Where do I hide my mic ?

[@andrewp911]

Markus is exactly right regarding the hair. I started losing mine "big time" in my 20s (and my two grandfathers are completely bald) and for me, as long as I took green formulas with a lot of seaweed in it, I kept my hair. Also, for some reason I lost FAR LESS hair every time I stopped eating meat for awhile. The one formula I would recommend today to reduce hair loss is and help regrow hair is Markus "Age Free". To this day (I have been on it for years) it does WONDERS for my hairline. I should have been bald 20 years ago. . . with the right herbs / green shakes, you can keep your hair! Don't give up.

[@MarkusPix]

Yes that is true. but YOU hold the reins and can control that dominance by your choices- especially the American male's programming to consume beef and dairy- which contains hormones from an animal that naturally has hormones that make it grow to be 2000 lbs, which aggressibely raises testosterone and IGF-1 levels in people who consume it (most American men) resulting in DHT and hair loss and enlarged prostates and eventually prostate and colon cancer. Hormone levels need to be balanced and this can be greatly affected with diet and lifestyle. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK557634/

It's creative, tricky, practical, and eye opening. Those hidden areas make good sense. I think the "in hair mic" sounds really good. I think it makes less noises, because you don't blow the mic that way. Fun to watch as always. Can't wait to watch the next video.

Damn, I've been bald for over 30 years... but I do have a beard. Hmmmmm... :-) Unfortunately, male pattern baldness is generally dictated by your genetics, not your health. I'm 69 and can do 40 push-ups without a pause and walk 20Km in a day so I'm fit and healthy -- but still bald :-)

[@grantsutton8727]

Maybe we could market a new men's hair piece that's fitted with dual mics with built in deadcat wind blocking (color matched). Imagine how fast mic setup would be.

[@MarkusPix]

The biggest reason is too much DHT which is usually from the American male's brainwashed obsession with eating beef and dairy all the time, so they can grow big muscles and be manly. Cows naturally have hormones that make them grow to be 2000 lbs. When humans eat those hormones, they get way too much testosterone, resulting in DHT resulting in hair loss. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK557634/ How come other cultures that do not eat lots of beef do not lose their hair? The second biggest reason is stress. Genetics plays a part, but in the worldwide picture of human males, its a small one.

[@grantsutton8727]

@@MarkusPix actually Markus its a fact that testosterone levels in males has seriously dropped in the West. High levels of a estrogen mimicing chemical from soy is in products etc its becoming a real problem. Check into it.

[@xjet]

@@MarkusPix I wish it was as simple as that. I have a couple of good friends that are health-nuts (vegans as well). They don't touch anything that's processed but one of them is even balder than me -- and he's younger than me! I'm sure that bad diet can worsen the effects of male-pattern baldness or hasten its onset but ultimately, unless you're a woman or a man taking estrogen to counter the natural testosterone in your system then it's mainly a roll of the dice. :(

[@MarkusPix]

Lol. Soy phytoestrogens are 4 times weaker than flax does NOT lead to estrogenic health issues and hair loss lol. All plants contain phytoestrogens which are compounds that block estrogen receptors which is good because it prevents stronger estrogens from taking hold- like from plastics, chemicals, preservatives, drugs, pesticides etc. Soy itself is not an issue- maybe if it was sprayed with pesticides like Roundup, then yes, but it's not the soy itself. Commercially raised cows and animals are much worse- they are not only fed pesticide-laden crop foods, but also injected with estrogen so they get fatter faster so they weigh more and can be sold by the pound for more money. Cows also already naturally contain hormones that make them grow to be 2,000 lbs and when people eat those cows (and dairy) they get the cow's natural hormones, the estrogenic pesticides they were fed that stored in the fat cells, the estrogen they were injected with and the estrogen the cow itself produced from all the stress. (Stress produces estrogen) So that my friend is a hundred times worse than soy.

[@radiozelaza]

I used to put a voice recorder with a built-in mic into a front pocket on a t-shirt. Sometimes it yielded great, clear audio - sometimes not, when the pocket was lower. When the pocket was too large, the recorder could skew away from the face and ruin the quality as well

I struggle with good sound on videos so I appreciate your input. When I'm indoors it's easy enough to just have my condenser mic out of the frame. Outdoors is always more difficult because I'm reviewing a piece of gear or handling a firearm.

Enjoyed this a lot Markus. There is an absolute epidemic of KZbinrs covering their faces with big mics to look like Howard stern or Joe Rogan (or Larry King). I use an underslung shotgun usually just out of frame, something I learned from Marques Brownlee in his skillshare course. But this is a good technique I should try. Since none of the earworn mics match my skin tone, in the hair may be perfect.

I knew. The hypoallergenic tape is key to any on skin setup. Don’t ever risk an allergic response from your talent for good sound. Done the right way, close and hidden is the best.

I was watching this one video of someone using a Tascam DR10 and the voice was so clear from the subject but the ambient traffic noise and car engine noise was very quiet. I thought it was edited in post but then they said it was not edited and it was solely the Lav Mic that comes with the Tascam DR10.

[@janinadavidthompson4949]

We've been looking at a tascam x8 as a potential first recorder as we have been wedding photographers who are now filming too. My question for you or anyone else.... is how much of a difference does 32bit float make vs 24 ? is it marketing hype like megapixels? I dont mind spending more if it can help lead to a better product. Along those same lines... we've put a lot more money into glass and lighting over bodies,,,, is there a similar analogy with sound? importance of different mics vs recorders etc?

[@MarkusPix]

32 bit float means you can't distort which is great, by why do you need 8 tracks for recording?

[@sjococo]

During a wedding there will be music and it can be loud, so a microphone that can handle 130 dBA SPL comes in handy. I bought 2 Zoom H1 when they came out like 10 years ago and recorded concerts with them. Great little recorders...

@@MarkusPix Yeah I really don't know. My answer is a bit naïve in that I saw a youtuber talking it up... LOL. The film side is very new and I have a lot to learn and am hungry to learn. Practice makes permanent so I often try to research and ask wiser people alot before jumping towards anything as its helped alot in life with growth in various fields. I saw this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIS2iJachLyMbsU so i must get one...no joking but curious along with the smaller 2 track Zoom F3 at the same price.... but also completely open to other recorders.

[@MarkusPix]

@@sjococo Its not just a mic that can handle loud sounds- but also the recorder- either 32 bit float or proper recording levels or -12db backup track

[@sjococo]

@@MarkusPix yes, every component should not be overloaded with too high sound level so it clips and distorts. It starts with the sound pickup element and that's why everybody should choose wisely... every part of his or her setup... If you do not have the time to choose a certain microphone and recorder for the father that speeches at the wedding followed by the mother, you just need something universal and quite foolproof. Something that can handle hard rock music sound pressure levels is a good starting point for recording a wedding in my humble opinion. From there one can build a system that works... within the budget...
