SO an audio guy here- For your use the direct down (pointing the mic) may work the best but a 30% angle (but your right keep it in front not aimed at the head!) is what the experts use normally. That was a great simple explanation done very well. If you really want to step up your audio use a separate audio recorder like a nicer Zoom or my choice the SoundDesign Mix-Pre II series which you buch better pre-amps and XLR connections (I use a Rode NTG-3) with a Shure TwinPlex Lav that is the main mic the Shotgun mic is mainly for backup but it something picks up like a hand clap better than the lav. I know you use your Rode Rodecaster Pro as a mixer but I have not been happy with it’s output (Rumor has it the 2nd generation will offer a better output for camera’s)
Audio engineer here. Canon camera preamps universally have zero low end for some reason so using a low shelf @ about 200hz adding about 7db or more is totally normal!
Which is a good mic to record from both the front and back of the camera at the same time? I'm using my camera to interview people and I'm behind the camera asking the questions.
Hey! You changed your channel name! Nice! Great video as well! Agree with all the points about the audio settings for the cameras. I would recommend pointing the mic at your chest - so split the difference between straight down, and right at your mouth.
Shotgun microphones like VideoMic Pro do not reject sounds from behind as effectively as from the sides, and inside rooms they tend to suffer from interferences. For inside miking, a supercardioid or hypercardioid mic is better - those reject sounds from behind more effectively and don't suffer from interferences. But usually it doesn't matter for YT audio ;)
Quick question? Do you record, stream and edit on the same computer or do you have a separate area for all 3? I like having a separate area to edit and record. Eventually, I may live stream and edit on my desktop, which is in the same area, but use two different monitors.
I use my 16" MacBook for everything. I sometimes connect it to an external display when working at home, and other times take it with me and use it as a traditional laptop. My old MacBook wasn't powerful enough to stream while doing anything else, but this one seems to be up for it. 😎
@@tombuck Oh, okay! Thank you for telling me. I'm setting up my second studio, downstairs and I'm trying to get a flow that won't annoy me. I appreciate your reply:D
I've heard someone say that audio is half of video... ;) Thanks for all the great tips and reminders here. I really like the reminder to turn off "auto" levels in camera and let the microphone do that work. Also, great point about where to point the overhead mic. Thanks!
It depends on what your budget is. Camera recommendations are tough, but speaking generally, I think the Canon EOS R is the best overall value. You cna find less expensive options like the Canon RP, Sony a6400, and maybe even the Canon M50, but if you go too far on the budget end things will just end up being frustrating.
As always, a perfectly timed video for my projects - thank you. I'm now playing with the Rode mics on my EOS R to find the best options for filming video with me at a whiteboard explaining stuff, which is further than me at a desk. I think the challenge is more my technique than the equipment!
Great tips, I've always placed my mic towards my mouth as you initially did. I think I'm going to spend some time and actually test out different arrangements to see what can be improved. Learning the ins and outs of your gear is just as important as actually using it. Keep up the great quality content.
Oh man.... I needed this 3 days ago! :) Finally starting my own channel and did the first video, but the sound was all out of wack, so had to redo it. I figured out most of the stuff (have a Canon M50 with 16mm 1,4 lens), but still some real value bombs here! Will test out the positioning of the microphone. Right now I have it on top of the camera. I invested in the Røde Videomic NGT with adjustable thingies on the back. First it was a lot of hissing/room noise, but once I set down the gain (?) in camera, and adjusted the wheel thingy on the back to 7, it sounds really good (at least to my untrained ear). A bit of a perfectionist and I cannot for the life of me start off with a iPhone video and internal sound, so I bought the mic and the 16mm 1,4 lens and now motivation is super duper :) Also, very inspiring to listen to you and Peter's podcast and last episode was great (feat Heather).
Awesome video man, love your channel because we literally use the same equipment haha. Really liked the in depth explanation on mic placement. Like you mentioned I always point my rode video mic pro+ at my subject (when using it at a boom). Which makes sense why it was always picking up ambient noise. Definitely going to try your method next video project! Also, when you said to have the 20+ selected on the mic, and the settings turned basically all the way down on camera, would there be much difference if nothing was selected on the rode mic, and the audio adjusted accordingly (in manual) on the eos r? That is typically what I have done. Thanks, keep up the great work!
Hi Tom. I also have the 24mm SIGMA f/1.4 lens and I love it! I wonder what your solution is to on-the-go recording with that lens and the videomic? You've mentioned in earlier videos that you like using the 24mm SIGMA lens for recording on-the-go. HOW do you get around the annoying autofocus sound from the SIGMA lens? I use the Rode Videomic NTG, which is similar to the Videomic Pro Plus, and it clearly picks up the SIGMA autofocus click noise. In my studio obviously I record my main audio to an external recorder but for on-the-go I record straight in to the camera with my other lenses. I may have to put on an external recorder when using this lens. How do you solve this dilemma?
Hey there! My super professional answer is that I just ignore it. I haven’t found a great solution yet, although turning up the mic’s gain (and lowering the camera’s) can sometimes help.
@Tom Buck Thx, yeah I use the same trick but it doesn't do it well enough. I'm playing around now with different brackets to get the mic a bit higher and further out from the lens. Hopefully it won't pick up so much clicking from the lens when I'm done. The challenge is to make the overall camera package small enough to carry without looking like a reporter and still get the proper quality. I really enjoy your videos. Sidenote: I started watching Peter Lindgren recently, before you guys teamed up. How funny that the two tubers I watch the most started a podcast together. Freaky!!!
You posted a video that had a link to go from the Rodecaster to the Sony camera for audio. What cable was that? You said you found one that works great!
I did! Thanks for noticing! I still want to project my enthusiasm (ba dum tssh), but I found that people were having a really hard time figuring out who I was, so using my real name just kind of clears things up a bit.
Tom Buck ahhh I see I see! You could always say “welcome to the enthusiasm project my name is Tom Buck thank you for tuning in etc etc! Haha. But yeah man do you have a kit account or amazon affiliates account I might buy the rodecaster pro your videos taught me a lot about it!
That’s pretty much my plan. Seems like real name is working well for you! I do have affiliate link is every video description and the Rodecaster is in there (thank you!), but it’s often sold out...
Hmmm... I'm confused; Is the Rode VideoMic Pro+ the mic you showed as your overhead mic? If so, is there a long wire leading back to the camera, and then from the camera to the podcaster pro mixing board...which then is plugged into the ATEM Mini Pro switchboard? I'm trying to figure out all of the connecting points. :-(
The Videomic has a long 3.5mm cable that connects it to the camera, and the camera records the audio directly. If I ever use the Rodecaster, I either record internally and then sync the audio in editing, or connect it via USB and select it as an audio source for whichever app I'm using. 👍
@@tombuck Perfect!!! Thx!!! FYI, I'm a Noob... I just bought the Canon EOS R, Atem Mini Pro, Rodecaster Pro, Sigma 245mm Art lens, Canon EFs 18-55mm, Shure SM78, Rode VideoMic Pro+, wires, lights, stands, and a few other accessories... all based on your videos! Your videos are GREAT... informative and inspirational! I haven't plugged everything in yet [still waiting on deliveries], but you have really sparked a creative light in me!!! You'll see me again in many of your other comments. Thx!!!
Tom! I've been using the pro+ for my videos for a while now and have alway pointed it in that diagonal/downward direction and noticed a fair bit of reverb. My room is has a fairly large echo which is unfortunate but I'll have to try pointing in directly down in the next one, thanks for the tip 👍 p.s loving the podcast on the way into work, keep it up!
Thanks for the vids. Confused with the Rode VideoMicro. There’s NO SOUNDS if I adjusted the value too left. There’ll be TOO LOUD and lens autofocus noise be recorded, too, if I set among the center spot. Wondering how to set correctly
The Rodecaster will probably deliver better sound since it has cleaner preamps, but the NTG is just so convenient when plugged in to your camera. That’s usually the route I take.
@@tombuck awesome thank you. I was thinking about running my Rode videomic NTG into the rodecaster pro and using my rode video micro on my camera as a backup. Thank you for your reply!
"...Sound advice for your sound settings! " This is FANTASTIC! Now I actually have to DO it...🤦♀️I have an NTG4 and Zoom H4N...and SHOULD have it figured out by now...🤦♀️
In cameras should use profiles for different usage situations; video, photography.. This way camera save all the settings what are quick to select as default settings whatever is doing.
I might be wrong, but I think there are cameras out there that will let you save difference setting profiles. I think they're usually not to focused on audio, but it does exist!
Someone else suggested I should have said, "sound advice for your sound device" and now I'll be kicking myself the rest of the day for missing the opportunity.
Noticed name change! I think it was a good move. My channel is technically called "the social life of language", however, I'm also a published author and academic and it was SO difficult for people to find my TH-cam. Plus, you can unify all social media accounts too!
My equipment is listed in the description but that’s a tough question to answer since there are so many variables with use/budget/environment/etc. the good news is that it’s tough to us a bad cameras these days- they’re all great. As for camera mics, I do love the Rode Videomic NTG.
Not all cameras have an external microphone jack. It is one of the the biggest blocks to recording good audio. You can use a audio recorder then combine in post.
Ahh! It's been 3 years and people were still having a really hard time figuring out who I was, so I thought this would make things a little easier. But now you had the opposite problem, haha
I genuinely thought I was about to get a great tip at the end there… and then, at the last second, I saw that ‘level’ joke barrelling towards me like a truck. Unforgivable.

Hey Ron! I always appreciate the stamp of approval from an audio pro like yourself.
I found your channel last week from your podcast with Peter and I'm really loving it. You are SO helpful. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Josh!

You’re welcome! I’m really glad their useful for you.
Man I bought the rode-caster pro and started my podcast I’m in love. Thanks so much for all your advice
Can you recommend a main camera for at a budget price? We are shopping and @HeatherRamirez recommended that we talk to you. Thanks!
It depends on what your budget is. Camera recommendations are tough, but speaking generally, I think the Canon EOS R is the best overall value. You cna find less expensive options like the Canon RP, Sony a6400, and maybe even the Canon M50, but if you go too far on the budget end things will just end up being frustrating.

That is a tricky setup. That's when I like to get a long 3.5mm cable and move the mic as close to me as possible.
@@tombuck Good idea! Was thinking of putting my Rode NTG on a boom stand just out of camera range.
As always, very informative and easy to follow video!! Thank Tom!!😁
My pleasure!

Learning the ins and outs of your gear is just as important as actually using it. Keep up the great quality content.
Thank you! It really came down to me taking the better part of an afternoon to just play around and experiment until I found a better result. 👍
Very good info! The meters on FCPX have been a game changer for me while using different mics in same video. Thanks again for the great content!
Oh man I love those meters!
Tom Buck I would also love it if you could set that you wanted your levels to be at -12 in FCPX and it would automatically adjust! Wishful thinking!
That would be so nice! There must be a plug-in or something that can do it 🤔
Oh man.... I needed this 3 days ago! :) Finally starting my own channel and did the first video, but the sound was all out of wack, so had to redo it.

Thanks Zach! I don't know if there'd be a _huge_ difference with those settings, but you could possible introduce a bit more gain noise.
I was really hoping you'd say "Sound advice, for your sound device" - Missed opportunity man lol
Ah man....so much yes!!
oh..my...gosh. I think I need to delete and re-record this video.
+20Db, headphones, pre-test all good advice. Thanks, Tom.

There shouldn't be. The mics low end response should transfer to whichever camera you're using.
