  • Every filmmaker should use an audio recorder because it allows them to capture high-quality audio that is essential for a professional-sounding film. Good audio can be the difference between a mediocre film and a great one. An audio recorder allows you to capture dialogue, sound effects, and ambiance separately, giving you more control over the audio in post-production. Additionally, an audio recorder allows you to capture audio in a separate track, which means that you can edit and mix the audio separately from the video, giving you more flexibility and control over the final sound. Having a separate audio recording also means that if the audio recorded on the camera is not of good quality, you have a separate audio track to work with. Overall, using an audio recorder is a necessary step in achieving professional-sounding audio in your film.
    Today I share with you a few reasons why you need an audio recorder in your camera bag. Wether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, there are many reasons to have an audio recorder on hand. I mainly focus around the Zoom H4N Pro, but also touch a little on the Tascam DR-40. Pairing those up with various Rode and Sennheiser microphones. All the equipment I've used in this video is liked below:

    Thanks for this. I put my H4n away for the last 2 years. On taking it out I now find it covered with a horrible sticky layer. The rubberized plastic has somehow sweated out a glue-like substance. A glance a TH-cam tells me I'm not the 1st!

    So many awesome recorders out there... the real stars in this though is the Rode and Sennheiser microphone... I use a much smaller recorder with a wired Lav mic and it's clean as can be and it still allows me to have the multiple tracks and sync in post. Something I picked up for weddings.

      @@rynfilms Some Cheap Chinese things from Amazon... cost about $20 a piece .... put some Rode Lav mics and works well, I was really just looking for something to get quick and cheap as "back up" audio but it turned out to be the right fit. I didn't think I would do enough weddings to upgrade and just never really saw the need to.

    (Where did you film that, by the way? I don't recognize that area.)
    Great video! Recently got a basic ol' H1n and it has already transformed my audio significantly. Love that little guy.

    • @rynfilms
      @rynfilms  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Awesome! I haven't used the H1n yet.
      That was Fat Mans Pass on South Mountain. 🌵
      It's a neat area, takes a little work to get to though.

    Surprised that you're doing an H4 vid now when Zoom is up to the H8. I have an H5 and love it! Good info.

      At some point I have to stop upgrading for a while! 🤣
      I started this video over a year ago. It's just one of those I had put so much work into I just wanted to get it done. Still a great recorder though!

      @@rynfilms yeah! I was really surprised at just how well my H5 worked as a VoiceOver mic recently in my echo-prone office while doing a tutorial video for my daughter's video footage. They are solid recorders! Always enjoy your content, Ryan!

      depends on the person, what they want, need, and their budget...
      I got sold a H4N Pro this year when I decided I wanted to get into filming. keep in mind that's 2 years after your comment. it's 2023 now.

    Could I ask what lac mic you use? I have the h4n and the rode wireless go and the audio seems muffed with the rode lav+

    • @rynfilms
      @rynfilms  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don't know the exact one, but it's the one that comes with the Rodelink kit.

  • @projecthowto
    @projecthowto 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Even the h1n sounds better than the recording on r5
    In both cases using the RODE film maker.
    The only annoying thing is syncing the audio

    • @KaiTiura
      @KaiTiura 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You are using the snap, or clap, method to have a loud sound to synch by?

    • @rynfilms
      @rynfilms  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I find that the auto sync in Premiere does a really good job most of the time. It could be harder in other programs.
