Amazing. Actions speak louder than words ❤

[@DanielFrankDK]

Makes a tutorial about audio. Using only text for explanation. 10/10.

[@jnadiagetoffmyaccountloney3396]

currently do my bachelors in audio engineering just watched ur tutorial and it was great, informative, clear and helpful, thanks keep up the good work guys!:)

[@flybynightrush]

Haha, the outro credits was good xD Good info there, thanks.

[@thehappyoutlet]

Clean, simple instructions. This was a great refresher on audio production. Great job!

[@simeonhendrix]

Bravo. Intelligent, well worded, great information. Audio was nice, loved the peaceful karate type movies at the end with the boom mic. Great job.

[@LoveJoyandFreedom]

I loved the music... just saying. Thanks for the vid found it helpful :)

[@gregadrobnic8842]

can you show us how to record sound when there are more then one person in video, while they have a conversation? should we use just one shotgun mic? does it stay on the same place through the whole conversation or does it move? and how should it move?

[@FireballVFX]

Maybe I will make a tutorial on that one day. But you can achieve it in several ways. You can either hold an omnidirectional microphone in between two characters or follow the dialogue by pointing a shotgun mic sequentially. You can also use two shotgun mics with two boom operators if budget allows, or use lavalier microphones instead on both of the characters. The movement depends on scene. If two characters are not moving much and are close to each other - you can follow both of them with a shotgun mic creating as less sound as you possibly can (no specific movement technique here - just rehears before the shot). If they are constantly moving around, turning their heads away or are too far away - you better use lavalier microphones. There are plenty different scenarios you sometimes have to improvise in. Hope it helps.

[@AlexanderPovyshev]

Music super! Thanks

[@ynrchannel8795]

hii its was a nice depict about the sound recording tutorail , i have zoom h4n but i like to buy xlr mic which i can use for audio recording/field recording,suggest me a xlr mics for filed recording (ambience sound,natural sounds,foley), and for boom pole to record actors voice during on set, or we have to use shotgun suggest me some budget mics which i can use for audio recording (vocal record off set during adr, actors voice record on set during production, and also field recording, should we have to buy 2 different types of mics for audio recording as well as field recoding or we can use one mic, suggest me best budget xlr mics which i can satisfy my needs for the better audio production. i dont have preamlifier but i have a recorder zoom h4n.

[@glassjaw2007]

Insightful video!

[@MahaloLuz]

Hi! Congrats!!! Nice video!! I'd like to know how to make my voice sounds like I were under the water, in distance, on the telephone, using a mask, high above the mountain , inside a coffin, behind the door, in a church, robot voice.. etc. How to modifying the sound of the voice according to the ambient/atmosphere? What kind of software should I use? How can I learn to make voice effects? What name of the person who work with sound effects? I would like to learn all about this to improve my fandubs! :) Thanks.

[@FireballVFX]

SFX (sound effects) are created in post production with many audio softwares. I am not a sound effect person, but I would say that the same old Adobe Audition or even Premiere pro has got some effects that can achieve the desired sound. But you will also need some equipment for sure. Sorry can't help too much in this field.

Per gli italiani che visualizzeranno questo video, non so perché, ma ogni volta che vedevo il pelato mi veniva in mente synergo.....

[@המכונהשבאופנוע]

love it!!!!

[@teddyaphoto4795]

Cool, but *why* the differences for film/mp3??

[@marioquinones-revolori972]

***** And like how much is the set?

[@FireballVFX]

48.0 kHz is considered to be the best to work with any frame rate per second (be it 24, 25, 29.97 or 30 frames/s) having systems. 44.1 kHz - shortly: human hearing and reproduction reasons.

[@TERRAMOUNT]

cool video!:)

[@drrobotnikmeanbeanma]

If i use a bin and put cotton in it would it work to sound proof and will it work to make a boom mic ?

[@FireballVFX]

I am not sure, I never manufactured a boom mic, I am not a manufacturer. I would advice you to check the DIY videos on making your own microphone.

[@TERRAMOUNT]

awesome :)

[@sunilhssan]

please can you mentioned the sound mixer/recorder brand used in the video and few good quality multi mic options.

[@FireballVFX]

It is Edirol R-44 mixer. I cannot mention a multi mic having a good quality. It probably depends on personal taste, skill, and choice. I used sennheiser in this video.

[@aakashchopra1484]

Why to put a mic there if one has to record audio separately anyways?

[@ihalloway]

nice tip about decibels of recorder, so -12 is for average dialoge and -6 is more like for close up low voice ?

[@objectsmedia4523]

***** how much if someone is screaming at each other.,

[@objectsmedia4523]

Thanks you

[@objectsmedia4523]

I was having screaming followed by talking.

[@FireballVFX]

I always try to stay at -12 and lower it in post if needed. If screaming is followed by talking and vice versa - just stay at highest and both will be picked up - or you can try to use 2 mics on different levels, or record the screaming bit first and then the talking bit separately.

[@GabrielPana]

Hi. How about the cable? XLR cable. Is that balanced or not? :D Thanks

[@journalismrajawat4175]

Nice video for understand

[@clurkroberts2650]

It’s called mounting on a c-stand, try it

[@FireballVFX]

It's true in a simple scene like this, but C-stand cannot follow the character if he turns around or moves away.

[@clurkroberts2650]

@@FireballVFX True, but if he turns around, the boom microphone will be off axis. My comment was mostly for Studio operations, like in this scene with an on camera talent. Moving a boom microphone within a scene needs to be rehearsed, so the Boom Op can anticipate the action and doesn’t ruin the scene for camera, or lighting. C-stands for interviews or stand ups, such as this studio setup provides optimum control of sound and mic placement. Its even more critical if you are doing a multi camera scene. It’s less distracting for talent also, not having a Boom Op dangling a boom pole and microphone over your head. Although for live action filming, the Boom Op is the only way to go, But, a C stand, used properly is an amazing tool to keep in your bag as a audio person. If you don’t normally carry one, a grip will assist to rig, just make sure you have an attachment to properly rig, using the Knuckle on a C-Stand can damage many carbon fiber poles.

[@zuzkarory]

Hi. Can anybody or you, plz help me/others with a unique topic, not explored very often: making a film w/out audio crew? Here's my thoughts so far: For dialogue, 1. Give each actor a hidden ZoomH1 and their own wired lav. OR 2. Place Zoom H1's or lavs hidden on set, or just off camera. But option 1 is better i assume, no? Other ideas/reactions? Next, For the sound effects 1. You could "plant" lav mics in strategic places, 2. You could "plant" field recorders by themselves in strategic places, 3. Or tell me what you think of this idea: what about doing a take twice, and the second time not doing any video, but repeating scene as exactly as possible and having lavs attached to actor's legs (for footsteps) or arms (for doors etc.) unconventional i know, but could it work? any other ideas? thanks for any help. i think a lot of this could benefit from creative ideas regarding running sound w/out any crew. thanks again! rory

[@MagicPlatinengel]

First Idea is better... Wo once placed one micro on a table for a scene from a school theatre, but it was just as there were no mics. Try to bring them as close to the subject as possible...

[@azadsadiqli]

what is the name of the mic? or u have any link to buy it?

[@FireballVFX]

I don't remember which one exactly it was. But one of the Sennheiser wireless lavaliers. Shotgun might have been Sennheiser ME66 or Sanken. No link though.

[@ALJAMMAL83]

it is much better to mount the boom pole to tripod on wheels or something !

[@FireballVFX]

It is a good idea with a static movement or interview. But if actor moves a lot and walks around - then the lav or boom with an operator is preferable choice.

[@BlairSantos]

that's some boring music! Great video though...

[@alaskanfrogman]

The video had potential. But the textual information isn't a tutorial. A good strong narrative to go along with the steps would have been far better. There are just too many nuances that cannot be easily explained in onscreen textual information. The footage is good, but the choice of music is shit. Although the footage is good, it isn't great. It's very static and filmed only from a single camera angle. This is where a good tutorial script comes in handy and at least 2 cameras and camera operators. A narrative doesn't need to be live, especially in a tutorial. It can be recorded and edited and then dubbed in via post production. Having footage of the shot setup and the equipment setup is key to a successful tutorial/demo reel. This is NOT a successful or effective tutorial/demo. I did not finish watching because I'm not finding anything useful that I might be able to use. I skimmed through the video and it's pretty much useless because it's the same thing throughout from start to finish. How do you set up the boom pole? Where do you run and connect the wires? How about a lav mic? How do you set it up? Where do you place the mic and transmitter on the subject? Where do you setup the receiver? How do you balance the audio in and out on both transmitter and receiver? How do you calibrate the audio recording levels in a boom mic? How do you calibrate and setup the recording levels in an XY field recorder device? There are just too goddamned many open threads and loose parts that aren't addressed in this video. I'm done here... MOVING ON!!!

[@eric4709]

Turn off the annoying sound !!!!!

[@eric4709]

+George Black George - Im not stupid so don't talk to me as if I am I am fully aware of where sound controls are thanks The simple fact is that this annoying and repetitive music spoils what could have been a good video

[@marks6663]

Don't be a douche. You post videos on youtube for others, so take constructive criticism from those very others. I found the music intolerable as well. The irony is that you are telling others how to get their sound right, and yet you ruined your audio with that horrible track. If you don't want to get feedback because you are above hearing criticism, then close down the comments.

[@eric4709]

George. This is a video about the technology of Sound recording. It is NOT a study of "artistic choice". Of course you "made" the video from nothing - and for that you are to be commended. IF indeed this video is about "sound recording" - why did you not perhaps consider a "voice over" complementing the techniques being shown ? I'm certainly not a "creator" ... I'm a professionally qualified audio and electronics engineer, who ... incidentally is also a performing musician and singer for private parties and weddings, I think you need to come off the "artistic" high horse you seem to be riding ... and just be a little bit more receptive to constructive criticism. George - the music is boring and repetitive. It seems to me ( as of course a non creative individual with over 40 odd years experience in engineering ) - that as such the music does not complement the excellent message that you aret trying to convey ... But then ... what would I know ???

[@eric4709]

George. I'm sorry - but I think is YOU that doesn't understand. I'm not arguing with you or anyone else. You are actually agreeing with me !! - Quote: "we all know the music is repetitive" - So there it is !! Have a nice day

[@RorySinn]

I actually liked the music, it was nice calm background music, unlike a lot of aggressively loud and shouty tutorials and videos. I love ambient music, though, I could be biased. Great video!
