Great advice, and advice for what equipment to use. You're absolutely right, there is no need to go and get the most expensive gear to get great quality. 90% of the time, its the initiative to go and do what you need to do, that stops you, not the if you have the best gear or not. Wished I had all these options when I started :) including great video tips. Well done!
Ha! TH-cam is a great resource and it’s still so new when compared to traditional resources before the platform. Just trying to share what I’ve learned to help folks level up. I like to try to stay budget when I can, but sometimes you’ve got to add a few more dollars to level up, but equipment today is so capable that you don’t have to spend thousands to get the same result.
Yeah, I mean my audio gear is some of my favorite pieces of video gear. A worthwhile investment that the audience sure appreciates. 😉 Thanks for popping over 🤙
Been watching you for a while since you got the a6400, anyways I found this video a day after I already ordered the Scarlet 2i2 3rd Gen, then I seen the Motu M2 in this Video and Read lots of Reviews and had to do a exchange, thanks for the video I made the right choice to pair it with my new SM7B. That's a Good Shotgun Mic you have I figured if this SM7B doesn't work out for what I need to do then I can pick up a Deity S Mic 2S, Great Video!
Hey, great to have you pop back over here. Glad to help. The Scarlett 2i2 is definitely a great interface, but yes, I’ve done a ton of research and heard great things about the MOTU, which honestly, I haven’t had an issue. The SM7B is a great mic. I mean it’s a lot of mic for sure. Definitely quality. You should be fine with it. The only thing about the SM7B is that some have said they needed a cloud lifter to get clean gain, however others have said it’s been fine without. Either way, you’re going to be rocking. Sending my best on your setup.
I knew you’d appreciate it. I don’t know what it was about this one. Recording, stop, re-recording, then the edit. Then I had to re-upload it four times because I kept finding something that didn’t render correctly, or something I forgot. 🤷♂️ I only share that because it’s about persistence. Sometimes you just have to keep pushing forward. There are times to walk away, but this one pulled me back in, thankfully 😉 But, there you go 🎁👊
You hit the nail right there 🔨 I may have wanted a higher level of production, but with every upload I learn something new and I know that my level my inspire someone else, just as someone else’s may inspire me (regardless of level). Beauty of the platform.
@@KevinRossRN dude same. Every video I feel much more comfortable and learn something new about the process. Love the experience and hopefully the journey will lead to growth. Is YT your full time gig?
Most definitely. And to your question, yes and no. My original plan for 2020 was full-time YT, however b/c of the pandemic I needed to stay put so to speak. I own/run an entirely different business(in healthcare), and we serve high medical need, uninsured individuals (long story). I have quite a few colleagues on the team, so it does make it easier. However, I also put in full-time hours into the channel because I stopped taking a salary at my other gig 👆and this is what I had set out to do, and not to mention the revenue from the channel has helped me continue, as well as replaced part of my other salary I’m not taking. Although I have done this YT thing off and on for years with zero financial return. I just love it. I covet my time and I prioritize what I want. I still sleep, I eat healthy, spend time with my family, and exercise everyday. 👈 that’s not to be a public service announcement or anything 😀 it’s just my way of saying that if you really want it, you work, but when you’re doing what you want, the work doesn’t translate the same as a 9-5 because it’s something you’re building on your terms. Good grief, that’s a video right there 🤣 How about you?
Hi there! Your channel is amazing. I started my podcast because of you showing me how to set up the sound on my iPad and record. Question I am looking to expand to youtube and use my phone camera to record the podcasts and the mics/audio interface you advised in the iPad podcasting video. How can I sync my audio and video using my iPad? Thank you!
Congrats on the podcast. Happy to have helped. So, I did do a video on this, but can’t recall the exact one. If you’re still recording the audio through the interface to the iPad and then the iPhone video is separate, I assume you have a video editing software you’re working with (or will). I would just take that audio clip from the iPad you recorded on and move that into your video editor, and then the video (with the raw audio) will be placed on top of the audio in the timeline. The easy way to sync this up is to clap really loud at the beginning before starting the show and then you can see these wave forms in the audio tracks from the iPad and the iPhone. Line up those spikes in the track, and then once they’re synced, then just lower the volume on the audio from the phone and you should still be synced up with the better audio from the iPad. Hopefully that is what you’re asking about. And if not, I’ll take another crack at it 😁
@@KevinRossRN Thank you so much for your quick and detailed response!! I use iMovie but for some reason it gets synced up in the beginning perfectly but then as the video plays (they are usually around 1.5 hours) the sync gets off, not by a lot but enough to definitely notice. So I was wondering if there was a different software besides iMovie you recommend for the iPad that would work? I haven’t gotten my laptop yet but if it will make my editing process easier I am definitely going to look into it. I have heard Adobe Premier Pro is perfect for syncing but unfortunately I need a laptop for that…. Also!! I am looking to upgrade my camera eventually for videoing, is there one you recommend for podcasting videos that doesn’t break the bank? Thank you SO much for all of your help. I really appreciate it.
@yelinadavis For an iPad editing experience I’d recommend either LumaFusion, Davinci Resolve for iPad, or Final Cut Pro for iPad. Davinci is free. I would stick with the iPhone camera for as long as possible until you feel like this is something you really want to do and sustain. However, once you’re ready to move up, something like the ZVE10: geni.us/AlphaZVE10 This will be a camera you can grow into and that has the option for interchangeable lenses.
@@KevinRossRN haven’t started anything yet, looking to start soon. But I’ll definitely check that app out. When I start the plan is to use my iPhone for the camera
Hi Kevin, thank you for this amazing video! I like to start with my own video channel (about software development) and I have following question: Is it a bad idea to connect the MOTU (line out) to the mic-Input of the cam (GH5)? Or is it better to record the sound via PC, because of better sound quality? Thanks in advance and thumbs up for your fantastic tubes! Regards Marc
Thanks! The one thing to be mindful here is that it is possible, just make sure to experiment with the input on the camera. The motu will of course still need to be powered, but I’ve definitely used the line out of an interface or handheld recorder into a camera. Just play around with it since it’s harder to see the audio levels to make sure you’re not clipping.
Yeah I’ve featured the Zoom in other videos as a podcast solution and for a video setup. It’s great. And if you already have it, then you’d just need a mic. What are you currently using as your mic ?
@@KevinRossRN I have the zoom. I’m wondering what mic to get to make it work. I have tried lavalier (plugged at the back of the zoom) but I didn’t see any difference
A lav mic is fine, but definitely not as full a sound as a shotgun mic either below you or above you just out of the shot. Are you just mounting the Zoom on your camera and using the built in XY on it?
@@KevinRossRN I’m recording external sound and syncing with video. In the past, I would get sound from dj mixer and sync them in post (for weddings) But I want to start doing videos similar to what you’re doing
Gotcha. So for this studio setup, you are half way there. I do have Lav mics, but again, they sound a bit “thin” unless you get a good one. The shotgun mic options I would recommend for a reasonable (mid-tier) price would be Deity or Rode. I’ve linked up a couple in the description. Deity has two options, while Rode has quite a few. The XLR connected shotgun mics will give you a better way to scale and improve that quality, but with your handheld, you’d be fine pushing these as I do believe the H4N does have phantom power.
Hey Kevin! You’re awesome! I was just wondering... While you’re editing, can you leave the headphones in the interface and hear what you’ve recorded when editing? Or do you have to take them out?
That’s exactly how I monitor my audio while editing. It’s been a game changer. It’s funny because I’ll edit my video using my interface and these studio headphones and get it all dialed in. Then I double check how it all sounds through my AirPods and then realize how terrible AirPods sound... I mean AirPods are fine and I’m used to them, but once you come off an interface and a good set of monitoring headphones, you just notice it. If that makes sense. But yes, feel free to keep those plugged in during editing. Just make sure to look at the levels in your editor and on the interface because you can crank the interface monitoring output up, but that doesn’t mean this is what your edited output will be. I keep my vocal audio at around -6dB
How come you record both into the deity and the handheld? I have an older handheld but never use it and just use the lav that's plugged into camera. I'm not adverse to going more complex to have better audio. Right now it's just about space and set-up time. I also have no idea how to sync audio in DR, just another thing I need to learn. :) I've been using Audacity for ages as well on windows to record at my desktop. It's a great program that's free (you can donate to the creator). Another good video. Love learning from you.
Thanks! So, just wanted to clarify your question about recording both into the Deity, and the handheld. So typically I record directly into the handheld and then sync it up in post like I showed. However in this example (after unplugging from the handheld) I was recording through the interface and then grabbed that audio to sync up... Anyway, not sure if I complicated or answered your question 😉 I do love using the handheld. One the advantages in my workflow though is that it’s nice to have the interface for editing my videos. Such a massive difference dialing in audio with that vs. plugging in a pair of headphones or using AirPods to edit 😀 But, we all have to start somewhere. And yeah, love audacity as well. I actually forgot to link them up as I usually do 👊👍
@@KevinRossRN Thanks for the quick response (as always) I think I get why you record in two places, is it to have more quality control? Are both the deity and handheld plugged into an external sound interface like the one you showed which is then in turn plugged into the laptop or other computer? I think I'll worry about more complex sound when I have a definite studio rather than my dining room lol. Like I said, makes for difficult setup, and I don't mind the Lav mic in the camera as it's still leaps above my old Lumix's mic. I'll def re-watch your vid to try and get some more clarification.
No worries. And no, I don’t plugged the Deity into the handheld and the interface simultaneously...I was just recording into the handheld at first to show the interface, and then there’s a section where I unplugged the Deity from the handheld, you then heard my built in camera audio (terrible) and I then plugged the Deity only into the interface for that section. So I don’t use them together, although you could use the handheld as a backup in case the computer crashed...but it was just one at a time. And yeah, I started with just plugging into the camera with a Rode video micro and it was great...it just wasn’t until I realized that the camera preamps just don’t cut it, although Sony preamps are pretty decent (from what I’ve experienced).
@@KevinRossRN Okay ty for the explanation! makes more sense lol. Def gonna re-watch. My wife just got her m1 macbook air so I'm mr. tech support atm even though I haven't used a Mac in years! lol. Some of it's coming back to me though. She's having fun discovering MacOS as it's her first time with an Apple computer. Just plugged in an external monitor with a dongle I bought her and she went "ooh!" when the dock swapped screens. It's fun seeing someone discover all this newness.
Ah yes. We replaced my wife’s 2010 MBP with an updated M1 and as you can imagine, 10 years is quite a bit of time between an upgrade, so she’s pretty excited by so many things, especially the battery life.
Hey Kevin, I love this set up but the way I film is in 15 second takes. So i will usually have up to 30 video clips for my videos. After every take I stop the recording so I can read over the next part of the script and regroup. I feel that is will get very annoying/might forget to press the stop button on my camera along with my audio interface. Can you use one audio file for multiple video clips? Or is there any solution to not have to remember to have to hit stop and record on two devices?
So, not exactly sure what you’re recording, I guess I’d have to check it out. I’m on my mobile device on YT studio answering comments, and the mobile version doesn’t give me the option to click on your channel 🤷♂️ First, I would say that it would be a pain to try and edit it that way to just leave audio going and cut the video. I think it would create more work. However I remember when I first started doing talking head videos and I used to record in a very similar way. I’d always stop the recording and then restart, whether I was redoing a part, or just breaking up the parts I was recording. Now, you may have found that this is good in your workflow and I certainly don’t want to force a change in your muscle memory. Have you thought about just leaving the camera recording the whole time, filming that section, then reading the next section, and then clap before you start talking again?
Because Im thick as shit when it comes post production basically this adptor allow me to record SM57 going into my interface simultaneously with camera video on my iphone ? that would be wicked as i cant really afford mv88 that goes into iphone super thanks man !
Yeah, the interface can be connected to the phone and then the video you’re recording will pick up the SM57 that is connected to the interface. I have to say that these audio interfaces are some of my favorite pieces of tech because they save so much time and frustration.
It’s FCPX, but iMovie is also an option. Davinci Resolve has a free version of their editor, but Final Cut also has a free trial if you need to take it for a spin.
@@KevinRossRN to date I have never been able to get accurate synchronization with my audio/video...due to the inability for imovie to allow you to make precision moves with the audio files. ALways has been very discouraging.maybe a recent update has fixed that
I'm watching thru, but I just wanna see if others have issues with robotic-sounding voice after noise gate, De-hummer, and EQ settings. Sounds like a reverb plus robot talking :/
Great choice on audio interface.
Ha! Yes, it has been an awesome interface, and the MOTU community/support has been great thus far.
Cleaner than the ghost busters
I collect spores, molds and fungus.😉
Fantastic video man. Really helped understand the use of an audio interface.
Well I’m super stoked you found it helpful. And yes, the audio interface does the heavy lifting.

Have you thought about just leaving the camera recording the whole time, filming that section, then reading the next section, and then clap before you start talking again?
Because Im thick as shit when it comes post production basically this adptor allow me to record SM57 going into my interface simultaneously with camera video on my iphone ? that would be wicked as i cant really afford mv88 that goes into iphone super thanks man !
Yeah, the interface can be connected to the phone and then the video you’re recording will pick up the SM57 that is connected to the interface.
I have to say that these audio interfaces are some of my favorite pieces of tech because they save so much time and frustration.
What video editor are you using? iMovie?
This video has been so easy to understand and helpful just need clarification on the video editor!!
It’s FCPX, but iMovie is also an option. Davinci Resolve has a free version of their editor, but Final Cut also has a free trial if you need to take it for a spin.
Thanks for the help man!! Definitely gained me as a longtime subscriber and viewer!!
Just glad to help my friend. Appreciate your time and also having you around.
@@KevinRossRN to date I have never been able to get accurate synchronization with my audio/video...due to the inability for imovie to allow you to make precision moves with the audio files. ALways has been very discouraging.maybe a recent update has fixed that
I'm watching thru, but I just wanna see if others have issues with robotic-sounding voice after noise gate, De-hummer, and EQ settings. Sounds like a reverb plus robot talking :/
Are you editing in FCPX?
@@KevinRossRN Yes FCPX & Resolve.
And I forgot to ask, what are you recording into?
