I recommend getting the DBX286s, second hand is like 100 bucks, but it's 1 per mic, but if you do alot of podcast, you can get EQ-ed audio straight into your camera.

[@samiradean5274]

where did you get your hat printed ? it looks amazing

[@sharrodjohnson336]

Perspective: There is too much compression in the audio department. Bring in the room more w/ some reverb or something. Kinda threw me off trying to place his voice in the same room. Great content though!

What's up man! I've watched a few of your videos with podcast set up and audio/video syncing. I get having the XLRs hooked into your middle camera, but 1. how do you adjust the audio from the R/L you talked about. 2. How do you incorporate the additional angles in post production to sync with the audio? Thanks!

[@provocativeaf]

Hey Omar what's up. I have a question about mics. How good is the lavalier mic far as clarity when doing a video podcast.

I have a quick question! What can I replace the Sony xlr handle unit with? I just can’t afford the price & need to find a budget friendly one!

[@pajisounds]

Okey, very nice 👌🏾 let’s say I buy the same setup and I have 1 client/4 people. How much would I charge per session? And is it better to have Mic 🎤 arms or is it ok with dji or rode go ?

[@drnikkie]

What do you do with the other mics when you have 4 people on your show? Do you have a mic floor stand?

[@LuckyCharm40]

I just bought a rode caster pro 2 and have a couple mics. Would I need to have the xlr's into the camera or does the rode caster do that?

[@EvolutionofBuilding-eu3gg]

Im about to set up my podcast area. I have the Rodecaster with 4 zoom mics for my audio but will probably only use 1-2 mics getting started. The question is if you connected your mics to your main Sony camera how does that translate to your other cameras for second and third angles in final edit? I hope this is a good question lol!! I’m very new!!

[@chrisschumann404]

Great video as always Omar. Your studio tour videos are always so comprehensive and informative. I do want to say this because I don't know if it is intentional to get engagement in the form of commenting on it, but "infamous" means famous for bad quality or negative reasons. I've heard you say this on a few videos now when you are complimenting a piece of gear you like, but you referred to it as infamous. I don't mean to be critical in a negative way or grammar policing, but I just wated to let you know it might be having the opposite effect of what you are intending. Keep up the great work and keep these style videos coming because they are immensely helpful for beginners.

[@OmarEltakrori]

[@jojetski1]

Love your videos you have taught me a lot. I do have to disagree about the Samsung mic, it sounds nowhere near the SM7b. For $100 it probably sounds good, but I think the SM7b is worth the price. I am seeing them for $400 yes I know 4x the Samsung but you do get what you pay for. However, I should have said this video was awesome I saw some ideas for things I wasn't aware of thank you so much for going into detail!

[@EthanNistor]

I would love to see a video on how to get viral videos on KZbin in the music industry. It's different from other niches and the videos are in different styles. For example drumming videos: no talking and no hook, just drumming for the whole video. How would you manage to get viral or popular from those kind of videos? Just a thought.

[@chr1staki]

Covers or teach

[@EthanNistor]

@@chr1staki Kinda both cause I want to have 2 channels, one with covers of jazz and latin songs and one with teaching.

[@samuil5]

Just remember guys, rule of thumb in video is that audio is more important than your video, especially in podcasts. Use cheap cameras, and invest it in your audio gear.

[@sobhitakhatun1059]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Hdan]

What would be a cheaper alternative for a Camera for someone who’s just starting a pod for the first time? Someone who doesn’t want to spend as much as $2k on a camera? I wish I had the means for that but getting multiple angles with 3 cameras would make it super challenging to budget that as a low/middle class person lol

[@fidiak]

Nice

[@WilltBanks]

If you use the epidemic sound on a video podcast does the licensing allow for audio podcast that is not on KZbin?

[@nathanswehla]

Yes!

[@NextUnicorn]

Please make a video about how you would set this up much more cheaply with 3 iPhones and 2 quality mics. Thanks.

Great description of everything in the studio, but where can I get that hat? Cool. It's not in your store.

Great video. The Sony FX30 is pricey for an "Entry Level" camera for podcasters at $1,798 before you add any lenses. A Logitech 4K webcam is the real entry level.

[@thewifeschoolpodcast]

I used a foldable eating table from Walmart 😊

[@THATSTREAL]

I would LOVE to suggest some alternatives with the Video/Audio set Omar is running right now (As I currently am running a SIMILAR setup).. 1. ABSOLUTELY spend the money on 1 FX30, it is an awesome workhorse APSC camera that can be multifunctional (not only for podcast use) in your arsenal, but instead of buying the XLR version, I'd purchase the camera body alone, and with the extra $400 purchase either a Zoom H6 or H3 (h3 has less inputs BUT 32 bit float) and run that audio straight into the camera body. 2. As for the the other two camera bodies, grab 2 Sony ZV-E10's!!! I cant stress enough how WELL these cameras work as in studio b cams, the picture quality is Super nice for talking heads on a tripods and when paired with the FX30 in post they are SUPER easy to match video colors in post! and the beauty is! you can buy TWO ZV-E10's for the price of ONE FX30.. 3. The lenses that Omar chose for the wide and solo shots are pretty much exactly what id grab as well (1 sigma 16mm, 2 sigma 56mm) those will treat you well. 4. *extra* If you go the route of not buying the FX30 w/ top handle, you could also save some. money and buy the camera second hand (ebay, craigslist, facebook market place) save some cash on the tax side of the purchase, and with that little extra saved money, but a Rodecaster Duo! I have the Rodecaster pro 2 and LOVE it!!! but if the Rodecaster DUO was available when I first purchased my Pro 2, I would have gone with the Duo for its smaller more portable size! Its the exact same internals and sound quality, just with Two XLR ports and not 4. Awesome setup Omar! Studio looks awesome! Beautifully done walkthrough as well!
