    Hi, thanks for the nice video. I only make documentaries outdoors, for working people (ethnic groups in remote countryside). I would like to ask a question please: I have a GH6 camera and its microphone is good. Again, I don't use the camera in my country, but only when traveling far. If you were me, would you use a small external mic or would you do without it? Thank you.

    My wife started narrating audiobooks several months ago so we've had to learn a lot about audio quality. The biggest takeaway for me was how crucial your environment is AND how important using an XLR mic. with a good interface is. We are fortunate enough to have a large walk in closet in a spare room that we were only using for storage so we turned that into a nice little sound booth. We piled a bunch of spare blankets and pillows on the high shelves that reached to the ceiling. For the walls I bought foam mattress toppers from Walmart as well as some foam cushion from the fabric aisle. Works like a charm! The great thing about treating a room or making a sound booth is how easy it is to DIY. Environment is everything!

    Mine sounds great on my EOS 60D but if i try to use it with my PC its a whole different story. The levels are low, i have put the boost at max +20 dB and it anyways sounds like i am speaking through a pillow. The Realtek 892 integrated sound chip basically offers no adjusting for mic input except boost. Do i have to get a dedicated soundcard to record to PC?
