This was a big help. Thank you so much!

[@leadflowmethod]

Just what I needed, thanks man!!

[@tyehillam8320]

Great help Mike. Have been searching for answers everywhere as to why my audio recording on screenflow was so quiet. Was starting to think the problem was my Rode Podcaster (USB mic) and that I'd have to upgrade to an XLR. This has solved the problem and no upgrade required!

[@jimmyh519]

This is great. Can't believe I learn this tip until today! Thanks!

Awesome! That trick fixed my audio recording issues with ScreenFlow. Great presentation skills, by the way! Cheers

[@MikeRussell]

Thank you Leonardo

[@saramonk]

Thank you for this great tutorial! Just recorded my first screenflow video, and now it's time to edit the sound!

[@MikeRussell]

Good luck with the editing 👍

[@VilleKinanen]

That was awesome! AUDynamicsProcessor is my new friend. :D Thanks for helping to get audio quality to next level!

[@FSP12]

Perfect!

[@MikeRussell]

Woo! 🙌

[@wcandillon]

Lots of audio plugins works well in screenflow. For instance the isotope 7 noise remover. It's a great time saver in the editing process to not have to export/import the audio back. Do you have any other plugin recommendations for screenflow?

[@bobyhobby]

ywa

[@BradWieland]

This was very helpful, Mike; thank you! What was the DBX plugin you referred to? I'm using an EV RE20 mic; do you think your settings would work well for that mic? (Of course, I know it depends a lot on the frequencies in one's voice.) I'll be watching your video on the "clap" sync also once I find it!

[@Safestill]

DBX286S - Mike's settings work great with that! I just hooked it all up with the DBX286S going into my Focusrite Solo.

[@AcademiaCoder]

Hello!!! Thanks for this, can you tell me what Video Export config do you use for KZbin? Thanks

[@MikeRussell]

The 4k 2160p preset inside Premiere Pro.

[@ClassicCyclingCC]

Hi Mike and thanks for all your great videos. I have 1 question if I may. When I record my desktop audio with Screenflow, I always get massive amount of reverb which makes the audio unusable for any kind of production. Any tips on how I can avoid reverb when capturing my desktop audio with Screenflow. I have a 2020 iMac (BigSur). Be well.

[@MikeRussell]

The best advice I can give for vocals is to record in acoustically treated space and you might also want to try a dynamic microphone. If it's the actual computer audio that's echoing then you must have the sound feeding back on itself somewhere in the chain. It's probable the output from Screenflow is flowing back to the source you're capturing. Check you audio routing to try and eliminate this.

[@ChrisGloss]

Hey Mike... Do you recommend a sound mixer? I use Screenflow with a Yeti mic and want to improve my sound quality.

[@MikeRussell]

I like Soundcraft desks. Notepad series are great!

[@christianbelanger]

Hi! Thank you so much for this! May I ask how you set the gain on your microphone and how you set the sound input in your Mac's sound references? I have a Blue Yeti and with those settings, my sound is clipping all over the place. Thank you!

[@MikeRussell]

Hi Christian, it's better to record too quiet than too loud. You can always boost quiet audio in post processing but analogue clipping is much harder to remove. This video shows you how to set you microphone levels for Adobe Audition but the principal of setting the level should transfer across kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGK0nWqDod19hrc

[@christianbelanger]

​@@MikeRussell Hi! Thank you SO MUCH for your reply. My setup is the following: my Blue Yeti is about 12" from my face, the gain of the Blue Yeti is at around 25%, the input of my Mac is at 90% (I reach between -12 and -6), and I use pretty much the same audio settings as yours in ScreenFlow. Here is an example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4uVg6Ojm7t1mJI (The "boosted" sound using your settings in ScreenFlow start at 0:45.) Can you please tell me what you think? I feel like it doesn't sound good (lots of vibrations and distortions). Maybe it's just my voice? Thanks again!

[@MikeRussell]

If you export the project with no processing do you get the same poor sound? It sounds like you need to adjust the settings in the audio processor section, particularly the master gain setting.

[@nicebluejay]

i'd like to use my countless waves plugins within screenflow, but when i select them in the dropdown, they appear as selected but then i can't do anything with them. is it not possible to use them? thanks!!

[@MatthiasKleine]

Your voice is awesome 😳

[@MikeRussell]

Thanks Matthias

[@BrendanMetcalfe]

👍👍

[@hectorsanchez1978]

Hello, I really enjoy your videos, also may I ask you a question? I really need audio advice because I'm having trouble with my audio on screen flow. I plugged in my Yeti, set it up on the interface but I can't hear any of the audio on-screen flow! I looked at a few KZbin videos, but they didn't help. It's nerve-racking. . Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

[@MikeRussell]

I’d suggest taking this to our community. Certainly from what you’ve written here there is little I could suggest but in our community you could post screenshots that may help diagnose the problem. community.musicradiocreative.com/

[@honestview]

what about just using the "Smooth volume levels"?

[@StuartHarrisSpeaker]

hi Mike - not a question related to this subject but you are the font of all things Screenflow At the weekend I created a video montage of a load of photographs for a friend's birthday - re start & ending transitions I faded in and out, which was easy to do, but... is there any way to either randmise the style of transitions or set them all to increase in & out (ie Ken Burns effect)? will save me hours of time and will look much better am just about to upgrade to V10 this afternoon

[@MikeRussell]

Thanks so much Stuart. I'm not aware of this feature in ScreenFlow. You may have more luck automating a process such as this with Premiere Pro. Check out Premiere Gal - she's ace at this stuff: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGO7amx_jKigY6M

[@neilbarman.]

Great advice that I've employed for years, but I've run into a problem when using it during the last couple of years. I'm wondering if you, Mike, or others have experience this too... In the last few videos I’ve made I’ve found that applying these techniques has introduced an occasional “crackle” in the audio. I have not found a correlation between anything in the original audio and the spot where a crackle is introduced so I’m baffled as to why the crackle is being added. Also, sometimes the crackles remains upon exporting and sometimes it vanishes… or moves. I've tried to ask Screenflow tech support but that, along with the previously very useful user forum, has been shut down. Mike, have you experienced this and if so, might you have any updated guidance on how to avoid it?

[@MikeRussell]

I recommend checking your audio interface settings and sample rate in ScreenFlow to ensure they match your recording settings and exporting in a higher quality format to potentially reduce the crackling issue. Good luck!

[@IshaErskine]

is it just me or do none of the waves or other plugin filters work, only the apple ones?

[@ccarvajalz]

What kind of witchcraft is this? It's amazing!

[@MikeRussell]

Thank you! 😃

[@breadgod8579]

Does this app rec audio from discord friends?

[@MikeRussell]

You may need to use a third party app like Rogue Amoeba's Loopback to route the audio around

[@breadgod8579]

Mike Russell ok thanks

[@snakeyplayz9546]

im in mac but its not avalible

[@MikeRussell]

Yes, Screenflow will work on a mac.

[@MichaelVHart]

The sound is quite bassy in this video. It sounds like high frequencies were limited and low frequencies were enhanced.

[@MikeRussell]

Thank you for your feedback!

[@guild_navigator]

I hear almost no difference between ScreenFlow's "Smooth Volume Levels" and the AUDynamicsProcessor. Am I doing something wrong?

[@MikeRussell]

They are essentially doing similar things (compression) so may sound fairly similar.

[@MasterCoachUniversity]

@@MikeRussell any reason to use one versus the other? a simple checkbox seems even simpler, right?

[@wcandillon]

@@MasterCoachUniversity I found that in screenflow it is better to use plugins vs smooth levels just because you have more control on the order of which these are applied. I seem to get random results sometimes with the smooth level button. With the filters the result is always consistent.

[@MasterCoachUniversity]

@@wcandillon yeah i just set it up as a default template in audio and it's now a plug and play standard for the project
