What sound tricks have you been wanting to try out?

[@federicobanos624]

Making a Kontakt instrument full of punches for low budget projects, so I can play the punches instead of recording foley or dragging separate samples

[@ThisIsTechToday]

That dual mic technique at the end is both a 🤯 and a "duh" moment for me. Makes so much sense since I account for phase all the time when mixing bands. I may have to try that out!

[@curtisjudd]

Nice work guys. Accusonus has a plugin called ERA D which uses two microphones as input (one with the noise, one with the sound source you want to keep) which *I think* does the phase cancellation technique Andrew mentioned. Pretty useful for those noisy situations.

[@DeityMicrophones]

Ooooohhhh.... Might have to do a test to see if we can pull it off or humorously fail!

[@MarkHoltze]

Booth tone!! Booth tone for days!!! Love this video guys. Super handy

[@lamkafilmacademy]

As far as sound is concerned, this channel is the best I've ever known on youtube 😇

[@BadKarma714]

What sounds should I start to Record for a foley sound Database For Films?

[@KaidoLP]

On a scale from sphere to lobar, what would you use in a echoy room?

[@karelvanek8109]

What is the best way to make a small foley stage on a budget? (Including foley pit)

[@lewisgowing5461]

With high sound quality being more available than ever for home viewing experiences, do you think ambisonic approaches to sound spacializing could be an effective tool to make content outside of a VR? Love to hear what the pros think.

[@Dustbrigade]

Interesting. I have to do some experiments with the dual microphone phase cancellation technique. I have my doubts though as this really only works on identical signals. Is the idea to put both mics on the boompole or have a plant mic? In case of a plant mic I guess something like vocalign or Auto align to count for time differences and then flip the phase. The mic facing the noise will have a more defined noise though, sotechnically it will not sound the same and there is a risk of getting it more defined since I imagine the coloration and transients will be different.

[@5ecretcode]

What is the boom arm setup you have called?? (the stand on your desk and the thing holding your shotgun mic? Link?) what type of Audio interface are you setup with

[@AngloSaxon1]

what would you advise for a setup for field recording ie Birds singing, the sounds of nature?

[@BenjiDWJ]

An awesome episode as ever gentlemen 😁.

[@vivianhuang246]

I want to practice singing st home without disturbing my family members. I also don’t have the tools to build a sound proof studio from scratch. What should I do?

[@leokatz2428]

How du record audio when filming a 360° video?

[@Hunt3rNz]

If you could add sound to a silent film , what film would you choose?

[@birdsofray]

I want to try your mics but your v-mic D3 pro has been out of stock for like forever. I went a different route for a prod I'm working on.

[@ervzman]

Very useful, more power guys!

[@danielerlichofficial]

Is it just me or that for sound pros that their sound should be perfect I hear too much bass and not that clear voice?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Whoa. Phase cancellation trick. Can we see that for real and how to edit it? Or maybe I need to watch again? Great video!!

[@BadKarma714]

Hi my Buddy I see you every where what other channels do you watch?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

BadKarma 714 Only the Deity channel. That’s gotta get me some brownie points, right? 👍

[@DeityMicrophones]

@@BasicFilmmaker worth at least a hearted comment

[@BasicFilmmaker]

@@DeityMicrophones Yesssssssssssss! ❤

[@Q2Japan]

Really helpful as always :) Is there a recommended set-up for two people doing a low-budget (~$400) podcast? Cheers.

[@scoremoore4280]

You can use the Audio-Technica ATR 2100-USB Cardioid Dynamic USB/XLR Microphone - Cardioid, paired with the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2nd Gen, and the Audio-Technica - ATH-M20x Monitor Headphones - Black This setup will last you for years. Also remember you will need 2 xlr cable, any one should worn well. There yo go. Sorry for the bold letters I had to copy and paste the name to be correct. ☺

[@Q2Japan]

Some quality questions in this episode! 😜

[@soldier72]

Your humour is warped. Please don't change.

[@reileydiloreto1938]

You guys are awesome🔥

[@elandrue]

Hey guys. When is B&H gonna receive from you the V Mic D3 Pro? I sold my Rode Mic for this one and still backordered in B&H. Loving the Deity Connect though. Thanks

[@DeityMicrophones]

All backordered orders should be fulfilled by end of June

[@elandrue]

@@DeityMicrophones Awesome! How can I get some Deity stickers like the one on the Mac or a t shirt? Thanks!

[@hugaluga]

What are your favorite headphones for monitoring levels? Does it matter much what kind you use?

[@scoremoore4280]

Doesn't matter which, I know the question wasn't for me. However you should note that headphones does not matter, if you can listen to a low end headphone even better, cause if your recording sounds great on your phone speakers and, computer speakers, you're good to go. People will not be using high end headphones to listen to you, so you should not be concern. But you can get the Audio-Technica - ATH-M20x Monitor Headphones - Black Which is about 50 or so dollars.

[@sotocine99]

Question: How can I mic the heartbeat?

[@FluMusic2020]

Eat the mic

[@Pertamax7-HD]

nice deity

[@federicobanos624]

If you haven’t, you should watch Junkie Xl’s video about Mad Max Fury Road’s score, the drums are insane

[@MarkHoltze]

Drums are so insane

[@DeityMicrophones]

Wow, you're not kidding!

[@sizzleserveyum]
