this one as well. Thorough review as usual bro.

[@TheAutomotiveDP]

Appreciate it, for what it does its great when you just need 2 channels and the 32-bit float is a nice option to have

[@JayGarciaStudios]

Great and informative video! the fact that you have so much to work with in case you need it is definitely a game changer..

[@TheAutomotiveDP]

Appreciate it Jay! Exactly, it's really just ease of mind on set when you're thinking about 5,000 things you're trying to pay attention to right!

[@KofiYeboah]

The way I clinched when the audio got real bad . These recorders are key 🔑

[@AllThingsFilm1]

I am so happy I picked up the Zoom F3. I captured a lot of audio tests with the F3, and I was always able to get clean audio every time. It's a no brainer, especially for run and gun and/or low budget and indie productions.

[@TheAutomotiveDP]

I seriously love this recorder!

[@TimelessAmor-sy9xo]

Do you know if you can get good audio using the F3 with the MKE600?

[@donaldjohnson3486]

This is awesome information! I’ve used the H4n, H5, and H6 and I’m always lost in the sauce with the menus. I thought of the F3 and I’m highly leaning towards it now after this video!

[@JayParmarDJ]

Did you end up getting the F3? I’m still deciding between the H6, H8 or F3

[@mikevinze]

What a coincidence! I was just looking at recorders this past week. Thinking about the H4n or H6. Now I’m going to put that F3 into consideration

[@TheAutomotiveDP]

Hell yeah! This thing is pretty dope bro as far as its ease of use!

[@rodneyturnerphoto]

Just picked this up. Well worth the money. One thing about the bluetooth adapter and the app is you're able to see the waveforms and control device. You will lose manual input when connected. Another feature is timecode when paired with UltraSync Blue unit.

[@thezmethod]

This is a game changer bro! Thanks for sharing!

[@apblivenews]

Helpful thanks

[@ch1tHappensSchool]

how does this work with voice isolation ? Would the quality of the audio be better when compared with lower bits?

[@TheAutomotiveDP]

So far using this recorder for over a year now, I have had zero issues using 32bit float combining the post workflow for voice isolation!

[@ch1tHappensSchool]

@@TheAutomotiveDP I'm sorry I meant to say, without using the built in voice isolation of the DJI mic 2, how would V1 mic and v2 mic compare if voice isolation was added using DaVinci resolve. For example, I use my mics in a gym and sometimes the speaker is right above. When I use voice isolation in davicni is does a good job but would it do a better job if I had a 32 bit float microphone ?

[@TristinTayson]

Audio sounding CRISPY 😮‍💨🔥

[@photo-markus]

How do you sync with video?

[@TheAutomotiveDP]

I do it the OG way, make sure camera has a mic and then use a Slate (clapper) or give a loud clap to the boom and on camera mic. Then in davinci I use their match waveform tool that automatically syncs it!

[@AndyJoelCandelarioMinistries]

Amazing video. I have the h4n and h6 recorders but I was thinking to get the F3 because of what you said about the 32bit and more features. Thanks new subcriber here!

[@CreateCulturePhotography]

Great video!

[@tomsunday]

Hey Jay. Thanks for the video. Quick question. What if you have input 1 and 2 plugged in and also outputting via the 3.5 out to your camera. What kind of audio can you expect to be baked in? Will input 1 be on channel 1 and input 2 on channel 2?

[@malakanmusic]

Sorry, I watched the whole thing but I’m not sure I understand, will the f3 still record in 32bit float even when connected/synced with the camera? Or to use the 32bit float you have to record separately and sync in post?

[@LCVFilms]

Im using the Zoom H5 right now, love it but might consider the F3 or something similar down the road after watching this, great job as usual bro :)

[@TheAutomotiveDP]

Thank you bro! The H5 is awesome, I know if you need more channels but want the ability of 32-bit float Tascam has their x8 model!

[@LCVFilms]

@@TheAutomotiveDP that's a great idea, I'll look into that when the time comes, thanks for tip bro.

[@fuglbird]

The background noise is very annoying. Is it your neighbour playing loud music? Protip: Try recording; when it's more quiet. The small clip where you used the shotgun microphone on your camera was much better, because the annoying background noise was masked somewhat. The reverberation in the room was far less annoying than your neighbours music or whatever it was.

[@TheAutomotiveDP]

You sound triggered

[@Emuspaul]

Stopped listening because you ruin your "clean crisp audio" with that annoying background music. But I am ordering the F3.

[@TheAutomotiveDP]

You know what’s also annoying, keyboard warriors who don’t have any videos talking on camera. Sweet drone shots tho

[@Emuspaul]

@@TheAutomotiveDP ...you are good at talking on camera, not denying that. But you need to lose the background music, or at least reduce its volume.
