I edited out PART II portion of this video due to a number of comments concerned that it may cause damage. I have never experienced a line level source damaging a microphone input on one of my cameras or an interface. The worst I have experienced is distorted audio. This is why I set my camera's preamp as low as possible and slowly brought up the fader to get a good level. Because I do not have access to every single camera to test the mic input, and I don't have time to research the tech specs of every camera on the market to provide accurate and in depth responses, I have opted to remove this section of the video.

The problem here is that some people with far less knowledge associate distortion and clipping with audio damage where all clipping is doing (in it's most basic sense is turning sine waves into square waves).

You can also use a field recorder (e.g. ZOOM H4NPRO) with a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable and XLR microphone. It gives a nice effect on DSLR plus you have a backup on the card for possible synchronization in the software if something needs to be corrected. It is a field and stationary solution :)

Hey Piotr, this is exactly what I needed to know. So I have an interface and a Tascam DR60D mk 2 and want to connect my XLR mic into the interface first, then connect the interface into the recorder. Would a TRS into the headphone jack on the interface to XLR on the recorder be best or is there a better way?

So I'm literally about to buy my first canon camera for basic vlogging/photos and I will try setting up my interface and XLR microphone first before I go out and buy more 'on-camera' mics. I'm just a beginner at all of it so the less I need to buy at the start the better! Great tips using different methods too - I'm sure I'll use some of those other methods along the way.

Great summary. Others may have commented that some video editors including Cyberlink Power Director have an auto sync function. It's saved me many hours and allows me to record the sound separately from my camera with a good handheld recorder. My camcorder Panasonic 770 has a mic input too and I sometimes use the Tascam stereo pair external mic plugged straight in.

For the Scarlett, have you tried using the stereo outputs on the back and use the same method as the mixer's? Because afaik the Scarlett can also output a low latency audio through the stereo output. That way, you can use the headphone jack to monitor the audio, an added bonus!
@fpolonia4 жыл бұрын
I came here to see precisely that and was surprised that didn't happen. I'm wondering if it would have done any difference to the quality of the audio or not. *shurg* Would love to see that comparison but I can't seem to find a youtube video with the Scarlett being used to connect to a DSLR directly. I did see a review of another device in which the mains in the back would mute if you were using the headphone jack... Hope this wouldn't be the case here.

Great video as usual. I use to sync video and audio in post too. Clap, clap!!! Haha But I would suggest another option that i actually used when i had to record pieces for TV and I didn’t have much time for audio syncing: using the first gen of the iRig Pre (the one that has a 3.5mm TRRS plug)... This option “only” requires a mic, a XLR to XLR cable, the iRig Pre and any 3.5mm TRRS female to 3.5 TRS male adapter. Being able to select the gain on the iRig (which is battery powered) means that we can use the minimum possible amount of gain from the internal camera mic preamp. And it works. Tested.

Or on the blue yeti to dslr camera set up, you use a headphone splitter and some forme of audio limiter or external dac if you want to listen to the yeti connected to the camera, this will also work with the audio interface. You can connect a mic directly to the camera and have clean audio but to do so you'll need to utilize some forme of cloudlifter and a separate 48v phantom power box or a series of such devices for clean audio depending on the camera but this maybe completely impractical since the mixer would be the best option at that point.
