Best Microphones for Creators in 2018

[@51Drones]

Found your channel 20 minutes ago and I've already learned 3 awesome tips! Can't wait to watch more! Thank you.

[@brucewilliamsstudio4932]

Watch how the neon banana keeps moving around the room....

[@DJTronuk]

3:32 - "Maybe you just wanna kick around a soccer ball! [Kick] " 😂😂👌🏾👌🏾

[@shotbygilmaddy213]

HAHA made me chuckle too =)

[@filnobep]

😂 that was random

[@THEKITPLUG]

Bro, the very first thing I noticed about your videos is the audio quality. So glad you told me what you use, I will definitely be getting one. Keep up the great content!

[@soamjena]

I use NTG4+ in my KZbin studio. And I use film maker kit in the weddings. And video mic pro for my vlogging.

[@brianmillerspeaks]

Great overview. I do a lot of "audio for video creators" content coming from an audio background, and I'm always telling people to make sure you evaluate audio with headphones on, not on your smartphone or computer speakers. Then I was watching your video casually while eating breakfast and laughed at the fact that through my Note 8 speakers, every single option except for the internal camera mics was indiscernable from each other LOL. We spend so much time getting pristine audio, and then people listen on tiny tin cans and it doesnt end up mattering.

[@utjale]

DAMN! Watched all of your videos in a day, love all of it!

[@danielschiffer]

Thank you so much. That means a lot!

[@andivax]

thank you! unfortunately Filmmaker Kit doesn't support second mic ((

[@MoonbearDiedHere]

Great simple and to the point video. I've the videomicro for almost a year now. I love it. The compact size made me get it. The only thing is now I want to upgrade or find a way to have my interview type footage sounds better without having to be too close to the mic.

[@byrdmaninjapan4600]

Using the Sennheiser MKE 600 and love it. Just another option.

[@TrailerYacht]

People do not appreciate is how much work goes into quality photography & videography. Its interesting to watch the changing window light - indicative of how much work actually went into creating a 5 minute long short video . . .

[@AstroHBF]

I get the feeling you rate rode gear! Great vid! B-Roll was fantastic too

[@danielschiffer]

HBFilms Thanks so much!

[@parweentaheri]

wow this was really helpful n i appreciate how you tested out each mic in the vid 🤙🏼

[@danielschiffer]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@Serving101]

so nice to hear them back to back - thank you!

[@oleeoreo]

As a starting content creator, this is the type of video I really need to see.

[@arnavkamo]

I HIGHLY REGRET not checking out your channel earlier! The content you make is absolutely awesome 👏 keep it up!

[@SousVideEverything]

Thanks for the video brother. Learned alot from your videos. Can you go over the set up for the rode mic pro +. I am not sure I am using it correctly and I feel like it could me better for my videos. Thanks brother 👍

[@whayls]

Hey just came across your channel today, really nice work!

[@siddallj]

I use the Rode NT USB, Rode video mic Pro and rode micro, they are all fantastic.

[@PoppinDan]

Perfect video what what I needed. Thank you thank you thank you

[@darrenferony9769]

Yo awesome channel man, very informative and straight to the point keep it up!

[@VidhuKota]

Great video once again Daniel!!!

[@ChrisLeung]

Just came across your channel and I love it! Quick and to the point, very informative too. 2 Videos I would like to see is your Camera Settings for your Sony a6300 - Picture Profile and Export Settings for KZbin.

[@bertodemesa]

It's 2020 and I'm still watching this video for reference. Thank you for uploading quality and useful vids, Daniel! 💯🔥

[@AntonioMedvedev]

Hey Daniel! It would be interesting to see your shooting adjustments on Sony a6300 (best exposure setting, focus adjustment, noise reduction, picture profile, etc.) and to show how the shots look like before the post production! I think that could be very useful tutorial :)

[@GoProMeetsAeon]

Do you use your a6300 for all your work?? looks amazing! Do you have a video showing your picture profiles?

[@AlexVizeoVoyage]

Really really great channel !!

[@danielschiffer]

Thank you so much!

[@AndreasKryp]

what picture profile settings do you use??? your main shot looks amazing!

[@diyardashti8996]

Cool Video, what lens did you shoot this with?

[@SlimSloogy]

Hey ! Could you please tell me wether there is a way to set a micro on top of a camera even it is not designed to set on top of the camera ?

[@BenjiDWJ]

Awesome video with interesting & insightful content in addition to sharing a lot of very useful and helpful info :). As someone who is looking into upping their sound & overall audio quality for youtube, this video has definitely helped me to add an extra microphone or 2 to my want/wishlist keep up the stellar work!.

[@jackmerrick78]

Do you need preamps for these mics to get the full potential? Thank you!

[@Sherparts]

Yo I am so happy that mics these good are within $200-$400 this is a jackpot!!!

[@HenryEdward]

Awesome Video as Usual Daniel! I wanna get the Rode Video Mic Pro but DAMN! That price tag😂

[@JDTechTV]

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii needed this man. Thanks buddy. Definitely need an audio upgrade.

[@ParsaOfficial]

Post Notification squad!!!! Legend uploading another banger!!!

[@Chogogo717]

Do you use any soundproofing to help clean up your sound at all?

[@oscarloaiza1111]

Thanks for sharing this man! Really value information! Highly recommended for those who just came to your channel for the very fort time.

[@danielschiffer]

Thanks man! How did you find my channel if you don't mind me asking?

[@oscarloaiza1111]

Daniel Schiffer I searched for Daniel Schiffer and that's it!... lol naah JK! I'm into the filmmaking learning process and improving my social media so KZbin recommended me your video on the right side. I checked it out, you really have great content, I liked it and you got a new subscriber. I have some cinematic videos in my channel, I love cinematic style as much as photography.

[@salllom123]

2 days ago i found your channel and u were 112k follower , now u reach 116k . Really really u r awesome and i learned a lot from each video u made keep going. (A follower from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦)

[@chudierpelpel3678]

What are some good external microphones for the iPhone?

[@zdeca1]

have you tried the takstar mic? I think it would make for a good comparison video vs the video micro... It's about the same price

[@brandonliddick8403]

So I like to shoot short films and narrative content, I also am in a media club at my school which requires me to do a lot of commercial like shoots. I'm in the midst of editing an 'Alaskan summer vacation vlog' and I need something to do VO with. I was going to get an interface and the AT2020, but then I opted out for the lack of flexibility. So now I'm looking to get an H4n Pro and a boom mic, but there is not many videos going over them specifically. I would like one thats under $200 but also has pretty decent sound. Would you know of anything that might fit what I need?

[@AndyBlackmedical]

very helpful! Would be interested to find out how you sync audio and video in post, particularly with speech!

[@danielschiffer]

All of the audio in this video is being recorded by the camera. However, for the NTG4+ and the NT1 I have the XLR cable ran into my Zoom H5 which has a line out to my camera which is still recording the audio. The advantage of doing this is that you can turn down the recording level of the camera all the way and essentially use the Zoom H5 as a preamp to control the gain or levels of the audio going into the camera. This cleans up the sound and removes a lot of hiss.

[@tholasworld8139]

Thanks for this video, its really helpful.

[@vinceopra]

You should do an episode, where you show the best headphones for video editing.

[@VideoUpskill]

Really cool, did you do those broll product shots at 120fps handheld? Look great.

[@danielschiffer]

I actually was testing out my new Zhiyun Crane Plus on those shots! Thanks for the comment!

[@VideoUpskill]

Daniel Schiffer Looks brilliant, I upgraded my Crane v1 to new firmware and it's tilting up at random times lol. Maybe time to get crane plus lol.

[@TheDopeAMBro]

What are your camera setting on? I love how this video looks

[@DJTronuk]

Great video as usual Daniel! Haha ✊🏾

[@StyleArchitexts]

Great video my dude, I just got a Sony A6000 so none of those microphones would connect with my camera. Do you have any other recommendations for the Sony A6000?

[@justinbuice]

I have both the Video Micro and the Rode Link. The wireless lav is handy in some situations, but I'm disappointed with the audio quality, especially since it's on the expensive side. I guess you are paying for the wireless technology

[@MrMike304TV]

Nice comparison video!

[@w1zard_plays]

Hey! Thank You for making this video I'm going to start YT and this video is very usefull

[@royanreimer9652]

as i was eating a banana while i was watching this, my eyes were drawn to the banana sign in the back and it gave me a chuckle

[@Farbod_media]

Great channel, subscribed

[@neosinfo38]

Thanks for the vid! What is your recommendation when u need to record 2 people talking same time and they r more far from camera. How u would use the rode filmmaking kit ? I guess u need to buy something extra. Is there a cheapest option for wireless recording of two people ? Thanks a lot!!

[@muhammad_dng]

Daniel is back with another amazing vid! (I forgot to ask this before. If I have a smartphone and a blue snowball but no other gear should I invest in a cheap camera such as a t3i or should I upgrade my lights and tripod?)

[@muhammad_dng]

Felipe Olvera thanks,

[@changizkharazi1328]

which lenses do you use with your sony camera?

[@darshanbalotre8507]

Hello bro Are focus points important while shooting a video.

[@DesoloZantas]

Please add a De-Esser

[@JonasTechTV]

I purchased the rode link filmmaker kit, but it sounds much cheaper then I was expecting. It has some sort of backround noise and is not neutral rather a bit to "deep"... Any tipps or sugesstions ?

[@danielschiffer]

Turn the audio level on your camera as low as possible and the turn up the dB level on the rode link. If it's still too quiet, then start slowly increasing the cameras audio level until you've achieved perfect levels. In post-production you'll want to adjust the EQ to make it less bassy as you mentioned. Up the mids and highs and you should be good.

[@JonasTechTV]

I got the audio on my G7 as low as possible, but it hasnt worked really well.

[@creatornelson]

bro! what are your thoughts on variable ND filters for the sony a6500? any specific brand you would recommend?

[@danielschiffer]

Hoya is pretty good!

[@jimmyispromo]

FANTASTIC!

[@julienmilan]

Good as always !

[@miltonholdiem456]

Hey Daniel! What would you say would be the best for a portable setup to make song cover videos?

[@EstebanBenitesFilms]

Hey Daniel, I have a question. What about outdoor interview filming, with wind. Does this mics (like the Rode you mention) will help?

[@wilcolombaard4506]

Awesome video 😌

[@BlakesGarage]

Dude I was trying to find your channel and couldn’t figure it out then I saw the banana light boom🔥 subscribed👍

[@WillStinton]

I’m happy with the VideoMic Go, but most people seem to say go with the Micro or go with the Pro 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@thebtdestroyer350]

what recorder do you use for the ntg4?

[@Amadej8]

what about RODE Videomic GO?

[@dylankyang]

Ehhhhh let's go!!! Daniel up-ing the upload game 🎙️🎤🎥📷

[@ITian]

why i dont notice difference in sound qaulity between videomic pro and ntg4+ . you said ntg4+ is on another level

[@mish19811]

What lens you used in this video ?

[@LuisCandyShop]

Great video!

[@SteveCoutts]

Are you recording in camera or a separate device like a Zoom? Thanks for the video!

[@danielschiffer]

Steve Coutts All of the audio in this video is being recorded by the camera.

[@SteveCoutts]

Very helpful, thanks man! 😀

[@KidsMakingArt]

hey i really like your videos you just got a sub!

[@vegardpedersen]

Is the rode videomic pro+ good enough to shoot a short film, or will it don't work?

[@danielschiffer]

Vegard Pedersen you could use it to shoot a low budget short film but you’ll need very good conditions! (Minimal wind, soundproofing etc.)

[@ahmedmustapha5051]

Daniel Schiffer What mic(s) would you recommend then for a medium budget short film if the pro+ isn't the greatest ever...?

[@vegardpedersen]

OK, thanks for answering :-)

[@skakdosmer]

Did RØDE sponsor this video? Or did they give you any free gear?

[@bepbe11]

Please let me know which microphone is best for ASMR?

[@peterafilms]

Insane camera quality

[@yourstrulyeliz]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thank you for this

[@danielschiffer]

You're welcome!

[@daoquang900]

i have watched like tons of comparisons like this abt these mics and all of them have different results lol... so it's best to go out there and test for yourself guys...

[@SimpLeeBeth]

Why not the NGT1?

[@TeamOrdigamer]

From Montreal?

[@CineFactoryNL]

I like how you can see it turning from day into night if you look at the window in the background

[@attxoniix]

You always seem to help :)

[@Zachbfilms]

Great video!!!!

[@OutbackOntario]

the shot of the guy kicking the soccer ball distracted my brain for the rest of the video.

[@pattywantso9345]

[@MarvenCelion]
