How to get professional DSLR audio: The RØDE VideoMic Guide

[@thepurpleflute9740]

This is one of the most useful video on audio I've ever seen. Thank you very much for your work.

[@AlexanderBischof]

thepurpleflute absolutely. Perfect explanations in the video. Really Great!!!

[@seanwebb605]

It's true. There are so many crap videos to wade through to find any quality on KZbin. But this is absolutely fantastic.

[@janappeldorn8042]

totaly agree!

[@fivemandown]

I love how a video starts talking about sound and my ears are witnessing the clearest crispest audio I have ever witnessed on youtube! Amazing!

[@SourceDistributionTV]

+FiveManDown Ha, got to practice what you preach, right? It's not hard to do either, just good settings at the closest distance.

[@ClarkdeBear]

This video is nearly 2 years old, alas, it was PERFECT for what I was trying to figure out. Thank you for making such an informative and thorough video. You've got a new subscriber!

[@SourceDistributionTV]

Thanks Clark! More RODE videos to come...

[@FasTrackIELTS]

I've spent so much time looking for a video like this one! Finally, I understand how to achieve a better sound quality! Thank you so much!

[@unbreakablewil3670]

I would like to take a moment to thank you for the apparent time and effort you put into this video. I appreciate not only the information provided, but the useful edits you used to audibly and visually illustrate your point. I'll be using this video as a new benchmark for my own future content.

[@andraegregoire9515]

The nostalgia lol... I remember starting my videography and editing journey in 2015 and this was 1 of the first video's I come across... it's insane how this video's point is still so powerful and accurate. Nicely done man

[@shortstraa8849]

One of the best videos I have ever seen in my LIFE. Period.

[@jamesdavis1201]

This is by far the best, most informative, and well designed video reviewing an item I've ever seen. I also love the text placement and the overall style. WONDERFUL JOB!!!!

[@RaquelGamerRJ]

Thanks for explaining so well. You really help me out. Gonna get the mono pro version!

[@marvinberry]

I don't comment very often, but just wanted to say this video is great. Clear, concise, great prod values and most importantly, engaging with a knowledgable presenter. Well done - excellent job.

[@kevinsjournal]

My Movo VXR10-Pro mic always sounds so static background when I use it, but everyone's sample clips on KZbin seem to be great, this was the best guide to dslr audio recording for beginners, thanks so much!! :)

[@paper-rosediyweddings2407]

I've watched so many videos on which microphone to buy for my DSLR and this is by far the best. Thanks!

[@shivakrishna1503]

One of the best quality of content. making the video with actual audio inputs. demonstation etc kudos.

[@guppy77]

Super helpful thank you. Had bought a VideoMic Pro, but just ordered the cable to bring it closer.

[@singwisevocals]

Excellent tutorial! I just purchased a Rode VideoMic Pro to go with my new Canon 80D. I bought it upon the recommendation of several successful KZbinrs. I didn't realize it was recorded in mono. When I upload the video file into my editing software, not only is it in mono, but it's quiet. I was only 3-4 feet away from the mic when I recorded the video and had the mic set to +20dB, as several others suggested. I had to both turn up the volume on my laptop and slide the audio up in my editing timeline. But this still doesn't solve the problem of it being mono in the recording. I can't put out a video with mono audio because it would sound unprofessional. (I've read comments with viewers complaining about how a given video's audio was in mono and it sounded like they were back in the 1980s.) When I listen to your video through headphones, I can hear the sound through both the left and right. How do I convert my embarrassing mono sound to a professional stereo sound?

[@twoblink]

You don't think the in-body sound is that bad until you actually compare; then it sounds like crap. I have a Rode mic because of videos like this. Thank you; super useful.

[@alexeydt4592]

Such a helpful video, spent hours looking for what i needed last night and you covered it all in just 15 mins

[@pttrro]

BEST VIDEO EVER ABOUT MICS AND AUDIOS IN VIDEOS, EVER. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS AMAZING VIDEO. WELL DONE, GREAT JOB.

[@alifelongfriend]

Extremely good explanation and examples of proper audio with video. Well done!

[@theflyingpint]

indeed, one of the best video tutorials I've ever watched. Big fan. Thanks !!

[@koya188]

I was looking for this EXACT advice video on sound ... Thanks A MILLION!!! Brief, to the point and with recommendations!!

[@JohnSmith-sz9bz]

Thank you for using actual audio as you discuss. It's a tremendously effective way to get people to understand the difference. I haven't seen other tutorials do this. Great stuff :)

[@keithfarquhar9819]

just bought a camera to film our students. Great video. really clear! Thanks!

[@ReljaTrajkovic]

Great video. Came here after watching a ton of videos on Rode microphones, but this one was the one I really needed. Thanks.

[@travelsinchinese640]

Wow, you just took your central thesis and rammed it home! The iPhone video was somehow better than the elaborate camera setup! Amazing!

[@TilveranWrites]

This video was INSANELY useful, thank you! I've been struggling with sound, thinking it was perhaps my gear, but nope, I just need the mic to be off the camera and closer to the subject. Simples.

[@goodphotoideas]

This video is an excellent resource for beginning and intermediate level videographers.

[@watchtinkerer7453]

Best video mic demo and explanation I've seen.

[@joerayclark]

this is probably the best video going over basic knowledge of video mic and setups, props to you and thanks for the info! -Joe Clark

[@Your6figurementor]

seriously the BEST product review I've seen. I needed this 2 YEARS ago when I started my Business mentoring channel. I'm going to go with the Rode Video mic Go for all the reasons you said! THANKS!!!

[@SourceDistributionTV]

Woop! Thanks - just please consider getting the extension as well, then you can get even closer!

[@GetUpFalcon]

Can't thank you enough for this. Well presented and no-nonsense. I am just about to purchase a Rode shotgun mic and if not for this demonstration it would have been clipped on top of the dslr and left there. Big thanks for helping out a newbie.

[@toysalive4856]

Your hard work into this video is well paid off, you got my sub friend , now to invest into a mono rode mic thank you good sir.

[@Ride_XP]

Thank you for this, you've saved me such time and effort! Really appreciate how thorough this is.

[@StevetheBartender_]

Extremely useful vid - thank you!!

[@KirstyKirby]

Great video - I know its an old one but as someone starting out I needed some reference points. Ended up going with the original video mic as the sound will be a massive step up from the camera mic. I think pricing must have changed as found the videomic for under £80 and the pro for £169. I just cant justify double right now and the original mic combined with a dead cat, rode mini tripod and the extension cable came in at £128 delivered and should be a good fit for now. Thanks again for the comprehensive content.

[@matthewmcmahon1702]

Honestly in your your first comparison I liked the sound from the built in mic in the camera.

[@SourceDistributionTV]

We might have to agree to disagree on that point! :)

[@LashanR]

This is more helpful than I could possibly put into words, thank you!!

[@ackilla86]

best video that talks about audio on youtube...thank you

[@mathildakd1]

one of the best vids on Rode microphones!

[@YogiiTube]

dude honestly speaking i found this video the best and most relevantly explained videos ever and i really mean it when i say it that you deserve more than just 11k subscribers, thanks alot for the informative video buddy. peace

[@StyleLikeAHipsta]

Thank you so much for this informational video! I've been trying to figure out the easiest way to get great audio quality and you've helped me so much!

[@koontoonsproductions6700]

I gotta join in on your engaging presentation. you are so credible.

[@jonyjonsy]

Wow! What a wonderful presentation!

[@emanuel3016]

Dude you're the best ! This is difinetly going to help my channels audio. Cheers from California mate

[@79shavi]

Concise and crisp video . Very informative , keep the good work :)

[@theTylerMorale]

Literally everything I needed to know at my current skill level with video and audio. Perfect video! Thanks

[@CraftyParis]

@SourceDistributionTV ... At first I thought "16 minutes?? come on!!" because that is a lot of time to waste watching a video that is potentially worthless. HOWEVER, this vid was one of the better vids/reviews/tips I have seen so far on DSLR RODE Mics. Thanks so much for making this. Great Vid. The only thing I need now is a "how to" work around the Sony Alpha 3000's lack of external mic input, vid. Cheers -- Crafty Paris

[@PropheticEclipses]

Thanks for the vídeo one of the best informative videos I have seen when it comes to microphones for cameras!

[@RichardMedhurst]

5:25 what kind of LED light is that? Can we get a make and model please?

[@necronomicon6666]

Great video. Awesome narration. Quality sound.

[@abigmouthful8452]

Thank you so much for this video. It has really informed and guided me and it is the only one out there that has been clear and made sense.

[@TactiCalifornia]

This video was so helpful! Thank you guys so much for putting this together it was very informative and easy to comprehend! Decided on getting the video mic pro because of this!

[@SourceDistributionTV]

+TactiCalifornia That's awesome, thanks for watching!!

[@marcoyunga556]

This video is very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

[@robertchohan2109]

Excellent video. This really helped me with understanding how important microphone positioning is when shooting (just started a foodie channel and most audio is terrible) so can't wait to try some of these tips in my next video!

[@amitabhaagupta9073]

Very Useful,was just looking for the information.Conveyed very well.thanks

[@foxphysiotherapy8685]

Really useful video, this will save us a huge amount of time figuring out how what mic to but and how to use them

[@opwave79]

This is a fantastic tutorial. I'm new to video recording and giving myself a crash course in various aspects of it before I try my hand at a couple community and family events this summer. Thank you for sharing. I learned a lot in just one video.

[@MateValtr]

Great video, buddy! No bullshits, straight to valuable informations, just how I like it. Thanks!

[@triggerd7385]

best video mic tutorial ever

[@bbffilm2514]

Thanks , I was considering to buy some sound recording equipments and kind of confusing about how to choose some according to my budget . you guys helped me a lot .

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

Thanks for this great video I'm using a Gitup 2 action camera not ideal but my channel is very you at the moment the plan is to get a canon 600d with the rode mic go thanks for such an in depth review

[@moonbee03]

This was clear and very well explained! Thanks!

[@justinbuice]

Excellent review. Im currently using a rode ntg2 with a pre amp but im tempted by the idea of being able to plug one of these videomics directly into my camera if i can still get good audio that way, thus being able to carry less with me.

[@kidcochiese]

Great video, thanks for the help !!

[@СашаМакаренко-э1х]

Great deal. Just right size for us. Wish we had bought one sooner.

[@michaelchaplin866]

[@brankrys1]

This was absolutely fantastic! Thank you. I have subscribed to your channel.

[@DanasDiary.]

You helped me so so much thank you, I had so many issues for two years with my mic now and you just solved them for me, honestly thank you x

[@SamuelRiveraFilms]

Do you have a tutorial that goes into detail on setting the cameras mic settings? I have a T6i

[@AFBFwankenstein]

I also have a T6i , and need answers as well. I just bought the Rode VideoMic. Not the Go , nor the Pro. I'm just starting out with Filming on my camera.

[@TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

That is a kickass useful video.

[@irsankomarga]

This is excellent excellent video explanation. Thank you.

[@MachineElf1111]

Brilliant Tut mate, thanks a million

[@cbacaa]

Excelent video, perfectly explained!

[@rainbowtod]

Wow that was thorough Thanks

[@Rivenworld]

Great video, thanks for sharing, as it happens I have just moved up to the NTG1 and NTG2 from much cheaper mics and the difference in quality is astonishing, I also have the Videomic and SVM both of which are excellent on my DSLR, the NTG's I use on my Canon XF cameras and they are awesome, still use my LYXPro desktop mics and I have a couple of Movo shotgun mics that are pretty close to the Rodes but yes the Rode mics (with their amazing 10 year warranty) get my vote. Thanks again.

[@ramonestradat]

Wow! Fantastic video. Thanks a lot!

[@Brunomills]

Great video. Very detailed.

[@IfIcanYoucan]
