This is the perfect mix of fun and technical.
Agreed!
Fuchnical?
@@henrytheturnip nah
Watching here too Sir Tom! looking for a Shotgun Boom mic to put in Rodecaster Pro for livestream and for recording guitars..
This is what I'm looking at right now..
NTG 4+
NTG 5
or NT5 (pair mics)
I hope you get verified soon
I'm an audio guy, and I often watch these simple audio videos if I see them in my feed. I mostly watch them to make myself angry of the stupid things people say in those videos and the bad advices they give. But this is golden, easy to understand, not oversimplified, and also pretty fun.
Lol. I do the same with amateur film makers. We all have to start somwhere but it is fun going “NO NO NO ITS ALL WRONG”
Great collab, thank you for all the information!
0:55 - 2:31 The face you make when you try to stay awake in class
Totally me 😂
looks like he's looping 🤣
hey your comment got selected 😀
I'm dying 🤣
lol
😂😂
i got yawning a lot hahahahahaha and subs are far-off
man, I'm loving it when you bring in experts and have them tell us what's up about gear and filmmaking!
@Dean Palumbo Isn't that illegal? I'm pretty sure hacking someone else's social media account could be viewed as fraud and identity theft. What is wrong with you?
@@standarduck5860 ye it is, what did they even say?
This was an awesome informative video, great job guys!
I’m glad to HEAR that you guys are having fun!
Fantastic video! I"ve never been glued to a video that was as technical and entertaining regarding microphones - it's something that I've looked for for years. Your work is much appreciated!
Thanks for this video it really helped me out a bunch. I have been somewhat overwhelmed with all the different options out there trying to figure out which microphone to get to use for my setup.
Did you got it
Great value Jet! Appreciate the comprehensive audio breakdown. Good work Alex!
Sure
Loved it! Learnt a lot. There is joy and energy and laughter in all that ‘teaching': enjoyed it immensely! Especially that light spirited moods that your technical videos bring.
love your energy, you are always UP there! thanks for expanding my filmmaking knowledge in an entertaining manner and firrrr freeeee
one of the most crucial aspects of filming, yet one that scares and rattles me the most - sound and audio!
1:55 Potato Jet was so unimpressed
2:10 Potato Jet is falling asleep
2:47 Confirmed
Dont we all hate audio? But damn is it so important!
Guess what: people who get into home recording can't get enough of it. What a new shiny lens is for camera guys, is an awesome sounding (and looking) mic for audio guys
@@ichbrauchmehrkaffee5785 but I love listening to videos thorough the built in camera microphones 😂😂
You can hear the wind and the environment around them so well!... You can hear everything but the person talking 😂😂
I'm investing into new audio gear myself if I ever do solo operation. But hiring an audio guy is SO worth it!
This is one of the BEST and most USEFUL videos on sound I've seen! Cheers Gene and Alex 👌 (looking forward to the Post Production/Sound Mixing video)
Potato, this is the BEST overview of audio I've ever seen. The best 20 minutes one can spend to get all the audio information one needs quickly.
Bro you should have at least 3 Million subscribers!
I am sure he will have very soon! I learned a lot from him.
@@OUCGN im mad that he still in the 200k since i been following him...some of these others sky rocket soon as they get a couple big videos..i think folks not giving him the credit he deserves .
I love ur videos man..........big fan of ur tutorial... 😍😍😍😘please do vlogs also..... please 🙏🙏🙏
Just stumbled upon this vid. As a DJ/Music Producer/Radio Host who works a lot with post production and sound [live/studio] experience, this is THE BEST explanation/review I've come across on YT. Round of applause most def.
I love your videos that are more technical on the filmmaking side as opposed to the “vlogging” information. It’s apparent that you know a lot about cinema. Keep them coming!
This video didn't even feel like 22 minutes, time flies when you're having fun!
Omg this sure was a nightmare to edit with all audio documents
me ann intellectual It’s actually really easy, you can auto sync the audio files with the in cam Footage
@@asvargar8788 how?
@@samhaokip9126 Clap or use a slate and then line up all the audio spikes with the clap.
@@asvargar8788 or... just timecode sync your cameras to your audio gear
This is the run through on mics for entry to understanding mics and audio. Thorough and accessible information. Graci.
Went though several audio classes while in film school and this was a great refresher. Audio goes in one ear out the other for me, I'm an visual person.
20:56 - Hey that's me!
Hey man love your videos
Loved this video! Very informative and easily digestible. I would definitely like to see more technical stuff like this as well.
Thank you for breaking these down, I have been researching the different mics and was not sure which one to get. Great video
From Potato Jet to Potato Jetto.. 0:34.. Nice! Hehe
I don`t even need microphones, why am i watching this
So do I
Funny and some trivia hahhahahah
Because that guys voice is relaxing.
I guess the potato has catched you🤣🙃🥔
The more you know
Love the in-depth view on sound and mics. Probably the best and most helpful one I've seen yet!
Phenomenal - I wish I could communicate like this. The most amazing explanation I have ever heard. This is now pretty much like a reference education video. The content and pace. Amazing. Well done..
I like how when one of the guys is talking, the other one is awkwardly staring at the camera
Man, 08:09 could have TOTALLY used a little cat meow action. :P
10:07 - 10:20, EXACTLY what I needed to learn. That lip-smacking sound has always been my problem. Will definitely try this trick, or method. Much appreciate!
I've watched dozens of mic videos, this is the most helpful and useful one I've seen by far. thanks guys!
"how to edit audio for dummies" would be a great video
Niw i can recoRd toilet flUsh thx
You are the commenter on this channel that everybody else is on yours
Oh hey
One of the best vids I've seen in regards to the explanation of Mics! Love it!
Nice overview guys. One thing I didn't hear mentioned was how shotgun mics aren't often the best option for rooms that are very "live" with echo. A cardioid might be the better option. I know it's a full topic by itself, but talking about room treatment can be as helpful as choosing the right microphone. Having a few sound blankets on hand is often a lifesaver in echoey rooms.
This guy has a badass beard.
“What do you think about this rain we’re getting”
“I don’t like you very much”
“(Laughs nervously) haah ha hah😬”
I know right..yikes
Thank you so much for this video! Don't worry about long videos like this, so much great information. Keep it going!
I'm currently working on a project, and this video is a big help. Thank you!
Forget the microphones, I just want to find someone to caress my beard the way potatoe jet caressed Alex's!
>Which one's the biggest one? I'll take this one.
Ahh, the bar dating scene.
I really love those reviews where you give a good overview over a very complex topic like this one
Alex is THE audio OG. Super knowledgable and cool guy. Great video and info, Potato Jet. And great intro stunt! Thanks so much for posting.
Does plugging a boom mic into a sound recorder make the sound better in post?
Depending on the preamp, most likely. I guess most handheld recorders have higher quality preamps built into them than the cameras. There are obviously differences between certain brands and price ranges.
What I believe to be the case (but i have no prove for this) is that mics with the XLR-connector (the 3-pin plug) have the potential to be better in sound quality, as the mics used in pro sound studios pretty much exclusively connect via XLR.
You can actually often get an XLR-preamp, that plugs into your camera.
@@LuLeBe I know about balanced signals, thanks. Yes, it could be technically possible. I'm not saying the quality is dependant on the connector. But as far as I'm informed, the really high quality stuff for Studio use (like Neumann U47, Akg mics, Audio Technica, Lewitt etc.) mostly use the tank-like XLR connector, whilst mini-trs is commonly used for smaller mics like lav-mics, headsets, any scenario, where XLR is too big. Not that I'm saying, thoses are crap, but I wouldn't use a lav mic to record drums or accoustic guitar or singing vocals for that matter, that's were I would grab an XLR-mic, not because of the plug, but because of the mic. For video though, depending on whether I'm indoors or outdoors, I might consider one over the other
2:24 potato: this is my channel and this dude just won't stop talking, why am I even here..🤣
Haha noticed that too !
Hahahaha that was funny!
This channel is worthy of millions subscribers. Well balanced between information and entertainment. Best of luck Gene.
Thank you for this video- hustling around to understand audio and this particular tutorial kind of beats them all.
A (or more than 1) tutorial on post-production to all kinds of recording would be nice.(like vlogging, ambience, voice over etc )
Never have i thought microphones were so complicated, i just thought they had to pick up sound, thats it.....then, what type of microphones are in our smartphones?
Very cheap ones.
He doesn't look like the kid from up... he looks like a kid jackie chan 😂
😂
But is he eatin' sushi from jappaaann?! Cuz he's Jackie chann!
I am completely new to audio and all things microphone related - this video taught me exactly what I needed/wanted to know. Great content and loved hearing the different mics on camera, thanks for sharing! ⚡
This was awesome! You're finding great content that a lot of other videographers aren't talking about. Thanks.
Potato Jet now makes anime...😂
Lol

Turn the volume UP with the quality
Oooooohhhhh!
The Q&A at the end really helped. Thank you!
You two brothers are a great team! Partnership narration is not a common, and you guys do it well. And very informative! Cheers,
You look like that kid from the movie UP

Julián Anguiano its time to stop
Guys, can't you tell he still doesn't want to talk about it? Every since Carl went Russell just hasn't been the same.
Julián Anguiano such a original comment
Julián Anguiano yo someone needs to green screen him into up the movie next time he is behind green screen😂😂😂😂😂
There's too much jargons I feel so dumb 🤣😂
I love these sets of videos about different aspects of video production. I wouldn't mind seeing something about beginner tripods and heads (ball and pan/tilt).
His mic was bigger than yours. 😏
To make up for. . . Ahem
Lol
It Was Cold That Night!😂😂
8:19 My whole life was a lie...
Honestly, I don't know where all your subscribers are. Awesome videos through and through. You got an expert in here to explain the things you weren't sure about yourself. Great stuff
Oh man, thanks for the feature in the end! I really appreciate it! Also a video about audio quality is exaclty what I needed too...so 2 for the price of one!
"Just get some more money, like go out to the store and get some more money."
Like doing a robbery?
Wait, Potato is Kawaii Potato? Japanese? Senpai notice me!!!!
I'm looking into getting a microphone, always a pleasure learning a little more before you buy! Great video
Such a great video! Subscribed to alex channel. Look forward to learning more. I love the dry sense of humor!
Able to take a lot of abuse, rejects the world around it. Wow, apparently I'm a dynamic mic.
Talks about microphones while speaking a meter away from an SM7b without a signal booster...
Love the content anyways
Rookie mistake there!
Yet he is doing what we can only dream of with his channel! Love this guy :)
It's very likely you just can't see it in the shot. Or they just have a decent preamp that has enough clean gain on tap!
And just when you thought you knew about mic's .... I can appreciate how much time you put onto editing this video!
Wow! So much excellent info condensed into this relatively short video. Great primer.
9:56 - My exwife have a 19kHz voice...

At this point in the game, Gene you've got one of best/informative channel on YT. Thank you for all that you do.
Damn! That's a very cool way of explaining mics and I loved it, and have to say that it will help me a lot on improving my audio quality, thanks a lot you both
10:14 That's what drives me nuts about some of the NPR hosts--the lip-smacking mouth noises! Aim your mics lower, NPR!
That info was soooo incredibly useful! Thanks Alex and Potato!
that was HIGHLY needed! Thank you!!
I don't know if you'll see this but seriously man you're my favorite TH-cam. You bring so much happy energy and enthusiasm, and good info and good jokes. You naturally have a glowing personality man. It really makes your videos amazing. I was showing my lady your videos and she got wrapped into your channel and said "I was watching your guy today, I can see why you like his channel he so funny and full of energy and isn't dead or boring like other channels. He is professional but still funny and I really love the way his videos are out together"
You da man jet!
Thank you for doing an explanatory video on sound!! ❤️❤️
Great stuff, fun to watch. This chanel is awesome, Potato Jet!!
Nice overview. Sound is often overlooked, but makes such a huge difference in production value.
thanks for doing lights and sound guides! we are building out our studio for doing TH-cam videos and this is really really useful!
Thanks for answering the big microphone questions that I’ve been researching. I just subscribed to Alex’s channel, too.
Best description and demonstration of the types of mics!
this video was very insightful for me. Thanks potatojet!
Super helpful video & insight on a topic that is so important, yet often neglected. Definitely learned a few things; looking forward to more audio vids soon!
Brilliant video, well explained and I know what I need for wind and natural sounds. Thank you both.
Great video! Very informative. Great content and style! Thanks, man! I am looking forward to more videos!
This was great! Looking forward to the post-production audio which is kind of overwhelming to start out. Subbed to Alex, thanks!
This is the best video I've seen to date on microphones. Thanks for making this!
Love the magic of editing, allows you to know what a mic sounds like while your recording to the camera before you actually listen back to it...
I really like these collaboration videos potato. keep going!
waw, audio is a beast and this video made it feel less.. overwhelming lol - thank you for the amazing delivery and information!
Fun to watch! Very informative!! Thank you!
Really appreciate this video, learned a lot. I had previously been looking for audio info a few months ago and this taught me more than my hours of google research
