best motovlogging channel going, love to see more of your post/editing, been messing around with the LUT packs---easy and dramatic improvement in the look of GoPro footage! Well done, as always
the section from 6:04 onwards was very insightful. especially going the extra mile to test what sounds best depending on where you had the mic sitting. great vid man
Man!!! how have i not come across this before!! great tips... as a motovlogger myself, I know how bloody hard it is to get the sound right! I am still struggling. Thanks for the tips mate!
Great info, I bought the zoom H1N recorder and Rhoed mic, works a treat. You do some good vids, great editing, straight to the point no nonsense, informative stuff, nice work.
Awesome tip.i have the hero session ,so i dont have a mic plug but instead i used something better and something that we all have,smartphone.i placed them as you are at my jacket and its sound miles better!!!👌
Thank you so much after 2 days frustrating testing, I finally got rid of the wind noise thanks to your video. Hiding the Mic somewhere wind does not hit it. THANK YOU
Great vid Rob, thanks for this. I've been a m-vlogger for some years but one of the main things that stops me proliffically uploading content to the Tube of You is the poor quality I previously got from both audio and video. Fast forward to 2022 and I'm now rocking a more up-to-date GPH9, but as tech has advanced I'm now running audio from my helmet intercom into the media mod of the GP, I'm still not happy with the limited control over the audio from the GP, so I'm now looking at ditching the spoken audio into the GP and maybe, as you have done, just run ambient bike/wind audio into the GP, and recording both MY audio as well as that from my intercom into an external handheld such as the H1n or similar. I had been looking at the Zoom Podtrak P4 as it also doubles as a Podcast interface (which is something else I'm looking at delving into) but it is bulky for the bike and the inputs are XLR.
Really amazing quality audio . This video make me decide to buy zoom h1n recorder + lavalier mic boya by-m1 + deadcat mic. While editing process, i do playing audio files only from zoom and its very amazing sound. 😍 Thank you for sharing information
Great explanation.. I usually plug my zoom h2n directly to gopro mic adapter and then to gopro camera which have ulanzi door so no sync needed.. the settings I use is XY, gain 5, mp3 320kbps , lo cut On does the job
@@musclefox223 it's Genuine GoPro 3.5mm Mic Adapter and it's compatible with gopro 5 and up I think Or you can record separately ( video and sound ) and sync together in post
Just got the Zoom H4N Pro Black and left it under the passenger seat with two foam sheets for padding + a windshield. The exhaust on my CBR 600 F4i was so loud I had to reduce input level to just 1%. Makes a world of difference compared to a Gopro out in the open for sure!
Great video. Now I am planning get H5. My current setup is Zoom H1 and lav mic, which cost a bit less than H5. Clipping the lav mic on belt, right above my butt. This location can reduce most of the wind noise, but the sound from H5 is so much better !
@@haisanjafri My recorder is H1, it's is an older model. It picks up wind noise easily after 60 km/hr. This might be attributed to the configuration of my bike, CB1100 which doesn't provide a wind-proof place to mount the recorder. Most common place to mount H1 is the storage space under the backseat, but my CB's storage space is at the middle of the bike and it's too far from the pipe. That's the reason I put an external lav mic. The H1N has new features like, 3 lv. of low cut and limiter, some says they work well as wind noise cancelling features. I got several idea from other good sound quality channel, using H5 or H6 with dynamic microphone mounting between mudguard and wheel. This is what I'm planning to do as soon I saved enough money, a big amount of money.
I use a Purple Panda inside my helmet. I have a Gopro Hero 7 Black. I change the Gopro protune setting for mic to "wind." This is fine for me. I get great voice quality with little wind sound and for me the sound of the motorcycle is fine. I reduce my breathing sounds in post production using premier pro's Dynamic affect. This is best for me, I am not a pro though, but I am happy with it.
As usual some good tips, I think I may try my tascam in the rear pocket section of my riding jacket, although I don’t have some sweet sounding pipes at least it will resemble the sound without the wind noise. Just out of interest did you do some sort of media course or is it all self taught. I am in construction and flicking old so trying to teach myself 😂 Ian Back on Two Wheels
I bought some cheap audio recorded, put it under my seat next to tool bag and went for a test ride... Overall compared to gopro it's so much better and there are so many sounds like clearly hearing hear shifts and clanking of tools in the bag... Raw sound is really raw so I'm now looking for some audio tips how to fix it. Also I need some sponge to cover the mic.
Great video with valuable tips, I'm looking for a wireless microphone to use in the helmet that pairs via bluetooth with the go pro 11 but apparently it doesn't exist... I can't believe that at the current technological level of the 21st century, motorcyclists have to ride with a bunch of wires and all sorts of kludges, just to get external audio on the go pro... Sacant by the manufacturer, which for commercial convenience prefers to sell expensive and monstrous adapters, harming the user experience, than allowing a microphone or wireless headset pair via bluetooth, which I believe would technically be possible, unless I'm mistaken...
4:21 The purple panda mic in your helmet, is it connected to the camera or to the zoom h5? 7:54 Can you explain more the dual mic setup please? Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks heaps - struggling with getting the exhaust audio without it clipping. Running a DJI action 4 with the DJI mic 2 - put -12 DB in the menu and chucked the mic in a tail back with lots of padding ,still get the cracks (very loud pipes). Will try more padding and putting it inside a jacket pocket.
Great video. How about using the DJI mic with osmo action 3 (my set up) one mic in the helmet and the other in the pocket? Need to try it. Very inspiring and neat video again.
Great video and timing…now all I need to do is go for a ride and get some sweet, sweet audio 🤗 also love your backpack trick - I’ve tried using some gopro/camera mounts to my bike and am finding the zoom gets a weird rattle noise through the frame at high revs so I’m definitely gonna try your backpack/beanie trick 🤗…one question tho…how do you get your gain levels set whilst it’s in your backpack (does it muffle sound much?)
Yea it’s best to cushion it otherwise you’re gunna get rattles, or vibrations throughout the audio. It muffles sound a bit. In post is where all the magic happens. The first time I try my zoom in a new spot I always have the headphones attached and give the throttle a crack. This gives me a basic idea. Then throw an EQ on it in post boosting highs and mids. Blending my helmet mic comes in handy for definition too
I got a $30 audio recorder from amazon and threw it inside a dead cat. Gonna pocket it and hope I get the levels good for some dope audio. First time ever.
Definitely very helpful, one of the best Moto Audio tips videos. Excuse my ignorance, but what about capturing clear sound from your voice - How are you managing that once you have the ambience audio nailed down?
I got myself a camera + audio setup for 180 euros: gopro hero white 7 for 110 (second hand), the parts for helmet setup for around 20, zoom h1 for 20 (secondhand), deadcat for zoom h1a for 12, sdcards 128g + 32 gb for 16. Honestly all I need since il be making pure sound type videos only! :) would recommend people to look into second hand, so much value to be found!
Great content. I do have a couple of questions. With the zoom why not use it all the time to capture your audio? With the chin mounted GoPro you ( I think you did) hooked up a lav mic under your seat then moved it around. How did you get your two lav mics to hook into your GoPro. Help pls. What did I miss? Thanks from canada
Hi Rob, Thank you for making great insight video on audio recording🙏 Mate I just have a quick question regarding chin mount as I live in sydney and what I have heard is you are not allow to use chin mount for go pro and cops will give fine with some demerits point? Please help your fellow rider thanks mate
I have always just stuffed my iPhone in the boot of my bike and used voice memo’s to record exhaust sound, it’s worked amazing and sound quality has been great, but I was looking for a more reliable option as when I’d get a call or message you can hear it vibrate in the audio😅 Killa video, definitely helped out
therefore the best solution to have cleaner audio is to use a zoom and then an external voice recorder, insert it in the backpack as you showed in the video.. for someone who doesn't like to talk but just wants to make videos where you can only hear the environment and motion it is the solution best do you confirm? because at first I thought about the rode lavalier go microphone to put inside the helmet, but then I remembered that if he had to speak "alone lol" or stupid example: sneezing, it would be heard in the final audio, so the best solution is the zoom inserted inside the bag, also because recorded zoom audio is superior to the rode microphone
Awesome work, fella. With the GoPro, I have a Hero 7 Black. I assume the mic goes into the adapter block, which then goes into the side of the GoPro. It’s finding a mount that can hold the block rather than it dangling down.
I started using the standard media mod mic with my GoPro 12. Not that good. I have a Zalman mic somewhere, I think I’ll test it inside of my jacket. Nice tip.
for my guys on a budget or just starting and have bought a gopro and can't shell out more for portable recorder, even zoom h1n, just buy a fifine usb mic, and attach it to your android phone via usb c otg cable. it will work almost similar to a high quality portable condenser mic. if your usb mic has gain settings, it's even better.
hey thanks for the tips! love your videos man. Now question.. I have a zoom h1n and I got rid of the wind sound but I get to hear too much of the mechanical parts, not just the exaust but also changing gears is way too loud or sometimes the sound of the motor is annoying. How do you actually get rid of that? do you use some compressor at editting? any on particular? thanks in advance and keep doing this videos! much appreciated
Great video. Towards the end you plug in a Purple Panda mic. Is that direct to your Hero 7 Black or did you have to use GoPro's "Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter"?
this is the most insightful video about audio recording your motorcycle rides.
Glad to help man 🙏
I couldn't agree more!

Dude... what are you?? Some kind of god?? Your quality of microphone is really out of this world along with your post processing skills 🔥
Finally got someone to truly deliver the content. Congrats 👏👏👏👏
Epic video Rob!! That gopro vs Zoom sound comparison at the beginning is awesome!!! 👊
Thanks heaps man! Massive difference hey!
Genuinely insightful video. I always wondered how you synch it all up and that clap trick is so simple. Great Vid mate.
Yea I’ve had quite a few people asking how to do it. The ol sync clap works a treat 👌

Thank you for your great video. But You gotta have the media mod for gopro if you wanna use the external mic right?
Awsome video once again! Would you mind sharing your settings you use on the zoom recorder please?

I might have to try this out! Sticking your phone on airplane mode should sort it 👌
@@MotoFeelz that’s definitely an idea I’ll be trying!
I do this with my android but the wind noise just becomes too loud over 40mph! Use a purple panda mic
therefore the best solution to have cleaner audio is to use a zoom and then an external voice recorder, insert it in the backpack as you showed in the video.. for someone who doesn't like to talk but just wants to make videos where you can only hear the environment and motion it is the solution best do you confirm? because at first I thought about the rode lavalier go microphone to put inside the helmet, but then I remembered that if he had to speak "alone lol" or stupid example: sneezing, it would be heard in the final audio, so the best solution is the zoom inserted inside the bag, also because recorded zoom audio is superior to the rode microphone
Good tips. That's a parametric eq btw ;)
Mind sharing the external mic settings? Could be usefull as a baseline for us. Thanks man!
Not sure if you're in the market for another motorcycle jacket, but if you are, could you do a review on Enginehawk jackets?
Haha I’m not, but they hit me up along with Ruroc. See what happens
Awesome work, fella. With the GoPro, I have a Hero 7 Black. I assume the mic goes into the adapter block, which then goes into the side of the GoPro. It’s finding a mount that can hold the block rather than it dangling down.
Try a Ulanzi case. Works for me!

Bro, You can do the same by capturing the raw audio on topro on all 3 channels 😅, this is what i recently discovered 👌
Hey Rob, scrolled through all the comments and don’t think I saw it answered :) - how did you do the “dual” mic setup at the end?
thanks!
So do you use dji wireless for vlogging and also this one for catching the exhaust sound??
Did you change any of the other input settings on the h5? The audio sounds super crispy!
