Ridiculously dumb question: How did you attach the Lavalier Go inside your shirt, and did you use the pop filter? I just got the Lavalier Go and have had some issues with sharp popping sounds even when using the pop filter and the mic attached to my collar.

[@deckharlot]

In another video, she shows that he taped it on his chest with scotch or painters tape. Myself when I tried it the 🎤 brushed against my sweater and did a shhhsssshhhh sound every time I moved.

[@HooksHollands]

@@deckharlot Thank you! I had the brushing sound issue when attaching it to my hoodie, so I can imagine it would be an issue actually in a shirt.

I got the Boya BY-M1 thanks to your recommendation and loved it! But very quickly graduated to the Rode Wireless Go and pretty much been using that in most of my videos now. Especially handy when filming yoga videos... and great quality for talking head vids too. From one of YOUR recommendations too, I have the Boya BY-MM1 (Boya’s competitor of the Rode video micro here), but to be honest this is one I never use and will probably sell. I recently got the Shure MV7 for livestreams and recording meditations and I LOVE the sound quality of that. It’s not cheap but it’s worth the amazing sound. Thanks for making your educational videos, I’ve learned a lot from you! 🙌

This was a fantastic overview, thanks Justin. I was so confused about certain types of mic, and this video exceeded my expectations to help me figure things out. It set me on the path to explore the smartLav+ because I needed something to use with a mirrorless (occasionally) and my iPad (majority of the time). So I bought the Rode smartLav+ with the Rode SC3 TRRS to TRS converter. I also bought the Rode SC1 extension cable. This now has me covered for phones and cameras.

Thank you for the detailed video. I am between Oktava mk 012 and NTG 5. My need is to record indoor and outdoor dialogue for narrative. Which love to get your opinion on which you would use between the two if you could pick just one. Can a third short condenser shotgun be a better choice? Thanks

[@positivechangept8015]

great info as aways guys. Obviously a better mic is the way to go, do you have any favourite software for reducing echo/reverb in edit?

Thanks Justin, I watched your video and just bought the lav mic from your link....I was told to watch your videos from a guy in India at the Vodaphone call center of all places..I was buying a new iphone to film my youtube vids (just getting back into it and want to learn as much as I can to improve my editing as well as filming and sound) and ordered the latest iphone and the guy said I should def subscribe to your videos. So you just never know where you get your views from! I'm getting my set up done and then will start filming again in a couple of weeks....so I'll be watching a lot more of your videos!

Nice one Justin. Could you do one on microphones for narration/voiceover? I was recommended a Rode USB mic on another channel. it’s OK, but a bit tinny. Do you think an upgrade to xlr is the way forward?

Microphones are like empires, they come and go. In the 1960's I used to play with Sennheiser and they were just unreal! No pop noises, you could blow into them and they remained without artefacts. 70 years later we seem to reinvent the wheel. Sure they got smaller and more affordable and wireless ones have different operating frequencies. Has our hearing changed? Sure our perception has!
